firebird2k said:You've got to be kidding me.. They won't output HD signal via component cable? the 811 output 720P over component fine and the higher end 921 won't output 720p over component cable! That's absolutely absurd and stupid of them to do that...
Sorry think I was being confusing!. THe composite and DVI output on the 921 will only output HD signals. So for an example. I also have VOOM. With Vooms reciever. I only have to have my DVI hooked to my tv. The Voom will output native (what the signal is 480-780-1081) to my Tv and my Wega tv upconverts the signal or plays true HD if that is what signal is.
With the 921 I have to hook up the RCA video output jacks to TV (actually thru my Onkyo THX Reciever) and either my DVI or Component cables to tv, (another major flaw is you can only pick one from DVI or Component cables) and when I watch HD shows, I have to put Wega tv into DVI or COmponent Mode and push HD/SD 921 button to put 921 into HD mode. Then if I switch to a standard SD channel (screen go's Blank) until I toggle HD/SD to SD mode for 921 Reciever and put my tv into RCA jack video mode.
The only lucky thing is I was able to program Tv remote codes into 921 remote. so toggle is a not quite as much as a pain.
In comparison. with Voom all I have to do is change channels on remote and never loose picture without having to touch a button!
What I dont understand is the remote on the 921 has the HD/SD button. My guess is that this should probably downconvert HD to sd so you would not have to toggle as much. Waste of a function button!
