I just received the new Sony Mex DV2000 multi disc player for my car. This is basically a SACD/DVD player. I bought this for under 200.00 after waiting all this time for something utilize my home music collection on the road. It doesn't decode DVD Audio but it does almost everything else...

Greetings i have just received the above SACD player for my car. http://www.xplodsony.com/video/av_centers/MEX-DV2000 This has a rating of 52X4 but RMS watts are 17X4. I ordered 4 of the EKA116 MB Quart 6.5 speakers without research. These are their budget models so it may have been...

My wife and I both enjoyed the movie and I look forward to a repeat viewing(at home) This was the first time in a few years that we ventured out to a theater. I was pleased to see that mono sound still existed and I wasn't distracted by subtitles for the first part of the movie as they had...

I have the Pioneer 578 with firmware issues. It works great but won't play Talking Heads collection. In Canada you have to send the player accross the country to get it updated. I went and bought a 588 for 99.00 Canadian instead. It wqrks perfectly and gives me a backup player. These are also...

I just received the Talking Heads Brick. Unfortunately I have a Pioneer 578 and can't play the hi-rez tracks. Living in Canada I would have to pay for the player to be shipped 3000 mi. to get it updated. On a positive note, their (Talking Heads) Stop Making Sense dvd-video still amazes me and...

I really enjoyed this concert and was very impressed with the sound quality, picture and content. The second time I watched it, my wifes brother was visiting from Ottawa. He is a blues singer himself and has met a lot of the performers over the years. This added to the enjoyment. I am very...

I have a Pioneer player that supports both DVD-A and SACD. While this is a medium priced player at best it still is a huge improvement over anything else I have had. Years ago I used to buy half speed mastered lp's trying to get audiophile sound. Twentyfive years later I am getting much better...

I have to concur with the Eagles, Marvin Gaye etc. If you have SACD capabilities, the new release of Dire Straits, Brothers In Arms is excellant. Regards Emmett

Matt just wanted to say that I didn't post the web address as I thought I may be stepping on Ron's toes.;) Regards Emmett

Fantastic sound and good picture. One of my top DVD's out of 40 music titles. Regards Emmett

Greetings Matt. I would like to recommend the FZ20 if you can get it in your budget. It is an incredible camera and bridges the gap between point and shoot and digital SLR nicely. Personaly I prefer the size and feel of the FZ20 over it's smaller siblings and the bulk of the market out there...

My wife really liked this movie. I wasn't able to watch the extras as the disc locked up again or we would have been up half the night. (This is my time to myself normally as my wife sleeps three hours a night more than I):) Regards Emmett

Andrew, as I mentioned in another thread, my copy froze at just past the 62 min. mark. The sound carried on though, which is a first for me. I was staring at Gwyneth Paltrow's head taking up the whole screen while the soundtrack had them on the flying aircraft carrier. Are there problems with...

I and my wife enjoyed this film. It was different enough to hold our interest. I had a problem at about the 62 min mark when the picture froze but the sound carried on. I had to shut the dvd player down and restart to get it going again. Regards Emmett

Allison Kraus, I believe it is called New Favourites. This is phenomenal. The Chieftains Down the Old Plank Road is excellant as well. Most of the ones already mentioned are in my collection and are excellant as well. Regards Emmett

I live in Nanaimo and A&B Sound is the best sourse for DVD-Audios as well as SACD. The Victoria area is the same but you have to know what you are looking for. The Hybrid SACDS such as the Stones, Dylan etc are mixed in with the regular stock. The Stones sacd's do not show SACD on their labels...

I wasn't a great disco fan but there was an artist, Cory Daye I believe who put out some great music. I have her album stored away with my lp's and look forward to listening to it in this century. (will have to buy turntable) I did the disco scene in Vancouver and it was a lot of fun...

I am a huge fan of QT movies. True Romance & Pulp Fiction are at the top of my all time favorites with Pulp being the only VHS movie I ever bought. (I have at least 150 dvd's) I will not go see Kill Bill or buy a dvd of part 1 or 2. When they come out together I will pick up a used copy so as...

Here it is "Good Review/Savior";) Seriously, this was an excellant movie and is exactly as you mentioned, hard to watch. I think everyone should see this with the exception of young children. It is movies like this that put the world situation in perspective. The world cannot stand by at let...

Try the Chieftains- Down the Old Plank Road. This is a collaberation with various artists and the recording is very well done. (This is also out on DVD which I haven't heard as yet. Will be getting it for my birthday- April 13th) Also the "O" Brother soundtrack is first rate an I heartily...

I purchased this around xmas but had to return it due picture breakup. I don't know if it was a fault of my player, Tosh 3109, the recording or just a faulty disc. I am planing on picking up the Harvest DVD-A to replace it. Regards Emmett

Roy, I have the 57swx20b Hitachi so maybe prejudiced. I did three months of research and decided to go with the Hitachi over the Toshiba. I am extremely pleased with the unit and would do it again. The picture quality is more than I hoped for, especially on SD satellite. I was able to...

Thanks for the reply Gregg. I had read the replies under red push but, as my problem was in the other direction, I was leery of making the adjustments. I adjusted as you suggested and the results are very good. I maxed out on some of the settings but managed to get the red from minus 25 to...

With blue measuring zero on AVIA, my red shows minus 25 percent and green is not far behind. I love this set but I am having color problems. Would this be greyscale or a decoder problem. I am aware of how to access the ISF settings but would really appreciate any input on which controls to...

I picked up Car Wheels the other day and I am enjoying in thoroughly. Highly recommended. Regards Emmett

I notice that there is very little posted on the subject of inwall speakers. I am building a dedicated HT room 11'X15' and the designer has specifically listed Triad Silver or Atlantic Technology inwalls to go with my Polk rt2000p mains and Polk CS400 center. After looking at the price on the...

I purchased Fleetwood Mac's Rumors DVD-A yesterday. After looking forward to hearing it all evening I put it in my 3109 Toshiba in the early hours and set down to relax and enjoy. It wouldn't even load so it's going back to the store. When I upgrade my TV I am going to get a new DVD player with...

I have actually seen the analog ones recommended. I got lucky and purchased one when the Radio Shack was clearing them out. I used the AVIA dvd to calibrate my system and they were showing the same one on the screen. Regards Emmett

I am in a position where I will be building a small addition this spring. Will 15x12' be large enough for a home theater room. I have large mains,small towers for surround and will be getting a widescreen direct view hd tv. This has come up suddenly and I would appreciate any advice on how I...

DTS 5.1 DD 5.1 than CD 2 I haven't the capability to play DVD-A yet but I have 5 DVD-A discs that I really like in DD or DTS. Regards EJ
