I'm interested in some banana plugs for my rear speaker connections. I use Monster flat wire (16 gauge). I've picked up a few different plugs at Frys but they never seem big enough to fit my thicker 16 gauge wire. ?? I'm a newbie with plugs so can somebody please tell me the brand/type of plug...

Where can you buy the Apex? The DT1001 has the S-video connection that I want but I'm having trouble finding where to buy it! Is it out yet??

I have DirecTV (and like it). I'm about to upgrade to HD. I have a chance to bundle services (phone, internet, satellite) into one package to save money and doing that means I switch to DISH. I'm open to that, but frankly, I don't think I'll save a whole lot of dough (with an HD package). I'm...

Let me know what happens when you try your R2 DVD. Thanks!

I'd appreciate some feedback about this. I know my Toshiba A2 HD-DVD player is region free for HD-DVD's but is it also region free for standard DVD's? I'd like to get some region 2 DVD's so I'm wondering if they will play in my A2. Thanks.

I have DirecTV but I'm not watching it though my receiver (which is not an HD model...yet). I watch it through my on air antenna, which is plugged right into the HDTV. From the HDTV, I run an optical cable into my receiver (a Dennon 1804) which gives me the 5.1 surround sound from the HD source...

Every time I watch Bionic Woman (in high def) there's about a half second delay in the audio so the voices don't quite sync up to the mouths of the actors, or the sound effects to action on screen. Has anyone else noticed this?!? I'm using an indoor antenna to receive my HD signal and I watch my...

I'm the same as John. I haven't experienced any dropouts unless I skip a chapter. For about 2-3 seconds the movie is playing without sound, until the audio kicks in. Not much of an annoyance for me, really.

Yep, I was wrong. I was going off the manual but then actually trying it with HD discs, it failed to work. I just read into this thread and I guess it's a disc issue, not the player. The DVD's need to have that function built in so our players can take advantage of it. It's frustrating sometimes.

Weird you mention this because I have a CRT HD widescreen (not a stand alone projector) and my A-2 does this same thing when previews come on before the movie. First time I've ever seen that at home (black bars on the sides too!). But when the movie starts it's stretches out wide and looks fine...

Thanks guys! I think I'll just try xploitedcinema.com. I'm so thrilled to get these two flicks in HD! Thanks again.

King Kong (1976) RULES. And even more in HD. Thank you...

YES, it will resume play but for HD-DVD's you have to press the "resume" button near the scroll pad. This is even mentioned in the manual which I read yesterday (I just purchased this model myself). And yes, it does automatically resume playback for standard DVD's by just pressing play again...

Tony, I have the JVC deck and you know what? It hardly ever gets used. Now, granted, I only used it to play D-VHS tapes, which, let's face it, are still rare to find and are a dying format. So then there's HDTV programming. Sure, you could record it onto tape, but with HD-DVD's coming late...

I REALLY hope someone can help me with this one. It sounds simple and I feel stupid asking but I need help. I'm picking up a Sony DVD recorder/VCR combo (VX500)tonight and I'm at a quandry for the best possible way to connect it. Here's why. I'm using a 90's model RCA 27" TV with only one...
