    FS: iStar Mini HD, 200W/ch Tripath amp

    The Amp Seven T was sold long ago, as noted in my first post. It's not as apparent as it could be, however, so I'll update the post to make the status more visible.

    The upcoming Doctor Who DVD range!

    Those must be UK release dates. The E-Space box isn't coming to the US until May. I'm definitely looking forward to some of these. The E-Space box, Deadly Assassin, and Image of the Fendahl will definitely have a place in my collection. But I'd like to see more Pertwee and Davison stories...

    Why is my sound cutting in and out?

    I'm not very knowledgeable about video games. But I'd guess that the game is either outputting a lower-bitrate Dolby Digital signal (448Kbps or less) or DTS, or a 2-channel PCM signal that your receiver is converting to multi-channel via Dolby ProLogic II.

    Why is my sound cutting in and out?

    I believe your receiver is one of the "defective" models that is unable to handle the 640Kbps Dolby Digital bitrate. This happens with some older receivers. Your options are to (a) use 2-channel analog out from the PS3 with ProLogic II decoding in your receiver, or (b) buy a new receiver.

    Your 1st DVD player vs. 1st Blu-ray player: How much and when did you buy?

    My first DVD player was a Panasonic DVD-A300 purchased in May(?) 1997 for $700 (that was cheap at the time!). First Blu-ray player... PS3 for $399.99, early 2008.

    The upcoming Doctor Who DVD range!

    War Machines didn't have Ahnuld. I can (and may) do without the McCoy serials, but the rest are must-haves. I do wish we'd see more Pertwee serials; the releases so far have been overly slanted towards the Tom Baker years.

    VSX -92TXH Pioneer Elite sub with stereo mode

    Like the other posters have stated, if your speakers are set to LARGE then the receiver considers them to be full-range. This implies that they can handle all content, including low bass. Because they are believed to handle low bass there is therefore no need to route anything to the subwoofer...

    Voices too quiet

    It's not really a style per se. It's just an attempt at realism. In the real world, explosions and other similar sounds are much louder than the volume of a normal speaking voice. Now, overly loud background music... that's a stylistic decision, and sometimes a very annoying one.

    Inexpensive Solution for converting 1080p to 720p?

    Feeding a 1080i signal to the 65-inch Mits doesn't mean that the TV isn't displaying 1080p. The TV will take that 1080i input and will internally convert it to 1080p for display. With most content the result will be identical (or nearly so) to what you'd see if you fed 1080p to the TV.

    New to Blu? Buy a PS3: the most featured BD hardware available...

    I believe that is normal. The PS3 doesn't make itself visible via SMB, so it won't appear in My Network Places. (SMB is Microsoft's protocol for file sharing and workgroup membership.)

    I doubt you'll get a response. The OP hasn't visited this forum since that message was posted three months ago, and hasn't responded to PMs or e-mails.

    Dolby-pro logic and Dolby Pro-logic II

    Yes, Dolby Pro-Logic and Pro-Logic II(x) simulate surround from a 2-channel source. If you cannot activate these modes, then perhaps your receiver is actually receiving a pseudo-5.1 Dolby Digital signal from your source. I'm referring to a signal that is physically 5.1, but which carries content...

    Memory Stick to Flash Memory???

    An alternative may be to use a MicroSD -> Memory Stick Pro Duo adapter. For example: DealExtreme: $7.87 StarJade SDHC MicroSD (TF) to Memory Stick MS Pro Duo Adapter Sleeve This may allow you to use a MicroSD cards in the Sony camcorder, assuming that the camcorder doesn't mind the lack of...

    The effect of the Blu Ray win on TV DVD

    Well, older stuff like I Love Lucy could probably be re-transfered from the original film elements and released as HD. But I'd love to see entire seasons of video-sourced SD series on a single disc -- Doctor Who, Babylon 5, etc... lots of 70s and 80s series would fit this release model very...

    In the Line of Fire - Blu-ray release July 1st

    This was the first SD-DVD I purchased, back in early 1997 when the only discs available (outside of the few 'test' cities) were 7 or so titles from Sony/Columbia. Seems about time to retire it and replace with the Blu-ray version. :)
