WITH THE TOSHIBA 51H83TOSHIBA TV YOU CANT HOOK UP HD CABLES TO THAT SPECIFIC TV FROM YOUR XBOX 360 BECAUSE THE DEVICE ISNT EQUIPPED WITH THAT CAPABILITY
if a large rear projection set that just says HD, it likely is HD ready which means it needs a set top box connected to the Colorstream input marked 1080 on the rear of the set--It will only likely be 1080i and not p---owner manual would confirm this.
You need a HD cable box or go Satellite. That is a monitor set with NO tuner. FYI, the older sets that say HD Ready means No tuner. Salesman jumped all over that one when it came out. They would say Yep! it's HD ready and then jump into all the features to side track the customer, it was terrible.
I would suggest to leave your directtv hd/dvr box connected the way It is.
The HD Colorstream 1input on your TV should work just fine.
This TV does not have an HDMI input but you can buy an adapter and connect to DVI/HDCP IN and that might be able to get 1080i video resolution on your TV.
It sounds like you have the closed-captioning set to "text" mode. When set this way, if captioning is present the set clears the area where the text goes. You don't see the box on channels or programs where captioning isn't being used. On most TV remotes a single button controls captions, so it's easy to get into text mode without knowing it.
Unfortunately, most of these projection TV's
require a remote. You CAN purchase an aftermarket remote. I would look
for one that has all the features you need, PIP, screen format etc....
I have found that the Sony RM-VL600 works real well with my Mitsubishi
TV... kids thrashed the remotes more than once... This particular
unit has system control PROGRAMABLE buttons on the bottom row. I've
been able to program them for formatting the screen, setting audio and
video... Solved my issue of needing a factory remote.
I don't have the XBR, but on my sony, using the cable box remote, I had to go into menu/display/etc. and mark the 1080i, 720p, and 480i settings. you usually get a "if you can see this" comment if your tv accepts the settings. for standard tv i set the screen to normal, and when the upper channels go to HD, they auto go to full screen. Sounds like you are using the component cable, and also make sure you are on the video port of remote, and the the TV input. The above worked for mine. Hope it helps.
The Hitachi 50UX57B is a 50 inch standard projection TV with a standard screen. It is not HD ready. If you need it, I think I can download the owner's manual (in PDF format) from Hitachi and foward it to you.
