I'm looking for a good progressive scan, sub $250 DVD player. I don't need anything but DVD (no DVD-A, SACD, etc.). I have a new Mitsu 65" CRT RPTV (WS-65315) and want a better video feed than the Pana S27 that I picked up. The reviews I've read here and at AVSF seem to indicate that the...

I have a chance to upgrade my 26TX for a very reasonable amount of money. My options are for a 43 or 45. The 45 will cost me $120 more than the 43. I'm doing my research and reading up on this forum. Yes, I did do the searches. I've also downloaded and printed the spec sheets from Pioneer...

I relied on the forum a lot for speaker questions and help. However, now I don't check in to the forum very often. Just for reference, I have Paradigm Phantom (Phantoms), Atom (Atoms), CC-270, and PDR-12. I have these connected to a Pioneer Elite VSX-26TX receiver with Liberty Cable Ultra Cap...

DVD Player: Pioneer DV-525. Never had any problems playing any movie up until recently (Monsters, Inc.): Chicken Run plays fine in both DTS and DD up to around the 62nd minute (4 minutes into chapter 17). Then the video goes into a still frame and updates the still frame about every 15...

Just an FYI since many people seem to be asking about cost-effective ways to add banana plugs to their speaker wires. I had used Radio Shack gold screw on banana plugs, but they were $6/pair. I found that NXG seemed to be the price leader in banana plugs and ordered some from WatchCom.net...

Guy at work told me that banana plugs are the worst and that stripped bare wire held/crimped down by a screw was the best. I've always thought that the stripped wire route was the worst, spades were the best (well, actually, I thought BNC was the best, but have never seen consumer grade...

I live in Medford and we have no locals and probably never will (too small of a market to warrant locals and not close enough to any other major markets). After 2 years of switching between antenna and satellite, I've just about had it. It also has made running signals through the receiver...

I'm not a believer in expensive speaker wire and I don't intend to start a discussion along that vein. I use RS 12 gauge speaker wire but am very unhappy with the twist on/screw on banana plug terminations. They aren't very robust. I want a speaker cable that is factory terminated with...

Pioneer 525. Played CDs as recent as a few days ago. Last night I put in the new Dixie Chicks CD and it spit it back out. Now it spits every CD out that I put in. When I put in a CD, it spins around, starts and stops whirring several times (never plays any music), and then auto-ejects the CD...

This is not an advertisement! I am asking for purchasing advice. It suddenly became clear to me that my thread title might appear to be offering a deal (sales) to prospective buyers. There is no way for me to edit the thread title, though. Sorry. This is a follow-up message to this thread...

I only have local dealers for Paradigm and B&W, so I'm limiting myself to those two brands. I'm not a picky listener: Currently, I have a Pioneer Elite 26TX receiver, Pioneer DVD player, and Mitsubishi SVHS. Sony 27" TV. RL Speakers are some floor standing Sanyo speakers that came with a...

First, please move this to another forum, if this is the wrong place. Pioneer Elite VSX 26TX. It's 2 years old and was purchased new. It isn't driven very hard, though used daily. Connected to the receiver are: 3 very poor speakers, 27" Sony TV, Pioneer DVD player (digital audio coax)...
