That's a top quality brand name. Where did you buy it ..... on a
trip to India? Are you changing your story now by stating this thing
has "HDTV resolution" You stated you had a flat panel HDTV. Does this
Magnosonic thing have a HDTV tuner built in? Does it have a 16:9 ratio
screen? If so where can one be purchased?


Jeeze Louise, take it easy, I think you're mixing me up with Bob. I did
not post the original story, merely reported the piece of kit that I
have. It does not have an HDTV tuner, unfortunatley, the screen is not
16:9, but rather 4:3. However it has a VGA input and if you get yourself
a VGA to Component cable their is plenty of resolution to display
whatever comes out of your DVD player quite nicely. Having an HDTV
tuner would be nice but I only paid $250 CDN for it at our local
Canadian Tire store. It has a DIN standard mount on the back so you can
buy a wall mount bracket of your choice.

Heres a manual of a similar model:
