QUOTE(RAMChYLD @ Jan 12 2010, 09:28 AM) Problem with B.yond at this moment is that they don't allow you to select anything but 576i through component and composite. They should at least allow progressive through component. Why would they allow progressive when there is not need for it? All Astro SD programs are in SD 576i. you won't get a better PQ with 576p since the source is 576i.My features wish list: - 60Hz pull-up (because many pre-2006 early HDTVs, cheapo LCD monitors and TVs bought from US/Japan only support 60Hz HD). - 576p (EDTV) through component. However using component instead of composite will definitely give you better PQ since it eliminates most of the flicker present when using composite. As for your first wish...buy a new TV lah...cheapo only la nowadays. |

QUOTE(dsubra @ Jan 12 2010, 03:25 PM) I can't get sound through TV from HD channels (SD channels ok) when opt for DD5.1 , is it normal? Sound only through my AVR theatre system Yes, this is normal. When box is set as DD 5.1. HD Channels with DD audio, the TV won't be able to decode the audio signal sent to it by the box. hence the avr will decode and output the sound.and also not in 'discreet' 5.1 (not as DVD) i.e HBO HD, you guys have such problem?  Can you describe more on what do you mean by discrete? b.yond box sends out 6 channels dolby digital encoded audio hence it's discrete enough i think. Thanks! Shaik |

QUOTE(smileguy @ Jan 12 2010, 04:30 PM) My version. If I set Beyond to 5.1 my AVR switches off from Prologic DTS to Normal but when I do not set to 5.1 on beyand it reads Prologic DTS signal ! I wonder what explaination can u guys give .To me I wld say its a screwed compressed no standard HD box and service ! Prologic is not a true 5.1...do you know that? I'm not sure what is your AVR settings like but for me... If I set Auto surround If stereo: It'll be stereo If DD 5.1: It'll show DD 5.1 If I set Dolby Cimena Surround If Stereo: IT'll show as Dolby Prologic If DD 5.1: It'll show as DD Prologic Please set your AVR to auto surround or take the sounds directly without any processing. Then check from there if the audio signal coming from the coax is stereo of DD. Don;t use any sound processing to enhance the sound. |
