    Basic question on upconversion

    I have another basic question, to get the up conversion do you have to have a HDMI connection or can you use a componet cable?

    Awesome! Magnum P.I. Season One Coming This Summer

    I basically watch one per week just like the series, though I watched a few the first week, and Mondays I have no real shows so I watched missing in action last night. It was ok, and at the end I was thinking the same thing, in fact I thought the guy was shot in the foot. I think there was alot...

    Awesome! Magnum P.I. Season One Coming This Summer

    I dont post much around here, but I just got the set as it was one of my favs as a kid, and no doubt there is some synching issues. Also to point out, every series has some bad episodes, The Ugliest Dog in Hawaii episode being one. My wife said to me 45 minutes into the movie "what is this...

    *** Official SEABISCUIT Discussion Thread

    Saw it last night! I am a horse racing aficianodo so I was very critical from the movie buff and the race enthusiast. Film did really well at delivering the feel good story it was looking for. It came up a bit short on historical accuracy but thats a seperate subject. Come Acadamy...

    Coming in September, according to Philips....SACD II

    Well I dont know the numbers, but as a non audiophile music fan, if they dont have multi channel or the disk is not hybrid I dont even consider it.

    FREE DVD-Audio Disc

    I got this disk last week, forgot about it actualy. I thought some of the songs where pretty awsome sounding on my system. I really liked the sound mix of Big Phat Band. Also thought the Swan Lake song sounded solid as well.

    Recommendations for SACD player?

    I am not sure you can find them anymore but I got a Sony CE-775 5 disk sacd changer for 149.00 last year, and IMO it is a great player.

    ***Official "Dark Side of The Moon SACD" Review Thread***

    Justin, When I got to the end of the 5.1 mix the one thing that came to my mind was how long for the release of The Wall. Though this disk can be listened to in 5.1 dvd video, I doubt it would reach the levels of this release(i have not watched it as of yet). WYWH would also be epic! I have a...

    ***Official "Dark Side of The Moon SACD" Review Thread***

    I notice some peope underwhelmed by the stereo sacd on this disk but wasn't the main effort of the producers to make the best possible 5.1 mix, so less time and effort would have been spent on the stero track? So is this really a surprise?

    Al, I picked mine up at the best buy at 44th and Cactus, they had an endcap with about 40 copies or so. You can't miss the giant prism decor!

    ***Official "Dark Side of The Moon SACD" Review Thread***

    Ok, have now listened to all three tracks, cd, 2 channel and 5.1 sacd. IMO this disk shines in the 5.1 format much more so than the two channel. While the 2 ch stereo sacd is still better than the hybrid redbook, it does not overwelm you with the fidelity like the 5.1 mix does. In my opinion the...

    ***Official "Dark Side of The Moon SACD" Review Thread***

    I dont post in here alot, and hesitate to jump in on threads like this cause with a new release of a great epic album like this almost all reviews are positive so you often have to take it with a grain of salt. I am no audiophile and bought this album for the 5.1 experience. I just listened to...

    Which albums and players will push you into high rez?

    Multi Channel is the only reason I am into Hi Res, its not worth it to replace all my redbook CD's to buy sacd or dvd a two channel. The album for me was DVD-A hotel california

    Cinema to DVD Windows getting shorter? Catch me if you can out only 19 weeks after...

    I would say price factors in as well, new release dvd for 15 bucks or 18 for two tickets to a movie. Studios can see the light. They sure dont want people who do not go see it at the theater and are waiting to forget the film, and 9 months or a year can do that.

    Cinema to DVD Windows getting shorter? Catch me if you can out only 19 weeks after...

    Johnny I think there is already two mind sets regardless of the length. Personaly I am a wait until the DVD is out type unless I am really excited to see a film(a three year old also adds to that). If its 4 months or 6 months I dont think that is going to make a difference to the larger films...
