HD Ready means it is able to display a HD signal, it may downscale it
though.

I need to check my manuals for both tv and projector.
Even if my tv & projector didn't downscale and I had the HD Toshiba
DVD would the amp I've got between them potentially downsize the
signal if it's not full HD?

I've got Cambridge Audio standard DVD going through a Cambridge A.
Azur 5.4 amp connected via component into an Hitachi TX300 projector.
I'll look into the output potential for all. Sound is to Tannoy 5.1EFX
+SW.
I suppose Full HD kit is V expensive - please don't tell me for my £2K
I could have done better.

Re paint on the wall - right now its standard white Matt Emulsion I'm
afraid. I've looked at the Goo and something on Amazon. I've got a
screen but quite like the chic of just using a wall, it impresses
dinner guests!
Does using the special paint really add that much to the viewing
experience?, I mean really? (as in my sceptical wife would see the
difference - I wouldn't need a bearded Lord of the Rings fan sporting
a lab coat and an IQ of 160 to prove it to her with a light meter).

The more I learn the more I worry.
