I dont know of any movie that puts out 7.1 pcm. I think there are some 6.1 ones but honestly I dont know. Theoretically it should work. I have not tried 1080p trough hdmi since my hddvd player only puts out 1080I. I have that working...

Jay, lets see if I can anwser some of your questions: 1. I use both hdmi inputs ( HDTIVO on one and Toshiba hda1 on the other) going to a Ruby front projector. Works great, never had a single issue. It transfers all supported...

I have the Marantz 9600. It has two direct modes: Source direct and pure direct. For 2ch music I use source direct ( through hdmi) and there is a definite improvement in the sound. Pure direct justs turns off all digital activity...

The Pearl won't have the same perfomance as the Ruby. Sometime back one of our european members posted that they had a discussion with a Sony projector big wig. The prognosis was that the Pearl will not have the same perfomance as the...

I have a 50ft monoprice hdmi cable. ( hd-a1 and td-tivo to receiver with 6 ft hdmi cables and receiver to ruby with 50ft hdmi cable) It works fine at 1080i and its inexpensive. Sandy

Specs aside the hi power still has plenty of gain even ceiling mounted. I have a Ruby with a 120" hi power at a 20' throw mounted even with the top of the screen and it is plenty bright. The eyes are non linear. If I stand up from...
