Darn you Scooter, thats what I just bought them for. Now everyone will have the same theater chairs as me. I bought 3. They may have generic leather, but the swivel-rocker-recliner features with ottoman (also a rocker) along with the comfort can't be beat for that price. They are almost too...
Johnson_B, don't forget about columbia house eighter (go over to dvdtalk.com club forum for that). I quickly built my collection this way. Using them you get new DVDs and you get to choose which ones. IMO much better than buying collections from Ebay where you may already own a few.
thanks Mark...
first off, my name is Sébastien, my family name is David.
don't worry, at least half the anglophones I meet make that mistake!
FYI, there are many Americans who call peope only by their last name. I would kill for soemone to call me David, its a studly name.
Hmm. Well, to tell you the truth, I'm 12. So you can imagine why I'm forbidden. But don't let that stop you from recommending R titles for my collection.
WTF? This is sad, I can't imagine growing up and missing all the good movies because of my age. I was allowed to watch any movie I wanted...
To check out a set in a store, here's what you would have to do. Sadly, practically no store would do this:
1. Connect it to a progressive-scan DVD player with component cables.
2. Lower the light to 10% of the average screen brightness and make sure there's no reflection on the screen...
David people have tried different DVD players and the disc has the same problem so I think in most cases, DVD players can be ruled out.
What I meant was: Is it possible that the disc is perfect before playing, then the dvd player is so hot that it melts the glue in a way that makes it...
Is it possible that it is the DVD players fault, I noticed my new Sony 700p gets the disc very very hot compared to previous dvd players.
So is it possible that the player is reheating the glue or something. It seems the most of these problem occur at the dual layer switch from what I have read.
Well while your collection is small, I'll advise you to keep it that way and only buy movies you really like. I now have just a few under 300 DVDs, i bet there is at least 100 of which I'll never watch again. I just can't seem to figure out where to start trimming it down, and I'm still buying...
I remember during X-files season 1 (I think the shape shifter episode where the thing goes through air vents) Sculy and Mulder sit down in front for a TV, yet in the reflection of the Tv you see a whole bunch of different people.
H.H.Gregg rocks, not sure how many are outside of OHio. My sister went to the one in Chilicothe and bought a dented store display Refrigerator cheap. Just as they started wheeling it out the manager stopped them and said the fridge was already sold. They gave my sister a brand new unit of the...
Thanks many times over for providing an interlaced review.
I have a quick question for anyone. Does anybody think there would be a difference in the playback of the sonys DVP-NS700p and DVP-NS400D while in interlaced mode?
"I was going to respond to this, but Mike Knapp said it well. Ignorant means uneducated, not stupid.
Calling someone who doesn't understand p&s ignorant is no more an insult than calling Mike an elitist bastard."
"Ignorant", like many other words, has a slang meaning and stupid is one of them...
"So, yes I think most of these people are ignorant, and need to be educated. And I for one will continue to do so."
Instead of ignorant, how about uneducated. Your voice will be heard a lot more.
I didn't have time to read all the replies, so I don't know if this has been posted.

The receiver goes into a temporary suspended mode when no sound is being sent to the receiver. So the split second it takes your DVD player to switch tracks causes the problem. I have notcied this too, but it doesn't bother me as I try to get through those previews as fast as possible. But I...
Heres my shot at the low end number, 1200 was not reasonable to include a TV, so I raised it to $1500:
TV: Toshiba CZ32V61 -- $590, shipping/tax will be more Link Removed
Receiver: Kenwood VR-507 -- $260.00 shipped http://www.etronics.com/product.asp?stk_code=kenvr507
Sub: Sony SA-WM40 --...
I ordered mine from www.xtremeshopper.com just last week. More expensive, but way cheaper shipping. Ended up being just over $180 (158.99 + 21.85 ship.) for me. But the key was the turnaround which was very fast. I ordered last Monday Night and received it on Friday. Its a NY based Company.
I...
As I said before, this is from personal experience, I don't judge a product without using it. I certainly wouldn't knock a product just because one company say theirs is better.
Here were my troubles:
Radioshack splitter: This was A 2-way Radioshack splitter. Used to display a cable signal on...
WOW, I sure hope the Panny can come that close to the ATI Radeon. I'm planning on buying the Panny next month and I just can't imagine it even comming close to the radeon. No DVD player I have tested yet has.
How good are JVC theater systems?
I noticed next weeks Best Buy ad (July 22) will have the JVC DSTP450 system for $500 (100 watts/channel and 120 watt powered sub), and you get a free $130 Apex DVD player and home theater coupon book free instantly.
P.S., my duck does quack DTS, I bought an...
