DENON 2900

[wslagter]

<font color='#000000'>It seems that when playing my dvd-r or any other dvd movie on my ntsc 2900 and viewing it on my Toshiba widescreen hd tv, I am misssing approx. 10 % of the pichture *(height and width ) and can't adjust it in any way on my tv.
With my previous dvd player (toshiba) I could zoom in and out all the way until it would display the full picture, however, with the 2900, Zoom function is 4x,2x or *off.
But again even at no zoom still I am missing 10% of the picture.

Anybody else has noticed this before and is there a way to fix this ?

Thanks

<font color='#736AFF'>Very strange. &nbsp;Usually overscan is a matter of 5's or ten's of pixels, not percent of the picture. &nbsp;I have a DVD-2200 and have no problem whatsoever with overscan.</font>

<font color='#000000'>When I watch a movie on my pc dvd player ,I see the entire original film but I am not able to see the entire original frame as encoded on the DVD on my DENON 2900 &nbsp; &nbsp;so obviously the 2900 overscans and I can not fix this with the zoom button on the 2900 remote. ( it only zooms in )
&nbsp;Some better DVD players have an incremental zoom range allowing you to zoom out &nbsp;so you can underscan the overscanned image and restore the entire original film frame.
(My previous Toshiba dvd player had this option) &nbsp;

Nobody has ever experienced this with the DENON 2900 &nbsp;?? &nbsp;

Anybody knows how to fix this other than buying another dvd player &nbsp;??[U][B]</font>

<font color='#000000'>Does the picture look slightly shifted left?</font>

<font color='#000000'>I don't think the picture looks shifted to the left.
It just overscans the whole picture</font>

<font color='#000080'>Basic questions, but necessary... Have you adjusted through all of the Toshiba zoom modes and verified that your DVD player is set to widescreen 16x9 television format in th setup?</font>

<font color='#000000'>I set up &nbsp;the Denon 2900 in the widescreen 16:9 mode and checked all the Toshiba zoom out possiblities and checked all different modes like widescreen, full screen and does not help.

I hooked up the Denon 2900 with component cables to the Toshiba Colorstream input.
My Toshiba ( model TW65X81 ) has 2 Colorstream inputs &nbsp;Colorstream HD1 and Colorstream HD2 .
Switching the inputs does not help either.

I just wished that the Denon 2900 had incremental zoom out possiblities to easily solve the problem .
Could this be a Denon firmware problem?
My us firmware is: &nbsp;DVR 030728
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;B/E 6237 Q
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;Panel 6236 K
Don't know if this is the latest.</font>

<font color='#000000'>Has anyone had problems with DVD-R?? My 2900 will play most movies but freezes up and acting all strange. Some movies the display only shows &quot;no play&quot;. I´ve tried the discs in other DVD players and it works just fine... The most annoying thing is that the players I´ve tries on cost only a tenth of what the 2900 does....

I use Memorex discs and burn in Nero 6 and Stomp</font>

<font color='#000000'>No offense fellas,but it sounds like I can cross the 2900 off my list of players to consider.</font>

<font color='#000000'>I had similar problems with my player under review freezing up with certain DVD's (Star Wars I, Star Trek Nemesis, Avia) until Denon sent me a firmware update which fixed it. &nbsp;I was under the impression that the first run of units with older firmware suffered this fate. &nbsp;I recommend emailing Denon for the firmware fix at: j_talmadge@denonnj.com .

Perhaps Jeff can assist you with other outstanding issues.</font>
