So you need a HD transducer to view in HD??? And the unit does not come with one. Is this all correct??

The HD in the name of the units refer to display only, and not to sharpness of detail that you would get with a HD transducer, which does not come with the 698 . I KNOW it is confusing . The larger displays come with a longer, slim (HD) transducers that show better detail . And that includes the 900 series and up. You can get a HD ducer for the 899 that does not come with it . The small display (5 inch and under) units come with the compact side scan ducer. and do not have the software to use the HD ducer. This helps keep the price lower.

Mine came with a transducer and it was not a problem. I think they all come with a transducer as I have installed several different sonar units on my boats over the years and all came with a transducer. This is a very nice unit and I used it all last summer with good results. Of course, it can't make the fish bite. lol

What they said. It's not hard to do, but a necessity if you want to utilize the HD capabilities of your satellite receiver (assuming it is a High Definition receiver).

Yes it does, but it is analog so you won't be able to watch HD video all you have to do is buy a DVI-D cable with at least 4K resolution and then it will be digital, and the clarity, 3-D and sharpness becomes WOW!!

You need the latest spec HDMI cable. The old standard did not provide this feature.

no hdmi input only an output for display this is a great unit if you have tapes that you wish to convert to digital files , you can install your own hard drive and it can read 2 external drives and it is very easy to swap between the drives

I bought this TV for a second home. The Condo Unit comes with analog and digital cable. When I do the Channel Setup Scan ( both Analog and Digital), I only pick up the Analog. I was told that I need a convertor. I also bought a small Sony LCD, and when I did the Setup. it picked up both Analog and Digital and was able to view the HD Channels. Any suggestions??

I just bought this system. I haven't tested it yet but the way I have setup is this:PS3 to HDTV via HDMITV to Receiver via Optical InputThis way my I can use Inputs on my TV (it has a lot more inputs than this receiver.) and I get the quality sound. Good luck

Hi Anne, they come with an 83/200khz conventional transducer, as well as the lss-2 structure scan transducer for superior imagery. Thanks from Scott at Maple Leaf GPS

I recall a standard cable. If you want HD quality, however, you will need your own HDMI cable. That was not included when I received this monitor.

I have used this adapter only for video data - to display what was on my computer screen on the projection screen. There was no audio data included in my projection. That said, I would check all the usual suspects - are all the cables secure? - are the speakers connected? - are the speakers on? - is the sound card ok? Is the mini HDMI-HDMI converter ok? After checking that all the mechanical pieces are right, I'd reboot everything and try again. I hope this helps. Best regards, TNF

No. It is a great OTA tuner (2 of them) that record in HD. It does have inputs for other devices such as a satellite receiver BUT those are pass through to the TV. You can't record the other inputs.

the non-HD tranducer. i cant remember the number. you can upgrtade to the HD transducer though. the one that comes with it works good , the hd helps sharpen the images on 800 mhz.

Here's another question for you Ron? My older TV does not have hdmi inputs. But a good friend, who's an electronics engineer, said I should use a cable converter that inputs HDMI (from the DVD player) and outputs component (into the HD component on the TV). Does that seem right?

No. This unit down converts and records in standard definition and then up converts the playback in HD. Seems counterproductive but my guess is this approach was chosen to put less demand on the hardware. The up conversion is very good and the quality is about 90% of true HD. I would estimate most people would not notice the slight loss of quality.

It does not come standars on the HD DI model. They do have one with side imaging so you have to make sure that it specifies that it is there. Most likely the model you are inquiring about is just the high definition model and possibly not even has the down imaging either. It is the base unit. Hope it helps.

The DVI to HDMI conversion doesn't transfer sound. Other option would be to connect speakers for sound as the ones on monitor are not loud at all.

Unfortunately no. You need to buy the transducer seperate. Otherwise, its fantastic.
