I do believe that Maj. Trevor did have active duty overseas before he went stateside. ;) Didn't Judgement from Space have a very "The Day the Earth Stood Still" flavor to it? Picked up copy #3 at a different Sam's Club. Able to watch the Von Grunther episode without any problems...

I decided to try it on one more player and used my liteon external DVD burner/player. Disk 1 locks up during the cartoonish intro of episode 1 but if I bypass intro and go directly to chapter 2 I can get into the episode. I can't do this on my Toshiba player at all. If I try to directly access...

Anyone else have problems with Wonder Woman Disc 1. I am on my second set. First set: disc one, side a, episode after pilot...locked up, froze, skipped scenes. Side B- last episode would not play at all. With this new set, no problems with Side B but last episode on Side a will not play at all...

I was surprised to find the Charlie Chan Chanthology at the Corona, CA COSTCO for 39.99.

I want to connect my DVD player to my Panny XR25 A/V Receiver via coaxial cable. I'm a bit confused. What do I need to buy? From what I've read, some people recommend regular RCA cable (audio or video), others digital coaxial cable, some specify digital audio coaxial cable. I went to radio shack...

I found a Cerwin Vega V12S on clearance at Sears. Do you think this would work with the Polks? By the way, I am very happy with the R20s. ;) Listened to 1812 overture (had sound turned down and it was booming upstairs) some parts of Attack of Clones (very clean) and watched Whale Rider. What a...

I recently bought a pair of Polk R20 to go with my old Technics receiver. However, just picked up a bargain Panasonic XR25 receiver at Sears to replace the Technics. Also have an old center Bose. Would like to add a subwoofer. This one is currently on clearance at Sears for half of the original...

Sear's is doing a clearance on this. I bought one new in box for about 135 and then took off another 10 with a coupon. They are also clearing out Yamahas such as the 5650 and 5660. The Sear's I went to had no more Yamahas. If I could find a 5650 or 5660 would that be a better choice than the...

Which subwoofer might you recommend to go with the R20s? Thanks.

Thank you for the replies. Connected the R20s and to my ears they sounded very good. The sound is clean and crisp, maybe a bit lacking in bass which could be my settings. I noticed that they are being discounted at other places such as J and R. At Fry's I was told that only the cherry "wood"...

I picked up a pair of Polk R20s at Fry's for $100. They are replacing an old pair of Infnity RS3000s, one of which is no longer working and the other on its way out. I am planning on getting a new receiver in the near future and will then probably move the Polks to rear or sides and get better...

Any pricing for Charade at Costco? Thanks.

Purchasing a DVD player for my mom...similar pricing for both of these. Anyone tried both and have any comparisons. When I checked them out at Best Buy the Toshiba seemed a bit sturdier and the remote looked easier to use. Liked the sizing of the play, forward, rewind buttons. I personally have...

Thanks so much for all of your great replies. Decided to go to Best Buy and take a look at the gift set. They did have a few left on the shelf. Looked at the gift set, then back at the regular extended edition, then the gift set again...sortof a silly thing to do. I thought that the bookends...

I purchased the 4 disk set of LOTR today for 23.99 at Target (had a dollar off coupon) but haven't deboxed yet. Target didn't have the gift set and I wasn't sure I needed it. Now I am wondering if the Ultimate Gift set would be the better purchase. Are the extra goodies packed with Ultimate...
