I just saw Baraka, and really loved it. Are there any other movies out there like that?

I'm up to 99 now. Wow, that's a lot of movies, and yet whenever I go through my collection, I find myself wanting more. Big surprise, right? You can see my collection by following the link in my sig. So....what should I get to celebrate 100 DVDs???

I saw a preview of this film on E!. Here's a link to some info... Link Removed

:emoji_thumbsup: :emoji_thumbsup: I just picked this up tonight. I have been hoping for a DVD release of the Points of Authority animated video, and this DVD-A release has it, as well as two other videos. The multichannel mixes are very well done. I'm not usually a big fan of remixes, but I...

I saw a Linkin Park video the other day...forget the name of the song though. The video was amazing, it was an anime-style thing with tons of battling robots and stuff, and I loved it. Anyone know if this is on one of their DVD's?

I currently have a Mits 55807 RPTV which I have tweaked a bit and am quite happy with the picture quality. However, after seeing some FP setups in my local AV store, I would very much like to get a large screen FP system! Assuming I can sell my RPTV for about $1500 or so, I would have $3k-$4k...

I've been thinking about getting a 2-channel external amp for music or even a 6/7-channel amp for HT. Just wondering if you've noticed a big improvement by doing this, and if so, what amps you are using. I've never used a stand-alone amp before, so I'm not sure if there's much to be gained...

I'm a little new to buying classical music, but I really love this piece. I went to the record store and found about 5 or 6 different recordings, which varied in price from $7 to $19. Can anyone suggest a high-quality recording of this piece?

Are the channel level and delay settings in effect with the external decoder inputs? The reason I ask is because I usually listen to music with the analog outputs of my 3800 player. I have the same channel level and delay settings on the 3800, but I wonder if I am doubling the effect of these...

I've been in touch with someone about getting a bottom-up calibration done on my Mits 55807 by someone who many regard as THE calibrationist for Mitsubishi RPTVs. The issue is that it would cost me $750 to calibrate a set for which I paid $2750. This seems a little steep for me. The alternative...

I'd like to set up my 3802 for video switching, but after researching the manual, I don't see any way to do it. I have two component video feeds: 3800 DVD player Scientific Atlanta HD cable box An S-video feed: Cable box (for non-HD output full-screen) And composite: Sanyo VCR...

As you may know from reading my other posts, I've been comparing the Pioneer 47A, the Rotel 1080, and the Denon 3800. Today I came to the conclusion that for audio and video, the Denon is the winner, so I bought one. I just hooked it up tonight, and the first thing I did was run through the...

Since I bought my Mitsubishi WS-55807 a year and a half ago, I've been trying to get an ISF calibration done. I live in a medium-sized city that doesn't have a large HT market, but was pleased and surprised to find that there was one ISF-certified technician in my area. He came over about one...

I went to my local HT shop today to check out some DVD players for a possible upgrade. My current unit is a JVC D723, which has a great picture but so-so audio. My main goal for the upgrade is to improve the CD and DVD audio performance of my system. The rest of my system consists of a...

For the last year I have been using a JVC D723 with my Mitsubishi WS-55807. Recently I upgraded receivers, giving my Yamaha 5240 to my brother and purchasing a Denon 3802 (just like millions of other HTF'ers ;) ). I was quite impressed by the upgrade in sound quality with the new receiver, and...

I have a Sony RM-AV2100 touchscreen remote, which was working just great until I got my new Denon 3802. I used code 027 for the receiver. Using this code, I can turn the power on and off, adjust volume, and change some of the inputs. However, the DVD and TV input buttons don't work. And for...

I've been using a RadioShack SPL meter (C, slow) to calibrate my speakers/amp. The question I have is, should I aim the meter at my rear speakers while doing this? Normally I calibrate by holding the meter in front of my face and pointing up. For the fronts, there is really no difference...

I recently bought a Denon 3802 receiver, which has component video switching. However, I can't figure out a good way to get it to work with my TV. The reason is because I have the following sources: - DVD progressive component - Cable box S-video (to cable input of TV, to view stretched) -...

Specifically, I am wondering how 5.1 material sounds played through "matrix" and "non-matrix" 6.1/7.1 modes. Is it an improvement, or better to turn of the surround back speakers in 5.1 mode? I will be picking a 3802 up tomorrow. Since I just upgraded my center channel speaker, I was planning...

I'm thinking of upgrading my entry-level Yamaha receiver. It works fine, but at higher volume levels the sound is a bit harsh. I'm basically looking for something with very clean sound, I'm not very interested in lots of other features. I went to the home theater store here locally, and was...

I watched this movie (again) last night, and was simply swept away by the music that Andy Dufresne played over the prison intercom system. Does anyone know the name of this piece? I'd like to get it on CD.

I'm thinking of upgrading my DVD-player. My system is currently made up of consumer-grade equipment, with a JVC D723 prog-scan DVD player, and a Yamaha HTR-5240 receiver. About 5 years ago, I had the opportunity to audition a NAD CD player at home, and I was stunned by how much better it sounded...

I was a little bummed out last night when I watched Yojimbo. It was presented in 2.35:1, but was letterboxed. I couldn't zoom the image on my widescreen HDTV, because then I lost the subtitles at the bottom. Any reason why this was not made with an anamorphic transfer?

I have a 55" Mitsubishi WS HD RPTV. As some of my favorite Kubrick movies are lamentably in 4:3 AR, I have to watch these either stretched or with gray bars on the side. I prefer to watch them in 4:3 mode to maintain the proportions of the picture, but I'm worried about my screen burning in...

Your recommendation? I'm pushing play in 5 minutes, so tarry not :)

I thought he played an almost-perfect Dr. Smith. The original TV Dr. Smith was a little more nervous and less confident, but I just love the crafty, intelligent aura that Gary Oldman projects in this role. Too bad he didn't get more attention for this.

I was thinking of ordering some keep cases to replace all of my flipper boxes. Can you just take apart the flipper box and place the cardboard cover material in the plastic sleeve? Or would I have to find scans and print them on regular paper?

I've never had a Laserdisc player before, but since it seems like it will be a very long time before Star Wars and Indiana Jones are available on DVD, I thought I might try to pick this stuff up on eBay. Is it worth it? Or should I just try to get some widescreen VHS tapes?

Here is my front wall setup: L---HDTV/Center--sub--R This fills up the whole wall. All of my electronics are on top of the TV :frowning: I was thinking of moving the sub behind the R speaker so that I have room to place an equipment rack where the sub is now. I don't have enough room to put...
