    DVD makers - PAY ATTENTION

    When I put a DVD in can I go straight to the movie? If I want to watch the previews I'll do it - Don't force me to watch them Your warning about commentaries not being the view of the studio - I don't need to see this if I'm not watching the commentaries. Make the warning part of actually...

    Things that shouldn't be

    That's what I'm saying, really. Put all you want in there, studios, but, when I start a movie, it should go straight to the menu. If I choose "commentaries" then give me the commentary warning I see no reason at all for the video about "you wouldn't steal a car". There's already an FBI...

    Interesting problem with Pioneer DVF-727

    It's recognizing Hitch and Are We There Yet as the same disc. Let me dive a little deeper into the problem .... If I can the text for one of them it changes the text for both of them .... to the same thing :angry:

    DVD Text - identification problems

    My DVF-727 is identifying Hitch and Are We There Yet as the same disc. If I change the info for one it changes both of them. :angry: MAKE IT STOP!!! I've tried all I can think of and still don't have a solution.

    Things that shouldn't be

    -- I have purchased several discs to find that, upon playing them, the first thing I get is this REALLY crappy music that goes along with this "Downloading is Illegal" video ....... HELLO! I've just purchased this, why am I subjected to this? -- The thing about the studio not being...

    Things I wish I would have done differently in my project

    Have someone else finish my ceiling. Measure the crooked walls (someone else built) so there's less gaps in my ceiling (because I assumed the walls were straight) Locate my equipment elsewhere. Put the in-the-wall-connections behind the equipment rack instead of the middle of the wall...

    How dark should carpet be?

    The last house I was in I had plans for two 8'x8' red (a dark red) squares with a 3' border of blue (a view from the top would look like a blue 8 with the 'holes' filled in red). The only problem with the room was the TV wall has a 3'x8' window with a streetlight just outside :angry: So...

    XM and Sirius are coming under attack by the music industry

    The only things I've recorded, without paying for, are artists/songs that are either very difficult to find or not even available on CD I had The Jarmels - 14 Golden Greats on order for 4 months before I gave up on finding it and recorded it from the internet. I've only ever heard one of the...

    I Bought A Sirius Boombox For Work....Satellite Newbie!!!!

    I haven't signed to satellite yet but I bought the Sirius Sportster system because the boombox has an auxiliary input (which I used at work with my CD changer) It says it's 5 watts but it's a great sounding 5 watts :emoji_thumbsup:

    XM, Still One Step Ahead of Sirius

    blah blah blah I can't stand talk radio. I'll be making the move to satellite so I can listen to MUSIC instead of obnoxious ads. And I'll probably sign up for both of them .... I've got an XM-ready head-unit for my '65 Imperial and I recently bought Sirius' Sportster (home/car/boombox)

    Multizone System: looking for config advice (long)

    Wayne Thank you for clarifying, I did see that. A secondary amp would be subjected to the same demands though. It seems to me the easiest way around that would be to amp each 'zone' seperately (after the switch) but that can be costly.

    Multizone System: looking for config advice (long)

    Just to clarify .... Some receivers have a powered Zone 2 (I'm guessing they'd have speaker connections) I've had 2 receivers with RCAs for Zone 2 --- the first one was a powered Zone 2 (multi-room/source) but you lost main surrounds with Zone 2 on. The second is just a line out requiring an...

    Pioneer Advise

    http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pn..._34976,00.html http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/pn...702355,00.html I'm thinking the newer one is the 814 as they typically start as series (700/800/900) and add 1 to it as the line progresses and the current 800-series is 815

    Restifying receivers

    I have a Pioneer VSX-D901S that has a short in the motherboard (as well as other problems, according to the repair shop). I REALLY like this receiver and it's capabilities/capacity. Is there any way to upgrade it to digital while retaining all it's other features?

    Are there any ...

    John Watson: That is a stiff price -- and I'd expect them to put all they could on the disc, not just one side. Dave Stark: The vinyl WILL be kept, just stored away as it is now. Christ Reynolds: I've done the LD replacement thing, of course I only had 20 movies, the only unreplaced...

    Pioneer DVD player doesn't like CDs

    Hmmmm ... I have the DV-F727 and have never had that problem. But then, I have the PDF-1007 for CDs so I've never actually put a CD in my DVD player ;)

    Are there any ...

    Companies that will do recording for you ... My parents have a ____load of LPs that I'd like to put on CD for them but the process is a pain in the neck.

    Phil Spector Arrested in Homicide.

    Phil is a freak of sorts ... Ever read Ronnie's book "Be My Baby" --- She spent her wedding night with her mother sleeping on the bathroom floor because his mother told him that she married him for his money and he went ballistic about it.
