    Purpose of the Multi splitter?

    Yep, we did the autoconvergence on the RCA as well, although I think we did while it was hooked up through the "component" hookup. I'll have him do another one since we have connected the DVI cable.........., thanks:up

    Purpose of the Multi splitter?

    That's what I thought as well.

    D* Retention - valid phone number?!?

    I've tried that number recently and it does not work in my area (Phila, Pa). I've been using this number 888-355-7530 (C.I.S. = Customer Installation Service). It takes me right to the people that handles upgrades/installation and dates:up :up

    Philly DMA and H20

    I'm also in the Philly area and noticed this same problem again this morning. I usually don't watch the local "HD" channels unless it's a network program in full HD, but I have noticed with the local channels the audio is off just enough to notice and make it annoying.:confused: :confused:

    Ctec 2006

    Unfortunately, I had to leave 30 minutes into the hour long presentation. I was disappointed in the fact that it was a PowerPoint presentation, I was expecting a true demonstration of the actual players side by side. The presetation was pretty standard (what I saw of it) on the specifications...
