Thanks for the response. I tried plugging my receiver in again this evening and I didn't get power until after a few tries of plugging the receiver a few times into different plugs. Now, it is on and I've held Video 2 + Enter but nothing happens. Should I get some kind of notice or sound when it...

Hello, Yesterday my Pioneer VSX-1014TX receiver (September 2004 build date) wouldn't power on. Some things I tried that did not help: -I switched to another known good outlet on the surge protector -Reset the surge protector. -I plugged it in to another outlet directly. -Let it sit...

Thanks. I'll look into that and see what movies they offer. At one time it was free and I believe they are charging $10 a month for a group of HD channels including the ones you mention.

Thanks for the reply. Well, I think it's odd because I believe(and maybe I'm being naive) that those who are buying HD televisions understand about aspect ratios and are looking to come close to (or replicate/improve) a theater viewing, and the provider would want to satisfy that audience.

Hi. I ordered HD PPV on DirecTV for the first time for Michael Clayton and noticed that it fills up my Widescreen TV even though IMDB shows that it was shot 2.35 to 1 in Panavision Anamorphic. I've also seen this on some movies when I got HBO for free last summer. While I realize that it's...

I found this on Amazon.com # Disc 1: # **Widescreen Feature (Enhanced Trilogy Version) # **Commentary by George Lucas, Irvin Kershner, Ben Burtt, Lawrence Kasdan, Dennis Muren, and Carrie Fisher # **Easter Egg - Credit Roll Empire Link...

I noticed that the commentary for the 2006 Empire & Jedi DVD LE release includes Lawrence Kasdan but the 2004 & 2005 Special Edition Release does not. Is this a misprint? The commentary for A New Hope does not mention any new people. For those that have Empire & Jedi, how does the Kasdan...

Thanks Kevin and everybody else for your posts. I got the low end Monster $19.95 cable and look foward to my DirecTV being setup tomorrow. Even if I won't get DD programming most of the time, I might as well use Optical for the potential of better quality. The only other option for audio are the...

I just got a DirecTV system as well with TIVO, but it's the RCA model with 35 hours. I think it is basically the same as yours. I am going to buy an Optical Cable tomorrow for it to my receiver as well. What did you use for a cable and do you think it really matters much? I saw something online...

Thanks for your responses. I'll try to contact Panasonic and New Line about this and see what they say (Besides blaming each other).

Hello All, While watching Austin Powers Goldmember, pressing pause on the remote or the unit (Pansonic RP91) won't work. I get an icon in the upper right hand corner of the screen. A picture of a DVD I think. Everything else works fine (Fast Forward, Rewind, Chapter Skip, etc.) I put in a...

Thanks for the help Jeff. Since I haven't heard from anybody else, I'm guessing the theatrical version of the subtitles is recommended. I'll give it a try,

I can change subtitles, I just don't know which is which. It only shows English 1 and English 2. I'm guessing the less formal translation would be the theatrical translation? Anybody else who knows Anime have any thoughts on this? Thanks.

Hello All, I'm a newb as far as Anime. I think I've only watched the big ones like Akira, Ghost in the Shell, and Princess Mononoke. Recently I rented Metropolis on DVD but I have 2 subtitle choices for English. One seems more formal and the other seems a bit more casual. On the web it...

Thanks for all of your opinions. I really appreciate it.

Hello. I'm a big fan of The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert. I still remember watching it 8 years ago with my wife in the theater. I remember that this was an early DVD release in 1997 and I remember hearing something about a possible flaw in it. Can anybody confirm this and let me...

1. Star Wars (Theatrical, NON special edition) 2. Empire Strikes Back (Theatrical, NON special edition) 3. Return of the Jedi (Theatrical, NON special edition) 4. Raiders of the Lost Ark 5. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom 6. Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade 7. Lion King 8...

Hello Everybody, I just called the Disney number and expressed my concern about Snows Dogs and Muppets and a lack of widescreen on DVD. "Anita" was *very nice* and repeated back my comments that she would pass along to the marketing department. Basically she is passing along that I'm upset...

The phone line was closed so I sent a polite request to [email protected] to offer Widescreen DVDs or to include both on one disc. I also said I would not buy Pan & Scan. I'll give them a call tomorrow. Keep it up everybody!

Yes! I can't wait. Thanks for the info.

So many to choose, but here are a few that come to mind: Star Wars (non-special edition) Empire Strikes Back (non-special edition) Return of the Jedi (non-special edition) Indiana Jones Trilogy Jerry Maguire (Special Edition) Beauty and the Beast (Disney) Aladdin (Disney) Lion...

Thanks for your help. Do you know of a good place to buy the more current players that allow AC-3?

Hello, I never thought I would need Laser after I purchased my DVD player almost 4 years ago. However, I want the *original* non-special edition version of Star Wars in the best possible format and that will have to be Laser. Anyway, my dad gave me his hand-me-down Sony that was built in Oct...

Well...I'm not really "Worrying" about it. I'm just curious if there has been an official announcement about this *future* DVD being only a Special Edition version. I am very well aware that an Ep.IV DVD is several years away at the least. I think I remember hearing something about that from...

I thought I remeber reading that a Star Wars (Ep. IV) DVD will *only* be the special edition version. Can anybody confirm this and provide a link to a source. Thanks, I've heard a few people tell me different things.

Hmm. This sounds familiar. Anybody have any references about this. There's bound to be something. I want to know what I could be missing if I bought it. Or maybe it refers to an earlier Laser? Thanks for your help. Oops. I just read the post below. Glad it doesn't apply to the THX...

I'm sold. I'm buying the 1995 Laser THX Star Wars. You guys are the best. Thanks again for all of the help and information. Now, Han will *always* shoot first.

I've been able to find a Star Wars THX that was released in 1995 CLV. However, it is only Dolby Surround. The guy at the store said that he thinks there *is* a Dolby Digital Release of this as well but it comes as a set and is out of print. Can anybody confirm this? What non-Special Edition...

Thank you very much for all of the information. This is very helpful. I just realized that while I don't like the Star Wars Special Edition I don't think I mind Empire or Jedi that much. Anybody remember what all of the changes were? I think they enhanced the picture and sound and added the...

Hello, Unfortunately, I am resigned to the fact that George Lucas will never release a DVD version of Star Wars IV (A New Hope) in a non special edition version. (Greedo shoots first? Why? Why? Tell me dammit Why??!). Anyway.. as much as I love the movie, IMHO the Special Edition has too...
