DVD has far less resolution therefore far less space.

Unless they know something we don't, I think they are blowing smoke.

Only on HD(so far). Ce3k proved the BR could do it on 1 disc

Mike, Here in little Tulsa. We have endcaps which are more dominated by BR mainly because of the deluge of new titles that came out. I'd say WM here is 65/35 in terms of shelf space. Target is 80/20.

A better amp section that meets its rated spec. There's a reason the 3808 wasn't rated as a S&V product of the year like the 875, the Denon 4308 or the Yamaha RXV1800/3800 series. Pete is pretty dead on.

I wonder if the sharpness on your TV is turned up too high? Have you ever calibrated your TV?

I had one and upgraded to the Braun. Yes, the braun is that much better.

I don't see why not but it may be a bandwidth issue and a space issue.

I know Sunshine was one. I don't know about the others. I'm currently testing a Yamaha RXV3800. It's quite nice but a bit too shrill sounding for my tastes and I don't care for the EQ much as it's limited to >60hz. It's a loaner so I can't complain for the time being. I'll have to go back to...

I got a Braun 360 Ultimate for Christmas. I LOVE it. 360° Complete - Braun The negative is... it's pricey. As with anything, you get what you pay for.

Make a multi disc set then like Paramount and drop the combo. I would use Close Encounters as a good example but that's a BR disc with more capacity. I think it is a capacity problem and we're bearing the brunt of it here. Beyond that, what Jim K said.

Yes 7.1 DTS MA titles aren't recognized by the Denon models when sent bitstream. The other formats(Dolby True HD, and PCM) work fine. I'm impressed with it myself. It properly bitstreams audio even 7.1(as long as you don't own a Denon). The video looks spectacular. The loading of discs is...

I'll take this delay because of what else we're getting :) That's a stellar father's day lineup.

The only issue is you won't see the newest features on the menu when you put a profile 1.1 or 2.0 disc in your player. If extra features are of no concern, you are fine.

Correct. Even the ones debuted at CES didn't have it. I think it's something Sony will not support going forward on their hardware. DVD-Audio is also going the way of the dodo bird.
