the "complete" series box sets are widescreen, but there are also smaller collections (eg series 1, episodes 1 to 3) which are 1.33:1

i'm in australia and find them to be cheap, fast to deliver & have excellent service! I've bought 15+ DVDs and quite a few CDs as well

are you running the receiver as 5.1? if not, it is telling you that you have set up the system as either 6.1 or 7.1 (you are using one/both of the rear amps) if you are 5.1 I have no idea! :)

i watched Showgirls for the first time on the weekend. My stomach muscles are still sore...

Matthew, was it the DD EX/ DTS ES version of the DVD, or the standard version? I have played the DTS ES version through my Denon 2805 in 6.1 and get a very good soundstage at the back - very impressed

Most Pixar SE releases are DTS in Australia, which may be of interest. I'm unsure if Pal speed-up applies to Pixar releases....? Madman entertainment have/are releasing a lot of Studio Ghibli's titles, expected to be completed by May 2005 jb Hi Fi and Target carry these titles as they are...

not to worry - i just used the remote's learning function to fix it! having said that, i'd actually prefer to be able to input the disc number as 300 discs is a lot to go through when you can only jump in one direction... my mx-500 remote arrives soon, so maybe that will be the fix i need...

I have a denon 2805 receiver and am having a problem with the remote I use a sony 300-disc CD changer, and cannot change discs using the Denon 2805's remote There is an button on the remote called "Disc Skip +", but it does not move to the next disc as expected...... the player seems to...

thanks Phil! makes sense now... SP - A, SP - A B it's the simple things that stump me!

just got myself a denon 2805 - can someone please tell me what the "SP-" in the display indicates? It seems to be on all the time It is just above the indicator for centre channel on the output display (right hand side) Possibly the worst user-guide ever (and possibly the worst remote...

Hi all I currently have 2 systems - a Stereo pre/power amp for music , and a multi-channel AV Receiver for DVD my speakers have 2 sets of terminals for bi-wiring/ amping If I were to connect the Stereo Amp to one set of speaker terminals, and the AV Receiver to the other set (jumpers...

thanks for clearing that up It's a Perreaux 2150 Amp - Quite old (mid 80's) mosfet - built like a tank 200 w per channel into 8 ohms regards David

I'm looking at getting a Power Amp to run the Front L & R pre amp outs from my Marantz Sr5300.. Question is, how do I control Volume Level? The 2 channel Amp I m looking at doesn't have a Volume Control The Marantz has limited range in its' adjustment of output level.. Do I ned to...

i had ordered from CD-WOW... they had misrepresented the product and are now offering (Japanese R2) Kill Bill Vol I as a "bonus" to the 1st 500 pre-orders This was the cheapest option for me (in Australia) to get both Vol I & the Vol II Collector's Edition even though the amazon.jp price...

I'd be wary of any company that offered a 10 year unconditional warranty on a pair of speakers. I notice, too, that they only sell via large discount retailers, so I would suspect they are a speaker with a high profit-margin But it's all in the listening, and if you think you could listen...

hello I've sent my room sketch to SVS, but thought I'd see what the other experts had to say! My house is basically one big (L-shaped room) around 11,500 cubic feet The main bit of the "L", where my system is, is about 9600 cubic feet ceiling is around 9.5 feet (suspended...

malcolm's get-away car! rbenda.bei.t-online.de/pj/pj_017.jpg (sorry can't post URLs) And I second Max's Interceptor, and the weird & wonderful machines in Mad Max 1 & 2

OK, I know she's dead & wrapped in plastic, but I missed out on Twin Peaks after the first few episodes I've just purchased the First Season on DVD, as well as Fire Walk with Me Fire Walk with Me is a "prequel" to Twin Peaks, and was made after Twin Peaks - is this the best viewing order...

I've often wondered why "region-free" players are not that common in USA... is it beacause players that output PAL or can convert PAL are rare and that TVs are not PAL Compatible? Or is it more to do with copyright laws? judging from Brian's comments about no-name brands, I suspect...

for me the 1st scene with ED-209 in RoboCop unsubtle, I know...stopmotion rules

Mark Zimmer couldn't tell from your contribution if you'd ever been to Tokyo...I didn't see in this film any of the racism you saw...Coppola portrays "strangers" caught in an obviously foreign place I felt Bill Murray's character showed this well....the fading star who'd been here...

believe it or not, Beyond the Mat is a fascinating & compelling behind-the-scenes look at "sports entertainment" (read WRESTLING!)

I've been wondering the same thing.... On the next "title", Audio Test Signals , Dolby and DTS 6.1, they offer Full Bandwith Pink Noise for all channels... Can someone confirm Dave Poehlman's response to use bandwidth limited Pink Noise? I did a quick calibration and my Marantz SR5200...

cd-wow.com shows the same realease date for both R1 & R2 (april 13th from memory)

when I used to work in a hifi shop in the mid-80's we used to generalise about there being a "British" Sound & an "American" sound in speakers that generalisation was that the British-sounding speakers were had a more neutral or slightly warmer sound compared to the American-sounding speakers...

mine was R4 Starship Troopers Dual Sided DVD with no extras whatsoever (well, they counted "interactive menus" as an extra...) still got it, but boy that flipping the disc business is so annoying

Hello I've been reading this forum with interst and wonder if any of you can offer me some advice.. I do not currently have a dedicated subwoofer for my system, and am using a Folded Horn PA bin with a Fane Crescendo 18B Driver connected to my sub-out via a power amp as a temporary...

that's certainly true of him when there is no obvious/major difference between R4 & R1 release, I agree as I said, I like R1 releases especially because of the price with the weak US$ & the (earlier) release dates.... currently R1 is pretty much all I'm buying

Matt'L you are possibly right! This page on the site i mentioned gives a comparison of R4 vs R1 from a R4 buyer's point of view www michaeldvd.com.au/R4vsR1/R4vsR1.asp (sorry again, I cannot post URLs) their reviewers determined 1409 "R4 Winners", 2521 "even", and 646 "R1 Winners"

Australian (Region 4) releases are usually not as good as releases from other regions, especially in terms of features, extras & packaging DTS, for example, is fairly rare Some transfers are pretty bad too (I won't get into any PAL vs NTSC debate here :) ) Three Colours trilogy was taken...
