I got my 1070 on Friday and hooked everything out and and it sounds awesome. However, when playing my Bravo D2 SVS player it seems that it doesn't allow the movie to "fill" the screen. Anone have this problem with your upconverting DVD players??

Also I noticed my Harmony 668 remote DVD Input button doesn't work. Anyone know how to fix this?

I assume that you've got a widescreen display, in which case you'd have the player set to wide (or 16:9, or whatever name Bravo uses). Even with this setup, there will be some DVD's that have black bars on the top and bottom because the movies were shot at 2.35:1 while the display is 1.78:1. Is that what you are seeing?

Are the black bars at the top and bottom, or on the sides?

Definitely check your display setup to make sure the TV type is set to widescreen. If you have a disc that you know is anamorphic 1.78:1 (not 1.85:1 or 2.35:1, both of which should include at least a small black bar on top and bottom) and still get black bars, I'd suspect the player of being set for a 4:3 TV. If this is the case, the picture will also look smooshed.

Yep that was the problem. I somehow forgot to reset the dvd player to 16:9. All working great.

I have the Bravo D2 and 1070. If you are still having problems with your Harmony Remote either try telling the remote that you have to use "Video 4" for the DVD function on the receiver, or tell it to learn a new command and use the button on the Outlaw remote to teach it.

I forget if mine is still like that, or if harmony released a 1070 and then I deleted my receiver and recreated it. I may have also used the 1050 profile and modifyed it - I forget, but it works great.

You were right with the 16:9 on the Bravo - if you haven't already, make sure you do the firmware upgrade on that - it will make your life much simpler if the power ever goes off (player forgets all its settings).

Thanks. I will tell my remote to use video4 input on my Harmony and see it works the DVDinput on my 1070.

On my Samsung DLP TV set they got the component 1 and 2 swapped.
