I think you can. I have the Oppo 971 with the DVI output. I have a DVI to HDMI conversion cable connecting the player to the HDMI input of my receiver. My Oppo upconverts to 1080i through its DVI output. I think your Oppo does the same upconversion through it's HDMI output. All you need is a...

I believe your Chinese all region players will convert the PAL video to NTSC. I am a big fan of British mysteries which I can buy from Amazon.uk. I had a cheap Cyberhome dvd player which played PAL dvds just fine even though this conversion capability wasn't advertised.

I have some TV shows in the form of Divx files which I was able to play on my Oppo 971H dvd player until I loaded the Sept. 22 firmware upgrade. After the upgrade the sound on the Tv shows is bad. The dialog is barely audible. The sound is stereo and was recorded in mpeg-1 audio. The programs...

I would like to second the recommendation on using a Panasonic DVD recorder. I am using the Panasonic DMR-EH50. It has a built-in hard drive. You can copy the VHS tapes to the hard drive, then edit them, create chapters, etc on the hard drive. You can then copy the finished result to a DVD-R...

I am using approximately 50 feet for my 5.1 system. All of it is on the floor. I have not run any through the floor or walls yet. All of it,except for the surrounds,is 10 gauge Blue Jean Cable. For the surrounds I bought cables from Amazon.com. Marketplace I don't know what gauge the surrounds...

What channels are the worst? Are you having problems on just some channels or a group of channels? I have the same model box from Cox Cable and had similar problems until I replaced the cable coming in from the wall. I was able to solve my problem by buying new cable from Radio Shack. (I think...

I cannot get closed captions from any devices connected to my home theatre receiver. I can get captions from dvds played on my dvd player. But I can not get captions from television programs broadcast on my dvd recorder, VCR, or cable box. I have the captions turned on at both the...

I read in one of these forums that HDTVs can play PAL video in addition to NTSC video. Is this true? I have a Sony KV32HS420 HDTV. I have an all region dvd player with a built in PAL to NTSC converter and I wish to upgrade to a dvd player with upconversion. I am looking at a region free...

Motorola cable box HDMI conflict-My workaround When I connected this cable box to the HDMI input on my receiver, I could not get the video from the box. The cable box has a DVI output so I had to use a DVI-to-HDMI conversion cable. I don't know if this conversion is part of the problem or not...

I am using a DVI to HDMI conversion cable to connect a Motorola 6200 cable box to a Denon 3806 receiver and a HDMI cable from the receiver to the TV, a Sony KV32HS420. I get no video at the TV. I remember reading that the connection sequence between the box, receiver, and TV had to be in a...

Am I missing something here? On my Denon 3806, I've got an S-video cable connected to the receiver input for my dvd player with a HDMI cable out to the TV. The video from the dvd player appears just fine. Is that what you mean by analog conversion? Now it is true you cannot down convert...

Are you getting anything at all from the cable box- audio? video? If you are not getting video, you might go through the setup menu at the receiver and make sure all the video conversions are turned on. If you are sending the cable box audio through a coaxial or optical cable, you might check...

I Fixed It! Thanks! OK. I got the grill cloth off. I removed the screws holding the woofer in place and was able to reach behind it and move the threaded insert back into place. That was NO fun . These stands which I am trying to connect to my speakers are the JBL stands that go with them...

Thanks for the reply. In order to get to the woofer, I will have to remove the grill cloth cover. The cover looks fixed on these little bookshelf speakers. How do you remove the grill cloth from a JBL Northridge N26 speaker?

I was in the process of mounting a bookshelf speaker to its speaker stand when the threaded metal insert in the base of the speaker came loose and fell back inside the speaker. The speaker is a JBL Northridge N26. It appears to be sealed so the only access is the hole in the bottom where the...

I have the same question in reverse. I have a DVD recorder and am considering renting a HD DVR cable box from Cox cable, and I want to copy programs from the cable box to DVD. You can record programs from a HD digital box without DVR to a DVD recorder, I have done that. The setup is very similar...

I think you will be OK running the RCA audio to your TV and the optical audio to your receiver. You are not splitting the sound as such. The optical audio out is digital and the RCA audio out is analog. That is the way I've got my system set up and I've not noticed any loss in sound. I've got a...

Is it only when recording that you don't get sound or picture? Can you play the cable box through your receiver OK? Can you play the DVD recorder through your receiver? When you set the DVD recorder up to record are you setting the correct input channel on the DVD recorder? This would be the...

Thanks BMXTRIX-I think this is the answer to my May 27 sound problem Thanks for helping me with another problem. When I used the Pre Out on the receiver, the sound level was too low. See my posting on May 27, What Happened to the Sound.

I would like to convert some of the songs on my LPs to computer files in order to put them on CD. I am using the INPORT analog to digital converter, and I am able to create the files just fine, but the input volume is very low even when set at maximum. The LPs are very old, early stereo...
