Okay, time for a bit of a backstory. My father, impressed with my Z2 and 100" Carada screen setup has a bit of home theater envy. He stumbled across an older Pioneer RPTV unit and got it for dirt cheap (and I mean cheap) because it has some odd defect in the lower left corder. He picked it up...

I recently upgraded from my Pioneer VSXD-810S to a Pioneer Elite VSX-49TX. Yes, I know, quite an upgrade. The question I had, though, was on the back of the 49TX, there's two subwoofer pre-out jacks. Has anyone experimented with this? I know it's probably overkill, but hey, they wouldn't...

I picked up the widescreen version at Circuit City today for $17.99. They had a large display setup with the price prominently displayed, and stocked full of widescreen. So, for those still wondering, the widescreen rings up as $17.99 in store. Had to hunt around to find an Evil Dead...

A lot of Buena Vista titles use seamless branching in combination with the various audio tracks, hence the inability to switch audio tracks on the fly with a number of Buena Vista titles. Try loading up From Dusk Til Dawn with the French audio track, and you will noticed a new title screen...

I've only had a problem with the so called DVD "ROT" with one title. It was Pee Wee's Big Adventure. It happens after the layer change and the movie pixellates horribly on my Pioneer DV-525. On a friend's PS2, after the layer switch, the movie dies and the PS2 pops up an error saying the disc...

My reply is concerning the replacement of defective discs in general. So far, it seems that I have two discs that no longer seem to play, after working fine after their initial purchase. These are Pee-Wee's Big Adventure and Predator DTS. Both now display image breakup (pixellation) and...

When I first picked up this title, I watched it and everything seemed O.K., and this was back in Janurary. Some friends came over on Tuesday (weekly movie day), and we all decided to pull out Predator. Around the beginning chapter 6, when Dutch is crawling into the commando camp, it just...

At first, I couldn't find Empire of the Sun or Doctor Zhivago at my local Circuit City. Neither were in the "New Releases" area. So, I took a look over in the "Drama" area, and both were to be found. It seems my Circuit City has a habit of putting titles they don't consider "big sellers" in...

I had the same problem. The flap holding the first disc had broken off and the the first disc itself was loose in the case. It seems to happen quite often. Whenever I travel out on street dates to pick up discs, I make sure to turn the case upside down and other trials to try to make sure I...

Just got back from my weekly lunch break DVD hunt. Seems that Circuit City has plenty of the older releases of CTHD, Desperado, and Fifth Element in the new releases area, but not a single Superbit title. Checked Target, Walmart, Kmart, Suncoast, & Sam Goody with no luck in finding any...

I just got a chance to watch my DVD last night and came across this on the second DVD. If you put in the second DVD of Hannibal, go to the "Breaking the Silence" documentary. Hit down on your remote until you highlight the "Music" chapter, and then press left on your remote. It will highlight...

My local Circuit City didn't have a single copy in stock. When I asked a sales person, they were like "Goonies what?" They checked the book and they had no record of it coming out today and no idea when or if they would receive any. I took a trip to the Target next door and they had a space...

Did my weekly price comparisons at Circuit City, and all they had there were the Widescreen. Though, they didn't even have Goonies listed as being released today, so I had to drive around town to find it. During the drive, it seems that Target carries both Pan & Scan and Widescreen of Silence...
