    *** Official "CITY OF GOD" Discussion Thread

    I know that there's an official "City of God" review thread but this is not a review, so... I'm just sharing with you guys my joy of seeing the 4 nominations the movie got. Right before starting this thread I read the reviews here and was shocked at the positive reaction from people, I never...

    Thanks Greg! Russell, I'm thinking if I should look at that page while I type...hummm, I can't resist but thanks anyway. I'll never be able to say you didn't warn me. André

    What is edge enhancement on a DVD?

    I just finished watching Pirates Of The Caribean (and all the extras). Ten minutes before I started watching I went to the archives to check out the review and yes it is a awsome DVD. One thing I curious though is the "edge enhancement" mentioned by the author of the review. What exactly is...

    tone control for movies

    My receiver doesn't even allow bass and treble settings to be changed while in DD, DTS or PLII mode. Only while in stereo can I adjust bass and treble.

    Opinion on The Sopranos for a blind buy

    If you have the money I would suggest you buy all 4 seasons at once if the price on the package is at a significant discount. Face it, if you buy the first season you'll end up buying all of them anyway so...

    Installation problems...help me help my friend!!! DENON AVR-1804

    Nice to know that some subs take a while or a stronger signal to get going. I'll tell my friend that since he was worried that there could be something wrong with the sub. Now, just out of curiosity, how does the whole Y adapter thing work? In my case my receiver has a single LFE output which...

    You've gotta love Oliver Stone

    Kind of going back to the original subject... Do you guys think that Oliver Stone damands a commentary track on these DVD's? I would like to know if there are any of his movies on DVD that do not have the commentary track.

    Installation problems...help me help my friend!!! DENON AVR-1804

    Steve, thank you for your offer. I'm almost through the manual so by tomorrow I might have more educated questions for you. As for the Y adapter....well, the only thing I know is that his Sub takes a little too long to recognize a signal and turn on but that happens with or without the Y...

    help from the few with time & inclination please

    Well, from looking at your list I can tell we have different taste in movies so it makes any sugestions harder. In general I can feel the absence of Al Pacino movies in your list, maybe you could consider one of those for your 200th. Regards, Andre

    Installation problems...help me help my friend!!! DENON AVR-1804

    Wahat exactly is the difference between the A/B speakers and the zone 1/zone 2 speakers? Can you have everything hooked-up to speakers even if only using a 5.1 setup? For example, 5.1 speakers (A speakers I supose), 2 other speakers (hooked to the B speakers) AND another pair hooked to zone...

    The Day After - Any Movement?

    Just rented it! Had to look around though, I could only find it in a kind of decadent VHS rental place that has two dozen DVDs. Yep, PQ is bad, probably same as watching it on network TV with a very good reception. The soundtrack is 2 channel DD English with Portuguese, English or Spanish...

    My friend just got married and moved into a new apaertment and bought his HT equipment from this store which also took care of the installation process. He doesn't know much about electronics and I wish he had consulted with me before buying the products, but anyway... The guy sells him a...

    The Day After - Any Movement?

    This forum neves ceases to amaze me. I watched this movie as a kid and it shocked me at the time but I remember I loved it and have always wanted to watch it again, preferably on DVD. I looked in several places in the US like Amazon, Barnes and Nobles etc... a couple of years ago and could...

    You've gotta love Oliver Stone

    Alistar, That being said, how are the special features on the JFK DVD? That might be an interresting one since he might talk about some facts of the assassination (right or wrong) and how he came accross them. As far as being one of the best directors around, no doubt about that.

    You've gotta love Oliver Stone

    This guy apparently knows what we like. I was watching my Special Edition "On Any Given Sunday" last night for the 100th time with the director's comment on, this is in my opinion one of the best if not the best extra feature a DVD can have. After watching that I remembered that I had a "Wall...

    where to put the sub

    Mine sits behind the TV stand about 1 inch from the wall and has the port and the woofer facing left since the left wall is farther away that the right wall. I used to have it in the corner facing front but I decided to try it like this and the result is better. The only thing I made sure of as...

    Khoa, SC Village is supposed to be the best place in the US right? From what I read that's the home of many great teams like the Ironmen.

    Nice! I've seen a couple of posts about paintball here but they were kind of old. I've been playing since I was 12, that was 1991. I played for 4 years straight than went on a break and decide to come back 4 months ago.

    Maxim magazine

    Never really cared for the articles but the photos are usually very well done. Only have a mild interrest in it because they sponsor a Paintball team and throw some nice parties at some tournaments. I thik I'll start a thread on paintball by the way...

    What is a sindicated show? How does the industry work?

    Well, being that English is my second language I have never understood what a sindicated show is. Probably because I do not live in the US I also don't have a knowledge of how the TV game works over there so here is my question. What is a sindicated show? Why do people always mention that a show...

    Can someone translate (interpret) the specs for my receiver?

    I know it might sound stupid but I would like to have an idea of the real power of my receiver just for kicks. There is a nice example on the Primers of how the numbers that manufacturesr put out are "manipulated" and there is even an example with an estimate on what the real power would be...

    I posted this a while back... http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htfo...hreadid=136982 and it turns out that the Rock Partners where not as new as I thought. The moment I touched the foam around the woofers it just desintegrated. Both of the woofers now have cracked foams. So, I e-mail AR...

    Should I add this old CD player or just stick to my DVD?

    Right now I have a Pioneer DVD hooked to my receiver in my bedroom and that's what I use to listen to CD's. I have an old Technics 5 disc CD player, probably 13 years old or something just lying around. I don't know the model number but it's one that opens the entire fron panel when you press...
