I ran into the the same problem with my Denon receiver when I bought my first 4k tv. Was never able to resolve the problem. I was told it might be my older Denon was unable to processs the 4k signal or something like that. It's kind of annoying not being able to bring the menu up on screen.

i had a couple of odd experiences lately with two movies. while watching American Sniper the dialogue suddenly starting coming thru the left rear speaker. it corrected a few minutes later then happened again. all other sound effects were okay. A bit later i was rented Jupiter Ascending and...

I think Cameron knew just what he was doing in removing that scene. His story line is really quite straightforward as previously noted. Corporate humans bad, Na'vi good. Including that scene in the original release would have complicated the message he wanted to convey. Many people would...

your right. it is sacrilege to even mention 2001 and this movie in the same sentence. :o the first 30 minutes or so are just fine, but once she ingests the drug the movie quickly goes down the crapper. while i suppose one can argue the merits of the science fiction aspects of the film the...

The Maze Runner is reasonably entertaining if you don't think about it too much. For instance the maze itself would have cost billions to build and many years to complete. doubt anyone could afford such a thing just to experiment with. But like i said, if you don't think about it afterwards...

one thing i haven't seen suggested is used audio equipment. i've found in the past with a little patience i've been able to upgrade my system beyond what i could normally afford using this approach. this site has has buy/sell section for instance, but there are several sites such as audio mart...

you're exactly right. it's a situation i'm hoping to improve on this fall.

thanks for the reply...i always had the impression chuffing was more of a sporadic thing. so you're saying it wouldn't matter where the sub was located, this is going to happen anyway.

Hello...i'm using a small polk sub with a rear port. i have it situated a few inches from a side wall and about 3.5 feet from the corner. i've noticed if i go behind the sub there is a lot of muffled base. i'm wondering if this is normal for a sub with rear port or if it is a location...

hi schan1269.....the paradigm studio 20 v3's arrived today. no doubt about it they are a big improvement over my infinity's. the speakers themselves look like brand new and sound great. an interesting thing happened while waiting for them to arrive. i saw an ad on craigslist locally for a...

i'm getting them at a place called Hawthorne stereo, out of seattle. my research indicates they are a reputable store, but i hesitate to endorse them until i receive the product and it matches their claims. for instance their listing said the paradigms were v2's but assured me the listing was...

i know paradigm makes a top notch speaker to begin with so i decided to buy them. turns out they were 30% off the listed price so with shipping they came to 477.00. i'm told they are in almost new condition. hopefully they will be an upgrade in high end and mid range. oddly enough i was...

Hello...i'm using a pair of infinity primus tower speakers that i purchased some years ago. i'm thinking of replacing them with a pair of used paradigm studio 20v3 speakers that i can get for 639.00. i couldn't find any specific info on these exact speakers so i'm wondering if anyone has any...

I agree with you for the most part about remakes. But certain movies i think do lend themselves to being remade with upgraded FX and sound especially older movies that were special effect based back in the day. Although i don't think you can merely retell the story without adding a little...

Thanks for the info. i'll check it out.
