Ok, Today at work we plugged the HMZ american version 110v into a 220v outlet and it worked, the sony technician opened up the black box and he told us that it would work, i even did a video while i was pluggin from 220 v outlet and 110v and the HMZ is still alive and kickin'!!!

Power DVD 12 - probably the best with nice 3d depth support. Pity no ISO support...

Hi

There is a very simple workaround in order to play ISOS in PowerDVD

Download this very nice little program (free) install, mount the ISO in any of the virtual drives, and PowerDVD will open and play the ISO

yes, I know - thanks but for some reason it's not playing 3D ISOs. I was trying to mount my ISO (my back-up of my Blu Ray Avatar 3D) - no chance "unsupported format". Just for curiosity - burned it on Blu Ray disk at it was working fine.

Thanks for the info! Local Sony center people assured that it wouldn't work, and that it's useless to take it to holidays... Mine is the euroversion designed for 230V, so would be nice if someone manages to test that on a 110V too (in case the euro and US versions are actually different).

from the top of the box u should be able to see the capacitor(google it if u don't know how it looks like) it should be 450v, in that case it's should work, it's not the firts time Sony does this, to write on the box that it's multy voltage they should get special permissions and it costs money so they did the same box for all the regions but of course they had to write it's eather 110v or 220v... Don't worry, it will work!!!

They might have told you that for 2 reasons.
1) maybe they DO need to cut through some red tape to call it a multi voltage unit
2) even more likely, they realise that some parts of the world are having much more difficulty fulfilling demand for it and they're telling folks that to discourage international/intercontinental gray market trade.

My Onkyo receiver plays the audio portion of an HDMI signal then sends the signal on to an HDMI input of my 3dtv, so I think I will be able to use my hifi system, if I just reconnect the HDMI output that now goes to my tv to the Sony headset instead. But how about that step where you "remove or disable the built in headphones"? How easy or hard is that?

I have the Onkyo 609 . Go into the setup menu , select Hardware setup , then HDMI and you will see Audio tv out , turn this off or on as required.
Hope this helps

Are there any more PC games with build in 3D (can play without 3D Vision drivers)? Found only Trine 2 and Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

kuhne, this is a perfect device no matter if you are using 2D or 3D content.
quality is perfect and the problem is only with comfort fit - but that is solvable.

what i can recommend.. let's say u want to play a 3D game and watch 2D movie.
first watch the movie and then play.. 2D first, 3D second. once you see 3D and then you go back to 2D it feels.. "weird".

imho.

Well mine's on order from Sony uk should be here end of next week if all goes well.
Can't wait to try it, I have bought loads of new bluray's 2d and 3d.
Tried Tin Tin and Transformers DotM on my Optoma HD33 and they look great.

Has anyone tried half sbs files on the hmz t1, how good do they look, are they sharp and colourfull.

Regards

The screens output 720P images. The box converts several input signals. The HMZ-T1 Specs listed on the manual have been posted on this thread in the past.

Supported HDMI input and output signals:

Video input (2D formats):
480/60p, 576/50p, 720/24p, 720/ 50p, 720/60p, 1080/50i, 1080/60i, 1080/24p, 1080/50p, 1080/60p

Video input (3D: Frame Packing, Side- by-Side and Top-and-Bottom formats):
720/50p, 720/60p, 1080/50i, 1080/60i, 1080/24p

yeah, my PC can scale 1080 down to 720, but its not working good. The refresh rate drops down to 24 Hz which makes everything look laggy. Could depend on graphics card I guess but I have a geforce 580..

100% seems to be over the top but it's individual of course. the performance improved with much better 3d handling after I've updated to the latest certified NVIDIA driver. I use HMZ with Toshiba Qosmio laptop with the latest I7 and GPU Nvidia 560M. This laptop has full HD and screen with 3D support via active Nvidia glasses. HMZ looks better but some old games which look very good with active glasses will not output the required resolution for HMZ and you can only play in 2D. E.g. Unreal Tournament.

I have a question, I am pretty new to this whole 3D thing and I don't own anything related to 3D but I ordered my HMZ a few days ago and I thought it was going to connect without any problems to my whole setup but I just found out my reciever (a pioneer VSX-1019AH) doesn't support 1.4 HDMI or something like that, so it doesn't support full 3D or something. I planned to connect my HMZ to the reciever because I have so many devices that can output in 3D (PS3, DirecTV, Sky, HTPC) that it would be a pain to have to connect each one to the HMZ everytime I want to switch sources.

Is this what I am going to have to end up doing? or wont it matter with me since the HMZ doesn't output 1080p in the firstplace and 1.4 HDMI isn't required?

Hello

I own my HMZ-T1 since a few days and Maybe somebody else had this problem. I connected my HMZ to my PC and an Nvidia GT220 Graphic-Card and using the 3D Vision Kit to enable 3DTVPlay. Newest Driver. When playing 3DBlurays everything is fine but with the 2D ones there is a problem. Every few seconds the HMZ screens turn black for about 1or a few seconds, then movie comes back and a few seconds or half a minute later the same. But there is no message "no signal" on my HMZ.
When connecting my projector there is no problem watching 2D Movies.
Also when i connect the HMZ to my satelite-receiver everything is fine in 2D.
Only 2D Blurays and PC making problems.
Anybody can help?
Thank you!!
Sorry for my english,i'm from germany :-)

Install the latest NVIDIA driver. If you already have it - uninstall it COMPLETELY and then install from scratch. Helped me when I updated deriver without complete uninstall of the older deriver and then had problems with 2d and 3d on some occasions.

If you plan to watch 3D blu-rays, you're going to need a 1.4 receiver. For Side by Side or Top/Bottom content you won't (Cable/ or PC ).

As far as gaming, If it's side by side or top/bottom you're fine, but I'm pretty sure you'll need 1.4 to do 3D if it's frame packed.

I'd get a new receiver....

Crap, I feared that. Don't really Want to buy a new receiver just for the hmz so I guess I'll just connect it directly when I need to. Would it work through the receiver when I use directv?
