Thanks for your responses guys. I'm getting a clearer picture now. Some suggestion I got as far as brand are: mackie, yorkville & jbl... i was also recommended on Community & EV speakers. Any comment on those? I'm looking for more best bang of the buck since we're on really tight budget. I'm...
Anybody can shed any light for me in this area? What is the biggest difference of the 2 types of speakers? I notice prof. speakers have more rugged cabinet. I'm asking because I'm looking for some new speakers for my church, I've been doing some reading & researching, and Bose came up...
Vince, So if you have IRman and learn Girder, you can basically use any IR Remote, such as the Home Theater MX-500, to control your PC? I'm still new at this, and still very unfamiliar w/ all the gadgets that comes w/ HTPC. Joel
For those using the Zoltrix Nightengale Pro 6 for the SPDI/F out, how is the AQ compared to standalone DVD player digital out? I don't really care about analog out, I just want a digital out from sound card w/ the same quality as standalone player. Or is that asking too much from PC sound card?
Count me in for a problem w/ Monster Song on DVD 2. And I have Toshiba SD4700. Surprisingly, I don't remember the layer change at the end to be that bad which is kinda a surprise for me since my Tosh is usually horrible for layer change. Joel
You know what, I got similar problems. My problem was close at the end of chapter 23, beginning chapter 24. One section it would even stopped my player from playing. And yeah, it's just in those section. The beginning & end of the movie play flawlessly on my DVD Player (Toshiba SD4700). And I...
Any of you have a problem playing this movie on Toshiba SD4700? It was having a problem playing on my Toshiba, it freeze here and there around chapter 24. After the fellowship is made, and during the journey. It get so bad that I have to forward a few chapter for it to play. It plays those scene...
Can any of you who got the DVD earlier tell me more about the $10 rebate for the 5-disc? How does it work? Does it work w/ pre-order? Between what date you have to purchase it? Any restriction? I'm planning to pre-order mine from Amazon tomorrow, but I want to make sure that the rebate will...
Anybody else think that most of the fighting sequence remind you of WWF? :D .. It feels like I was watching a super-charged WWF fight while I'm in the theater..
what are the title of those brand new DVD's? I never had any problem playing any DVD before w/ my 4700. The newest title I played on my 4700 is "Spy Game" I believe.
Thanks Ian. I'll keep my eyes & ears wide open on this. I'm looking of buying a multi-region & PAL->NTSC DVD player, but just not willing to spend $300 for the Malata now. 3-6 months is reasonable, so I'm hoping...
So this player will be manufactured by one of the major company like...
Ian,
You mean the Malata right? What make you so sure there's going to be cheaper player of Malata caliber in 3-6 months? Do you have inside information or just a guess? Share please... :)
David,
From my understanding, the incorrect stretching problem only exist for PAL anamorphic widescreen DVD on 4x3 TV. For 16x9 TV, you won't have that problem, but you will still have the non-perfect PAL->NTSC conversion problem.
Joel
That should be OK. Many recommend to run the amp for the Sub HOT and adjust the sub level from the receiver.
But regarding you feel the bass more now w/ the new setup, I think it's not because of the new setup, it's just you're playing the sub louder. Did you check that the sub is...
Hi guys,
Just want to update the situation. I'm currently dealing w/ a potential local buyer. If the deal falls through, I'll be willing to ship. Thx!
Joel
Thx guys,
I'm hoping to upgrade my TV to HDTV ready.. maybe in a year or so.. but Malata is still a little out of reach for me, I don't even spend that much on my main DVD player (Tosh 4700).
The next question would be how many PAL (anamorphic especially) DVD would I be interested in...
Hi Tulli,
Thanks again for your post, I think I almost got it now.. :)
Basically, on PAL DVD on my 27" NTSC TV.. if it's anamorphic 16:9 DVD, the picture will be stretched vertically and at the same time removing every 3rd line making it a bit squeezed. But if it's not anamorphic, then the...
Thanks guys for all your info, I'm starting to understand this stuff now... slowly.. :)
I'll take some more measurement this weekend and will keep you guys updated.
I'm not really looking to buy a BFD for now (no budget).. but will certainly look into it in the future, especially if there're...
Philip,
What kind of TV are you using? Are you using anamorphic or non-anamorphic PAL DVD? Is it possible for you to do a screen shot?
Tulli,
So you're saying non-anamorphic PAL DVDs will look better w/ my TV set? I think this is a case where a picture worth a thousand words.. :)
You say...
Tulli,
I Would love to get the Malata, but it's just not possible for me to do that unless I sell my Tosh 4700.
I know the Malata is the only one (for now) that does PAL->NTSC perfectly, but I'm wondering how much will I miss out on that by going w/ the cheaper ones. Is it unbearable to...
Hi guys,
I've been moving back & forth w/ the idea, but I think it's the wisest thing to sell my brand new 20-39CS+.. :frowning:
I bought the 2 20-39CS+ (SN 40 & 41) w/ S1000 package during the pre order time, thinking I would try and see whether I would need the 2 sub setup. I got the...
My bad... for some reason I had the impression that the SS & the Ultra use the same driver. From this thread, it seems like they would be different. How much different, I don't know.
