I have tried increasing the power going to my center speaker but it doesnt help much. Currently I have it on +8. I don't own a SPL meter so all my checks are by ear. I live in the UK and havent found anywhere where I can purchase a SPL meter at a reasonable price. Currently all my speakers...
Hi, I have been having problems with my center speaker. The Audio is very quite/muffled when there is lots going on in a movie. For example in the Pod Race seen in Star Wars Episode 1 you can't hear the two headed commentators and some other audio during the race. You can hear them...
I also think that the majority of HT and Hi-Fi magazines arnt worthy of even being used as toilette paper. However over here in the UK I reguarly read "What Hi-Fi". This magazine whilst not being a dedicated HT magazine does reguarly cover HT equipment.
This magazine does not mind calling an...
Chris Beveridge,
You may have already figured this out but Ill let you know anyway.
1200 DVD's with lets say an average viewing time of 2 hours gives your (1200 * 120) 144000 Mins of Viewing which is (144000 / 60) 2400 Hours.
With 24 Hours being in each day it would take you (2400 / 24) 100...
My opinion on TPM is this:
1) The film is good (watched it 3 times now)
2) The special effects are excellent but didnt integrate 100% with the actors (this is expecially noticable when watching the DVD)
3) Ja-Ja anoyed the hell out of me
4) Parts of the film had to much of a Disney feel to...
I do agree that the ending of the book did make me feel a little uneasy. But I put it down to the drugs!!!
However I did think the Sub plot in the book was as intreging as the main storyline.
A bit off topic but relevant to the Hannibal movie.
I watched this movie in the Cinema and quite liked it. I went away thinking not a bad film but it could have been better.
A month or so later someone lent me the Hannibal book and so I thought it would only be polite to read it. After...
Thanks Hendrik,
I now know what your tripping on about. :)
I was aware of the speed-up issues related to pal and the resolution issues related NTSC. I however have never heared of it being refered to as the 'Chipmunk' or 'Judder' effect.
Do you think there will be any diffrence between the...
Chipmunk Effect?
Judder Effect?
Excuse my ignorance but what are you tripping on about ?
And i take it from the response that there would be no reason to wait for the Region 1 release?
Ok a bit of a stupid question.... One learns from his mistakes!
Now that we have cleared up why its being released in the land of Oz first is there any reason for me holding out for the Region 1 release ?
Why is Moulin Rouge being released in Australia 2 weeks before it is being released in America?
The release date for Moulin Rouge on R1 is the 18th December (according to play247.com) and the release date for Moulin Rouge on R4 is the 5th December (according to Ezydvd.com.au)
Is there going to...
Thanks for the info.
I have got two stereo amps in mind, the NAD 370 as previosley suggested and the Sony TAFB940R.
My personal preference would also be the NAD but as I can pick up the SONY TAFB940R for half the price of the NAD is it worth paying the extra (£200) for it ?
Also as my SACD/CD...
Do you need to buy a amplifier desighned to be used by SACD player or will you get the improved sound quality on any amplifier (in comparison to regular CD's).
The reason I ask is because I have just purchaed a SACD player and I am currently running it through my Sony DB930 receiver. I know...
Where is the best place to buy SACD's over the internet?
I live in the UK so they would have to provide international shipping.
Any help would be appreciated.
Is either 'Video Essentials' or 'Avia' Available in any other region other than region 1.
I have managed to find 'Video Essentials' in Region 4.

From you list I only know of 'Private Parts' being available in anamorphic widescreen on R2 PAL.
I don't think that 'The Abyss' will ever be available in any region sporting an anamorphic transfer.
I think that both the 'Lion King 2'and 'Little Mermaid 2' are both presented in 4:3 and so arnt...
The region 2 release of TERMINATOR is due out next week and the 2Disc special edition looks very impressive.
My question is will this release have anything cut out of the film in comparison to the R1 release and when the special edition R1 version of TERMINATOR is released will it have any...
