Many thanks All That You Touch, I've had a look at the machine and it
looks excellent. I have a question or two. Are you sure about the zoom out
facility so that you can compensate for TV overscan and view the full DVD
movie image? The various web sites I've viewed the LG RH7500 on, including
LG's site, just say 'zoom' and I've noticed on many DVD players that zoom
can just mean zoom in and not, the all important, zoom out if you want to
avoid overscan. Also which 300 GB hard disk did you replace it with? SATA
or IDE? Does it work exactly the same as with the 80 GB disk it comes
with? Is swapping the hard disk as easy as with a PC, IE. SATA or IDE
cable and power cable out, swap the disk and replace the cables? Finally
what about future versions of DivX and XviD, can you put future releases
onto a DVD and update it?
Many thanks and regards, etc.,
MS
