    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Point Blank (RECOMMENDED).

    I searched everywhere for this movie yesterday. I went to Best Buy, Circuit City, Target and Wal-Mart and none of them had it. I remembered a Borders that was a few miles away and decided to take a look there and was fortunate to find a copy. The employee had to go into the back to find it and...

    Day After Tomorrow ISSUES!!!...

    I also had problems with this disc. At first I thought that it was only me, I have had a very high number of Fox discs that turned out bad. My first disc got stuck about 5:58 into Ch.16. I returned it and my new copy works fine. Is it just me or does Fox have the worst quality control of all the...

    Need Help With Sony DVP-C660.

    Last night I opened up the player to take a look at and turned on the spindle motor through the Manual Operation then the servo control menus. The motor starts up immediately without any sticking. I tried it many times and it always started up without sticking or hesitating. I keep on thinking...

    Need Help With Sony DVP-C660.

    I was resigned to dumping this player and getting another one and this comes up. I tried the option on the service menu "Mecha Aging", I don't know what it does exactly but I found out something interesting. Every disc loads when that option is activated . The tray opens and closes and spins...

    Need Help With Sony DVP-C660.

    I had done the autocalibration before but I tried it again last night but it still didn't work. While this may very well be a mechanical problem there is still a part of me that thinks this may be a programming problem instead of a hardware problem. It plays fine when I do what I stated above...

    Need Help With Sony DVP-C660.

    I have some news to report on this. I spent a while trying out some things to fix this problem and I discovered something. If I press the Open/Close button on the remote twice at the same time that the player gives me the No Disc message then the disc loads with no problems. I tried this many...

    Need Help With Sony DVP-C660.

    I'm not entirely sure that this is an unfixable problem. Sometimes the player will just "fix itself" and work just fine for a week and then start to act up again. This just happened yesterday, every disc I put in loaded on it's first try and now today it's back to not being cooperative.

    Need Help With Sony DVP-C660.

    That is very kind of you but I don't think that will be necessary. I wouldn't want to deprive you of a good player that you could sell to somebody else for a good price. The problem with my player is something that might be fixed with a simple adjustment through the service menu, all I need to...

    Need Help With Sony DVP-C660.

    I've had a Sony 5-Disc DVD player model# DVP-C660 for three years now. I've never had a problem with it until now. Whenever I put in a disc it gives me a "No Disc" message. I have to open and close the disc tray up to ten times for it to finally accept the disc and play it. This is not a problem...

    Mystic River Delux version shortage?

    I searched for the 3-disc edition at the Best Buy, Circuit City, Target and Wal-Mart in Salem, NH and none of them had it, just the 1-disc. I decided to try checking the Best Buy in Nashua, NH and there it was and for only $20.99. This had to be a misprice because it's in the flyer for $29.99.

    According to Best Buy and Borders, the Omega Man DVD doesn't exist.

    I was browsing in Circuit City today and they had a couple of copies of it. You could give them a try.

    How dangerous is it to buy more than you can watch?

    I also have this problem. As of right now I have 62 dvds unwatched not including Buffy season 4 and South Park season 2. Some of these I've had for over a year, like Ben-Hur which I've had since Christmas '01. Besides not only having to watch the movie I also find it necessary to watch all the...

    Ice Age instead of Glengarry?

    While I would normally never return a defective POS pan & scan disc 2 of any set, the reason I returned it was because there were additional extra features on Glengarry's disc 2 that I wanted and rightfully paid for. Besides, the defective disc wasn't Ice Age's disc 1 which contains the movie...
