How much chipmunk could a woodchipper chip if a woodchipper could chip chipmunks? Couldn't resist... sorry.

Thanks... hard to believe I could run multiple searches on AVS and not find that thread..... Appreciate you posting back with the link. Bryan

Would you happen to have the link to that thread on AVS. I have run a search and not come up with much. Thanks

I too would like to know anyones experience with these screens as I am considering purchasing one.

I too like B5 Intros, nice change every season. Worst: Has to be the title sequence to the original Buck Rogers in the 25th Century Series Pilot in the 70s. It was significantly shortened after the pilot and left out the 70s women lounging in seductive poses sort of BOND routine.

The "Age of Consent" largely applies to sexual activities with another individual who is not in a position of power/authority. Hence in the case where the Age Of Consent is 14, a 14 year old CAN consent to having sexual relationships with anyone EXCEPT those in a position of authority such as...

I had no desire to weigh in on this but here goes... Pedophilia is defined as an attraction to pre-pubescent children (her actions would not count as this). Hebophilia is attraction to Post Pubescent Adolescents. If the indcident is one off it is likely that she is neither of the above...

From what I have read, the IPOD battery can be replaced though it requires a little bit of work. The battery and the tool can be had easily on the net. Just before I bought my 20 gig unit I did a search on the IPOD battery and found there were many online sellers advertising replacement...

I personally like the glass bottles as the pop doesn't end up tasting like aluminum or plastic. Fortunately the Costco nearby routinely sells the 237ml (8 ounce) skinny glass bottles of the "real thing" (Coca-Cola Classic) in cases of 24. However, they are more expensive but SO much better than...

If you have an Ikea near by, they have a good selection of Poster Frames.

The GX69ES may be old, but it is a very nice sounding receiver for plain old stereo listening. I have an old STR-GX67ES for a second system and am not the least bit interested in parting with it. The GX69 is the same unit rebadged for the following year, in fact if you look on the board inside...

I have the PSB Stratus Silvers and use an Anthem PVA7 amplifier and my Sony STR-DA5ES as a preamp. I use four of the channels on the PVA7 to biamplify the Silvers and I run one pair of surround speakers off the DA5ES. The bilamplification has worked out well for me and I am very pleased with the...

I ran the unit for a few days before the firmware arrived and I too had dropouts on the digital audio as well as other flakiness during that time. I applied the firmware and it has worked perfectly since. I believe they are on the third firmware update (don't quote me on this). If you haven't...

My unit had more wrong with it as it was blown microchips that had caused my tray to go screwy, not loose discs. I believe the retiming was about an hour of labour, if that. Not too bad, considering the cost of the machine to replace. In your case, they would know exactly what was wrong and...

It will likely be fairly reasonable to fix provided that the tray did not damage the laser when it hit it. It sounds like just the tray needs to be retimed. I just had this done to my 5 disc audio player, it wasnt very expensive.. Regards

I have the HK DVD-50 and have been VERY happy with it. I recently got it at a close out for $450 canadian. When I first used it, it was a little buggy but upon loading the most recent firmware, it worked flawlessly. It has a really nice picture and fantastic audio reproduction (sounds great...

Success. My Unit is now at Version 1.74. I had the wrong cable. Made the right one and the upgrade went without a hitch. Thanks everyone for the input Regards

I have been trying to make this work and am having problems. First of all, it says to disconnect the power supply of the amplifier. What did anyone here who it worked for do and can you please explain what you unplugged (if anything). Second of all, please post what cable you used. Is just a...

I agree with the troll-ish statement. Why would someone go to this much trouble to "fix" it himself when it would be under warranty (5 Years in the USA, 3 Years in Canada). Doesn't add up to me... I had one of these and it was quite a good receiver. I now have the DA5ES and am even more happy...

I am assuming that this reciever is a vintage 1991 or so. I worked for Sony at the time and many units in the X70 line had issues with bad cold solder joints. Among other things, this would cause the reciever to go into protect mode. Essentially, it is likely that the unit needs to be sent in to...

Greetings! Can anyone offer more information on this firmware update for the DA5ES. Specifically, the service bulletin number would be helpful. I live in Vancouver British Columbia and Sony Of Canada is saying that they cannot locate this update. I too am experiencing the DTS ES Discrete issues...

It is good to see a decent discussion on this receiver. After owning this unit for 1 month, now I have to say that I disagree with Tommy (no offence intended) with regards to the sound of this unit. I do agree with some other posters that its sound on music is not as good as its sound on home...

I too have a STR-DA5ES and am VERY impressed with it. To answer the question of the last post, yes, the digital inputs are assignable to any input. I believe the only exception is the phono input. Regards

Michael: To answer your question , the GX67ES is 10-11 years old. I bought it when I was still working for SONY. The GX67ES is a fantastic piece with excellent sound on 2 channel stereo. I have kept it because it doesn't have much of a feature set in comparison with more recent receivers...

Yes, I have used the equalizer for all channels. I recommend using the on screen interface when doing this as then you can see the what you are doing across the spectrum instead of just looking at numbers. To answer another question, yes, as far as I can tell, the DA5 does have the full PLII...

I have been using S-VIdeo pass-through for both Sat and DVD ( I don't have a TV with component inputs yet). I had read something about this potential issue and was watching for it. So far I have seen no problems with the S-Video.

Hello! I just picked up a STR-DA5ES this week and and am blown away by it. This is my fourth ES receiver and by far the best sounding in all regards. (Previous Units: STR-GX67ES still have this one, STR-GA8ES + SDP-EP9ES and last but not least the STR-V555ES). I have noticed a number of...

I too have a Panasonic DVD player (RP91). The skipping you are describing is probably not skipping as per say, but is likely related to the encoding method you are using to encode your MP3's. I am not 100% sure what encoding causes the problem, but the majority of the problems I have...

I have done some checking on this and at first glance, it appears that the units are identical. If you look on the Yamaha website and look at the online manual in pdf format, it is apparent that the manual for the S1200 is IDENTICAL to the manual for the RP91 (with the exception of the pictures...
