Hi Thom, I recently had to replace my sony sxrd 70" tv that i loved 'cause the chip died. It was 4.5 years old but fortunately i bought the 5 year warentee. The business i bought it from sells Mits and they made me an offer i couldn't refuse and got the 82 inch top line model a month ago. It has...

Since the new upcoming Beatle sets are remastered in 24/196 has anyone read or heard if 'they' intend to release these sets in DVD-A 24/196 at some point?

I am surprised no one has posted a comment about the first commercials for the new fall season. The female terminator was in the bombed vehicle, survived, and her main chip switched over to the 'evil' terminator setting. Plus she is quite cut up and ugly now; this is a waste of an attractive...

This would be my thoughts as well on the new 'cartoon' SW film/series. The question to ask IMO is why won't Lucas either deal with the rich plot lines of many of the books or let others do it with his supervision. Where is Mara Jade and Luke's conflict and romance? And the rich vein of the...

Dave, As an owner of a Krell HTS 7.1 I have the same question. My Krell sounds great for SACDs and CDs and DVDs but is now out of date and no longer made by Krell. Their new pre/pro has all of the new audio formats but costs 18 THOUSAND dollars. Krell has also stopped selling the 7.1 so they...

Sony BDP-S1 since last December.

Sony's web site http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu...=2792&os_id=99 shows version 2.0 but it is currently not available for down load but will be again on the 11th.

I finally got through to a knowledgeable Sony person who signed me up to receive the v. 1.60 update disk. I asked her if Sony was coming out with a another update soon and she said that she had heard a 'rumor' about another update but had no official knowledge of it. Maybe she is actually...

As a BDP-S1 owner I would say yahoo as well but exactly what does this mean? Will we be able to listen to the TrueHD sound track through the analog outs? Plus I have yet to receive the version 1.60 update in the mail; maybe Sony is holding off to send only one update disk.

This is the set I have set my sights on as well. Does any one have an insights as to the upgrades or changes coming on the A3000 models? I am also waiting for the price of the 70" model to make it below $4500. I am doubtful that the new models will be better and cheaper. I have tried to find out...

I see that directv has come out with a new HD DVr the HR20-700. Would any one here have experience with it yet?

Neil or others, Have you read if Sony is going to update the software for their new BD player in the same manner? So far their site only says they will issue an update so the player can read BD-Rs or RWs some time in the spring.

Thank you Neil for your answer. I watched part of Black Hawk Down this morning. It is quite impressive. I also bought The Lake House. Its image is a bit confusing to me. The colors and shading are outstand but it is a little off focused or soft. HD certainly shows the actor aging process up...

I am not at home so I can not post a list of the BD disks I currently own. I do have a related question for now. Is there a simple why of determining which BD are 50gig versions? And would any one know why they all are not 50gig? Is it more expensive to do or more difficult to manufacture? I...
