    Official Playstation 3 Blu-Ray player Thread

    I found a 60 gig at Target on Dec. 29th, but it is still in the box..... I know that I should have it hooked up and running, but I have a 52"XBR3 LCD on order along with the BDP-S1 and the STR-DA5200ES. I'm expecting delivery by the end of the month so it really not a problem.

    HD-DVD forum rejects Toshiba/NEC Blue Laser format

    Maybe I am just dense but the whole argument that HD-DVD has to have backward compatibility with DVD just does not make any sense to me. Most of us already have a DVD player, so we will just be adding another piece of equipment to our systems. As a Laserdisc owner I could have said that DVD...

    HD-DVD forum rejects Toshiba/NEC Blue Laser format

    I agree with Ricardo_C, if (Sony) Columbia - TriStar releases it's big gun titles in Blu-Ray at launch it will be a no brainer for all of us who are waiting for HD-DVD content for our displays. I never could get excited about D-VHS, IMHO it was a format (tape) who's time had come and gone. I...

    HD-DVD forum rejects Toshiba/NEC Blue Laser format

    Quote: "4. The reason that BluRay has NOT been submitted to the DVD forum is a political one. Warner owns royalties on the "DVD" name. That's why they want an "HD-DVD" name and that's why they want the DVD-forum to sanction it. If sony submitted their BluRay technology to the forum and it was...

    Sony Direct View vs Plasma

    I have the Sony KE-50XBR900 Plasma and the PQ is excellent. I get really tired of hearing that Sony Plasma's are crap and way behind other manufactures. Jim

    Does an ISF calibration void the Mfr. Warranty?

    I can only speak from my personal experience with Pioneer, ISF calibration does VOID the Mfr. warranty on Pioneer sets, with one exception the ISF technician must also be a Pioneer Authorized Service Company.

    Frank Herbert's DUNE Director's Cut Problem

    I thought that I should add that all 3 disc's were loose in the case and out of the spindle's, after inspecting the disc"s for scratches, none of the disc's showed any apparent damage. I have also tried Disc 3, Chapter 4, 9:51 on my DVL-91 and it also freezes at that point. This is the...

    Frank Herbert's DUNE Director's Cut Problem

    I just finished talking with DVD Planet about a problem with the 3rd Disc, chapter 4, 9.51, where the disc will pixelate and stop my Pioneer Elite DV-09. I can't even scan past that point, so I tried the 3rd disc in my Mac G4 dual 450, same problem at chapter 4, pixelates and freezes, the Mac...

    Help with HDTV choice..Please

    The locking into the full aspect ratio while using a progressive scan DVD player with the 510, 610 and 710 can be problematic if the DVD player does not have the ability to do scaling. This would only be a problem with non-anamorphic DVD's the image would appear distorted.

    Help with HDTV choice..Please

    The MSR of the PRO-510HD was $6300.00 so the savings with the floor model would be $2800.00. Pioneer did not increase the price on the new PRO-520HD which has a MSR of $6300.00. The PRO-510HD floor model should still have the full 2 year warranty, so that's good news. What is the manufacture...

    HD w/ Pioneer Elite 710HD

    Andrew, Sorry that I was not able to post a reply sooner, but Bruce is absolutely correct. The that 710HD looks great using the d15 sub-pin (RGB) with the DTC-100, I can only second the information that he already has given to you about the need for an oval dish, and a second LNB. If you...

    Pioneer Elite PRO-720

    Jim Benard wrote: "Is there some kind of trade-up or upgrade for people who have the 710's? Please let us know the details." Jim I wish was there was a trade-up or upgrade program from Pioneer, but after doing business with the same dealer for the past 15 years I have a very good working...
