Carol,
There seems to be a lot of confusion among retailers and dvd buyers on exactly what version has certain features and supplements. The fact is that there are three different cuts of this movie. The release of multiple different versions on videotape, laserdisc, and dvd haven't helped...
Hello Craig,
This is a debate that I have with other installers all the time. I'd say it's about 65-35 in favor or the dipole solution. This has lead to widespread confusion in the consumer marketplace.
All rear-center surround channel formats except one are matrixed decoded. That means...
Dan, I suggest that you get the Panasonic RV-26 player it's the best of the lot. Panasonic players in this price range have the most accurate color decoders and less noise. Did someone else hand pick these models out for you or are you limited in the amount that you are allowed to spend? These...
Brett,
You no longer have to suffer in silence, you can get the help you so truly need from a new prescription drug called PROZAC!
I like to call it "Better Living Through Medication".
Don't sweat it brett, it doesn't matter what we think because their your speakers and... hey wait a...
Luis,
Check out kenwood's website, they have a progressive scan 403 disc dvd changer (DV-5900) that list for $1500. It has the new "enhanced" version of the Sage/Faroudja chipset.
Hope this helps.

Hey Ronald,
I think UNIVERSAL should hire you to promote all of their new releases! :) I never got around to seeing the movie in the theater, so I had to wait until it's release on dvd. Your description was very detailed (I love details!) on exactly what you get. I only wish these studios...
Michael,
Check out the dish network homepage. They have a special for current customers that have been with them for at least a year. You may be able to get a Dish PVR 501 receiver with a built-in 40gb hard drive recorder for $199. They have two different offers. They only last till the end of...
Hello Robin,
Caution! (This gets pretty deep, and very technical)
Very Long & Drawn Out!
I apologize in advance if it's too much.
You have been warned!
Let me take a moment to explain something to you in detail about (wire/cable) construction. This is what you should look for in ALL...
Hello Perrin,
I get this question all the time from people who don't want to spend a fortune on speakers. I put together home theater systems as a side business.
Here's what I recommend under $1000:
KLIPSCH SYNERGY SYSTEM 6 (5-channel surround speakers + subwoofer)
Retail Price: $999 for...
Hello again Robin,
Well let's see here, the wire doesn't say that it's 75 Ohms, UL LISTED, or CL2 or CL3 approved. Well at least were off to a good start! O.K. let's get back to business. I suggest that you not install anymore of the wire you have because there are to many unknowns. I would...
Kevin,
All of the 6.1 & 7.1 Surround formats (music & movies) are "matrixed" except for one..... DTS-ES 6.1 DISCREET. There seems to be an awful lot of confusion about this lately. Any one disagree with that. To make it easier for those of you who have received a lot of mis-information about...
Tan, what exactly are you tring do do?
Do you have another sub that you want to hook up to the same single sub out?

Good Job Bobby!!!
I've been doing sales/installations for over 10 years and I can tell you I would have had a hard time assembling a better system for you myself! Good quality components across the board. When you get your DVD-audio or SACD player(my personal favorite) you will really see...
Hello Robin,
I've been installing satellite and cable tv systems since 1993 and I can tell you for a fact that the "U" designation on the RG-6U cable that you have refers to its application, not the insulation it uses. The "U" just means that it's meets all the requirements necessary to be used...
Hey Matthew,
Why don't you give theParadigm PW-2200a chance? I'm sure it would fill up your rear surround channel completely!
But seriously, I recommend you listen to the performance series ADP-70 surrounds and see if that maybe an option. I had a complete paradigm system about two years...
TextTastes good...

Bill,
DO NOT USE ROMEX WIRE!
Or any other type of data transmission line.(CAT-5) DO NOT use conventional speaker wire for this application. Using any in-wall wiring is a totally different ballgame. You can't just use whatever wire you have around the house. There are CODES that have to be...
The only problem with the loaded Denon DVM-4800 5-Disc changer is that it uses the progressive scan chipset from Genesis, the DVD-2800 use the chipset from Silicon Image.(Sil-503)(Best Progressive Chip Available). If the DVD performance is very a important factor, you may want to consider...
The Panasonic DVD-RV31 is about $180. Spend the 30 bucks. Tell your friend that's better performance than any player that he can buy under $200 period.

APOLLO 13 Collector's Edition
Available in separate Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS 5.1
*Widescreen Review among others consider it a reference quality disc and give it 5-stars for it's anamorphic widescreen transfer.(rare) They didn't find anything wrong with the picture at all. No edge...
John,
A few reasons why that might be problematic:
1. How are you going to compensate for the extreme shift in focus when you over emphasize that particular channel?
(Most home video releases are mixed with the lion's share of sound information encoded in the center channel already. I'm...
John,
I assume that you tried increasing the db level parameter in your receiver or processor surround sound level controls first. Right?

You think that you guy's have got it bad?
I just bought a $3000 dollar preamp/processor 4 months ago and I'm already looking to upgrade! I need some serious help. Any rehab facilities you could recommend would be greatly appericiated.
Chris,
You can spray any connector or wire with electrical contact cleaner sold almost anywhere. It's safe for use on everything from computer boards to contacts and switches. Spray the solution on a q-tip and try to clean the tiny connector on the toslink cable and then try it. DO NOT spray...
