Sony KDF-E42A10 42-Inch LCD Rear Projection Television
Excellent TV, great picture quality, definitely recommended
I have all good things to say about my KDF-E42A10.  I have been nothing but pleased with my purchase and HD Channels look like still images... just soooo crisp and clear... Thanx to my HD PVR box from Rogers (here in Canada), I can record my shows in HD and view at leisure... <br /> <br />One thing that I found somewhat bothersome with the TV was the way the HDMI input works.  I have my HD PVR box hooked up with the TV directly using an HDMI cable.  Also I have a digital coax cable connecting the digital audio out from the HD PVR to the A/V Receiver.  Only problem though, even if the HD broadcast is in Dolby Digital 5.1, I get only 2 channel sound on the A/V Receiver.  In order to get 5.1 Channel DD sound, I have to get into the Settings of my HD PVR Receiver, change the Audio to :Dolby Digital\\" from \\"HDMI\\" to get 5.1 channel DD sound.  That's a few extra steps that I don't really want to take if I don't have to.  If I leave the \\"Dolby Digital\\" selected in the settings, I get no sound from the TV at all.  So when I'm done watching a show in 5.1 DD sound, I need to switch back to the \\"HDMI\\" audio mode so that the TV sound can funtion normally and everyone at home doesn't go nuts trying to get sound out of the TV.  Anyone else experience this?  Let me know.  This behavior is however, not depicted if I use Component Video Cables... weird! <br /> <br />Everything else about the TV is great! <br /> <br />Peace! <br />Robin
