I saw the film last night, and I must say it impressed me with how much was stuffed into the movie. Of course, the other end of this is that we don't get closure on a number of story lines with the supporting cast. I was fine with all that but this one thing bothered me from a visual standpoint...
I am having a similar interference issue, but I am not sure how to solve it. The interference comes from my cable lines and only effects my HTPC output. The interference doesn't show up through my DVD or other video sources. I have tried re-cabling all the cable lines with shielded wire from...
I didn't see Gandalf's (Ian McKellen) Commentary either in that list. Why would they have Denethor commentary when he didn't even make it into the Theatrical Cut? I mean what is he going to offer?
I have a Yamaha HTR-5560 AV Receiver and for some reason it goes into "Protection Mode" (Turns itself off) for no apparent reason. This started about 3 weeks ago. Last week I took it in to be reapired at Tweeter (where I bought it) I received it back from the repair yesterday. The following...
Last night's episode was pretty good. Wyms strange connection to the dead old lady was a nice angle. And that junky that she arrested was downright freaky, very well shot in that abandoned building. I also really enjoyed the city coucil meeting with the chief and Lanie. It was just nice to...
I was also kind of disappointed in the "First Day" episode. For one, it really didn't show us anything new, aside from the senior detective and how he picked on Wagenbach. It was still a better episode than most other cop TV shows can muster. Not that I care greatly, but did they really need...
Is it possible or does anyone here know of some contraption that would allow my analog Sony camcorder to be downloaded to the computer? I have a bunch of events that I taped, and I was wondering if it was possible to record them to my computer for post production editing, and perhaps future home...
I am going to assume the contrast test has 4 boxes in the relative center of the screen and go from white to shades of grey. All you are looking to accomplish here is to have a noticable different in the shades of grey and white. Each box looks like a different combination of grey/white. The...
I am looking for a JBL HLS Center. If you have one and would like a person to relieve you of it, then please post and let me know your price. Other speakers in the series I might be interested in: HLS 410: 4" Bookshelf Speakers HLS 610: 6" Bookshelf Speakers
I have this sub, but an untrained ear. I think it was quite honestly one of the best additions to my HT setup. My HT area is not ideal (open along one wall) and this sub manages to fill the apartment with sound. I haven't knowingly experienced the "boominess" described above, but this was my...
I have read multiple threads concerning the 16:9 mode on 4:3 tv's. I am in possession of a Panny PT-51HX42 HDTV, and a Sony DVP-C670D DVD Player (Not Prog. Scan). I have it connected to the TV via a Component Video Cable. For some reason I can not select the 16:9 mode on the TV, and my question...
Hi Chris and Welcome to HTF, Problem 1. Sub... This is my opinion, but I think a 10" sub will do more than enough in your HT space. I have a 10" sub, and had to cut a deal with my neighbor to watch movies at reasonable hours. I was shaking things on her side of the wall. Problem 2. TV...
I just recently purchased a HTR-5560 two weeks ago. I wasn't initially looking to get a Yamaha product, but after demoing a few different receivers at my local Tweeter etc., the sales guy suggested I buy the Yamaha, go home and give it a test run with my set-up. (30 day return policy) I was...
Thanks folks for the responses. I will look into the meter and the AVIA disc. Radio Shack being the easier of the two to track down. I will probably order AVIA at amazon or something. From what I have read here, AVIA does video calibration as well. I suppose that should do for now. Thanks...
I have been reading here for over a month on various aspects of home theater setup, but a question remains. How much of this stuff applies to the person with mid-level to lower end stuff? For example, I live in an apartment, and have my home theater setup in an open space room, rather than a...
Once again last night's show leaves the viewer with so many questions to be answered. It's hard to discuss without giving away plot. As far as the official thread goes, we have a good start here but the thread topic is kind of mis-leading. I suppose this works though. Concerning Season 2...
