They didn't come on by default with my HTPC either. I had to turn subtitles on, then back off and they worked fine after that without having subtitles on constantly. Hope that helps... -will

The irony is that his post no longer lists the vendor that shipped early. Your rebuke is the only record of whom released prior to the release date... -will

Wow, now I appreciate mine even more! Not only did she buy me a Pronto TSU2000 for my birthday, she also went with me when I was test riding new moutain bikes for three weekends WHILE she was 6 months pregnant! -will

Just to clarify, DVD Talk is a forum. You ordered from DVD International. They actually put out the VE disc, so I'm sure they're trust-worthy. -will

As far as the TV goes, I have the 32" - KV32FS12, and it does the squeeze via the menu. It was the selling point for this set. If he has an older Wega, it may only be possible through the service menu, yuck. Definitely check, it's a great feature. -will

Well I'm finally moving into a place where I'll have more room for my home theater. I'm going to be upgrading to a 6.1 capable setup and I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to do sound now. The search engine is offline currently so I can't look for older posts. I'm trying to find out what...

Wow Mark! That's one nice looking rack. I just finished mine, now I'm ready to scrap it and start anew! I can't really tell in the picture, did you opt for stainless hardware? -will

And a selectable 80/100/120 x-over for what it's worth. -will

It's marketing hype. How are you supposed to transport MP3 over a coax connection? MP3s are binary data not mystical electrical impulses that can just be sent out. It has as much MP3 decoding as my parent's 1970 Marantz receiver. -will

The braiding method takes a LOT of time, especially for longer runs. I've been working on a set off and on for a while, and have gotten unbelievably fast with braiding. They are a pain to work with as well, I need 12 foot runs, so I'm working with 18 foot of wire, and basically have to unbraid...
