email sent to D Norman with XLS file of LaserDiscs.

Sorry, no Japanese animation in my collection. BTW, thanks for the link on your posting to the LaserDisc Database. Dave

Sorry, I don't have any of those titles. BTW, what is TMNT? Dave

I have a collection of 159 Laserdiscs I'd like to sell but not sure how to go about marketing them. If anyone is interested, email me and I'll send you an Excel file of the entire list. There lots of good titles, Criterion, THX, etc. Most are feature films, some are music performances or cartoon...

there is a parallel thread on HTF regarding Aperion subs. Go here to read the dialog: http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htf/...d.php?t=156486 Dave

Mark, 1.8 gamma is really the odd man out in color space systems. 2.22 has been industry spec in broadcast for decades. All imaging devices (cameras, telecines, etc.) are designed to have the inverse of 2.22 or approximately 0.4545 gamma to compensate for the 2.22 gamma inherent in CRT...

I own Aperions: an S-12 sub, 532-LR for left and right front, and 533-VAC center channel. I use cr@p speakers for rear surrounds (some day I'll get good surrounds). The Aperions are fine speakers and reasonably priced too. Home Theater mag has a decent review of them here...

Jeremy, Thanks for that PDF. It clearly shows a lot of very useful info. To all, keep in mind that the large NTSC triangle on these diagrams is not what we now have. Rec 709 is essentially the same as the PAL/SECAM triangle and that is what we now have for both SD and HD displays in the USA...

Mark, the acronym I remember was Never Twice the Same Color, referring to NTSC's tendency to have hue shifts caused by the analog phase modulation of the color subcarrier being distorted during transmission. Thank goodness it's going away finally. Dave

More. Regarding NTSC. NTSC gamut does not really exist in practical displays. It can be reproduced on expensive pro gear used in DI theaters and on the few old color TVs from 1954-59 that still had the original NTSC phosphors but those are rare indeed and hard to keep in opperating condition...

There is a good tutorial on line posted by ARRI. ARRI makes motion picture cameras, motion picture film recorders, and has an extensive network of film labs and production equipment rental houses around the world. Here's the link: http://www.arri.com/prod/digital/dig...nion/ch06.html They...

Well, there are some fairly common real world colors that Rec 709 primaries cannot reproduce with any fidelity. Cyan is the worst offender. Deep Ruby Red is another. Emerald Green another. Real Cyan is a brilliant turqoise color and the closest that modern displays can come is a dullish pale sky...

Hi Joel, Does your problem look the same in HD and SD? Can you take pictures off the screen that illustrate your problem? If you can, try emailing them to me direct and maybe I can figure out a little more from those. My email is DCorbitt77 at comcast dot net. Dave

It's been several years since I posted that. I got rid of the RPTV a couple of years ago but not until I replaced the Fresnel element. It was etched somehow and that caused the blotchiness. I suspect it was mildew from the basement room I had the home theater gear in. Replacing the Fresnel fixed...

Hi Joel, I looked for published specs on this model and was not able to find an exact match. I was looking for the coordinates for the RGB primaries since it sounds like you might have a display with a Green primary that is a deeper green than the industry standard. This is not uncommon these...

Aperion has a free return policy if not satisfied. The flatness, power, and finish are exceptional, however, your space is huge and my own experience with my Aperion S12 may not fully translate to your cavernous room. My own theater room is smaller (12 x 14 x 8) than yours but my Aperion is the...

I recently bought an Aperion S12 sub and am very impressed with performance, power, and flatness of low end down to 20 Hz with little rolloff. Plus the cabinet is very nicely finished. With free return policy if you are not satisfied, this unit is not only a lot cheaper than comparables but...

I purchased a Yamaha PLX-500 a few weeks ago and am very pleased with the performance. Colorimetry is excellent (I measured it with a PM-5639 to see what the CIE coordinates are for RGB and to cal the gray scale tracking and color temperature). CIE coordiantes for RGB are equal to or better than...

Maybe someone can give me some advice. I have an older Toshiba RPTV with the usual Fresnel / lenticular combo screen. The screen has developed blotchiness which can be annoying during screening of anything. I took the screen off the set and opened the sandwiched Fresnel and lenticular sheets to...
