Is there any settings for the BDT310, on here or could I use these?

Thanks for your help, that Red Dog film sounds like a good film, just looked at the reviews.

I've set my receiver to pass through as well, didn’t notice any difference apart from now I can use the player without the receiver on. My TV is a Panasonic TXL42ET60B, I sit about 8 feet away.

How have you got yours set up?

I think I have done what you advised. Set chroma to 4.2.2 Turn off secondary audio (on mine I think its BD-Video secondary audio) And set av receiver to pass through (could you explain this) Thanks for all your help, much appreciated

That clears that up then, I was told that DVD's in a blu ray player means a better picture. I will be buying blu rays from now on.

Tried a few more DVD's last night and they were no better, I think buying this Blu-ray player was a bad idea. Just to add my old DVD player was a Sony RDR-HXD890, maybe that was worth keeping and save my money.

How can I tell if the Blu-ray player is upscaling to 1080p?

I've just got a BDT310 and played a DVD last night and the picture was no better than my 7-year-old DVD player that it is replacing. I have got it connected HDMI AV OUT MAIN to my Yamaha RX-V667, and amp HDMI out to TV. Should I connect HDMI AV OUT MAIN straight to my TV, and AV OUT SUB to my...

Quick search, the Probook and Elitebook seem to be the better made HP laptops is that correct?

Just been to PC World to view a 15" & 17" side by side, and like you say their are a bit flimsy, you can even twist the lid/screen. The 17" looked the best to me so going to stick to that size. Which HP models are built like a tank?

I got that used laptop but sent it back it was in really bad condition even though he said it was in good condition, dont know why people cant be more honest when selling things. Any way I'm going for a new one so I dont get conned again, what do you think about this, comes with a 3 year...

Thanks very good feedback, dont have any SACDs, I need it mainly to play my big collection of DVDs.

Thanks for your help everyone I'll have to think about the screen res a bit longer, would a 17" with 1600x900 be a lot better or has it to be full HD? Off topic could I ask expat_mike in your sig you have a Panasonic DMP-BDT310, could you tell me what’s it like I'm thinking of buying one.

Well my old HP that I'm replacing hasn't had a battery for the last 2 years, its been a bit of a pain but I have just got used to it. Other than the battery might be on its way, is it a good spec laptop?
