Ok I'll get the MS Xbox cables...what about the DVI to HDMI cables? I see a bunch on ebay from $1 to $30 and then I look at radioshack.com and they are like $100!!! what gives? are the ebay ones really crappy quality or are the ones at radioshack just ridicuously overpriced?

i also just spoke to pac-2000.com online chat and they said they don't have any 575s in stock right now but more are coming.

you: Hello...I was wondering if you have the JVC HD-52Z575 TV in stock currently?
Pac-2000.com: no it is sold out. But we have more coming.
you: Oh ok...do you know when they are expected to be in stock?
Pac-2000.com: next week.
you: Oh ok. Well I will check back with you next week then. Are they backordered right now? if so, how many are waiting? Do you think, if I ordered one next week, it would be shipped next week?
Pac-2000.com: yes.
Pac-2000.com: we will have plenty.
you: good deal. Well I will check back next week then. Thanks!
Pac-2000.com: Thank you for chatting. Good-bye.

Its between them and BuyDig.com...a price difference of $60 (BuyDig.com being the more expensive of the two)

Hey jeremy, "I see a bunch on ebay from $1 to $30 and then I look at radioshack.com and they are like $100!!! what gives?"

radio shack has gone over to monster cables - much higer profit. Like I said they are overpriced snake oil.
What matters in cables is conductor size, connector quality and cable jacket. I buy my cables in a store so I can inspect them.

Jeremy-

I borrowed my friends $130 Monster DVI to HDMI cable that he got suckered into buying. I did not notice any difference in video quality when compared to my $20 Ebay cheapo. The Monster cable did have a fancy logo on it. Not sure if that is worth the $100+ difference in price.

For those interested, costco.com just dropped the price of the 52" to $2499.00. They credited me $180. Not bad. While you can find a lower price, costco has the best warranty/return policy included with membership.

Hi all....took the plunge and purchased the 52" JVC at Amazon.com for $2247 shipped. It should be here in about a week. I have a question for those that have the set:

I will be getting a HDMI equiped DVD player. I haven't received the HD cable box from Cox yet (san diego). If I hook the DVD player up to the TV with the HDMI cable, what connection should I use for the cable box???

Thanks in advance for your help

Phrogman - I also have Cox. Use component cables. Cox gave me a set of decent cables with my HD box. I also had Cox amplify my signal - it made a big difference in analog and digital stations.

Mr Lynch- "The Monster cable did have a fancy logo on it. Not sure if that is worth the $100+ difference in price. "
Don't get me started, LOL. monster must think the logo is worth the $100+ profit. They must be laughing all the way to the bank. Does monster believe if you can take advantage of someone, you must?

Do you guys have high quality component cables or could I get a cheaper set (around $30) of those off ebay or somewhere else too?

I also asked earlier and don't think anyone responded (and if they did, I just don't see it), what does Comcast have to do to "install my HD service" ? I thought they would just have to plug in the box to the TV and call it good. What is so hard to do that I have to pay $16.50 for them to install??

Mr. Lynch
Can you answer this question?
When using the HDMI cable from the receiver to the 585 is there going to be sound or not from the tv speakers? JVC says there will but I have none. The tech rep had to send this question up the chain to get an answer but have not heard back from them.
Thanks

jIM-

Some of the early JVC models (including my August build) had an issue with the HDMI not getting sound. I've heard there was a firmware fix, and I've also heard that the HMDI board needs to be replaced. I use a reciever, so I haven't made it a priority to get it fixed.

Does your Direct TV box have HDMI output? If you are using a DVI to HDMI cable you will get no sound. DVI outputs are video only.
If it is an HDMI output, here are a few things you should check:
On the D-TV box, set the audio output to PCM.
On the JVC, go into the user menu and set the "digital-in audio" input to "digital".

Also check and make sure the "mute" is not on, the speakers aren't turned off, and the volume is up. I don't mean to sound sarcastic, but there have been a few times I got no sound and after checking my connections I realized that I had hit the "mute" button on my reciever. D'Oh!

Mr Lynch, do you think I'd be better served getting an HDMI cable for my cable box instead of running component? The box upconverts, not sure how much improvement I'd get (is it worth the $20?). DVD upconverts over component, so I will stick with that the way it is for now.

I tried my cable box (HD STB) using my DVI-HDMI cable. I did not notice any difference. I thought the HDMI helped out my DVD player more than the cable box.

I know many people that use up the 2 component inputs with a game system and a DVD player, and that leaves no input left for the HD STB. Since most HD STBs have DVI out, it is a good option people don't usually think about. Much better than cable swapping.

I purchased my DVI-HDMI cable from RAM electronics for $30 (http://www.ramelectronics.net/html/DVI-hdmi_cables.html). I also got a great component cable from them as well (These are the thickest cables I have ever seen, for whatever thickness is worth).

Incidently, to work better with the compulink feature of my JVC receiver, I switched back to component input from my Comcast DVR and didn't notice any drop in video quality.

Guys,

I dropped by HHGregg on the way home from work (local chain that carries the 585s) to visit my set (which should arrive next week), and they had Star Wars ep. 6 playing on the set. I thought to myself, I hope it's available on Comcast next week when I'm all set up, 'cause this looks AMAZING... then I looked down and discovered it was a DVD!

I was totally convinced I was watching a HI-DEF feed.

Is this the kind of quality I have to look forward to?

I nearly it-shayed my pants it looked so good!

Mr. Sparks

Thanks for the tip that Costco dropped the price. I know Best Buy says they'll match anyones price + 10% of the difference. I noticed you mentioned that Costco is the best place to buy because of the warranty/return policy included with membership. I read on their site you can return for any reason if you are dissatisfied, but couldn't find anything about warranty. Can you tell me a little more about the warranty part you were referring to. I have a couple of these Costco's local to me.

Thanks.

The fine print from Costco's JVC ad description...read carefully.

This item is covered by Costco's guarantee to refund your purchase price if you are not completely satisfied. Costco's guarantee applies, even though this item may not be covered by the manufacturer's warranty, because Costco is not an "authorized" dealer of the merchandise.

Probably don't want to but from an unauthorized dealer.

Scott:

I have the JVC XV-N412S DVD Player. It is component output only. I am very happy with the quality, but quite frankly I find myself most watching COMCAST digital and HDTV -- I have the dual turner DVR. Probably will watch more DVDs in the summer.

Compulink, with the DVD, has been disappointing. The plus side is the TV turns on with the receiver and off with the receiver (DVD player too). The down side is that TV switches to Video input 1 for both TV and DVD (my receiver is a few years old and may assume they are both composite video through the receiver).

At first, I had the DVR connected to the JVC with the DVI->HDMI cable. This meant that everytime I turned everything on, Compulink would switch to V1 -- so I would manually have to switch to digital in. On the plus side, if you put a DVD in the player -- the receiver and TV would both power-up and switch to V1 for the component DVD. The receiver would also automatically switch to DVD audio in. However, like I said, I watch more TV than DVDs, so I switched to component from the DVR -> TV, so that TV power-up is now at the correct input (V1). Of course, when I watch a DVD, I now have to switch to V2.

A new JVC Amp may yield different results, but I don't think the wife is going to let me go that route to avoid a single remote button push (sigh).

Even with non-progressive scan DVD players (like an Xbox) movies look very impressive on the JVC. All the movies you listed are great choices, and I'd also recommend "The 5th Element" superbit. It looks incredible. The pod race from episode 1 is also a great showoff piece.

J Papa - Yes, I'm aware of the fine print, but I'm not concerned. I've been shopping costco for many years. Costco has been the easiest company I've ever had to deal with. They just gave me a $180 credit because the JVC price dropped. They will accept a return on anything, other than computers, for the life of your membership. All you have to do is keep your receipt. If my set breaks in June of 2007, I can return it for a full refund, including shipping. I consider that the best warranty for immature electronic products, including all these new fangled TV's.

I forget where I got this info, but, even though costco is not an authorized JVC dealer, the JVC warranty is good. You can double-check that directly with JVC, before you buy. Top that with the most generous return policy anywhere.

On the other hand, you can buy the set cheaper, if you don't include the price of extended warranty.

If a saleman says you need an extended warranty, is'nt he suggesting that there is something wrong in the lasting quality of an item.

I like the peace of mind, knowing I can unload this thing if it breaks. I personally, don't want to deal with manufacturer's, technicians or online companies that will never talk to you after the sale.

just my opionion

I am trying to connect a HTPC via Transcoder/Component Cables for playing DVDs, music and video files and I am have some difficulty setting the timings properly.

Has anyone else already done this, and if so do you happen to remember your Power Strip timing settings. I have found some guides on the web, but so far they haven't been a great deal of help.

Mr. Sparks, So their return policy (Costco's) is your extended warranty you didn't have to pay for?
I have my eye on the new HD-52G886/786, if I can control myself that long. Hopefully Costco will stock those and give me another option for my purchase.

You never know what they will stock. I just got lucky that they stocked the 52". Keep an eye on costco.com, under Electronics/TV/DLP.
http://www.costco.com/Common/Category.aspx?whse=BC&topnav=&cat=4848&hierPath=79*&Browse=

Will the HD-52G886/786 have a better picture, or is it just the addition of a tuner that's added?

If it's just a tuner, do you want to wait to spend more money for that?

Ok so the other thing I need is a new DVD player because mine is 6 years old and does not have progressive scan. Here are the features I would like to have in a DVD player (in order of importance):

-progressive scan
-ability to play DVD+R/RW
-ability to play DVD-R/RW
-multiple disc changer.

I would really like to find a quality reliable one for as close to $100 as possible. With the changer option, that might not be possible but I thought I would throw it out there.

Any suggestions?

a magazine called "The Perfect Vision" just did a huge review on DVD players from $30, all the way up to $20,000. They have recomendations for every price range. If you can't find the magazine locally, you can download from their website. www.theperfectvision.com

I do remember that for under $100, they really liked the Toshiba SD-3960 ($60). The Toshiba SD-5915 is the 5 disc version of the 3960 and can be found for well under $100.

No, Definitely not just the tuner, I could use the tuner in the Dish STB... which I don't have yet, but will be getting soon. I just finished some remodeling and rec'd new furniture on Tues. and will be receiving my new a/v furniture tomorrow (TV stand, speaker stands & shelf for center channel).

Then I can set up my new receiver & speakers that have been in boxes for a while. Will also be ordering new cables (don't want to get anyone started) :-)

Cobalt to go with some Audio Quest I already have. BTW, I hate Monster crap! So, to say the least I have a lot of new stuff to play with. :-)

I figured a few more months and I can see what all the mfgs. put in the stores.

Better Picture??? Well only time will tell, but from what I've read here and other forums there will be some new electronics. We'll see about PQ...

I have been looking at all the technologies for almost a year, spending many hours reading and viewing in stores under different settings. I was just about ready to go with the Mits. 52725... When after nearly 15 hours of viewing DLP's there they were!! Rainbows! What the hell!!??!!
So, it's JVC for me. I think? :-)

Mr Lynch(probably) I recently returned a 50" and a 61"Samsung rear proj.tv's as being unreliable & too expensive maintenancewise for my budget(3 lamps in 10 months).Most threads are full of criticism of most makes for the same reason.I love the big pictures on these units,& keen to return to one if & when the light scource problem is resolved.Your JVC bloggers seem more concerned with cables & game results than faulty lamps.Please, does this mean that JVC RPTV has not been around long enough,or have they solved the worrying & expensive 8.3months(average lamplife)difficulties of other manufacturers. (I note that you yourself have already had an early lamp failure)Please advise on this. George gw.golding@optusnet.com.au

So basically you're saying you can return the set anytime for any reason pretty much for life. If thats true then count me in. So if you need a repair do you just return the set or how does that work if you have no warranty after the manufacturers warranty expires.

J Papa - If my set breaks I will probably just drive to costco and return it, then grab another set, until they can deliver another JVC, or whatever is the best at the moment. Fortunate these things are not heavy and I have a truck.

I really like this JVC, so maybe for a quick minor repair, I'd call JVC for in-home warranty service. If you'd want to use the JVC warranty I'd suggest you double-check me and call JVC yourself or email them about honoring the warranty from a non-authorized dealer. I remember that they will honor it, but my memory is far from perfect.

I looked at the JVC warranty and it does not say anything about not honoring the warranty if bought from an unauthorized dealer. What is an unauthorized dealer anyway? A company that can not repair it? The warranty also mentions that for warranty service you are to return it to a JVD authorzed service center, unless it qualifies for in-home service.

On the other hand many on this forum have had techs come to their home to do a repair, which may be easier than a return, depending on how long the repair takes.

Once the manufactureres warranty expires, you can still return the unit if it breaks.

I had a digital camera go bad after 2 years. The costco by my house has very friendly return people. It took all of a few minutes to complete the return.

Bottom line is I have never dealt with a manufacturer with anything I've bought from costco. If something breaks I have the receipt and box and just bring it back.

Should'nt a $3000 item last more than a few years? If it breaks why not return it?

This is not for everyone, it's just how I like to deal with faulty electronics.

I believe that JVC's warranty refers to anything over 32" qualifying for in-home repair. 32" and under you have to take it in.

i'm having trouble w/ the analog TV thing...

Last night we were watching Survivor (unfortunately not in HD, although the Comcast guy should be at my place any time now to install it - but even then, Comcast is not carrying our local CBS affiliate in HD so it wouldn't matter anyway *sigh* so many HD channels and we have so few) and it looked really really bad. Other channels looked OK, so I don't know if its just that channel that I keep having problems with or what but I fooled around w/ all the color settings and couldn't get anything to look good. It was like, when someone moved, there was a shadow left behind and the skin tones looked like someone had some crazy visual effects going on. Am I just screwed and have to watch this until we get it in HD or is there a special setting I should mess with to fix it?

I tried Mr. Lynch's settings but it didn't help much. Any advice?

Comcast just recently worked out a deal with Cox to provide CBS. Are you sure it isn't avaiable in your area? I got CBS 3 weeks ago but Comcast still does not list it. They also don't list Discovery HD, but we get that too.

Some shows just look bad on Digital TVs in SD. Not much you can do to fix a poor broadcast.

I was afraid that would be the answer...I ended up turning it on in another bedroom on a regular old tube TV and the picture was more detailed but there were horizontal lines thru it and it was pretty snowy/static-y. So I assumed that might be part of the problem.

Mr. Lynch, I will be SO happy if I get home today and the HD is hooked up and we have CBS but I don't think that is going to happen because I ended up emailing the comcast customer care people about not having CBS, PBS, or Fox in our area and she said they don't have an agreement worked out w/ any of them yet.

But I'm sure we all know how knowledgeable some customer service people can be...not very. So I'll hold out hope...

You might want to check you cable connection. There are times when I am forced to watch SD (Star Trek and SciFi channel -- you can see what I am into). I find the JVC actually does a pretty good job with the picture, considering what it has to work with.

I have a cable amplifier that is also a four-way splitter (Radio Shack). This helps preserve the signal as it gets split off to 3 TVs and the cable modem.

When Comcast comes out to your house for the HD, have them check the cable sigal strength -- that could be your problem.

Long story, but I returned the TV to Sears....... I am still getting one, but I think I am going to Pac2000. Has anyone here NOT been happy with Pac2000?
BTW, with VISA, they automatically double the manufacturers warranty if you use your Visa at no additional cost. All you have to do is register it with them after the purchase and hold on to all receipts.
Also, my local SAM's club is selling DVI and HDMI cables for under $20....FYI.

Any feedback on Pac2000 is appreciated.
