Thanks Chris, what you did is my plan, run the slides while not watching and I figured the best thing to come of this might be less IR after I am done. The idea behind using this particular set of slides is to be able to use a pro calibrator's settings once he posts them on AVS. He uses this set of slides then makes his adjustements in the service menu so following his steps should yeild similar results, better(?) PQ, well a near calibrated picture at least. I just have to decide if I am willing to go into the service menu to do the changes and run the risk of messing something up.........

Changing a display settings to Movie and/or Warm, gets you 90% of the way. Using a calibration disc to dial in color/tint and brightness/contrast and sharpness gets you 99%. If you want to get to 99.9% you can mess in the service menu. I've not bothered with my Kuro, 99% is better than I ever imagined.

I still need to get the BR version, I have DVE and Avia....in storage, I have a lot of work to do once we move in

Hi Jay
I've got the Spears and Munsil Bluray calibration disk I received with my OPPO. I could mail it out to you if you want.

That would be great mel, thanks!! But let's wait till I move so it doesn't get left behind. I will PM you when I can make use of it. I could even wait till you make down for the GTG

Sounds like you are really enjoying your new display Jay.

Spent some time setting up the S1 with the 3808 and the sat box tonight and was unable to get any picture going from the Sat box hooked up via its DVI out to the HDMI in on the 3808 and then to the Panny. I think it has to do with an HDCP handshake issue as the sat box would sometimes display HDCP on its front display. At least I am able to get the component outs to work and the upscaler in the 3808 appears to work very well, even if it isn't the latest and greatest. Much more playing to go.....

Glad that you are enjoying your new HDTV! I have the Panny 65" S1 and I love it! Good luck getting the "handshake" issues cleared up...I wrestled with no video signal/loss of video signal from my AVR-790 for about 2 weeks before I realized that the receiver was defective

Funny thing is the BR player has no problem sending it's signal through the 3808 to the Panny. I can only guess it has to do with outdated firmware in my sister's satelite box.
The fun part will be seeing if my new HD terminal will work and we will be in the new house just in time for the Super Bowl
