If you want to watch one thing and record another then you'll still have to split the analog signal before the box. If all you want is to go from watching one signal to the other, then no problem other than turning the unit off/on a lot more.
#DIGITAL STREAM DTX9950 ANALOG TO DIGITAL CONVERTER BOX TV#
Happy ending (not in the massage sense: I am nearly twice her age and not her type), let's hope.ĭon't expect to be watching the digital signal on the TV while sending an analog signal to a VCR or other recording device. Update, 18:-06-05: the Radio Shack nearest my home, which is not where I bought the DTT900 (they never had it), is temporarily out of DTX9950s, but they're expecting more in and the manager agreed to do the exchange. At worst, in the end, I'll be out the cost of one extra CECB or I'll put up with what I have. Perhaps LG will exchange the defective DTT900, or perhaps I can donate one box somewhere. That's probably the biggest advantage the 9950 promises to have over the MG9 for me, bigger than the remote's layout, or the functions on it to control TV power and TV volume and TV input.Īh well. But you may have to change the zoom setting whenever you change stations, so that needs a button on the remote. I don't mind so much that the MG9 requires going through menus to toggle passthrough (though it's good that the 9950 doesn't), because you really don't change that so often. I guess I could return the MG9 to KMart and be out the coupon and just buy a 9950, but then I'd still need that third box eventually, so I might as well keep the MG9 for use with an NTSC VCR for recording 4:3 SD material, where aspect setting won't matter. Perhaps if the DTVPal is a washout I'll get a DTX9950.īut had I had any inkling that the 9950 was coming out before June 24 (the expiration date of my coupons), I'd not have bought the MG9. I've use for a third box but was planning to get a DTVPal but to wait until there were some posts from users who had them to decide. It's been more than thirty days but fewer than ninety.
I purchased a Zenith DTT900 at Radio Shack (that's where my first coupon went), and they no longer carry it but they do have the DTX9950, and this DTT900 is defective (shuts off on display of the program synopsis if it's too long), so I'm going to ask if they'll let me exchange it (same price) for a DTX9950. (Changing the zoom setting on the MG9 requires going through the menus and a lot of different button presses, so one is tempted to leave it set to letterbox at all times, even for postage-stamp images.) The remote is awful with those rows of tiny hard-to-press buttons and the lack of an aspect button. I burned my second coupon on a Magnavox TB100MG9 because I figured there would be no other model with passthrough available before it expired. whether passthrough is on when the unit is in standby how you get the info screen if the Info button toggles pass-through (same as the first of Rogee's two questions)Ģ. You can receive both coaxial or composite plugs on your TV, but this receiver gives you better pictures on the coaxial, if you set it as "preferred" on the Audio/Video menu, choose "preferred conn.1.
It gives you better reception on coaxial output to the TV.
If you don't want to go through the entire setup and options menus, you will probably think there is something wrong with it and send it back. Of course, there are a probably 32 adjustments for the captions option alone, so of course, we just put 'default' - which brings us to the bottom line. That may be an educational advantage if you are studying cuneiform. They just look weird on this one on a channel or two. For instance, not only does it have that pernicious factory default sleep timer that shuts it off in 240 minutes, but it has another factory default option (I forget what they call) that does the same thing (in addition to the sleep timer.) The captions look funny on some channels (we get them. The best thing about this receiver is that is has so many options. The Good The Bad and The Ugly but not plug and play
