Another NB question on RCA model HDTV

Archived from groups: alt.tv.tech.hdtv (More info?)

Hey all,

I still dont have a manual for my tv. Its on a loan. Google really hasnt
done much for me either. My model is the D52W20. I have a new Adelphia
unit HDTV reciever that I can select the popular HDTV formats. I have
480i/p, 720p, and 1080i.

When 720 is selected via the Motorola 6412/2000 Adelphia cable box, the
image is in 3 sections. That is, it is the same image from left to right.
It appears like the quality would be good. But not having the manual for
the TV, I do not know if its a limitation or not of the TV. I assume it is
at this point. I leave it at 1080i.

I again am assuming that a 720p picture would look a little better than the
1080i due to interlacing. I get that opinion from watching my Phillips DVP
642 DVD player with progressive scan on-vs-off. With Progressive ON, its
loads better of course. I akin that to interlacing.

Is this unit capable of that resolution? There are no obvious input
settings other than the simple DVI or YPbPr. I currently use the latter
although the results are the same on either.

Thanks all,
SL

Download the manual from RCA if you want it. I didn't bother to try
to find it, but another poster said it is available.

I did find with a quick search that the native display for this set is
1080i, which I would expect for this sort of rear projection set. So,
set the cable box output to 1080i so the box does a single conversion
to that format when the broadcast station isn't 1080i so the TV
doesn't have to do a second conversion.
