When I exit the menu via pressing the Main Menu button it reverts back to the Norm mode.

Also (this probably is a stupid question) can I get away with shutting the fan off altogether? Temp seems ot be running about 41 C with fan on.

I have the pioneer elite 1130hd and am having a strange problem where i cannot power the display on after the display has been off for awhile. The status light is red on the display. The only way i can turn on the display is to unplug the media receiver or sometimes use the Standby button on the MR. But the remote control will not trigger the display to turn. And i am trying two remotes so it is not the remotes fault. FYI the blue light on the MR blinks 5 times in a row when the problem is happening. Could this be an error code or something? The manual is of no help. Anyone????

EDIT - sorry, reading backwards to catchup on this thread - been offline for a while. Sounds like it has already been verified. I hope to be getting a Pio Blu-ray player soon, and will post results with my 1130. This is really exciting, and makes me feel much better about the 6gs. Even though it can't do 1080p, the 24 support should eliminate judder as Jediphish pointed out. I can live with some down rezzing to get that stability; I've seen it in action on the 1080p panel and it was nothing short of incredible.

Not sure I can address all of this, but the scaler in the panel is excellent. Many people think that sending native resolution of a SD-DVD (480i) to the Pio is the way to go as the scaling in the panel is better than most DVD players. I know one of the Oppos can output 480i - not sure which one, but you should find info here in this thread about it.

Nemo - does your E79 have and an SR+ connection? Does it do 480i over HDMI or just component?

Yes on the SR+ connection, but I don't use it. And yes, it does do 480i over HDMI. Really a good transport if you can get a deal......

I had a dream last night (which was as far from reality as most of my dreams) in which I was watching a movie on my Elite 1130. Let's say it was the crash scene just after the opening space battle in Revenge of the Sith, even though it wasn't, because that's all I can compare it to.

Anyway, in the scenes there are contrails all over the sky, sort of converging towards the center of the screen (towards the viewer). I pulled out a pocket knife and decided to "enhance" the sharpness of the contrails (which were still-frame by now?) by giving each one a distinctive outline.

A little while later, while watching another show, I realized that I had actually cut through the glass of the panel, so that when I watched a regular movie, light shot out each of the hundreds of cuts I'd made in the glass (sort of like the light effect when Han Solo emerged from carbonite). Man, was I upset that I had ruined such a prized possession. It wasn't long after that that I started thinking, "oh well, guess I'll just have to get an 1140."

I was pretty happy when I woke up and realized it was all just a dream. Sorry for the OT post, but I had to share this with someone.

for the people who've had their 6th gen for a year or more, how many hours do you have on your panel? i havent' checked mine since i passed break in, but i was curious the other day and checked. i got the panel in the beginning of Feb last year. i have 98XX hours on the panel as of yesterday on the main hour meter. according to my math, 365/9800=.03hrs/day. we usually watch for a few hours each evening and sometimes none on the weekend, but i find it's strange that i'm not even averaging an hour per day.

Really cool of Pioneer to have this input capability - my 768 panel is as good as a 720/768 panel can be!
