    HDMI Cable between Explorer 8300HD and BenQ PE7700

    Y connector... connecting what to what? Don't understand. What you could test is to connect the SA8300HD with the HDMI connection to one TV and Component connection to the other TV. If you are lucky both connections could remain in place at the SA8300HD... but there is a possibility that the...

    Buying a new LCD TV, any suggestion?

    Came close to buy a 6000 LED LCD. But my observations viewing 6000-7000 and 8000 confirmed what I read in owners' threads concerning flashlighting, clouding and black spots in the four corners. And CNET review of the B750, with CCFL backlight, scored it as a better choice than the present...

    Buying a new LCD TV, any suggestion?

    May I suggest the following input in your decision making: 1- Percentage of movie viewing 2- Percentage of Sports viewing A higher percentage of Sports viewing, vs movie, could favor a Samsung LCD with 120 Hz or 240 Hz AMP. That recommendation would increase a great deal if you plan to...

    Damn you McCain!!!

    The Woodward interview was one of 3 stories carried by 60 minutes. The CNN Larry King show was for the entire hour, as you know. But the 60 minutes appearance was enough to get my attention and when I saw that Woodward was to be on CNN, I quickly scheduled the recording. On Larry King there...

    Hearing bass only in 5.1 DVDs but not in audio CDs

    I assume you play your CDs in the DVD player. Your DVDs playing with 5.1 audio use 6 tracks for sound including the track for LFE and low frequency sounds which are directed to the subs subject to your Crossover setting (80 Hz, 100 Hz?). As for your CD playbacks, even though CDs are in...

    Damn you McCain!!!

    I listened to 60 Minutes Sunday (CBS) and to Larry King Live (CNN) last night. Both programs had Bob Woodward who's book "War Within" was just released (ordered it from Amazon moments ago). Bob Woodward had a series of interviews (11 hours) with George Bush on the subject of the war in Iraq...

    Damn you McCain!!!

    First I thought McCain had a stroke of genius. Good looking woman as a running mate after Hillary's near win with 18 million votes during the primaries. I even thought of the very interesting series "Commander-in-Chief" on one of the Networks which had a woman as President... But, in...

    Now THIS is bass done right! New Sub!

    Simply love my SVS. Changed the whole dimension of my Energy sound system. 78 lbs for this down firing baby filling my 35' x 15" room (with a 20' x 11' side opening to the Bar).

    What's the difference between Dolby Digital & DTS?

    STB = Set Top Box which is a receiver for cable or satellite TV service. If you don't have one my comments were also applicable to your DVD player, should that be a player capable of upconverting via HDMI or if it is a Blu-Ray player.

    What's the difference between Dolby Digital & DTS?

    Your display is in 720p for HD. For programs in 1080i, you must decide if it is better to have the STB convert 1080i to 720p or have the STB transmit 1080i to your TV which will then need to convert in 720p. The latter you know so try the former (STB to send only 720p for HD). You may need to...

    What's the difference between Dolby Digital & DTS?

    My CRT RPTV displays HD in 1080i (not 720p) and displays SD in 540p (not on 480i)

    What's the difference between Dolby Digital & DTS?

    I was talking about display reolution, not resolution acceptance to be converted to native resolution.

    What's the difference between Dolby Digital & DTS?

    ...because you are saying your display is 1080i which is normally a CRT RPTV. And I don't know of any CRT RPTV with HDMI (mine has DVI). Your display must be 1080p and you must have either a LCD or Plasma display, no?

    What's the difference between Dolby Digital & DTS?

    It is unfortunate that your TV does not have HDMI or a DVI input. Upconversion of commercial DVDs to 1080i (your TV HD resolution) cannot be done and is limited to 480p (unless you copy a commercial DVD to DVD-R or RW disc). And the Oppo's SACD and DVD-A decoding requires HDMI or 5.1...

    Brand New to Home Theater

    You talk about setting up a brand new home theater but no mention of your plans for a display. I therefore assume you have no display device presently. Therefore, you may consider purchasing an audio/video receiver which will incorporate: HDMI switching (inputs1/output) because that is the...

    How would you connect these components, what cable's, which routes, etc. Help!

    Since your CRT TV does not have an HDMI or DVI input, and to make better use of your universal DVD player, I would connect it to the Pioneer Elite VSX-90TWV a/v with 5.1 multichannel analog cables (RCA type cables, just like your Red and White audio cables), if it has multichannel inputs.
