    Brian Setzer - Live In Japan...any comments?

    I concur with Andy! The disc is excellent IMHO. I also had to throttle the bass back a little on the DTS track. Performance of the band was also outstanding. Go for it! Hal

    Sharp Portable DVD Players ?

    Hi everyone, I've seen the Sharp DVL80U portable DVD players going for around $400.00 and thought that was a pretty good price for a 8" screen model. Anyone have one, and care to comment on the picture and sound quality with headphones? How does it compare to the Panasonic or Pioneer that...

    Brian Setzer Live in Japan

    Can't wait to get this one in the player this weekend. Got mine on Friday, pre-ordered it from DVD Empire. Was hoping it had great sound, took a chance on the pre-order without any reviews of it. Love the music! Hal

    HELP: Need list of retailers that are pressuring the studios away from widescreen....

    I'm in a small market area (city population less than 20,000) and both our Walmart and Target carry widescreen. Target has been one of my best sources for new release DVD's, only $1.00 more than Best Buy sale prices, and I have to Drive 40 miles to get to Best Buy. Hal

    Was The Fast & The Furious the worst movie of all time?

    I’m not a motor head and not into cars or racing, but thought this was a fantastic total fun experience of a movie. This was one of the few movies with a great sound track, that got my heart racing and made me feel like I was sitting right there next to the driver. There have only been a few...

    Another fine one would be Das boot. Very good sound, makes you feel like your sitting in the middle of the sub. Hal

    DVD Players will not be able to play future Universal Audio CDs!

    After reading thru all this I'll give my $.02 IMHO I think it boils down to consumers perceived value for their hard earned dollar. If you offer a quality product, that compares favorably to other similar products, at a fair/competitive price, you will have no problems selling your product to...

    Problems with JP3 DVD

    Spence, I own a Yamaha 2095 model receiver. I also sent my Toshiba SD-3108 DVD player in for a firmware up-grade about a year or so ago. That might also make a difference. As far as where the heck is Stratford? Almost in the middle of the state, just a little north. (Smack in the center...

    JP3 - Is It Worth A Buy?

    Just watched JP3 today. Good popcorn flick, very fun and entertaining. Wow! What a sound track (DTS). I liked the first and the 3rd the best. Lost world was my least favorite. I too am partial to the 1st movie, as it also is one of the 1st movies I experienced on home theater, and got me...

    Which laptop for portable DVD player?

    Hi all: I'm looking at the Dell Inspiron 8000 also. The new catalog shows them coming with "Dolby Headphone". I want a lap-top with great headphone sound, and a control to adjust bass/treble with. In addition to movies, I want to be able to listen to my DVD-Audio discs with good headphone...

    Opinions on Sony KP-T4375 43" RPTV?

    Marc, I have had this set for almost a year and am extremely happy with the picture. One of the main reasons I bought this was the great picture with less than perfect sources. (VHS & DSS) I looked at a lot of sets and always came back to the Sony because of the great picture on DSS...
