Hello all;

I am a novice that has been following this forum for some time now and am looking for advice in setting up my A/V room. I have been very impressed with the breadth and depth of knowledge of the forum participants. I must admit though, at times I am left a bit confused and overwhelmed as I try to make my configuration/purchase decisions. So with that, I've decided to ask your help with a couple specific questions.

My setup -- I currently have a Panasonic TH-58PZ750 display and a DirecTV HD20 DVR, with an Onkyo TX-NR905 receiver on order. Also, I hope to pick-up either a BluRay or HDDVD player shortly.

My questions are these;

1) What would you suggest for the BR or HDDVD player? I'm interested in purchasing the latest technology/format that is compatible with the 58PZ750 - which I believe is limited to 60fps.

2) As I watch a great deal of DirecTV HD content; will the HQV Reon processor in the 905 be sufficient or should I add a dedicated VP....and if so, which is recommended?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Mike

Try it alone first with no VP and if you like it then stick with it.
Sometimes a scaler can make or break a good picture so if the picture is good then why mess with it.
