    DVD Recorders

    I bought the Sony RDR-GX7. It records in DVD-R, DVD-RW and DVD+RW. It will also play DVD+R but not record it. I'm having good luck with it so far. The recorded discs seem to play in other DVD players pretty well, that was an issue for me. They will not play in my first generation Sony DVP-S3000...

    Sony DVD Recorder RDR-GX7 anyone have it?

    Norm, The 2 and 3 hour modes are very good. The 6 hour is not good at all, I won't use it. I use the machine to record cable tv and to transfer my 8mm camcorder tapes to dvd. The 8mm tapes transfer very well, they look real nice. The only things I don't like about it are, 1.No hard drive...

    Sony DVD Recorder RDR-GX7 anyone have it?

    Yes, I bought it a week ago. I have not had to much time to play with it yet though. I watched a couple of movies on it and the picture is nice. I also recorded a tv show that worked very well. The only thing I don't like is that it does NOT support dvd+r format. Some say that will be the...

    Help With Mits 55411

    Thanks for the reply Gregg. I was hoping that someone would have an easy fix or know something that I could try. I really don't like to call out service techs because I've heard how things can be made worse. If it gets bad I'll have to call, but I'd rather see if I can do something myself. let...

    Help With Mits 55411

    I have a problem with my tv when I display a black screen. It is easy to see it when I put the tv on and set to the input for the cable box(ant.B) and leave the cable box off. The right 1/3 of the screen is much darker than the left 2/3. There is a straight line separating the two different...

    Mits Under 3K Help - 311/411/511?

    The 411 has the better lens and quadfield focus. The 311 has neither, and the 511 has the better lens and no quadfield focus but has a built in hd tuner. I bought the 55411 4 weeks ago and love it. It is definitely worth the extra $200 over the 311.

    Mits RPTV-Grey bars and burn-in

    Jim, I bought the same tv about three weeks ago. I have grown very used to the stretch mode for 4:3. I really don't even notice anymore. I was watching football today and it looked great! Try to give it a little time, the picture gets much better the more you use the tv, not sure why but it...

    Buying anew Mistsubishi, need help

    You can get quadfield focus and a built in tuner, you have to step up to the 611 or 711. The 611 is not available in a 55" though. I don't have cable HD but it should look just as good from what I've heard. The built in tuner only gets off air signals so you would need another for premium...

    Buying anew Mistsubishi, need help

    I just bought the 55411 and had it delivered a week ago Saturday. This is a nice TV. I bought this one over the 511 because of the quadfield focus. I also heard that if you have direct tv or cable HD you will need their set top box anyway so I decided to not spend the extra money on the...

    New Mitsubishi Stretch Modes?

    Well it appears after I have tried a coulple of DVD's, that anamorphic or enhanced 2:35 can be zoomed to fill the screen and that non anamorphic 2:35 can be expanded to make the black bars smaller, not removed.

    New Mitsubishi Stretch Modes?

    Matt, Could you check something on your tv for me? Is there anyway to fill the whole screen on 2:35 DVD's? I tried one tonight and could not get it to zoom or expand to fill the screen. I know we should watch movies in their OAR but I don't want to risk any burn in. I know the chances of burn in...

    New Mitsubishi Stretch Modes?

    Matt, Thanks for the tip on the grainy picture issue, I have heard after it breaks in the picture gets better, I thought that may be BS though. I am glad someone who actually owns one can tell me the same thing now! It is not to bad, some channels are worse that others. The cable lines are...

    New Mitsubishi Stretch Modes?

    Brent, I just had the 55411 delivered yesterday. I too watch alot of 4:3 tv. I think the stretch modes look pretty good. There is more than one that you can choose from. I like the tv so far.

    Help Mitsubishi WS65311,WS55411,WS55311

    I am having the 55411 delivered on Saturday. I also looked at the 311 and 511. The 411 was the only one out of the three with the quadfield focus. It was $200 more than the 311 where I bought it. If you are spending that much spend the extra 2 and get the 411. I paid $2599, the cheapest I could...

    Mitsubishi WS-65311 VS. WS-65411???

    Brian, I just got back from the store and bought the 55411. I too was looking at the 311 and the 511 but neither one had the quadfield focus. The 411 was only $200 more than the 311 so I figured if I was spending all that I was what's a little more. It will be here next saturday, I can't wait.

    Ok, I'm gonna buy. Please help me choose between 3 different Toshibas. Thanks!

    If you have decided on Toshiba check out this one. The Cinema Series is supposed to be better. I think it can be bought for around $2700 Link Removed
