I've had my 36XBR400 for quite a while now, and only this past weekend did I notice that the geometry at the very bottom of the screen is a bit off. While watching Fox news I notice the scroller at the bottom of the screen was unreadable. In the middle the the screen the scoller was fully...
I've finished re-wiring my rack of equipment in an attempt to tame the wire jungle and I've ran into a bit of interference that I never encountered before (with a semi-neatly wired system... i.e., "controlled" spaghetti). Here's the basic setup: A rack with every component on it, approx. 2.5...
Question for those familliar with the Sony STR-DB930. The receiver has 5 digital audio inputs (4 optical, 1 coaxial) labelled as such: MD/DAT Optical Out MD/DAT Optical In TV/Sat Optical In DVD/LD Optical In DVD/LD Coaxial In I currently have my DVD player connected to the DVD/LD...
Just a quick observation... The scene at the end with Chris in a bathroom with some other guy "worshipping at the porcelain altar", looked to me like he was in some sort of rehab center or something. Perhaps his talk with T earlier has made him want to get straight...
As a work around until they reenable downloading, they have added a way to download a backup file from the website. Go to My Profiler / My Collection You'll see a new option to download a backup file. I've been restoring the backup file on my work PC to keep it in sync with my home PC. No...
Hey, my one title says it shipped today (7/30), expected delivery on 8/2. Seeing how I added this "In Stock" item to my rental list on Sat. (7/27), I may get to actually rent two DVDs before the month is up... ;)
Actually, if none of my other titles even show up as in stock or shipped within...
No, actually it means that you can have up to two DVDs out at any given time, but you can rent as many per month as you wish... Of course this is impacted by the time it takes for the mail to return and send you new DVDs, as well as how fast the company can respond to your requests. I can't...
I decided to try out Number Slate this past weekend... the 2 DVD/$13.95 per month option. First two weeks are free so I figured why not.
Anyway, I've placed about 30 titles on my list and all most all of them are flagged as "checked out", some have a blank status, and only one of them says "In...
Not sure if this is really the style ofthe new 36XBR (similar to the current 40") or not:

Hopefully it will still fit on the Tech Craft stand I have for the 36XBR450...
Yes, Jim Matheos is the same one from Fates Warning... Totally different music on his solo albums, but his compositional skills still make parts of them familliar...
I have a couple of samples from both albums and one full song available for download at:

Other than many good ones mentioned before, here are some I would recommend: Steve Stevens - Flamenco-a-go-go (flamenco style guitar playing combined with some electronic/modern sounds) Billy McLaughlin - Fingerdance -or Out of Hand (similar in style to Michael Hedges, some pretty wild...
Even though it'd be hard to pick a favorite lyric from many of the people I really admire (Neal Peart, Jim Matheos, Fish, etc.) lyrically. I'd have to pick Kevin Gilbert's "Song For A Dead Friend"... Even though I've heard the song a million times, it never fails to make me cry like a school...
No, I don't work for Crutchfield...
Well, $2300 plus free shipping (and no sales tax) makes it a pretty good deal. At least compared to some other online places who were charging $1899 plus shipping, also since many of these places aren't Sony authorized I don't know how the warranty holds up...
I made a set of these for my current 27" TV (until I get my 36" Wega). They do make a big difference for watching widescreen movies.
I bought some black foam-core posterboard and cut it into two strips about 5" tall and the width of my TV.
I then took some black felt and glued it to the...
Yeah, I would be a bit worried about the scratching issue, although it seems like the Univenture (and other higher quality sleeves) tend to minimize that.
What would be ideal would be a rigid plastic sheet 8.5" x 11" with 4 jewelcase type spindles on each side. They'd take up a bit more space...
I was checking various options for condensing the storage space required for my DVDs and think that the 3-ring binder type approach may work out well (especially for things like The X-Files series).
I found these binders that should work great for this:
UniKeep Binders
but, I haven't really...
Although they are a bit pricier than the Jewel Sleeves product, these look really nice:

I'll have to check out the Case-Logic sleeves as well, because I think these are the only ones that can be stored in a three-ring binder. Which is sounding like the...
