Nope. The DVD player is connected directly to the TV.

I bought a Philips 727 about 3 weeks ago after reading some good things about it here and elsewhere. For the most part, I like it a lot. However, there's a flicker or "pulsing" effect on the image for the first several minutes every time I turn it on. This happens even while the player is...

Bob-- I do? :) The website is showing no PMs for me. :frowning: If you have an extra copy, I most likely DON'T need it now. I ordered one from www.gohastings.com yesterday, and got a shipping confirmation this evening. So, fingers crossed, it should be here by the end of the week...

Some of the R1s for sale on eBay have most certainly been bootlegs, but a couple appear to be legitimate releases that have slipped through the cracks. Jason

Yeah, I've looked at eBay, but I don't think I'm willing to pay $150 for a legit R1 copy just yet. :) If worse comes to worst, I will just rearrange my AV setups, and hook up my region-free player in the rooms where we'll be watching the Oscars. It's a hassle, but definitely not a hassle worth...

Yeah, what's up with the hostility toward me by a couple of people in this thread? I clearly stated why I was in a "rush" to get it, and, yes, the "rumor" that some have been released has now been confirmed. If you don't believe it, that's fine, but there's no reason to question my motives for...

"The DVD was pulled until June - no copies have been printed yet; the only versions available are the R2, 3 and 4 DVDs." I KNOW that it was pulled until June--that's why I started this thread. Copies HAVE been printed, though, and some have slipped through. There have been confirmed reports...

Because I don't have a multi-region DVD player hooked up in the room where we'll be watching the Oscars, and I don't want to have to rearrange my whole AV systems unless absolutely necessary.

Rumor has it that some Walmarts have already begun selling copies, even though it's officially been pushed back to June. I have not, as of yet, been able to find one, though. Also, I've heard that some military exchanges already have it available, strangely enough. This is starting to look more...

As I stated in an earlier post, I recently bought a Philips 727 DVD player to use in my bedroom. I'm looking to get some sort of VERY basic 5.1 system for the room. I don't need anything fancy. I've been looking at the under $250 set-ups that Radio Shack and Best Buy offer. Here's my question...

Ah. That would explain it, then. Thanks! Jason

OK, maybe I'm misunderstanding something here, or I'm just a clueless dope, but I just bought a 727, and I popped in the LORD OF THE RINGS: FOTR extended edition. When I select the DTS audio track, I get NO audio at all. Same with the DTS track on OPEN RANGE. I don't have a separate receiver...

Have there been any rumors about MGM releasing Sam Peckinpah's RIDE THE HIGH COUNTRY on DVD? With all the other westerns and catalog titles they've been releasing lately, it seems odd that this one is still sitting on the shelf.

I've read some great reviews of this movie, but I missed it when it played briefly in L.A. a couple of years ago. I can't seem to track down any info regarding a DVD release. Any help would be appreciated!

I noticed that this website has started popping up with some great prices on DVDpricesearch.com but I can't seem to find out much information about them. Their website is lackluster (no cover scans, few specs, etc.), but some of their prices are hard to beat (i.e., the Sinbad 3-DVD pack for...

What's even more frustrating is that Columbia won't just come out and clear up everyone's confusion. It's nearly impossible to get anyone from CTHE to answer an e-mail, and even when they do, it seems to be a form answer. Someone from Columbia MUST know that there's a lot of frustration among...

I'm still a bit confused about all of this "anamorphic pan&scan" terminology. I have a regular 4:3 TV. If I change the settings on my DVD player to "4:3 letterbox" on A MIDNIGHT CLEAR (assuming it IS, in fact, "anamorphic pan&scan"), how will it be displayed? In widescreen, or in this...

DVD Empire has it listed as 1.33:1, but Amazon and Image Entertainment list it as "widescreen." I pre-ordered this from Deep Discount DVD, but now I'm concerned that I be getting a cropped version. Can anyone confirm the aspect ratio of the DVD from Wellspring/Fox Lorber that comes out next...
