GregA1503560021 Posted March 27, 2007 Posted March 27, 2007 Just noticed an option for vertical drive frequency on the PDP-507XDA. The user guide doesn't explain anything useful about it. I assume 100Hz is better? From pg 46 of the PDP507XDA manual: (http://www.pioneer.com.au/download.cfm?f=BEEFFA0E-5755-1409-1398B0E42023DCF6) "You can switch the vertical drive frequency for screen display between 75 Hz and 100 Hz. Choose the drive frequency that best suits the broadcast signals in your area. 1 Press HOME MENU. 2 Select “Option” (i/j then ENTER). 3 Select “Drive Mode“ (i/j then ENTER). 4 Select “75 Hz” or “100 Hz” (i/j then ENTER). " Is this worth understanding?

GregA1503560021 Posted March 27, 2007 Author Posted March 27, 2007 I also figure it's probably unimportant. So many "features" to sound more sophisticated. It annoys me reading "Choose the drive frequency that best suits the broadcast signals in your area." when they don't explain how to choose, or how to find out.
mtv Posted March 28, 2007 Posted March 28, 2007 Try both, then select which ever one works/looks best to you.
Anton-P.

I once read a dvd player manual which says Sound output option: Select "bitstream" for bitstream, or "PCM" for PCM (and that was it, nothing else on what is bitstream, what is PCM) !! Holy cow ... as if I needed their instructions to know to select A for A, or B for B.
