I have a 10-year-old Sony STR series receiver and when I hooked up my new HD A3 HDDVD player (optical cable) and selected bitstream, the sound was echo-y and hard to listen to. I'm gathering this old receiver cannot handle decoding the Dolby Digital Plus signal from the new fangled HDDVD...

I have recently noticed what appears to be an annoying image artifact while watching several channels on Dish Network. When panning rapidly, colors tend to lag behind the luminence portion of the video signal. I am watching non-HD channels upconverted to 1080i with the 6000 receiver on a...

Oh joy! My favoritest South Park episode ever is scheduled to come on tonight ("The Return of the Fellowship of the Ring to the Two Towers"). I just thought I would let everybody else know as well. Cheers!

Hi folks. I need some advice on getting a short term replacement DVD player. Some questions: What is this chroma bug everybody keeps referring to? Which brands tend to have this problem? Does anybody still make the 2 disc changers? I was looking at the Denon DVD players and I was...

My days of watching movies in the theaters is over. I will not spend another dollar to see flashing red dots totally take me out of the movie experience. I don't know whose lame brain idea it was to place the dots in the middle of the screen, but I'm sure it could have been done without the...

I just ordered the S-1000 from SVS and, being the dumbass I am, didn't read the manual first. My consumer-grade receiver only has RCA outputs, so the question is: How do I hook it up? The AMP only has XLR and TRS inputs. Is a standard RCA cable the same as a two conductor, unbalanced line...

Seen at the digitalbits. I already have the Men In Black DTS DVD with no extras. I'm kind of curious how making this a SuperBit title would improve upon it. At 98 minutes, I kind of doubt they will split this across 2 discs to improve the image quality. Are they planning to redo the...

And the Best Picture is... HDTV My favorite part:

Every few days or so, I notice that the blue convergence seems to drift. I'll go through the convergence routine and get it looking good, but a few days later it will have drifted again. Is this a defect or is this the nature of the beast? TIA,

. . . I have been waiting for this for a month since they announced it. While watching it, I noticed that all of the historical footage, all of the 4:3 sourced video (presumably from camcorder) and about half of the period photographs were stretched to fit the 16x9 aspect ratio. :thumbsdown...

Can anyone enlighten me why the President ordered the hit on the Guy from Kumar(sp?)? TIA,

This is good news for those for those of us (HD enabled) who had to pass on the P/S DVD.

I know there are plenty of threads on the HP DVD, but the search function is not respoding today. Please bear with me. Is there a suggested Canadian e-tailer or two that has a good track record for customer service? I read on one of the sites that HP has both a french DD5.1 track and...

I can't remember where or when I watched this. I think I was drunk at the time. Anyway, I only saw the first few minutes of it. It was a black and white movie probably dated in the 40s or 50s. The movie starts with an older gentleman walking through a small town. He walks to the local...

Star Wars? Spidey? TTT? Well, I'm pretty sure its not that one. :D

I saw this last year and it looked pretty nice. I am looking forward to seeing it again this weekend. Woo hoo!

A man has taken hostages in a Dutch ofice tower protesting widescreen TVs as a load of creative nonsense being used to sell more TVs. Hmmmmm . . . can you say 'Settin a bad example.'? Hostage Drama at Dutch Skyscraper

I'm serious! I left my Sony DA333ES receiver on while I went out to lunch. I came home to the sounds of Niagra Falls (very loud white noise) and a smell of burning rubber. :eek: :eek: :eek: The tweeters on all of my Infinity speakers were melted. This sucks! Why does the DA333ES...

I was un-wrapping the fox demo DVD I acquired from Best Buy (yea for the smartie at best buy who stacked a few at the door for people who remembered at the last minute). I had to take off one of the stickers from the top (you know - the stickers that are supposed to stop people from stealing...

Hows this for wierd - I was testing the VPOS on RPTV (trying to get it centered and I was playing Cast Away to center a 1.85:1 image and then I put in The Long Kiss Goodnight to center a 2.35:1 image. I heard what sounded like the same music. I never noticed this before. A quick trip to...

I read somewhere (in some nameless magazine - I don't even remember which, now) that RPTV DLP sets would be supplanting RPTV CRT sets soon. I don't suppose this has started happening yet, has it? ------------------ Link Removed Paul Warren Hey fella . . . I bet you're still livin' in your...

I have a Toshiba TW56 connected to Dish6000 with the 65deg HTDV dish and 8VSB as well. The local HD channels and SHO HD and HBO HD are fine as far as black levels are concerned. However, when I view the std Dish channels, there is a problem with the blackest blacks. They are dark grey. The...
