Panasonic PV-D4744 Progressive-Scan DVD/VCR Combo , Black
Will not work with some HD TVs
Will not work with some HD TVs..  Oh they meant ME!<br /><br />I own an RCA 38in 16x9 TV with direct TV satellite tuner built in.  A truly great TV.  Being a nearly flat tube.. It is brighter and better than every LCD TV I have ever seen.  I think a high resolution Plasma Flat screen might be better.  1600x1200 range.<br /><br />Well, anyways..  Bought the low end Panasonic dual DVD + VHS deck to this TV.  I thought since the deck had component OUT.. Both the tape and DVD would use that connection.  Answer?  NO!  But it will output both signals to composite AOK.  Sheesh!<br /><br />So no matter what we tried the deck insisted on outputting both signals to the composite.  Thus the audio would play for DVD and then not VHS.  Then back again...<br /><br />Now that I have spent an afternoon banging my head against the wall..  If you have low end equipment?  Simply love Composite (the yellow RCA connector) this is a great deck?  This player DVD connection will work great.<br /><br />If you like seeing all those pixels coming out of a quality 480p progressive scan DVD using component.. and a quality Panasonic VHS player.. Give up!  Buy a separate quality DVD player and VHS player.<br /><br />Folks.. People still listen to Vinyl Records.  I have a wall full of SVHS/VHS tapes.  Not going to grow old transferring them to DVD.  So how about a SVHS and a Progressive DVD deck that has the option to out put to ONE Component or DVI? Composite should just die.
