When referring to a character's "arc"? Thanks

What happens when you play DVD's that only have Dolby Digital track on an older ProLogic Receiver? Does it work?

My Hitachi Ultravision 50" is 6.5 years old, tuned with Video Essentials from day one (i.e. low contrast). Normal amount of use (few hours in the morning and evening). I had my first repair this past September - and a second just last week! Small things like blown resistor on the board, etc...

Agree with Ravi. RP-82

TWC has worked out great for me. Channels are great looking. Sports is very very watchable. And as someone pointed out, you have the high speed Roadrunner connection for PC's. As someone also pointed out, TW will work to improve your signal if you call them and complain. In a large market where...

Thanks for the replies so far. I only have about 200 or so CD's, so the 300 disk player is just right. Best Buy has the Sony 300 disk for ~$180, which is what's tempting me. I don't listen to CD's nearly as critical as I once did or as often. The kids use it way more than me. It probably won't...

Hi Bill I have had the Sony 7700 for a few years and also have a 6 year old 50" Hitachi Ultravision RPTV. Can you elaborate on the improved picture quality with the Panny? I'm in a similar situation: looking into a new big widescreen down the road, but thought until I got it a new dvd player...

My CD collection is a mess (kids, babysitters, wife,etc) due to too many hands messing with it. I am looking into one of those cd jukeboxes that hold 300-400 CD's as a way of consolidating and cleaning up the shelf. Any pros or cons?? Model suggestions?? Was in Best Buy (have never bought...

It was the S-video cable.

Thanks everyone, you are were a great help! It was the S-video cable. This forum is a great resource!

I just had my 6.5 year old Hitachi 50" RPTV repaired (would not turn on at all). Repairman found a board component fried and replaced it so the set works. Put in a DVD (color movie, not B&W) and only got Black&White on the TV. Feed is S-video from a Sony 7700 DVD player. Composite cable feed...

I have color through composite cables, so I guess that measn the DVD is OK. But the S-video cable ends look OK (no broken or bent pins). I hate to buy another S-video cable since I need about 12 feet and they're a bit $$. Is there some kind of S-video chip on the tv that could be bad? I...

Thanks. I'll have to get hold of some composite calbes and give it a try.

Its not the movie (Santa Claus). I've tried 3 movies I know to be color and none work. A repairman did come yesterday to fix the set. Before he came I had vcr on video in 1, and dvd in video in 2. He had them switched. I put them back to original (vcr video input 1, dvd video input 2) - still...

I've got a Sony 7700, put a movie on tonight, only comes through in black & white! TV is in color, so its not tv. S-Video cable from dvd to tv - don't have another to swap out - do S-video cables go bad??? Unplugged both ends of S-video (DVD player end and tv end), plugged in tight, no...

AOC - Also $9.95 at Toys R Us!!!

How do you pronounce anime?

Thanks for all the replies. For now I think I need to get a few more movies, then I'll jump into a series. I do like Sci-Fi/horror, but am not against comedy, drama, etc. Medievel sounds good also. Sounds like my next one will be between Akira, Metropolis, Vampire Hunter D, Princess Mononoke...

Upon some of your recommendations, I picked up and watched 'Ghost in the Shell' over the weekend for my entry into anime. I need to watch it again, since I'm sure I didn't pick up everything the first time. Any recommendations for an anime beginner as to where to proceed from here?

Spiderman Ghost in the Shell

Local Best Buy has a single copy of about 5-6 of the DVD's - a pretty good selection. All around $19.95

I second that - definitely enjoyed all the Baker/Ramana/K-9 episodes.

10/24-10/28 Starship Troopers Predator DTS Halloween (restored) Deranged/Motel Hell House Horror of Dracula Caddyshack SE Beauty and the Beast SE I've been overdue!

IMO one that is a must is 'Doctor Who - Five Doctors' Not only do you get Tom Baker but the other 4 top Doctors in the series!!!

I wnat to pick up 'Halloween'. I've noticed there is a: Halloween Halloween Extended Version Halloween Restored Opnions: Which do you prefer?

thanks for all the responses. I will take you all up on your suggestions. I have looked for some of these and find that alot are not available at the local hollywood video. Do you all own them or rent them (if so where)?. I went to the post where some of you were doing the October contest -...

Wow. I thought it was just Sci-Fi, didn't realize it was so all-encompassing. I will start with the recommendations. Thanks.

Any recommendations to someone who is trying to build up a classic horror dvd collection

Any comments on this Peter Cushing horror flick?
