    What is Your Single Favorite Thing About Blu-ray (or Other HD) Playback?

    The one thing I notice was the clarity. I saw Training Day last night and was amaze at the clarity and the detail. I thought I was looking out a window. Plus even though I dont have hdmi reciever( I am getting the yammy 3800 this fall) my 1300 surround are a little more clear.

    No DTS sound.

    I agree with everybody else. I think you have the cables hook up wrong plus you need to hook up the optical cable from you reciever to your dvd player. When I first got my dvd player, I did the same thing. It was a emerson which only lasted a year. Only after I hook a optical cable to it did I...

    Thanks Troy for the answer. It is the RV1200. I tried doing a test DVD.

Sound came out of the...

    back channel

    I have a Yamaha 1200. I seem to not get anything on my back channels. I do a white noise check and it is fine. But when I watch a movie, sometimes there is no sound from the back channels or it might come from 1 speaker even when there are scenes suggesting it should be. [i] have 14 gauge...

    Flyboys review?

    I saw it last weekend and thought it was ok. Nothing to write home about. Almost like Pearl Harbor with the love story. The bullets whizzing by in surround sound sounded weird.

    yet another subwoofer question

    I agree with bill. I have velodyne and got a dsp10 for 300 at circuit city. The thing was it is a floor model and I paid that much money when it is worth 400 dollars They do have new ones for about 300 dollars new but they are lower model numbers. They still sound good though. Good luck
