I haven't seen any official releases yet but Amazon.ca and .com are reporting the release day to be August 23, 2005. No specifics but I can't see it being anything other than the Region 1 by Tartanfilms. But like their Region 1 releases of "Tale of Two Sisters" and "Samaritan Girl", I'm sure...

Hello, I noticed the new Sony's will include an ATSC tuner and Cablecards as well as the current NTSC tuner. I'm a little confused about the ATSC tuner and Cablecards and how it will be used currently and in the future. I live in Toronto and subscribe to cable. Upto channel 70 or so, is...

Hi Everyone, I was looking for some Korean DVD's and decided to venture to this large Asian mall in town where they have many DVD shops. Keep in mind I am very new to the whole international dvd thing. I got Musa (2 disc), Taegukgi, and Shilmido. I had an inkling that these weren't legit...

Hello! I have this minisystem that I would like to hook up to my computer as I sometimes watch movies on it. I want to use the minisystem for sound because the speakers are much better than the computer speakers I currently have. Unfortunately, the minisystem doesn't have any RCA inputs(!!!)...

Hello My 36FS13 has the oversqueeze problem with viewing in 16:9 mode. I've done my searches but I've come up with conflicting solutions. Some say to adjust ASP and some say to adjust ASP1. Which one is it? Thanks. Andy

Hello all, I heard this song on the radio and I don't know who sings it or what its called. I'm dying to hear it again and its killing me. Anyways, the only information I can offer in hopes of finding the song name and singers are: 1) its a duet with a man and a women 2) the women sounds...

Don't laugh! I'm having a very hard time with it. After having my Wega for a few months and it only being calibrated by THX Optimode, I bought the Sound and Vision disc. Generally, has anyone else found calibrating extremely difficult and frustrating?!!?!? It sounds silly but I just can't...

Hi, When I first got the television and tried the 16:9 mode, I was blown away and told myself I would never go back to 4:3 mode. With 4:3 you can see the scan lines and such. But recently, I've noticed with some discs that 16:9 mode will cause more artifacts (?) to appear in certain scenes...

Hey! I just picked up this movie (couldn't wait for no SE) today. I only have a 2 channel system (played thru the TV speakers). Has anyone else with a 2 channel setup find the downmix of the 5.1 track really difficult to listen to? I thought the downmix really muffled the dialogue, in...

Found this on the web: Pearl Harbor Cover Art pic #1 It looks like R2 might get this also: Pearl Harbor Cover Art pic #2

Hello, I've got a couple of cable TV problems. 1) When I have my VCR and TV in the standard hookup(cable into VCR, then VCR to TV), the signal of the cable degrades pretty badly and that's when I'm using the TV's tuner. This is evident with the higher channels. Things past channel 40 get...

Hi, I just bought a the 36" KV36FS13. 16:9 looks amazing by the way. The problem I'm having is that it 16:9 option won't stay on and be saved. If I were to get out of the video mode and then go back into video, 16:9 enhanced would be deselected. I would just like to have it default to ON...

Hello, As I await the arrival of my new TV in store, I've been thinking of calibration. I've got a few discs with THX Optimode (the latest being Romeo and Juliet: SE). Ideally I would like to avoid buying Avia or VE as they are pricey in Toronto. My question is: Will the THX Optimode...

I'm on the verge of buying the Sony Wega KV36FS13. In Canada its going for $2300 +free stand. If the new ones are coming out soon, I might want to hold off and see what improvements they would offer...but that free stand deal is nice (considering its $300 here) and only last till the end of...

Hello, I'm in the market to finally upgrade my 27" TV. For $2400 (CAN) I can get: 1) 36" Sony Wega (not HDTV ready) 2) 43" Sony RP TV For $1400 I can get: 1) 36" Panasonic TV. Those are the 3 choices I've sort of got it down to. I need some suggestions because I don't have a lot of...

Hi! I have a Dolby Pro Logic receiver and I am thinking about upgrading to a digital receiver that has Dolby Digital/DTS and so on. However, my current setup allows for only 2 channel listening right now for music and mainly for movies. I anticipate that my setup will remain a 2 channel one...

Does anyone have any updates on the PH: Vista Series discs? Its been a while since I've last heard of anything... There was a big confusion as to the street date shifting back and forth and I'm really still not sure when its suppose to come out. How about the extras...I just hope nothing...

Hi, I'm shopping around for a TV. I was thinking about the Sony Vega's. They are pretty pricey however. I noticed that Sony also has rear-projection TV's that are much larger than the Vega's top 36" however the price is almost the same...why is that? For example the Sony Vega 36" will...

The Subject says it all. I remember in a few posts a while ago that this line was discontinued but I don't think it was really confirmed or not. The energy site still lists them in their product line. I'm just getting confirmation before I decide to dive in a get some energy's.

Hi everyone, Basically I have this boombox with 2 inadequate speakers that I have hooked up to my computer that I listed to. Now, I have a Mission center speaker that's currently in the closet doing nothing. I think I would rather reap the sound of that Mission (albeit mono, since I'll only...

Did I read that right over at the Digital Bits? Is this the korean "Shiri"? Does anyone know what we can expect? I heard the 2 disc region "0" was quite good.

Hello, I'm thinking about upgrading my receiver but I not that familiar with them really. I've heard of some receivers being characterized as warm/bright. How do I go about shopping for a receiver? Should I be looking more at build-quality, and the features it has rather than what it sounds...

Hi, I've got a Sony Trinitron that's pretty old. Recently I've noticed that every few minutes or so (sometimes sooner), different spots of the TV (predominantly the corners) would turn green for about 1 second and then fade to normal. Sometimes it will flash as a wave or bar as wide as the...

Over at the Michael Bay website, the dude who hosts it says it will be this spring. He's had correspondence with Bay in maintaining the site and this latest news he said is straight from Bay himself. Here's the link: Link Removed I don't recall David Prior ever confirming that the DC was...

Hi! The way things are shaping up, I think the Superbit collection by CTHV will start the trend for the future of DVD. You have people who complain about supplements being fluff, people complaining about movie being spread across two discs to include supplements, and it seems like the novelty...

I wanted to rent Lawrence of Arabia that's available at my Rogers Video but it seems to be a different version, than what is being sold at all etailers. It comes in a box like packaging, exactly the same as how Pearl Harbor is packaged, and the back is completely blank except for the movie...

I really liked this movie and was wondering if there are any plans in the future to revisit this movie. I can't find any reviews either for it on DVD. Thanks! Andy

Hi! About a year ago I made a flexy rack with MDF wood. I painted them black and while it works, I never really liked the black finish and did not like how it displayed all the dust it picked up! I'm thinking of replacing the shelves using some kind of "real" wood instead. However, I'm not...

The tuner in my Technics receiver is piss-poor at receiving AM stations. Infact, the little tiny Sony dream machine alarm clock in my room blows my receiver away when it comes to AM reception. I can barely get ANY at all! I've tried the AM loop antenna that came with the receiver and have...

I was wondering about the movies (hollywood and not IMAX) that they frequently show at the Cinesphere in Toronto. I know that the screen is 6 stories high and that for IMAX movies, they show it on the whole screen. How about for hollywood movies? They frequently use to play "The Matrix" and...
