    Receiver DSP question

    Hi guys, I'm hoping someone can help me with this. I recently was watching and listening to Rush's R30 concert dvd on my small 2 channel setup. My receiver is a Panny XR10. The dvd has a DD 5.1 track and a PCM Stereo track. The PCM track sounded great on my setup and the 5.1 was really, really...

    Buffy Season 1: Any Spoilers in Special Features?

    I agree with your overall opinion of Season 6, KG. I never did watch the show during it's broadcast run but on a friend's advice I started watching on dvd. I started season 1 and from there I devoured seasons 1-6 in a very short amount of time. I enjoyed every season very much (with some...

    The Killer - Spectrum R3 DTS HK Contemporary Collection

    Kyle, there have been reports that the Mono soundtrack is out of sync with the action at times. It was not apparent to me when I first popped in the disc but I have not watched it all the way through. I will give it a look in the next day or two.

    The Killer - Spectrum R3 DTS HK Contemporary Collection

    This a port of the Hong Kong IVL/Fortune Star release of the Killer(which comes packaged with Bullet in the Head). The picture on the Hong Kong Legends release is better but I much prefer having the original mono soundtrack as an option and it is not on the Hong Kong Legends disc. On the 5.1...

    Please recommend a decent receiver around $200-$250

    Yeah, I have tried my CLD-79, my 703, and a friend's CLD-99 and the receiver will lose the signal from DTS LD's with all 3 of them. This happens with the Coaxial or Optical. The receiver has no problems with PCM LD, Dolby Digital LD and DVD or DTS DVD, just with DTS LD.

    Please recommend a decent receiver around $200-$250

    I've about decided on the Onkyo 502 for $208 shipped. I just want to make sure there are no compatibility issues regarding DTS Laserdiscs and that's why the Pioneers intrigue me. I can get a Pioneer 814 for $215 shipped but my head tells me the Onkyo is a better receiver (and cheaper) and will...

    Please recommend a decent receiver around $200-$250

    Hi, I am looking for a new receiver to use with my dvd player and laserdisc player. I am far from an audiophile and I have had a Sony receiver for the last couple of years. I realize now that Sony receivers (especially the lower end ones) have bad reputations. The catalyst for me wanting to get...

    Buffy / Angel question

    I couldn't agree more, Matt. That scene in "Passion" when Angelus is watching Buffy and Willow's reaction was one of the first scenes of Buffy that made me realize I was watching something special.

    Buffy / Angel question

    Having just watched seasons 1-6 for the first time it's hard for me to even come up with my favorite season so far. In my opinion the last half of season 2 is the best run of episodes the show has had but I don't know if I would call season 2 my favorite overall season. Season 3 is so consistent...

    Buffy / Angel question

    Thanks guys, I'll probably give Angel a shot. I bought the first season of Buffy when Amazon had it for $14.99 and the rest is history. The show is funny, smart, and has alot of heart. I am still totally surprised about the emotional reaction this show will get out of me from time to time. As...

    The music titled "Whispers and Sighs" can be heard while the two women are talking after the window blows open on the English and Italian 2.0 tracks on the German Dragon dvd release and the 5.1 Italian and 2.0 English tracks on the Italian disc.

    kill bill r2,3

    the Japanese version also has Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS, as does the U.S. and U.K. The Japanese disc has English and Japanese subtitles. Both are fairly light on extras. They both have some trailers and the Japanese disc has a short animation production sequence and some short interviews. The...

    kill bill r2,3

    Martin, the Japanese version has the House of Blue Leaves sequence in full color instead of switching to black and white like the U.S./U.K. version, making the film seem quite a bit more violent. I finally got the chance to watch the Japanese disc and besides having the sequence in full color...
