You can update it using the USB port, doesn't have to be over ethernet


edit: ignore that comment - 773 doesn't have usb!!! Must be getting it muddled up with something else!

I finally bought one of these. For my particular setup, it has made a substantial improvement in picture quality.

Does anyone know the difference between VP-773, VP-773A, and VP-773AMP? I know the VP-773 does not have speaker outputs, just balanced line out.

Better compared would you say - to using the old cheap Panasonic DVD Recorder idea ?

I was able to get a better picture without a Panasonic DVD Recorder, so I ran direct composite. There are a lot of variables in play, but at the very least the VP-773 offers substantially more settings, and in my case better picture quality.

Thankyou C++ a straightforward appraisal !

I am going to be able to try out an Extron dsc301 shortly (just lucked on a working unit for only 35$) after its delivered.

Will be on the lookout for a 773 to come by my way but for a steal if possible - will give it a whirl - especially keen if the Extron shows any improvement for me.

Is anyone else bothered by the fan noise? I have the 773 non-amp model. Has anyone disconnected it?
