Can any one tell me if a progressive scan dvd play

Psychic, how'd you type the '¿?'? I just did a cut and paste to put it here. I've never seen this before.

And yes 2-channel makes life much easier and better sounding too.

i disagree. i have separate systems for music and home theater, and i FIRMLY believe in quality 5.1 (or 7.1) film soundtracks, as long as music remains 2 channel. the purpose of a movie soundtrack is to immerse you and make you believe you are there in the middle of everything. so, surround channels work. when you see a live concert, unless you're a musician, you don't hear guitars behind you with the bass in front and the viola slightly behind you to the left, etc. you hear it in front of you. so, 2-channel works for music.

If one has separate audio and HT, one will long for the Audio system's musical performance, unless one has a *lot* of money. No need to make one's life miserable...

As for the original question, Cambridge decided not to put the Progressive Scan feature in their DVD player. Seems it's not better than component out, according to them.

It seems it's the same with video, too. One can get an image that is technically correct with a HDTV, progressive scan, etc., but that will not look 'live'. More 'advanced' is not necessarily better....

I am very satisfied with the results I'm getting with the isolation transformer--the DVD player is delivering better picture and sound. It's like having my own portable dedicated line!

Thanks to everyone for the great input, it has answered my question in regard's to HT, but I must agree with Lazarus28 on seperate HT and audio.I have a strictly audio system in my war room (ex-military) It consist of DBX bx-3 power amp, CX-3 pre amp, a sony 550es tuner, another dbx DX-5 CD player( I love the compression feature on these players) hooked up to four dbx soundfield speakers. I origanly tried to us this as the heart of my HT, but couldn't get the sound effect that I wanted out of it. It was load enough, almost ear bleeding loud if I turned it all the way up, Ijust didn't get the same feeling as if I was sitting in a movie theater. Musicaly the system is almost perfect, regarless of the type of music I play, classic, jazz, rock, alternative, country, I can turn the volume almost all the way up with out any distrotion. (Thats by use of the human ear) I think with better speakers, interconnects, and wire, I'd be able to achieve that crystal clear sound with no distortion at full volume. Thanks again for everyones input.
