Although some discussion of this has appeared on page 2 of this HTF thread, I thought this was relevant enough to have its own thread so more members would be likely to see it. (I’m not sure if this topic belongs here in the Software forum or the TV and HDTV Programming forum.) Here is the...

Wayne, thank you very much. And thanks for referring to the article in Audio magazine’s July 1998 issue, which I have. Now I can review the spec charts as well. Thanks again. Andy

Does anybody know…please? Andy

Does anybody know what the bass management crossover low pass and high pass roll-off slopes are for the Yamaha DSP-A1? The manual indicates the crossover frequency is 90 Hz, but it does not mention what the roll-off slopes are for high pass and low pass. Thanks in advance.

I mailed my rebate on 11/27/02. I just received my rebate check ($10) today, 2/22, over 12 weeks after submission. I’m glad I got it, but the delivery was much slower than the 8 to 10 weeks noted on the rebate form. Also, I emailed New Line through their website on 2/10 and never received a...

Thank you all for your thoughtful and informative replies. For the record (no pun intended), I don't think my LP playback system is an issue. It includes a Sota Star Sapphire Series III turntable with vacuum hold down, electronic flywheel and reflex clamp, SME 309 tonearm, Alpha 2 moving coil...

Anyone? Please?

I would like to record LPs and burn them to CD-Rs for archiving and to create my own favorite mixes. What software do you recommend I use for this application? I would like the software to be user friendly, have basic editing capability (mostly to edit where tracks begin and end, sometimes...

What is a dipole speaker, and how and why are they used in a home theater? Allow me to confine my answer to the more ubiquitous conventional box type speaker basic designs and 5.1 channel movie (not music) surround sound. As most of you already know, a conventional speaker has drivers...

My DVD pet peeves: [list=1]Not OAR.Not anamorphic, including supplements.Compatibility issues, especially when the software is defective and the studio won't admit it."Jaws of death" spindles holding DVDs much too tightly in their cases.Security tags and stickers.Ultimate editions released...

Main L/R - Apogee Diva full range ribbons. Surround – Paradigm Reference Studio 20. Subwoofer – Velodyne F1800RII (allegedly with FSR18 amplifier, per Velodyne). Center – none.

Mailed my paperwork in 12/17/01. Received my first choice free DVD, Mercury Rising, on 2/27/02. A hole punch was made in the bar code area on the backside of the cover art sheet. The case was not damaged. The DVD plays fine. Received Beyond Jurassic Park bonus DVD and cardboard case today...

Toy Story Ultimate Toy Box. Great transfers, and great audio, especially Toy Story 2. Also chock full of fun and informative extra features. A terrific value. A wonderful box set that truly shows off the possibilities of the DVD format. Terminator 2 Ultimate Edition. Another film school in...

I purchased a Toshiba SD-3107 in August, 1998 and a Toshiba SD-1200 in March, 2000 (for DTS output capability). I still have both, and have had no problems with either machine. Together, they have played more than 300 different DVDs. The machine in the living room (the 3107 from 8/98 to...

Prentice, you are correct on both counts. Thank you. The 4293687 number is on the receipt on the far left column before the word “DVD”, but I do not find this number anywhere on the DVD case itself. The receipt also shows the store number as 0202. So does anybody know what the middle...

The following information may be useless, maybe not. I purchased Holy Grail at Best Buy on its release date last October, but never opened it due to the subtitle problem (turning on and off indiscriminately) reported in this thread. Hoping that the corrected disc has since found its way onto...

A very sad day indeed. His Large Advent loudspeaker (1974), and his Advent 201 cassette deck, with Dolby B noise reduction and high bias recording for chromium dioxide tapes (1975), got me completely hooked into this great audio, and later, home theater hobby of ours. May he rest in peace.

I have the same problem Neil described above. It happens on both my Toshiba SD-1200 and Toshiba SD-3107. Does anybody have a Warner Bros. DVD customer service phone number? Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Mark, the ISBN numbers on the box of your corrected version are the same as on my box with the bad subtitle problem disc. No identifying difference. Oh well. Thanks for sharing this info anyway.

FYI – For laserdisc fans, the “Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker’s Apocalypse” documentary was released by Paramount in 1992, catalog number LV83081. One may be able to find this laserdisc on an auction web site. I agree this is a gripping documentary.

I have the same red/yellow folders problem Bill described above (I’m using I.E. ver. 5.5). When I turn off the “browse board with cookies” option, the thread titles I had previously viewed are no longer marked in red, as if I had not ever viewed any threads. I have turned back on the “browse...

Mike, thanks very much for your clarification. I did not remember that the RKO/Turner/Image King Kong/Son of Kong version was released in 1993 as a 60th anniversary edition without Son of Kong. My 1991 RKO copy has the exact same text of “The King Restored” as your 1993 copy, except the phrase...

Mike, you asked, “Does anyone else have the feature running time of the Criterion and or the RKO version ?” The Criterion lists a running time of 101 minutes. The RKO version, which includes the Son of Kong, is the same disc you referred to in your reprint of “The King Restored,” as your three...

I have purchased three laserdisc players, all Pioneer, all used heavily, and all still in service. None have ever needed repair (see my one caveat below about the CLD-704). The models are LD-700 (purchased August, 1986), LD-S1 (purchased July, 1988), and CLD-704 (purchased September, 1996)...

I second Philip’s and Dan’s remarks about the DTS LD version of Casper. This is one spectacular soundtrack.

I purchased a Toshiba 3107 in August, 1998 and a Toshiba 1200 in March, 2000 (for DTS output capability). Both have performed flawlessly (except for the new Heathers DVD which caused problems for numerous DVD players from different manufacturers – also have not opened my copy of Monty Python...

Add to the DTS LD list (if you like these movies) Titanic and Independence Day. Both have superb sound.

I just received a letter from Consumer Reports to subscribe to their magazine. The letter says,

Update on my October 5 post above: I called the Anchor Bay customer service number noted in MikeEckman’s October 8 post above. Barbara was most helpful. She suggested to send the Heathers DVD to Anchor Bay along with a detailed letter explaining my playback problem. She said Anchor Bay will...

Thanks Mike. Will do.
