Amazon.com Product Description
Launch yourself into your high-definition future with JVC's I'Art PRO 56-inch AV-56P575 rear-projection television, a big-screen TV to write home about. The set stands just over 2 feet deep and offers 480p, 720p, and 1080i image compatibility and a broad, 16:9 widescreen aspect-ratio and innovative theater-oriented features like DIST 1080i (Digital Image Scaling Technology, with which all sources are upconverted to full high-definition 1080i resolution) and selectable on/off velocity-scan modulation, which improves the definition at picture edges.

The AV-56P575's high-resolution (0.52 mm) lenticular screen has anti-static coating and a scratch-resistant screen shield to ensure long life and pristine viewing. For adjusting the set's 7-inch SuperHD CRTs, you can use the built-in Super Focus auto convergence feature or 81-point manual convergence if you want to set the convergence precisely to your taste.

HD Range DSD (Digital Super Detail) High-End Edge-Correction Circuitry, and Natural Cinema (3:2 pulldown reversal) corrects the problem of blurred edges which may occur when viewing a program originally shot on film (such as motion pictures) or animation. Natural Cinema helps correct conversion errors that occur when film, which is shot at 24 frames-per-second, is broadcast at the television rate of 30 frames-per-second.

For direct hookup with a DTV set-top receiver, the set offers a cutting-edge High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI). HDMI is a lossless, uncompressed, all-digital audio/video interface to link the set with any compatible audio/video source. HDMI supports standard-definition (SD), enhanced definition (ED), or high-definition (HD) video, plus multi-channel digital audio--all using a single cable. It transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and supports up to 8-channel digital audio, with bandwidth to spare to accommodate future enhancements and requirements.

Two auto-sensing, HD-capable component-video inputs accept video from DTV receivers or standard and progressive-scan DVD players (among other devices), while S-video and standard RCA composite-video inputs accommodate most other video sources. The set offers a total of 4 audio/video inputs, one of which is built into the front panel so you can hook up a VCR, camcorder, or gaming console. A rear-panel RF input accommodates older VCRs, cable boxes, and antennas.

A multifunction timer turns the TV on and off for you when you're not home or works as an alarm clock or program reminder; a sleep timer saves energy by turning off the set after you've nodded off. Other features include XDS (Extended Data Service) auto clock set with ID and channel display, 6 aspect modes including HD EZ Fill (Panorama, Regular, Cinema, Full, HD Cinema Zoom, HD Panorama), and single-tuner POP (picture-on-picture) with image freeze and multiwindow indexing.

The AV-56P575 receives not only stereo broadcasts, but Second Audio Programming (or SAP), too, and you always have Advanced HyperSurround to simulate surround sound from any 2 speakers. BBE High-Definition Audio improves speech intelligibility and restores the dynamic range of compressed musical passages.

Failed component still not fixed - being told by Toshiba 1 month for repair.......2007-02-03

3 months into ownership, modem fails on our P105-S6104. We contact Toshiba - they refer us to a local firm that does their repairs for the entire South Texas region. Takes them almost two weeks to say that the part is on backorder and will take over 1 month to get it in and fix this machine. I call Toshiba 800 number, and corporate in CA, they promise to phone back trying to find part faster than 1 month. So far I'm at over 4 hours of phone time with holds. They don't phone back (big surprise)and claim that, by law, they have 30 days to do warranty repairs. I point out that, as it stands now, they will take over 30 days for this repair, and request a replacement to get us back up and running again. Not their policy, I'm told and they dispute the 30 days, because they're not counting the days at the local repair depot before I started calling them directly. They also claim that they stand behind their product. Does this sound like support? Purchase Toshiba at your peril.
