Blu Ray Technology

Posts Tagged ‘HDMI’

I just picked up a sony hdtv and will get a blu ray player to acheive 1080p. My Denon 3803 doesn’t have an hdmi jack. Do I need to replace it (like the best buy guy said) for best results or will running hdmi to the tv and using the audio outputs from the tv to the denon work ok? Would there be a time lag?

hooked up. What setting should I choose to make us have the best picture while using the blu-ray?

if the disc is dolby digital it plays sound no problem, but if its dts nothing. is there a different player software anyone recommends or perhaps a software patch i can download?

Blu-ray player connected to Onkyo receiver (Dolby true hd).

My tv is a samsung ln52a750. My computer is a Dell studio xps 16 with a 512 mb video card and a native resolution of ( I believe ) Of 1366×768. So just wondering what toorder to get the best picturepossible. Also the laptop can play blu Ray even tho not at full resolution but will they still look ok?

i have a Sharp Dolby Digital 1080i HD TV. i also have a 60G PS3 and i want to watch the Dark Knight on Blu-ray. i went out to Best Buy for an HDMi cable and there was some ranging from 80$ to 15$. is there a difference between them. do the cheaper ones have lesser quality video or audio?

I have a 22″ Samsung LCD with sony blueray player in my desktop. I would like to Get a bigger screen. Would using a lcd tv (1080p) as a computer monitor have any downfalls with this card.
I did google it and thats why I came here.

So, I am selling my old dvd player on craigslist because I have a ps3 which is the best blu ray player, so anyways, I see that the dvd player has both HDMI and Optical, are you supposed to use both the HDMI & Optical in tandem, just like the ps3 does? Or can you just use the HDMI & forget about the optical? Can you use optical and the old A/V ports and forget about HDMI? Is there better video/sound quality if you use the Optical and HDMI together?

The whole HDMI business is a nightmare with newer TV’s, blu-ray players, and receivers all trying to do something to the signal along the way. Particularly in the case of the PS3 which is the best blu-ray player and outputs 1080p/24 amazingly well, such that I wouldn’t want some stupid receiver to mess with that video signal at all. However, the HD Cable box only outputs 1080i so it would be fine to “upscale” that video input. I’ve read manuals from various Onkyo receivers, and it seems like the only option is the output resolution of the HDMI output itself, which overrides any other setting. For example, you can set the output to 1080p, 1080i, etc., or PASS THROUGH, but not a unique output for a particular interface (input). Please help!
PLEASE READ, PEOPLE! *Important part of this question is: upscale ONE input, but NOT another (pass through)
