AVR makers can implement various aspects of HDMI 2.0 and get away with calling it such. In this case the AVR can SCALE images to 4k/30fps from lower resolutions. It can also PASS THROUGH 4K/60fps (when something like that actually comes out! Cable hurry up). I believe this unit shares the...

Big sound!!! Just got a chance to here these at the Emotiva Room at T.H.E Show in Newport Beach yesterday. I was paying way more attention to the B&W speakers they were powering with the XSP-1, the new ERC-3 CD player, and four XPA-1L amps, but when the Emotiva Demonstrator turned on the...

NO SUB in STEREO MODE?? Nice review Cliff! I'd really love to see some Audioholics.com rated power spec's on this unit, since you all do that so well (read GENE GET ON IT!!) Question for you about the Subwoofer issue in Stereo Mode. Did you set the sub-woofer section to "LFE+MAIN"? If the...

@adam, The BDP-S780's player noise is considerably lower than the PS3. Based on my review I would say that the player is quieter than most of the "retail" blu-ray players available. I personally own last years BDP-S570 model, as well as a PS3, and I noticed that it seemed to be even quieter...

batpigwold.com EPIC WIN!!! @BoredSysAdmin... OMG that's fantastic!!!

@GoFastr Glad that the sub config works for you. And definitely fine-comb that manual... Always remember the following when dealing with a user manual... WRITTEN IN Japanese and sent to Malaysia for translation to ENGLISH. I think there was a movie about this... LOST IN TRANSLATION...

i just ran into this exact issue with the RED RING the other day. I believe that if the RED RING shows, the receiver is in "STANDBY" mode, and if the light is off, the receiver is off. I turned on the HDMI standby passthrough function on a client's model, and then the red light appeared on the...

GoFastr I'm a DENON CI certified integrator (2007-2011), if pressing the "AMP" and "MODE" buttons as recommended by highfigh doesn't work save your current system setting file via the network as described on pg. 60 of the manual... Follow the instructions on pg. 59 to get the network setting...

Loganmutt, Here's some more thoughts on what's going on. First a quick lesson on HDMI. There is a 5 volt lead in the HDMI cord, and if the voltage dips or gains even just a little bit (200mv I believe is the allowed drop/spike) you can get the pink screen, or the green screen, or the...

Had the Elite in our showroom for about three weeks now and... I've had the 60" Elite on my showroom floor for about three weeks now (apparently we were the first to get it in the LA area). First and foremost I'm an ELITE lover, and I recommend Plasma TVs to as many people as possible with...

AMAZING THEATER. Poor Responses... To the Owner of this Theater complex, CONGRATULATIONS on having one of the finest "home theaters" in the world. Truly amazing choice of equipment, and decorations (whether people like them or not, cuz there are always HATERS out there, i.e. you all you...

From the Sellers end... AMEN TOM! I could not agree any with anyone anymore than I do with you on your article. As an A/V systems designer, I'm responsible for portraying the correct information to the buyer/end user. Personally I use manufacturers websites on a daily basis to compare...

3D is for WE (and the PS3 too!) At CES this year I got a chance to play the new version of ASTEROIDS in 3D. I think I remember the SONY rep. at that demo booth telling me that this game was going to be available as a download and you didn't even have to worry about going out to of the house to...

Why do we even care about a study that was performed on sets from three product generations ago?? SONY XBR4, are you kidding me? XBR 9 is out now! Similar trim XBR models were the XBR2, XBR4, XBR6, and now XR9. XBR4 is WAY OLD news!! And seriously, comparing those models to the Panasonic...

ProLogicIIz Explained a bit. Dolby ProLogicIIz matrixes info off of the sound track and sends it to a set of "High" channels. It's really nothing more than an extension (height-wise) of your front L/R channels. THX already has a spec. out for these pressence/height speakers (whatever you...

Denon For me Please... I'll take the upcoming new Denon AVR-1910 over the Yamaha RX-V665 any day. Same price point, same stated power (90 watts, but its a Denon, so you know...), and it's a DENON.

Simply Fantastic... So I've seen Dark Knight twice now. Opening day was just fantastic. There was an energy in the air that I haven't been witness to since the Matrix movies. Just arriving at the megaplex (20 screens), and seeing a fully packed parking lot gave me an idea that this film...

If the Denon 3800 is out of the question, then your best bets are either going to be the upcoming Pioneer Elite unit with 7.1 multi-channel output, or the upcoming Sony PDB-s550 which will also include this feature. You will get all the necessary internal decoding for every music format...

Finally, an entry level Blu-Ray worth having... Well it's taken a while, but it looks like HT owners will finally be able to get a solid stand alone Blu-Ray player without having to break the bank. Props to Sony for getting it right with their 3rd generation player. Can't wait to see one...

Children's Fashion Couture Vs. Big Box Store Cables This story has been fascinating. For those of us that have been following Monster Cable's exploits for the past few years, I think I can take the liberty of calling their latest bit of antics "entertaining." Monster Cable, you're taking on...
