    Things I wish I would have done differently in my project

    More media storage, a dedicated zone for heating and cooling, a rear speaker wire and how in the world could I forget an Cat-5e cable from my router...dumb.

    DVD ETC. MAGAZINE POLL: "The Top 100 DVDs of All Time"

    1."Star Wars Episode II The Attack of the Clones" Quite possibly the "must have" demo disc of all time. The reason to own a home theater. 2. "Citizen Kane" The masterpiece is restored in all it's glory. Now film students have a reference disc to view again...and again and again... 3. "T2...

    Good WWII DVDs for history?

    Certainly "Band of Brothers" although it's length might be a bit daunting. I'll second the "Tora! Tora! Tora!" nomination. How anyone who saw that movie could ever watch "Pearl Harbour" is beyond me. Not as historically accurate but "Midway" comes to mind as well as "The Longest Day". One...

    "The Warriors"--anyone have an opinion on it?

    Bought the DVD the day it released. I have a real soft spot for the flick as it was a favorite when I was growing up(a local station seemed to have a penchant for it and showed it every other Fri. late for like a year). Very colourful transfer, no doubt as good as we will ever see it but I...

    Who owns the rights to "Grand Prix"?

    And while I'm on the subject, how about "Lemans". I've looked around and find it very difficult to get any information as to when (if ever) these two titles will be released on DVD. Any information would be helpful. Considering the subject matter and the lack of good racing movies...

    Audio dropouts on Glengarry GlenRoss?

    Is anyone else experiencing this during DTS playback? I was getting minor dropouts through my Marantz 4200 and Hitachi DVD player. Is this a known issue or is it just me?

    Please list your top 5 favorite dvd's

    Gladiator. Just awesome all around Se7en. Fantastic sound and great extras The Matrix. It's what got me into this madness in the first place Toy Story Saving Private Ryan(DTS). Reference sound and video. Dances with Wolves(DTS). Since I can only list five, these are the must haves.

    My Toshiba died. I need help picking a new DVD player

    Hi Brian, I looked at the RP-56 last week and was very impressed. But, since your only inputting to a regular TV, the progressive scan feature doesn't do you any good. If it was me, I'd just grab a cheaper player(Sony 400 maybe?) and save the coin. By the time you get the Widescreen, progressive...

    How do you set up your TV audio?

    So far with my 4200, DPLII sounds very good with just about any Stereo source. I mostly use a Direct TV reciever(stereo output only) and a Digital Cable reciever(Scientific Atlantic). I agree that older programing is not great but it's gonna sound lousy no matter what you do.

    DTS track problems with "Fast and the Furious"

    I was one of the lucky guys who happened to find a copy early. Don't ask, I ain't tellin. BTW, it was my fault. I'm still getting used to my new receiver and I guess I messed up. I'm still not sure what I did wrong but if I can get the same thing to happen again, I'll tell you how I did it...
