    RCA DTC-210 Horizontal Line Sync Problem

    No doubt the RCA receiver matched with an RCA HD TV produces an "awesome" picture. I solved the problem discussed above by purchasing a Sony HD300 to sync with my Grand Vega, rear-projection, Sony KDF-50WE655. The pair work beautifully together. The HD picture is now equal or better than...

    RCA DTC-210 Horizontal Line Sync Problem

    Thanks Thanks. I now understand the issue better. I guess my solution is to locate a Sony HD300 or wait until Sony brings out their first Blu-ray model. Anyone have information on what Sony might be up to regarding HD receiver/tuners?

    Rca Dtc 210

    Great Deal: RCA available for $287.90! Noremac wrote, "Many of us have SD VCRs or modulated house-distribution that we would like to continue using (at the same time as watching HD on the main set)." Yes, and we also had sealed-wall wiring from nearly 10 years ago when DirecTV first...

    1080i to 720p? Yes, this so-called "fix" seems to eliminate the pixel shift problem (horizontal line sync), but with my newer rear projection Sony 50WE655 the picture quality degradation is unacceptable. Maybe the fix is that now I can't see it because the image is less crisp. I paid for high...

    RCA 210 or Sony 300 or Samsung 360

    RCA210 Problems DirecTV provided the RCA210 when I upgraded to HDTV. In HD mode, there is a timing issue which shows up as a one pixel shift on a horizontal line 50/50 on the screen. The distortion is annoying. DirecTV refused to send me the SONY HD300 unit, but will be receiving the Samsung...

    RCA DTC-210 Horizontal Line Sync Problem

    Am Having the Same Problem As a ten year customer of DirecTV, the company did me the favor of sending out the RCA DTC210 'junk in a box'. My analysis (performed during a tennis match in HD) indicates that the top right quad is shifted toward the center by one pixel and the top left quad is...
