Just checking: Is it the overall professional opinion of you guys that the Samsung is the best way to go? I will never use the 3D option - don't enjoy the experience - but would like an overall concensus from the obvious professionals who have posted here. Thanks.

Casey and David - That's pretty much what I expected to hear. Thanks for your input. Dan

I love their noise-reduction headphones, but have no experience with their Home Theater systems. Visiting their site, I saw and read all about their Videowave which they claim is an awesome all-in-one ststem...just plug in a Blu-Ray player and you've got it made. At 5K$ which seems to be the...

Ok: I'm behind the times because of the simple fact that I know upgrading to Blu-ray is much more than getting a great television. 1. A great TV 2. A great Blu-Ray machine 3. A great Receiver 4. Great Cables 5. Finally, great all-around speakers. :( 6. Also add a great ISF Tech! I know I'm for...

Having been a G-Fan for over 30 years, and having seen Toho reinvent and redefine *who* Godzilla is, and what he means to the Japanese people, I must agree that its time for the Big G to go to ground for awhile. Remember that Godzilla is much more than a cultural icon in Japan. He represents...

Once again Toho has redefined Godzilla. I've been an avid Godzilla fan for over 30 years, and this latest incarnation (post Heisei) is passable...at best. GMK attempts to pass Baragon, Mothra and Ghidrah off as Protector Deities representing earth, air, and sea, respectively. At least G vs...

Thanks, but avs was *way* too busy a site to know where to start! Is there perhaps an "easier" site out there for HDTV novices like myself to go to? Thanks again!

I'm finally to the point where I'm starting to look seriously at HDTV. Instead of lurking everywhere trying to decipher all of the new terms and features and advice, I wonder if there is a particular site (maybe in this forum) that answers all of the questions a home theater enthusiast ready to...

You might try dvdpricesearch.net's New Release area...I've always found it to be pretty comprehensive. Dan

Oops!! Showed a little stupidity...of course I meant I use Coax as the audio output and Monster S-video out thru the Onkyo. Sorry. I'll try going directly from the player to the TV. Any idea why this flicker is not all the time and happens even when only a menu is showing? Shoot, its even...

I love my Tosh 3108 and have had its firmware upgraded a year ago. I'm experiencing a nasty flicker problem on some films...most recently with Highlander. Looks like the image twists and turns. I stop the player and try again...I even get this flicker when the film is NOT playing...just the...

2 things: 1. Jeff: are you saying one could not select "English" as the subtitling and still enjoy the Japanese 5.1 audio? That selecting english disables that mode? What are you left with? 2. Now that I'm exploring different regions, could someone take a minute and explain the wild...

Thanks for all of the input! Seems like there is a lot of us pure G-fans out there wanting OSL! Jeff, is Y6500 a good price for the DVD's you linked us to? Sounds about right. What do you think of the quality? $220 is not bad for the entire Gamera Trilogy. If you have not seen these films...

I've lurked and listened. Anyone know if Toho has plans to release their Godzilla library on R2 DVD in the near future? I do not consider any American release worth a purchase, nor do I want any part of any bootleg DVD's being offered out of Ebay from Hong Kong. I spent 4 years in Japan...

Thanks for all of your kind input! I'll check Radio Shack out (thanks for the link, Rick!) and pick up an amp. Regards, Dan

Thanks for the feedback (no pun intented!)! Radio Shack, eh? What are they called and how much $? Easy to work with? I'll try anything. Thanks! Dan

I'm forced to run my cable thru my VCR to my Television. Several channels are barely visible due to lines running thru the picture. If you look long enough, your eyes get blurry! Is there a filter I need, or an enhancer...what? I'm sure there is a quick response/fix for this problem and...

Sorry I didn't mention that...its for a refurb. I've had the same luck as everyone else at finding a new unit.:frowning: Dan

In another thread I mentioned looking for a smaller-room (lower watts and $) Onkyo and was referred to the 494 and 595. I can't remember if I heard it from Oade or Onecall, but I know the replacement for the 494 will be a 65 watt unit called the TX SR500...don't know about the 595. I *was*...

100 watts (real or imagined) for the Onkyo 696 is *far* too much power for my smaller family room where my equipment currently resides. I'm looking for something with not so much power (read: less $ too) that will still give me DPLII and the analog/svideo conversion that the 696 offers. Is...

Looks like I'm jumping in here kind of late: Help me out, please: I've been trying to find a copy of Urotsokudoji, and finally found it. Imagine my surprise when its rated NC17 and the film has been seriously cut from its original version. I was stationed in Yokosuka, Japan from 1989 - 1993...
