pics(from crutchfield but its the same as mine)


just wanted to tell everyone.

SWEET ...congrats

how do i tell if my tv can do progressive scan? it does have the componet red green and blue plugs in the back.

read the manual

dont read the manual till all else has failed... Actually the manual has the same use as the padding in the box..

i did read the manual and it didnt help.

Unless you bought an HDTV (4 years ago 2500 or more) (now 600 or more) you'd know it.

nope didnt do that.but i use the *-video for just about all my videos stuff and its a good enought for me picture quality. but how much better is the component over *-video?

The TV manual will say if it supports progressive scan. But if you don't have it, component video will still give you a nice picture.

I got a Samsung DVD player and I had to return it because I accidentally set it up as using a higher video quality than I really was, so I couldn't change the setting back since I had no video. It'* a long story....big PITA.

Use the components; but don't spend $50 or more for the cable set. I got a GE set from Target for less than $30 and the picture is great. Also, if you TV has a simulated 16x9 mode you want to set your DVD player video output format to 16x9 (widescreen). Some TV'* will take the "wider" image, and compress it down to letterbox format, the advantage is (with tv'* that support the simulated mode) you get more lines of resolution being compressed and as a result a better picture. My TV (JVC) has this mode, and I know some Sony'* do as well.
