playing back 1080i w/JVC HD-50
 

I just received a 1080i tape and can't get my hd-50 or gy-hd100 to play the tape. I switched all the internal setting i could find and still nothing. No downconverted output through composite, component or y/c.

am I missing a simple step?

Thanks
Kev

the answer is no. From the JVC site.

"Q8 - Will the BR-HD50 record or play back HDV 1080i material?
A8 - No."



So why the 1080i setting in the menu and the reference to it in the manual?
