Got Ya! Thanks and Happy Holidays!! :D Tom

Thanks that's what I thought. I told the salesman bascially what you said but he insisted that it would somehow get rid of the bars. it's my understnding that you actually get a higher resolution as a result. Happy Holidays!! Tom

So it really doen't get rid of the bars at the top and the bottom of the screen correct?? Thnaks Tom j.

Hi well I'm still putting a little away every payday toward a new Hi definition TV hope to get one early next year. Well in the meantime I think I want something for the bedroom so I was thinking about getting a 27-inch with the latest inputs component, Svhs. I heard about V-compression while...

To Chris Wiggles, Hi Chris, well you answered it best for me at least. Most of the DVD (sorry for saying CD's) that have the enhansed for widescreen tv's on them appear to have been shot in the 1.85:1 aspect ratio that would appear to be pretty close to the perfect fit you mentioned 1.78:1...

Thanks for the help guys I read the info you suggested. But back to my original question if the CD says that it's "enhanced for widescreen tv's" does that mean that it's in the 1:78:1 aspect ratio or if not what exactly does it mean "enhanced for widescreen" Thanks I'm getting there. Tom j.

Hello considering purchasing a widescreen tv but have become confused with the dizzying array of aspect ratios. If a DVD movie states on the box that it has been enhanced for 16:9 Tv's does that mean that here won't be any black bars appearing at the top to and bottom of the screen. And when...

Thanks Frank think I'll go back and check them for bass and treble, say Frank were you ever able to correct the problem and listen to them flat? Really curious as to what you think. Also at least in the BB by my home the JBL's are in the adjacent room maybe if you're there again you could...

Thanks Frank yep I really was impressed went out and looked at them again. Plan on finding a local retailer so I can bring some of my own music for comparison. I also thought considering, the bass as very good, as for the Monster Cable I really don't what to get into that debate but I know cable...

Wow just saw and heard the new Yamaha's at Best Buy today and I must admit I was really impressed, before you say it I know about the poor listening conditions there but the sound was really very impressive and these things are gorgeous!!! Makes me wonder what they would sound like with some...

Hi John I just ordered one of these myself the 1082. Now that you've had it a while how would you describe the sound quality on two channel music? hoping I made the right decision on this one Cnet really liked it and I couldn't find one to audition so I based my decision largely on there review...

Ok then guys how about interconnects are there any differences there? Need some with standard RCA ends how do the Monster Interlink References compare to the Audio Quest Coral/CQ's??

I believe the gauges are different between the two. I know the GR8 is 10 gauge, I'll have to call Monster and find out what the Clear Jacket is they don't mention it on there web sight but it doesn't look like it's 10. Tom j.

Hello wondering if anyone could compare the sonic differences between the new Monster cable "Clear Jacket" speaker cable and the "Audio Quest GR8" just wondering which one might be considered better. I currently have the Clear Cable by Monster but I picked up an issue of Sterophile magazine and...

Thanks Michael I'm going to go right over there, say only reason I made this post was last time I checked I thought nothing was posted concerning this deck but I guess I was wrong o-well. Thanks! Tom j

Say Joe can all DVD recorders record on dual layer media or is this so new that you have have to check to make sure of this capability. Also what does your instruction manual say about this feature could you please quote from the manual. I think I'm sold on these things now what to do with all...

Hi guys say quick question there are a lot of dual layer prerecorded dvd's I assume the dual layer is for extended playing time are these (and don't laugh please) recorders able to record on two layers or is all the media available for recording single layer. Thanks Guys still a little new to...

Hi I've been thinking about this deck for the last couple of weeks. I was thinking about purchasing a new SVHS recorder but with the prices of these decks and the media!coming down now I'm kind of leaning towards a DVD recorder. The least expensive decent one in my opinion would probably be the...

Just had to take a minute to say how impressed I am with this sight!! I saw this receiver (VSX 41) on ebay and wanted some additional information for a friend so I turned to, you guessed it HTF and got all the necessary information. You guys are just great! been a member just a few weeks and...

Quote...I put in a vote for the N38's. I got them from jandr.com a few months ago for 279/pair shipped and am very pleased.] Marcel_V Say Thanks Marcel BIG :D that's a great! I found them for I believe 114.00 a piece but there was also 30.00 dollars shipping, so I guess you save a few bucks...

Quote...I think you're making a wise purchase; they're great speakers. But we agree to disagree about auditioning speakers--what they sound like in BB, or even in a dedicated listening room at MomAndPopAudio or SwankyBoutiqueAudioShoppe, bears little resemblance to what they'll sound like...

Quote...First of all, you simply can't tell how a speaker sounds from an audition at BestBuy. Second, you'll never know if the speaker works for you unless you bring it home and audition it.] Granted Angelo but you can get a darn good idea what you like and what you don't like and for...

Quote..When I had my JBL NSP1's in my Main HT/family room (now @ my vacation house), the mid's were outstanding and the Grand Piano acoustic sound Bob James, Dave Grusin, Joe Sample & David Benoit Music CD's were as impressive as my personal 6' Yamaha Grand Piano!!! Now that's impressive, and...

Hello I'm trying to decide on these JBL N38's they really seem like a nice speaker. I heard some in Best Buy the other day and after a little research found them on the web for a considerable saving. The only thing on the ones I heard the piano seemed a little harsh wondering if it was the room...

I have a pair of these how do you like yours and what do you think about the base I love the mid range. Tom j.

Wow Larry I'm going to have to check out the The Panasonic DMR-E30, Would you recommend it, and have you been completely satisfied with it. Thanks Tom j.:D

Thanks to all that replied I definitely going to look into Dishes PVR 507, and I might even consider a DVD recorder. I really had been considering a 507 all along because like Robert I wanted the ability to do some archiving. Just saw Reginald post which states that recoding time is up to two...

Hello considering buying a super vhs to complement my new Dish Satellite system. The set top box that comes with it really makes recording convenient. I was just wondering what to expect in terms of clarity and noise when compared to DVD’s. Also who makes the best super vhs recorder and what...

What exactly is DVI?? and what do the letters stand for. Thanks. Tom j.
