Thank you very much Lewin! the Halcro has HDMI de-interlacing and scaling, It has incredible electronics but several issues, like I'm waiting for my 3th unit to arrive, the firts one has a remote control censor problem (the one in the unit not the remote) and the one you saw on the pictures now 2 months from now has a Digital input and output problem in with the Right channel that has a 20dBs loss of signal volume! For now I can only use the 7.1 input and output. The first thing I persive when the halcro arrive was that they spend about 2.99 usd in the chassis, If you compare the Halcro to Krell, Marks, and other top quality processors, It has nothing to do, the true is that I'm very dissaponted with it, at least for the outside, for the Halcro performance, apart from the problems it is incredibly good!
Now the HD-DVD is a nightmare, as you can imagin I have some experince in connecting sources and everything, well it took me about 1 hour to get it funtion! The problem is the trash HDMI connection that is not but a desperate messure of the studios for copy protection, the so called HD handshake that the devices have to make before sending the signal is one of the worst ideas in the world, Just imagine these: You are watching a movie you want to turn a little down the volume, by accident you change the source of you processor trying to find in the dark the volume button, well that makes the HD-DVD driver to think something is happening and it gets you to error, you need about 5 min. to get work again! And also you have to turn on your processor, and your projector first because if you dont it gets you to error. Now when this happend you find out that the HD DVD doesnt get you where you left, it gets you right to the begining!
I had to admit that even with its 1080i capability the image look incredibly good. I just change my projector to a Marantz VP11S1 and it looks amazing!Comment

It is interesting to note that the 800 Diamond was awarded 104 points. It's predecessor, the 800D, was awarded 101 points when it was reviewed at this same site in May 2005.
This is how their point system of grading is applied:

Just wondering if anyone with kids has come up with a creative way of protecting the 800 series tweeters. My problem is not so much with my kids, but with rest of the younger population that come over to our house. I currently have 703s which have a much sturdier tweeter housing to keep out the little... -
Looking for the bass alignment filter for B & W Bowers and Wilkins 800 Series speakers.
Considering the Krell, JPS Golden Flute, anodyne, KBX Krell, or Northcreek (801/802) bass alignment filter.
The stock/original B & W filter, the one with the wall-plug, will... -
This is a bit OT, but I was working on an audio project the other day and managed to get some super glue on my dedicated electronics bench. This has a formica top, so I tried out some various solvents to try and get rid of it. Goo Gone, Denatured Alcohol, and Acetone were the first at bat. Acetone was... -
Given the number of piecemeal threads floating around regarding the SSP-800 I felt it would be more useful to consolidate the information we currently know about the upcoming processor into a dedicated thread. I believe it would facilitate better record keeping as more information...
