    Black Hawk Down: SE

    I initially tried to load disk 3, in order to watch the History channel documentary, in my Cyberhome 500 but it wouldn't go past the "...views of the individuals in this presentation..." screen. So popped it into my trusty Toshiba 3108 and had no problem playing that disk and disk 1 (haven't...

    Why are DVDs more expensive than VHS now?

    I agree with what others have said before. It is simple economics. The studios are willing to supply the DVD with "x" features at "y" price. We as consumers are willing to pay "y" price for "x" features.

    JFK (any good?)

    My only beef withthe 2 disk set is that it lacked the Scotish Snare Drums playing over the opening sequence like the theatrical version and original VHS and DVD release had. But, it may bother me only because I am a percussionist and enjoyed that original sequence very much.

    having trouble calibrating subwofer

    So, I went back last night and checked my settings. I have my other 5 speakers set to small, so I don't think that is the problem. But in general CD's generally don't have the punch I think they should, which leads me to think I have my calibration wrong. On the other hand, when I play a...
