Agreed. So there's this thing called High Definition MULTIMEDIA Interface that was designed with the specific intention of using one cable to transmit audio and video, yet for some reason, Onkyo has managed to bypass the entire concept of this interface. It's as if they are taking the engineers who worked so hard on this medium, lined them up and pissed on them while shouting obscenities about their families. The only reason this is done, is to force people into buying their more expensive counterparts. I would assume that they had to pay the licensing fee to use HDMI or it wouldn't be on there in the first place. The audio data is already in the receiver, all they have to do is get the data to decoder, which is already there as well. One connection. No cost. What Losers.

I thought you were talking about Dell .... Far more dishonest. There's a class action suit against them by their own employees. So even if HP lied to their customers, that's almost expected in a capitalist society. Dell Lies to everyone. They even give false information to employees so they will give that same information to customers weather they know they're lying or not. It's all what happens when capitalism is more important than integrity, but that's sure not changing......

It's a camera of some sort for sure. The black holes in the front are iris rod holders. Honestly, I wish it were a projector. Red markets the dogshit out of everything they make and if you ask anyone who uses their gear it's total crap compared to the big boys. $60,000 may be a lot of money, but not for a digital cinema camera. You get what you pay for. That's why the Viper, Genesis and Sony F23 own the market. They are making reliable products and they have no need to spend billions on marketing. They just make something badass and the small group of people who use them spread the word like wildfire. Red doesn't even test their own products! They give that crap to end users and say, "Here, you deal with it." The camera is not even capable of doing what the spec sheet says it can because the firmware is so screwed up. There's new releases all the time, but I'd rather have one release of decent and stable firmware than 1,000 a month. And I'd rather not be a beta tester for something i just spent $60,000 on. Some of the the "supported formats" don't even work. They sell well cause they've marketed the crap out of it so much that people who don't know a damn thing about film or digital cinema think it's the best thing ever and production companies wanna ride the wave of popularity and claim they have this camera that everyone thinks is great. That way, Joe's used car salesman will use them to make his commercial cause he thinks this camera somehow makes them a viable production house. Just like Vista marketing.... Advertising? or fix our product? Advertise.

This is the loudest Blu-Ray of rock and roll!

Maybe we just can't see the rear channels in the room, looks like they have studio monitors with the blue lights as front center and right, plus a stereo pair for testing... Media center still sucks though...

No wonder media center sucks, they have no concept of how to setup a theater, or even the most basic concepts of what 5.1 is. Holy shit, that is shameful. :o\

What they don't tell you is that this bitch probably captures at 1080i or les and just upconverts it. no better than your TV does with 1080i content. The cosumer camera industry is so misleading its unbeleivable. And either way, even if it did capture 1080p, the codec its using prolly sucks balls. who cares about resolution when you're only capturing 8mbits/s? Hell, DVDs do 6... Point being, this shit is was overhyped despite actually outputting in 1080p. We should just start slapping upconverters on everything and call them HD!

back again...

All this for just a comment? So many comments to come...

Nice :o)
