Hi all,
I have a 36 inch Sony XBR400 that I purchased a little over a week ago. I've got HDTV DirecTV and OTA signal going into it via an RCA DTC-100. Of course, I'm using RCA's RGB converter too. HDTV looks fabulous. DVD looks terrible though. I have a Sony DVP-S360 (non-progressive) going to the TV through component cables. I'm noticing very bad edge enhancement on almost every DVD I watch. Is this because it's an interlaced signal? I thought the TV was bad until I compared the Fantasia 2000 scenes on the 199 loop to the DVD. No edge enhancement at all on 199, but the same scenes on the DVD have edge enhancement. For those of you familiar with Fantasia 2000, any edge enhancement is particularly noticeable in the Rhapsody in Blue and Flamingo with a Yo-Yo segments.
Does this set give each input settings independent of the others? Is there a setting in the service menu that I should flip when in 480i mode? I only ask that since 1080i looks great.
