I have a Sony 36in XBR Wega with a 4:3 flatscreen. It supports 480p and 1080i and has 2 sets of component inputs. I can view widescreen DVDs in 1080i (with the top and bottom of the screen blank) or I can view 4:3 DVDs on progressive and get the full 4:3 screen version with incredible resolution, depth and motion stability. I assume my TV is HD ready, no one at Comcast could answer the question.
I am getting Comcast HDTV, but...
they do not have a manual for the HDTV box they are bringing me, nor could anyone there answer my questions. Does anyone know what video and audio outputs are on the box? For example, do I need 3-component (Y,Pr,Pb) just for the HDTV signals, and then S-video for the remaining channels, or is all video output through the 3-component? Does it have digital audio output, or just R and L? If digital, what format? I ask this because they can only supply 6 ft. stock cables and my set is in the back of the room, too far to reach. I also will upgrade the cables anyway. Thanks.
