damonrpayne Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 I have a progressive scan DVD player and the proper component video output. I connected my component outs last night to my Sony Wega. I don't have the model number, but it is not a true HD TV. The video is mangled with progressive scan on, I tried all the various modes. I can only assume the TV can't accept the 480p signal, but I thought all Wega TVs had that capabilty? Anyone know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cluless Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Sorry Darmon, Not all Wegas are HDTVs. Mine isn't. You have to buy one of the "hi-scan" models. (All bifors are not goloups either...oops sorry) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damonrpayne Posted June 19, 2003 Author Share Posted June 19, 2003 So to answer my question, you _do_ need HDTV capabilities (or close to it) in order for the TV to be able to accept 480p video? Thanks! The picture is still sharp as hell just with the nice cables. /me starts pricing HDTV models Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jzoz01 Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 Set the DVD player to 16x9 mode. Then use 19x9 enhanced mode on the Wega and the picture getts even better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damonrpayne Posted June 19, 2003 Author Share Posted June 19, 2003 BTW saw your sig, I have Henckel knives too. Last cutlery you'll ever need to buy And yes, I just moved recently and the movers groaned and said "Man, Wega is the heaviest TV made by _anyone_ !"

damonrpayne Posted June 19, 2003 Author Share Posted June 19, 2003 I'll have to look into that, I think I lost the manual to the Wega Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avman Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 the tv MUST be digital to accept 480p. yours is not. what is the model# of your 27"vvega? if it is a 'v' series, then it automatically shows widescreen movies in letterbox, if it is a 's' model, you have to manually choose 16:9 enhanced to 'unstrech' the vertical aspect of the widescreen movie. yor dvd player should be set to: 4:3 letterbox. avman.

damonrpayne Posted June 19, 2003 Author Share Posted June 19, 2003 I don't have the model number here but it does show widescreen movies in letterbox automatically. I need a new house, with a big room, so I can get a projector Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avman Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 i can tell you first hand if you get a pj in the right environment and feed it good quality video, you'll never want to watch a 'small' tv again. i have my 2nd pj,a sony vpl-hs10, and a 106" 16:9 screen i sit 13ft. back from. when i send hdtv to it i would put it against ANY rptv!! avman.

ben. Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 If the picture is mangled as in really screwy/scrambled, you may have some component video wires hooked up wrong. I've seen mislabeled gozintas and comzatas before. Try swapping them around, and check your video settings. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ss2nv Posted June 19, 2003 Share Posted June 19, 2003 I agree with bclarke. Mine was messed up because I switched two of the component plugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
damonrpayne Posted June 19, 2003 Author Share Posted June 19, 2003 The color is all screwed up, or black and white, if the plugs are in wrong. I've got the plugs right but it just won't do P-scan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
