Always nice to hear I'm not the only one who thinks this way. Unfortunately there doesn't appear to be anything we can do about it. Some people have tried e-mailing, some even used regular mail, but no response from any major studio. That's why I thought it'd be nice to let them know this if...

So here's the thing... I had to move to a new apartment due to a new job and have no dedicated home theater room. I'm now seriously thinking about updating my old speakers (some Jamo's package I got at a ridiculously cheap price years and years ago had 2 x Studio 160, Center 40 and 2 x Surround...

Given the number of SD DVD-players sold (and being sold every day), I actually think that we'll see another age resembling that of VHS and LD. I think DVD and Blu-Ray will co-exist for a long time with every major film being released on both formats and smaller films being released only on DVD...

I never wanted to make this into a discussion about what makes a good trailer and what trailers are good and what are bad (since that's always subjective). However, I can't help but to mention that it's always been somewhat rare that a trailer uses a song or score from the film itself. The one...

Booklets and such have, of course, been history for a long time now because we all know how tremendously expensive it must be to print a few pages... Truth be told, I never saw much value in those (well, they made it easier to see what chapter I was looking for when searching for a specific...

This goes somewhat off-topic, but.... Actually, I have a DVL-909 as well and there are always some differences between European and US models (connectors, for example - I only recently found out that you guys don't use Scart-connectors), but the disc mechanism is apparently the same, so I...

Might be. It's interesting that Sony's DTV-films, for example, are generally released here either by Sony itself or by another company like Scanbox. If it's a Sony-release, it generally has no extras (even the preview trailers are cut down to about five compared to 12-15 of them on the...

Hi, This is from an European perspective (I live in Finland). All players sold here can play both NTSC and PAL and most players can be made multi-region using a simple remote control hack. I have no experience with BluRay-players, but I tried to find a hack for your Samsung DVD-1080P7. I...

It works with the RCAs. Did a quick try by hooking the connectors to wireless headphones (since the cabinet which will house the amplifier isn't installed yet) and it outputs whatever audio would come from the TV's speakers, whether it's from the tuner or a VCR. Interestingly, some TVs don't...

Does it just freeze randomly while playing the disc or does the disc play fine until you try to eject it and it refuses to come out then? Don't know if this is of any help, but I do still use a Pioneer LD/DVD player and have a somewhat similar problem. The thing with my player is that, when...

Yes. In fact, since everyone was made to buy a new TV and/or a set-top box with a digital tuner and none of these support HD transmissions, it was recently announced that it'll probably be around 2015 when the broadcasters are even starting to CONSIDER broadcasting in HD. This switch from...

That was my first guess, too. And it does seem that current trailers use more and more music from other films (as well as popular songs) while the trailers from the 80s and 90s often had original music from someone (John Beal, John Eric Alexander etc.) who specialized in composing music for...

You're, of course, quite right about the single-disc vs. two-disc and about the motives for it as well, but I'm indeed talking about the trailer for the movie on the disc. Not too long ago it was a standard feature on just about every disc, no matter what company was the distributor. These...

Thanks for the reply. In this technology's promised land, it'll probably be another 5-10 years before we get our first HD over-the-air broadcasts and even cable HD broadcasts are currently limited to two cable channels (both pay-tv, of course, and the HD offerings of both is limited to a few HD...

I've been asking this in several forums and so far no-one has known the answer, so thought I'd try here, since this appears to be one of the biggest and most professional boards around. There was a thread here where people were complaining about missing trailers and where to find them, but as...

Hi guys. My first post here so I thought this would be the most appropriate forum for it. Basically this concerns the connections between an amplifier, a TV and a cable set-top box. I live in Scandinavia and we have just moved exclusively to digital broadcasts. Having waited for a long...
