Oh man, I didn't even check the sound menu.
I guess disregard everything I posted before. I figured all that menu was for was to change the language.
Oops.
Damn good thing I didn't pay attention to the telemarketers trying to sell me the Xena Seasons on VHS. They said that they did test marketing and that they would never be on DVD. Lying sacks of...
I've been looking at both of these and I know a big plus that the Samsung has is that both Component Inputs are autosensing and the ones on the Zenith are specific, 1 for 640p and one for 1080i.
The best thing to do is contact a manager at your local theater and make sure that they will take the coupon. Some places may not accept it. I'm sure they got the same question from a bunch of faithful fans already.
I think it sucks they didn't include a DD-EX or DTS-ES soundtrack. Special edition my a$$. This smells of the "Special Edition" Men in Black they brought out when MIB2 came out in theatres. They're just trying to drum up hype for the new movie.
One problem I had was towards the end of DVD 1. When Aragorn stands up to offer Frodo his support in the Fellowship, the dvd just froze. I backed it up a little bit and hit play and it finished out the DVD fine. I have a Pioneer DV-525. I'll have to watch it again to see if it happens again...
I'm sure this has been asked before, but does anyone have an idea why so many movies that are in DD-EX or DTS-ES are not labeled on the packaging as being so?
