I posted a few days ago about the Calida.Well,I took your advice and found a Planus from a different store [same chain].They had one left over for 2250. with the stand.Ch-ching!Took it home Friday night,hooked it up to my Pioneer 414 with s-video Monster Cable.Outstanding!
Now a few questions if You dont mind.The salesman at the first store said you can*t hook up a progressive scan dvd player up,that it would not work?Does not seem right to me.
Second,I didnt get a manual yet,is there any advice[other than what you already so kindly given]to get the most out of this until I get the manual.
Third and last;one guy in his AR review said the only progressive input was the VGA input.Comments?
Sorry for the long post and all the questions.Thanks again,Scott.

Hey Scott,Congrats on your smokin deal.
First, your salesman is sorta right. No, you can't hook up a progressive output to the component inputs on the Loewe. The component inputs only take 480i. However, you can hookup a 480p signal to the RGBHV (VGA) input. Few players output 480p through a VGA out, but I got a YUV to RGBHV transcoder. This will allow you to take the YUV (component output) to the transcoder and the transcoder to go to the VGA input on the Loewe. These transcoders can be found at www.keydigital.com and/or other sites for as little as $190 (try a search at www.avscience.com's forum. Believe me when I say it's worth it. The internal line doubler doesn't look nearly as good as the 480p coming out of most DVD players (despite what the salesman always say).
The most important thing you can do now to improve the picture is to turn NTSC standard to on. This sets the color, tint, brightness, etc. to NTSC standards and turns off scan velocity modulation. Also turn the temperature to medium. If you change brightness, or something the software will automatically turn off NTSC standard. The one gripe I have with the Planus is the klugey software.
For more advanced setup such as geometry, horizontal amplitude, etc. There are more internal adjustments in the service menu. Provided you feel comfortable tweaking these things. If you do, write down the default settings before you make any changes as you can screw things up if you're not careful.
Good luck.
Peace,
Chuck Moe
