Q. Is a up converting DVD player worth buying, does it work good with a HDTV?

Answer
Upconverting DVD players (or blu-ray players for that matter) are only worthwhile if you have a HDTV. They will do nothing to enhance your image on a regular TV.

Since blu-ray players will also upconvert DVDs on HDTVs, the only reason to buy just an upconverting DVD player instead of a blu-ray player is the fact that upconverting DVD players are under $50 whereas blu-ray players are about $150.

Can a Gateway laptop play a dvd from another region?

AvYY

I am planning to order dvds from England and I heard I have to have an all code dvd player. Since I don't have that, can I just play the dvd in my Gateway laptop???

Answer
By law your computer DVD player is region locked. You are allowed to change the code 5 times and then it will lock to the last region that you used forever.

There are several ways to get round this, but my answer wold probably be deleted by YA if I were to tell you.

You can buy cheap all regions DVD players in the UK. Just go to Amazon .co.uk and search for multi region DVD player. The have several for under 50 pounds.

How to program my RC010SR Marantz Remote to my DVD player?

best blu ray dvd player 3d image

Chris

I don't have my user manual for my remote and am trying to program it to control my new 3d Samsung blu ray DVD player.

Answer
I have a RC 5500SR and I can't imagine that they are that much different:
Turn off the Samsung DVD player.
Press the function selector button for DVD and the SETUP button at the same time. Hold until the indicator light blinks twice. Enter the four digit code for the Samsung DVD player (see below). If it is the correct code the DVD player will turn on or will respond to the ON/OFF button on the Marantz remote when pressed. If not, repeat the above procedure with the next code on the list:
0517, 0600, 0847.

What type of HD cable do you need to connect from your blu-ray player to the TV?

Hot Chocol

I recently got a new HD TV and I already had a blu-ray DVD player, the installer told me to get an even better picture on my TV I should buy a "HD cable" to connect from my blu-ray player to my tv. What type of cable was he talking about and does it really make a lot of difference in picture quality?
Thanks!

Answer
HDMI cable which is used for High Definition. There are a couple of different HDMI cables, but the most important to remember is that a $100 cable and $30 one will show absolutely no difference, so don't get caught by those sellers trying to make you buy an HDMI cable for $100.

You can check here for more information on HDMI cables (there's versions 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HDMI#Version_1.0_to_1.2

Generally, you'll want an HDMI 1.3, or if it's for 3D, you'll want 1.4. It usually is written on the box/bag which version it is.
