I'm re-watching the series on Blu-ray, watched episode 10 today. Some episodes I haven't watched since possibly the late '90s, others not since they originally aired. I think I came across the audio sync issue in episode 9. Don't recall if that was the only episode it was reported that had...

Twilight Zone: The Movie - I watched this on HBO several times as a kid, and recall the opening vignette with Dan Aykroyd turning into the monster giving me the heebee-jeebees. The same happened in the Joe Dante segment when the camera pans up to reveal the sister who has no mouth. It was the...

Hmm, I really wish I hadn't read the article linked above in which Lynch says he won't make another film. For one thing, it's strange for him to be so definitive about anything, and I wonder what's behind that assertion (his given reason is just a cop out). That idea is putting even more...

Hi. Just wondering if anyone owns the Sony KDL55W800C, or even the 50-inch version. This is the 2015 model, a 1080p set with 3D. I'm just looking to get some more opinions than what I've found. The main thing I'm concerned about is the Rtings assertion that it does not get bright enough...

I guess they're just stuffing the old disc in the new package, although I believe it's the exact same special features as the one that was originally included in the pack. If you happen to buy a pack that has the flawed new disc, I wonder whether you're still able to get a replacement sent to...

Thanks. Was your disc the one pictured in ads for the set (just a dark background with Michael) or did it have flames on it? I understand the flame one is corrected, and the one they've been mailing as a replacement, but I don't know if it's just the one from a BD release a few years ago, or...

So has the manufacturer actually corrected this problem and do newer pressings have the corrected "H4" disc? If so, is this disc the same one they originally offered in the set, just corrected, or are they just sticking in an older disc of the film with different features? I'm considering...

I'm somewhat in the market for a new set, trying to upgrade from my 22" 720p set to something in the 50-60" 1080p range. I don't believe I can afford a 4K set, and they don't appear to have 3D anyway. I'm unsure whether I should strive for a 3D set. I like 3D in the theater quite a bit and...

I actually only found out about this UHD BD thing a few days ago. I've heard about 4K TVs, but assumed it was just going to make existing BDs and such look better. I didn't know they were angling for another format and thought that BD would pretty much be the ultimate with that. I'm far...

Thank you. I was just confused because people usually talk about it in reference to using it as a computer monitor. Another question -- Do 4K TVs deal with turning off overscan in the same way? Considering that the resolution of your regular BD is not equal to the resolution of a 4K TV, how...

Hi. I'm not too experienced when it comes to "home theater," but I have a question about which I can't find straight information. I currently have a very small (22") widescreen TV, but am looking possibly to upgrade to something newer and larger. When I got a widescreen/flatscreen TV a few...

I'm wondering if anyone can shed some light on this issue. I have a Sony upscaling DVD player and a 22" Sylvania LCD 720p set. The composite video looks great -- nice and crisp. I switched to using an HDMI cable that I received free with my DVR a couple years ago. The cable did not have a...

Thanks for your answers. As far as I can tell, it's not possible to adjust the resolution it outputs. I know it's impossible for composite cables to output anything other than 480i, but the player is still doing upscaling work, and this still could cause the picture to arrive after the sound...

I'd like the opinion of you folks. A few months ago I bought an upscaling DVD player from Sony (DVP-NS710H) in anticipation of possibly being able to afford a hi-def TV set one day. I still haven't gotten that set and have the player hooked up via composite cables to an old CRT TV. The player...

I read in a review that Sony's DVP-SR200P DVD player is just a re-branded Philips machine. My question is whether all of Sony's DVD players are re-branded from Philips, including Sony's DVP-NS710H and DVP-SR500H. Philips has some products labeled "DVP" itself. Does anyone know if this is the...

Thanks, Joseph, for your response. I guess I just wasn't prepared for it to make noise. It doesn't seem right that a device used for home entertainment should make so much noise which is leading me to question whether the newer model might make less noise. The DCX doesn't have vents on the...

Hi again. I started the thread and I have a few more questions. I recently relented and got digital cable and DVR because so many channels are being taken away and you cannot adequately use your VCR with a regular converter box or DVR. I'm not crazy about the extra cost of DVR but will give...

Hi, folks. I'm currently a subscriber to Comcast Standard Cable. Since they're ramping up their "digital migration" and I'm steadily losing channels, I thought I might get digital cable. Comcast's staff isn't the best at explaining stuff, so I thought I'd ask you guys a few things. I have a...

My situation is this: I have a ten-year-old standard definition picture tube TV with a bare bones generic DVD player that is four plus years old. I know, I'm living in the past but it works for me. I'm considering getting a new DVD player (not Blu-ray; can't afford) for a change. I might...
