Hey Brent. I spent a lot of time reading the Onkyo & Panasonic manuals and had come to the same conclusion...that it's a HDCP issue. The Onkyo manual has a paragraph that says it uses HDCP and that video won't be shown on non-compatible displays. I'm using the HDMI cable for both video & audio...

Last week I received my orders for both the Onkyo TX-SR606 receiver and the Panasonic DMP-BD55k Blu Ray player. They are both great! But...I can't figure out how to get the blu ray player's video image to pass through the receiver out to the projector. My projector is an Infocus X2 (1080i...

An Early Frost is being released to DVD on July 18th. Wolfe Video will be the studio. I've been waiting for this one!

I tried erasing using Easy CD Creator and that didn't work. I also erased using the Philips recorder and that didn't work either (but I kind of expected that!) I'll try Nero as I just installed that last week.

I have several DVD+RW discs that I recorded using the Philips stand-alone DVD recorder. Now I would like to write over some of them using the computer. So far I've been unsuccessful in doing this...I suspect that it's a formatting issue, though I'm not sure. I tried right-clicking on the drive...

Joe, I'm experiencing the same problem that you describe. I live in VT & the distribution center that I used to receive them from was in MA. Now that they've opened a distribution center in VT, after a great start of very rapid turnover, things have slowed down considerably. Unlike before, they...

Another "rental disc" (also Warner) is the complete season 1 of the Waltons. Instead of 5 discs, there are 9 (!) through Netflix.

Can't tell you how great it is to finally have Torch Song Trilogy on DVD!! Watched the movie last night. The image is a bit softer than the newer release stuff that I've become used to, but is still much better than the laser disc I had (which is I remember correctly was P & S.) Listened to...

Now here's something strange on this title...the DVD is out as I rented it from my local video store a few weeks ago!!! I was shocked to see it sitting there as they normally stock only the latest titles. The video quality is much, much better than my old worn-out VHS tape. I've always thought...

Randy: I too am very curious about the specifics of your caseless filing system. My collection is approaching 2000 as well and space is about used up! Do tell...:)

I need to contact Netflix with some questions and can't find a phone number listed anywhere on their website...does anyone have a number for them? They seem to be receiving some of my returned DVD's and if they receive 2 on the same day, they'll ship out one on that day but send out the second...

Richard Michael Clark: Thanks for the heads-up for The Book Group! I received it a couple of days ago & couldn't stop watching once I started...excellent! My question: Was there a second season or is this 139 minutes all there is? (I'm hoping for more!)

Hey Mark! Am so glad that you enjoyed Bob & Rose! I really like it as well. I've watched it a couple of times, and enjoyed it even more the second time! I read your comments posted quite a while ago about Brideshead Revisited. I was thinking the other day that if I could keep only one DVD...

Thanks for the review, Mark. I received my copy a couple of days ago and haven't had a chance to view the film or the supplements yet. I did, however, read the liner notes on the insert so was suprised by your comment that Dirk Bogarde was heterosexual. David Thomson, writer of the liner notes...

I ordered the season 1 boxed DVD set of Will & Grace from Benson's World & received an email saying the title had been deleted. It is still showing on their website, however, and several others. Is it really not being released??
