    Footloose Scenes/music

    Hi Jon, I believe you just solved the problem I was having!:frowning: I bet I was remembering the "Footloose" music video version and meshing that with my percieved movie version I remembered seeing back those many years ago. But I could have sworn now that I am thinking more about it that he...

    Footloose Scenes/music

    Hi Brandon & all the others, Then I must be merging two different movies with similar "themes" (i.e. "dancing" [or some other act] not being allowed, an "outsider" rebel lad comes and saves the day) because I could swear the music used when I saw that scene played was "different" but I just...

    Footloose Scenes/music

    Hi Brandon, Thanks for confirming Christian's answer (soundtrack CD does have song "Never"), but the real question is still unanswered, was it [always] "Never" by Moving Pictures or was another song used while running during it's theatrical release? Thanks, C. Brent Smith

    Footloose Scenes/music

    Hi Lanie & Christian, Lanie thanks for the possible suggestion, but I think Christian on a roll by suggesting "Holding out for a Hero" is used elsewhere in the film (I think its during the game of "tractor chicken" I'll have to listen to soundtrack for the song called "Never") I just wish I'd...

    Footloose Scenes/music

    Hi, I admit it's been awhile since I seen this movie first run, but I saw it on cable just yesterday, and I could swear they altered the music for the sequence where "Ren" (the Kevin Bacon character) is dancing in the empty warehouse. The music they were using just didn't seem to synch to the...

    sub wouldn't kick in....

    Hi Ted, My best bet is that your LFE output on the reciever where it doesn't work has been damaged somehow (Did you ever hear a large POP from your speaker(s) on the reciever possibly before the sub seemed to quit working? I had that happen it required have the LFE circuit to be replaced on...

    Default Home Page Problem

    Hi Royal, Hmmm, I never seen it act like that before. Try if you have a anti-virus program running in the background try disabling it before you have Microsoft perform the scan. The updates sometime have to make rather large modifications to the registry and your anti-virus program...

    Default Home Page Problem

    Hi Royal, Microsoft has determined that certain files need to be updated to keep your system in top form, it seems to force you going that site at least every 90 days (from my experience). Just let it run its "scan" and then choose to either install or not to install the recommended, thats...

    Reference DVD List?

    Hi Brent, I did a quick search and at this time there doesn't seem to be said list on any of the forums here. May I ask what you are looking for in a "reference" DVD (something to demo for friends & family in terms of image and audio quality)? I may have to look at the AVS Forums and see what...

    Timewarner Cable and Scientific Atlantica HD Boxes

    Hi, Sounds like your TWC vendor either just got a bad batch of units or there are other problems causing the failure. I've had my 8000HD for just over 6 months now with not a problem (yet! "knocking on wood" of course). Does your TWC vendor have any idea what might be causing the failures...

    Just Turned-on NEW RPTV: V-shape color distortion?

    Hi Dale, Do you have anything "heavy" sitting on the top of the set that could be bowing the screen either inwards or outwards slightly... also is the "V" shape distorting the image at all (pinching or otherwise) or just adding the rainbow effect to the picture? Have a good day, C...

    Video Insertion

    Hi, I think I understand what you are trying to do but I need you to clear up a few things. Can you explain what you mean by "I want to be able to see TV behind the graphics I am playing"? :confused: Does the computer you are using for the Powerpoint presentation have a either a TV Out type...

    What is your favorite scene in "The Final Countdown"?

    True that was a sharp scene as well, since Lasky was totally shocked about it as well. One thing I want to know if the two in the limo had anything to do with the "storm (i.e. "timewarp") in the first place (to make the sure the "loop" stayed closed)?

    What is your favorite scene in "The Final Countdown"?

    I have a couple of fav scenes in that movie... When the ship passes through the "time warp" (for lack of better term)and when the F-14's "play" with the Japanese Zero's coming near the the Nimitz.

    *** Official VAN HELSING Discussion Thread

    Hi, I don't read the comments of the naysayers of any film that was designed to be what I believe was pure escapist FUN. In my town there is this reviewer that has an obvious dislike for any movie that isn't "Citizen Kane" or it's ilk yet they'll let him review it and thrash it and wonder why...

    Price of N24II's at Best Buy

    Hi Nathan, There have been several threads about BB and web and in-store pricing. They claim it is a separate "entity" so they don't honor it unless you use the "store pick-up" option that was mentioned in previous post, having the website page printed out will not get you website price...

    MPEG sound question

    Hi Venee (& sridhar), That will only work if your DVD player passes through analog audio (i.e. a signal) through the RCA jacks at the same time, most DVD players I've seen make you do a switch in a setup menu, or if it does then the receiver won't accept both (unless it newer self-switcher...

    MPEG sound question

    Hi Venee, It looks like the audio was encoded in such a way that it not activating the DVD's digital output (it's somehow being read as "analog" mixdown) so only thing I can offer is to see if you can re-encode both the video and audio in a format that keeps everything in the digital domain...

    MPEG sound question

    Hi Venee, The MPEG audio is a digital format so unless you've got your DVD player connected via optical (or coaxial) audio cable and have the DVD player set to decode it (and the reciever set as well) then you won't be able to hear the audio. Possible other issues is that the audio was never...

    Image Quality Question

    Hi Greg, Have your properly calibrated the projector to your TV region's standard? It also possibly could be that the brightness is pushed way up and thus the DLP (this unit only has one) can't compensate fast enough for the brightness, motion and the colors it needs to represent at the same...

    WinDVD Users Help me get DD/DTS Passthrough

    Hi Dalton, According to what I read on the InterVideo support FAQ you also have to do some tricks with MS XP speak management. Click on the link below and choose "WinDVD" as "Product Name" and "Audio Card" as "Category". Then look for this in the FAQ that pops up. That should solve...

    Subwoofer Repair?

    Hi Jeff, I've scouted the back with a fine tooth comb, there unfortunately is no fuse. I am betting JBL planned for "obsolesence" or wanted to charge premium for a repair if it dies outside of warranty (which it is). There is no JBL service center in my area so would a normal stereo repair...

    Subwoofer Repair?

    Hi all, Looked over the sub from stem to stern... no fuse in plain view so I am assuming it doesn't have one. The model number in question is a JBL PSW-D112. Thanks for all the help so far, Brent Smith

    Subwoofer Repair?

    Hi Lee, So if the fuse is blown that would prevent sub from getting power at all(and thus prevent it from working at all)? Thanks, Brent Smith

    Subwoofer Repair?

    Hi, Given the cost of subwoofers is it smarter to just replace a damaged subwoofer or possibly get it repaired? The sub got a very high pitched "POP" twice from a digital audio source(watching an HDTV broadcast of a football game) and it was only after I was watching a movie with what I knew...

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: Star Trek: Voyager - The Complete First Season

    Hi, I liked the review and I am still on the fence as to whether or not I'll still pick it up mainly because of the price ($99 USD average for 62% of an average amount of episodes in a season) I was figuring Viacom/Paramount would have given us a break on the price this time Also does anyone...
