What is the THX certification for? I understand the concept, I own other THX certified gear, but what is the cert process for a UHD-BD player?

That's awesome! Thank you so much Adam! That's just what I needed! I knew there was a reason that I love this place!!!;)

I know this is a shot in the dark but I figure it's worth a try. I got a great deal on an open item SACD player (model DVP-NC650V) at Best Buy for $70! It didn't have a manual but I figured I could download it at Sony's website. No such luck. Does anyone have a manual that they don't need or...

I got the coupons in Feb. but have not seen them for this weekend. Not a big deal since I'm not really in the market for anything today, but still, I think it's odd that they'd send you a coupon package one time , but not the next.

Depends what you're looking for. A good entry level player from Panasonic is the DVD-RP62S. Sells for about $150 Progressive-scan, Plays DVD-Video, DVD-R, CD-DA and CD-R/RW, plus MP3 and WMA files recorded on CD, Super high-speed scan (5 speeds, up to 200x, selectable via shuttle dial)...

Perhaps you should edit the title of your post as this is not a 'quick' question :wink: Most "HDTV" sets that you find today are actually 'HD-Ready' this means that while the set is capable of displaying an HD image, an HD tuner is not built-in. The reason most manufacturers don't include...

The Kameleon is a neat remote. I saw it at CES this year. As an interesting side note, next years Kenwood will include a customized Kameleon remote!

I'll second the 811. Solid entry level unit. The Kenwood VR-6050 and VR-6060 are similar in value for dollar. these can be found for $300-500

If your shopping is limited to BestBuy, don't fret, despite their reputation as a less than stellar Joe-6-Pack outfit, you can build a respectable system with components from there (if you know what you are looking for). Currently, the best speakers they sell are from JBL. A compact sub-sat...

DVI on a TV and DVI from a PC are NOT the same! While the physical connection is the same the signals that are sent may be quite different. DVI-HDCP (copy-protected DVI) is what is found on some of the newest TVs and they won't always work with an input from a PC. Read your manuals to check...

I recently added a Sony DVP-NC650V (SACD player) to my HT equipment list. Initially I had planned to hold of and get a DVD-A/SACD combo such as the new units from Pioneer Elite. But I got this baby for a mere $90 (original retail was $399) so I had to jump on it. My main DVD player is the JVC...

The only difference in BestBuys Mits and the XX311 at other retailers is the protective screen. The 311's offer a "color tuned" sheild while BBs units simply use a clear screen protector. Electroniclly, they are the same!
