I have tried playing "Milk" and "Pineapple Express" in the last few days and both discs were reported to be unplayable. I upgraded the firmware from version 0.07 to 0.15 and that did not make much of a difference. I was able to load Pineapple Express once, but it froze after about 15 minutes...

I have my Oppo 980 connected to an Integra 9.8. I purchased both of these last year and was able to play multichannel SACD as DSD at that time via the HDMI connection. Recently I tried playing Dark Side of the Moon and noticed that it was only two channel and listed as stero on the Integra...

I am trying to watch a non-anamorphic widescreen DVD (The Ref) on my HD-A2. It is connected via HDMI to a Sony VPL-VW50 projector. Unfortunately the picture is window boxed in the center of the screen, with a lot of black on all sides. My previous DVD players often had a Zoom function that...

I have been watching my set for the first time this week. I noticed that a lot of the episodes show "sparkling" (small flashes of white dots). The problem is evident on multiple disks and via two different DVD players. I have not spent time trying to determine if the defects are identical on...

Does anyone (perhaps in Australia) know what happened to the release of this series on DVD? I know that seasons 1-3 were released, but I was surprised that 2 and 3 were full frame. Was the show changed from widescreen to 4:3, or did someone decide to release cropped DVDs?

I would love to see this classic Whit Stillman film as a widescreen release on DVD. Who owns the rights to it? I am forced to watch the P&S laserdisc and it is painful to watch some of the scenes; there are heads that appear to be chopped off and characters that are definitely missing from...

I was rather disappointed with the quality of this DVD. I was expecting the anamorphic transfer to rather good. Although I don't have the non-amamorhpic R1 version for comparison, I can't believe it is much worse. I was playing the movie on my Momitsu V880 which has done a good job with other...

My brother lives outside Tokyo and needs a DVD player for US releases. Are these readily available in Japanese stores or does he need to order one off the web?

Why do manufacturers insist on covering the front of DVD players and CD players with all manner of displays, LEDs and blinking lights? My home theater is a completely darkened room but I am forced to leave my component rack at the front of the room. If there are too many lights from my...

I posted this topic at another site, but I wanted to get some more coverage. I recently started thinking about upgrading my old Parasound CD changer to something a little more state of the art. It seemed reasonable to research changers since that is what I would be replacing. After doing a...

I really enjoy foreign films and don't mind subtitles. However I am getting annoyed at the number of DVDs that make movies unwatchable when they try and guess how the movie will be viewed at home. Of course I am talking about the annoying practice of placing the subtitles UNDER the frame (in...
