Hi
All
Little bit overview of my HTPC setup
I just finished set it up my HTPC yesterday
I got Acer Aspire T180 & Projector Panasonic PT-AE900u(1280X720P) HDMI
connected HTPC DVI over HDMI to PT-AE900U
Issue number one.
With Resolution. When i project, It cuts from all the side little bit. so i dont see taskbar. and also when you open any application u dont see any close and minimize toolbar, also cant see a some icons left side .How can i fix this. I tried using nvidia control manager with different resolution. but no luck
Important details : current resolution i set it up from nvidia control manager is 1920x1080i and my Projector only 1280X720P . i tried that too.... but its same thing.
Issue number two.(Not really issue)
With SPDIF OUT. When i connect SPDIF Toslink out to yamaha V-AUX it gives me audio with any format but i cant change format bcas it says STRAIGHT on receiver display. So if My DVD movie in 5.1 or 7.1 it will give me that otherwise only 2 channel. Also In 5.1 or 7.1 i cant change the settings in reciever i.e. enhanced sound + DTS matrix etc...
When i connect SPDIF toslink out to Yamaha DTV or Cable/Satellite In , It gives me only 5.1 or 7.1 channel sound if i play AVI file with mp3 audio, it wont give me any sound.i want to use this IN bcas i can change settings i.e. DTS, dolby, 7 channel stereo or enhance sounds etc...
Also Can anybody suggest Any good Movie player like Nero that plays all DVD and AVI files and dont need no extra Codes
Does DIVX gives you 5,1 or 7,1 sound. also does it play DVD?
Any suggestion to improve my visual experience is welcome.
Thanks in advance.
