Just borrowed a 2900 for the weekend from a local hifi shop(prior to a possible purchase), and while generally satisfied, I have a couple of queries which hopefully someone may be able to answer.
1) Am generally running through a projector, with progressive scan enabled. However, through a tv (scart) the rgb picture is terrible - washed out etc. Is this normal? S Video setting seems fine. (this maybe because I was not using the RGB input on the tele, but not seen this on my old Sony player).
2) Using DVD-A and SACD, I have the speakers set to multi (to get surround sound). However, when playing a dvd through the tele (on s-video setting - see above!), the scart only seems to transmit the left and right channel, NOT the centre (or presumably the rears). ie the channels are not downmixed to stereo. This means there is no dialogue beacause the centre info is not sent! Can be cured by resetting speakers from multi to stereo, but surely there is an easier way?
Anyway, hopefully one of you geniuses out there may be able to help, or at least confirm my findings!
