Vancouver, just curious, was the game you were attempting to view/play a 720p game? The reason I ask is that there aren't very many 720p games out there. The only one I own is X-Men Legends. If not, then it won't work from the xbox. The xbox will only send out the highest res available for the...

Yes a typo shoulda been 450 Hz.

I enjoyed the article. I've read elsewhere that an unbalanced connection is also succeptable to phase problems below 450mhz. There was never any metion of this in the artcicle. Is there any truth to this? I was also curious as to why a digital connection would not be considered a possible...

Because DirectV will be changing the way that it processes HDTV on its system (converting from a MPEG-2 to a MPEG-4 system), current HDTV receivers will become obsolete because of their inability to tune future DirecTV HD channels. So if you are in the market for one of these it might be a good...

I have the audio stand that matches that rack, a walmart special for 80 bucks You can't beat it for the money. Just a suggestion for your gaming room.. consider getting an area rug to tame the floor. I can't imagine the tile helping your acoustics any.

My first ever cd ever was Van Halen's Title Album

Sa-dvd Master Quality Music? Hodie is making available SA-DVD audio discs which are supposedly master quality. Price? $700 for 70 minutes or $900 for 140. :eek: Details here

I see, well then you are right, no need to worry where it is set then. Just curious while we are on the topic of YPAO, ..do the owners here prefer the YPAO settings over a manual adjustment? Is the equalization using YPAO applied moderatetly?

Maybe this guy is Yamahaluver's arch villain. :)

Thanks for sharing your experience with us. I'm always happy to hear of a company going a little above and beyond to make someone happy. Happy listening.

The problem I usually encounter with great deals such as these is that the sale is usually on products I would never consider purchasing. Though, I suppose at some price point your thinking has to begin to change.

Typically when you are balancing levels manually with a db meter and a setup disc you are supposed to set the volume of the mains to 75-80db. I don't know what the Yamaha manual recommends, but I'd turn it up to a level at which I would typically listen to movies before peforming the setup...

Trim controls are used to adjust and level the output of whatever channel/s your trimming. Since receivers generally have either individual trim controls for each channel or trim control for left/ight, surrounds, and rears you would use them to balance these levels. The volume control effects...

Price has been reduced.

Keep in mind that if you or your kids will be playing a lot video games or using this display as a computer monitor, then DLP is your best choice. Plasma, CRT and even LCD can be subject to burn in issues. If that's not how you will be using your tv I wouldn't worry much about it. Though, you'll...

You might be able to find a good quality player on ebay. Look for a professional grade SVHS unit. By the time you pay for having a bunch of tapes converted over you could easily pay for a pro unit and do it yourself. JVC is the inventor of VHS so I would start there, SONY's are good too...

Considering the markup is well over 100%, you can probably still do better. Read here for more info.

Try going to the mfgs. websites and looking at the rear panel photos. There are great photos of Denon receivers on www.crutchfield.com To the best of my knowlege only the 5805 has any type of DVI switching of either of these two brands, but I could be wrong.

You are on the right track, you'll need a either HDTV Tuner Set Top Box or satelitte/cable service that offers HD programming. Any set top tuner will work so long as your TV has the same type of connections that the tuner offers. With older TV such as yours you will probably be looking at a...
