[msuk]

Hi all,

I am thinking about getting the Solo2 and would like to ask what are peoples experience of using this box?

Are there any known issues?

I will be connecting this to a 1080p 50" Plasma.

Thanks in advanced

It's by far the best receiver i have owned including 7 other E2 based receivers which include the Duo, Uno and Ultimo.

Thanks! Does this box support 3D output?

Hello again,

Regarding Standard Definition, does this box have a upscaler to improve the picture to say 1080i?

Thanks in advanced

It upscales, but don't expect SD to be upscaled to HD quality, no receiver can do that.

Indeed, you might even wonder if this upscaling is an improvement at all.

BTW: best way is always to let the TV handle the video-processing. So using the plugin autoresolution to match contents to the output; the TV knows best how to handle all kinds of resolutions (as it knows all the ins and outs of it's own panel and electronics; no way the box knows about your telly).

Hi, how do I switch the solo2 upscaler off in the ViX image?

As rob says install the auto resolution plugin from the image feeds then set the output to the same as the input.

Hi,

Where do I find that in the menu?

Thanks

[Larry-G]

Menu> Plugins> Green button to download > ( not sure on this last bit as i'm not near a receiver ) it's in either system plugins or extensions.

Hi,

Downloaded the plugin. Where do I find it in the menu? It doesn't appear in plugins

[Larry-G]

Should appear in Menu> Setup> System if memory serves as it's been a long long time since i used that particular plugin.

Found it

There are lots of settings here. Can't see input same as output.

Everything is set to default.
