I haven't purchased a blu-ray/dvd player in many years and I know the technology has really moved along. I see that many of the players have built in apps like a Roku box. But do any of the players have an actual web browser? My TV in my family room does not, so it would be nice if we could...

Thank you for taking the time to try and answer my question.

Thank for the response John. I should probably have been clearer. I have one goal, to have a separate center channel for dialog. We end up having to turn the volume up and down constantly because we are losing dialog. I *think* having a center channel should help with that, instead of mixing...

I have a (somewhat) older JVC 37" TV in the family room (JLC37BC3000). It has 2 audio choices for the optical audio, PCM and Dolby Digital, no HDMI out. My current soundbar is 2.1 but I really want a center channel for dialog. I'm looking at a Samsung 3.1 soundbar. However, I don't know (and...

I was looking at the Yamaha RX-V379 receiver which looks like a good deal at that price point. However, the connectors are only the old spring clips (which frankly seems kind of dumb to me), and I have all my speakers with banana plugs. I would hate to have to redo that. Is there such a thing...

I need an opinion, not so much about a TV but about the deals available soon. I am looking at a Samsung UN65JU6400 4K set which I can pick up at Fry's for $1,200. My question: Are we now heading into the clearance season and I'll see better deals in the next several weeks? I don't shop AV...

By darker, I mean in night scenes you can't see *anything*. No point in arguing about it, if you don't have a suggestion as to why two very similar Blu-ray player work very differently, then you don't. I'm moving closer to throwing out my old TV. I *hate* to put perfectly servicable...

It does. But it was not properly implemented. The DVI is darker than the component.

I have an old Sony LCD TV in my family room that has no HDMI inputs. To get it to work with a Panasonic BT220 player, I got a converter box from Amazon. It worked fine. But my BT220 failed so I tried to hook up my older BT210 to the converter box. It didn't work, there was just noise. So I...

Thanks!!!!

Ok, so I have a DVD player, a cable box, and an old VCR. Do I hook them all up to the soundbar? Or do I just output the sound from the monitor to the soundbar? Thanks! Donald

I have to ask a super dumb question. I'm going to be getting rid of old speakers and with my new setup the spacing will be tight. So I thought of a soundbar. Can you hook one up to a receiver? My sense is not since the soundbar/woofer has it's own power source, but the receiver has much more...

I hate to put this all in one post, but I don't want to bore you guys to death either with post after post asking noob questions.   I'm finally about to bite the bullet and dump the VCR and the CRT TV. Actually I've had a DVD player for many years, but still used the VCR to record TV...

I'm looking at 37" LCD flat panels. I've looked at the new 120hz Vizio and the Samsung LN37B550K1F. Any recommendations or links to useful reviews? Thanks so much! Donald

Thanks guys, hadn't thought of Overstock. Looks like they do have a few. Appreciate it. Donald

Yes, I know, you think I'm crazy. But I want to watch some old VHS movies on my portable DVD player when I walk on my treadmill (I have an adapter cable for the AV input). Quality is not an issue, but need something that will play VHS tapes. Don't really want to buy a combo unit and don't really...

I have a friend who has a new 37" 720p LCD monitor (Vezio) and is very set that his DVD player has to be upconverting. Does it make a lot of difference in a lower priced unit like the Samsung Model DVD-HD870C? I read through several posts about upconverting DVD players but I didn't see this...

Hey Chris, thanks for checking. No I don't own the speakers. A friend of mine is considering a system with them being sold at Costco. Denon, there is no question about the quality of the electronics, but speakers? Can't find out, and that doesn't bode well. Again thanks. Donald

I'll weigh in in the Fluance debate. About 3 years ago I spent many, many hours researching what I considered to be a reasonably priced HTIB system. At that time Fluance seemed to be the best deal for the money. I got the Dayton 100w sub to go with them as many people did at that time. They do a...

I cannot find the specs for the loudness of the speakers in this system (i.e. how many db). From Denon I'm surprised they wouldn't have it. It's not in the manual online either. Yeah, I suspect that if they don't have it, it's not good news. But still it would be nice to know. Anyone know where...

First, thanks for the feedback. Second, I wasn't very clear. The unit works fine, hasn't broken down or anything like that. But it has trouble playing about 20% of the disks, especially if they are rentals like Netflix or Blockbuster ones that have been around for awhile. It's not the disks...

I have a friend who has had horrible problems with a Toshiba DVD player. She wants to get a basic progressive scan DVD player that will play everything she gets from Netflix. Speed and features are not that important, reliable playing of disks is. Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Donald

Yesterday I watched a movie with no sound problems. Today I turn my system on and I'm getting a nasty staccoto sound coming from my center channel and rear surrounds through my Fluance speakers. If I switch to stereo, the problem goes away. I've tried different DVDs with the same result. I...

I'm running into a weird thing. I'm trying to get all give seasons of Midsomer Murders. But it seems like seasons 2,3 and 5 are widescreen and season 1 and 4 are full format everywhere I look, including Overstock, Deepdiscountdvd etc. Does anyone know if all 5 seasons are available in...

Hey Steve, thanks a whole bunch, it's really, really appreciated. Donald

So should I just call a tech first, then discuss it with customer relations when they give me the bad news? Or should I call customer relations first? Thanks for the input, I really appreciate it. Donald

Jeremy, Dang, I was afraid of something like that. Since the bloody thing is out of warranty, I guess it doesn't matter who repairs it. So my next question is, does anyone know someone in the Los Angeles area who you'd trust to do a repair like that at a reasonable price? Thanks, Donald

I've got a 50" Sony Grand Wega I picked up about 18 months ago. Suddenly it's developed a weird display problem (see link). Sony Wega Screen I wish that blotch on the side was dust shaped, but it looks awfully regular. Any idea what it might be? And is there any way to fix it, or is it...
