I cannot get sound through on my Philips HD LCD TV from my Sony DVD HDMI player pls help?
[2007-09-07 08:54:16]

Q: The tv has a DVI connection and the dvd player has HDMI so I first had to purchase a converter connection. I also have to have rca cables L/R out to back of TV Input to get sound.
Once all setup I can get picture on a DVD through by pressing the av button on tv remote and selecting HD, but there is no sound. If I press av again and select av/s-vhs I get the sound for the DVD but no picture. Does anyone have any ideas please?

A: possible that you have the rca in the tv in the audio output instead of input!!!!.

panasonic vs sony HDMI dvd player?
[2008-03-30 16:12:49]

I have purchased a panasonic S53 HDMI dvd player recently. I am planning to buy a sony bravia TV in future. Does my panasonic dvd supports sony HDMi TV set properly or do i need to buy a sony hdmi dvd player? In case, i use panasonic dvd with the sony HDMi tv, does this impact the quality?


You can buy ANY brand. You do NOT need to buy a new player. Your choice of TV is excellent, theyre have great PQ and good reliability. but there isn't much of a difference between quality of a sony dvd player vs. a pioneer or a phillips. In fact most dvd players are built out of only a few factories and are "rebranded" for the mfgr. Your thought about keeping with the same brand is unnecessary, but some tv/dvd combinations will allow the devices to "talk to each other", but these are usually useless frills. For best quality for the cheapest price consider Look at Oppo, for high end and Samsung, phillips for best value for the dollar. Dont buy expensive hdmi cables, but do buy good decent ones, the hdmi interface is electricly a great choice, but physically they are illconcieved. My favorites are from monoprice.com.

SD 280: a simple but useful DVD player from Toshiba

You probably don’t like being hassled by too many functions crammed into a small box. Honestly, that annoys me sometimes too. So I searched for a player that would be useful but not complex, something that would just serve its purpose.

Fortunately the search was not long. I chanced upon one of Toshiba’s DVD players, which has been christened SD280EKTB. It was exactly what I had in mind, simple, handy, decent looking and affordable. The Toshiba SD280E is basically a DVD player that plays the whole gamut of media formats. It plays all kinds of CDs like Audio, DA, R and RW. In DVD it plays formats like video, (+/-) R, R DL, RW and ROM. You can also play Mp3 on it. If you have a video CD, don’t worry it plays that one too.

To make the picture viewing more enjoyable it adopts PAL progressive. It also has options of slow motion and variable zoom. It also has icon on-screen display.

In order to enhance the audio quality it applies 3D Virtual Surround Sound. It makes use of Dolby Digital and DTS technologies. Through the former it makes use of six totally independent channels of digital sound and through the latter it adopts a different system for encoding six channel digital surround sound. The final outcome is a treat for the audiophiles.

It comes fitted with five different kinds of connections including analogue 2 channel audio, co-axial audio, component video out put, composite video and Scart (RGB). The component video input connection delivers very high quality video images and is the best connection for DVD video pictures.

You may think that in today’s world there are so many other options available then why this. My answer would be in spite of all that such players from technology powerhouse like Toshiba still hold their ground.

The PS3 is also a modern update to the old family slide projector and home movie projector - it does a good job at importing snapshots and home videos from your digital camera and intuitively organizing and displaying them, all on your TV without having to haul out a roll-up screen.

On top of that, it not only plays music CDs, but also imports and stores their songs, like a computer. Pop the CD in once, let the PS3 copy its contents and spit it out, and you have it available forever.

Still another feature is being able to rent or buy TV shows and movies separately or in addition to Netflix.

Yet another is free audio chat and even video phone calls (with an optional camera attachment) with other PS3 users, so you can do Star Trek style big screen video phone calls with family far away, as long as they also have a PS3 and the PS Eye.

Still another is being able to surf the web, using a standard keyboard and mouse, or a special wireless one sold by Logitech.

You can only use HDMI is both the TV and the DVD player have ports for them. There are no coverters for S-video to HDMI. If the DVD player does have the port then you can get the cable at any major retailer websites, such as walmart.com or bestbuy.com. HDMI cables carry both audio and video so you only need one cable for the connection.
