    LOTR BluRay Extended Cut?

    Please forgive me if this has been discussed before, but I didn't see it when I did a search. Has there been any official mention an EE release date?

    Viewsonic Cine1000

    I just won this projector. It is a good entry level unit, that I have read very good things about. I'll be using it for movies and don't plan on using it for high def tv. I would like to get a DVD player for it, but don't know if I should get a progressive player or opt for an upconverting...

    I was given almost $100.00 of Blockbuster gift certificates in December, for my birthday and went to my local blockbuster (north-east Toronto area)to buy the 12 disc set of LOTR. I figured it had come out for Christmas and I might have to wait for it to come back in to stock. Well, I'm still...

    Projector Problem. Please help

    I borrowed an X1 from our supplier to show my daughter's wedding video at a party this Sunday. I hooked it up to check it out and immediately saw a bright white line right down the center of the image. It makes no difference if there is a video input or not, it is always there...right down the...

    DTS-ES and a 5.1 System

    This has probably been asked previously, but I can't find it. I have a 5.1 system. If I am playing a DVD with both Dolby Digital and DTS-ES and used the DTS-ES track, would my amp decode it properly, or is it better to stay with Dolby Digital? In other words, will a 5.1 system properly decode a...

    Help with setting up a remote

    Hi All, I have a Sony VL900 universal remote. I'm very happy with it, but I have a question. My DVD player (a Sanyo) is not pre-programmed, so I had to teach the Sony to run it from scratch. For simplicity, I programmed it so the functions are the same as the set-up in the user guide for...

    24" flat screen TV's

    I'm helping my folks who are looking at one of the 24", non high definition, flat screen TV's. They have a Toshiba 20" that is doing some weird colour changes and don't feel its worth it to spend a lot of money repairing it. A 24" will give them a nice size improvement without being too large...

    Toshiba 36AX60 and 6500K

    I've had this TV for awhile and have set it up using Video Essentials. Before doing so I asked a tech at Toshiba which of the built-in color temps was closest to 6500K. He advised that it was probably the medium. There are Cool (blueish), Medium (neutral), and Warm (Reddish).That is how the...

    Subwoofer cable advice

    I need a subwoofer cable and could use some advise. Bettercables, Catcables and Kustomcables all make what look like quality sub cables at a very reasonable price. Also, you can pay up to a few hundred dollars on a sub cable from audio stores. I won't be using this for a high end system...I'm...

    I had previously asked about the Sony STR DB840,(thanks again to those who helped me with that), and may still be able to get one in my price range. But, just in case things don't work out, I would appreciate your advise on recievers in the $500.00 Canadian price range. Some I've seen are the...

    Sony STR DB840 - Opinions

    I would appreciate your opinions on this reciever. A friend and I are each considering buying one. He has a relative in the business who recommends this model over others in it's price range. I don't know what he is going to charge yet, but I'm sure it will be a very competitive price. The...
