    Cambridge Audio dvd300 &JVC 70BK

    Alright, I've been having problems with the chroma bug, I hate it. I know it doesn't bother some people and others don't even know it's there. I bought the Cambridge Audio DVD300 yesterday with an updated C-CUBE chip inside with hopes of no chroma. Well it's still there! Even more so than in...

    Does the Toshiba SD-5700 have the chroma bug?

    Does anyone own this player that can tell me if it shows the Chroma bug? I heard the 4700 does and I'm currently looking at the 5700. Thanks Jeff

    Harman Kardon remote programming problems.

    I've got my Harman Kardon AVR110's remote to control my Nad dvd but not my Panasonic tv or my Onkyo CD player. I've tried all the codes in the book and a couple extra from the Harman website as well as the auto search mode. The remote controlled my old Panny but not my new model.The CD player I...

    Manufacturer won't fess up to the Chroma Bug!

    I just got off the phone with NAD. I bought a T-531dvd with the bug, but only showing up on very bright reds. I previously had a Marantz that showed the bug on just about everything. Marantz and NAD use the same platform by the way. I wanted to ask their tech people about the problem and if...

    Can anything be done about the Chroma Bug??

    I've got a NAD t=531 that shows the "chroma bug" on my new Panasonic. Can Nad do anything internally to fix this? Firmware or otherwise? Am I correct in saying that this problem is caused by the MPEG decoder? So would they have to switch to a new decoder or are there other ways they can tame...

    Problems with DVP-NS500v and 700?

    I know another member here was having problems with soft focus on 4:3 tv's with Sony's 700 model. I was wondering if anyone else that owns one of these has the same problem? I looked at both of them today and thought I noticed some softness with the 700, but the video wasn't that great, it...

    Sony DVP-Ns500V dvd/sacd player?

    Anyone own this model? I think it's similar to the 700 but with SACD instead of the progressive scan. I'm thinking of trading my Marantz in on this unit. Video quality? I've read a lot about it but always about the SACD playback. Thanks!

    Marantz and NAD using the same dvd players?

    I thought I'd repost this in the new specific section. I'm having a "dot crawl" problem with my Marantz Dv-3100. I'm looking at a NAD t-531 but I think they're the same player! The remote is the same, the display, the back panel, even the onscreen menu. So do they have the same parts...

    Different Brands, Same Dvd Player??!

    I'm having a "dot crawl" problem with my Marantz Dv-3100. I'm looking at a NAD t-531 but I think they're the same player! The remote is the same, the display, the back panel, even the onscreen menu. So do they have the same parts inside? Are Marantz and NAD linked together? Thanks!

    Can I play SACD on my set-up?

    Ok, I have a Marantz dvd player that I'm thinking of exchanging for a Sony dvd unit that also plays SACD's. Now I have a Harman Kardon AVR110 with NO 6ch preouts on the back. Can I play SACD's on this setup? Thanks!

    Panasonic Serivce Menu Help!

    Ok, I got into the service menu for the Panasonic tv's and to the part when it reads "CHK" in the upper corner. Then I can get to the "self check menu" where it list things like sound-ok CRT-ok, Comb-ok etc. Then what? What can be adjusted? I hit the arrow keys and it just take me out of...

    Paradigm CC-270 sonically matches what??

    Hey guys, I was going to buy a Paradigm CC-170 which sonically matches everything in the performance line. I've decided to go with the CC-270 which isn't yet on the Paradigm website. Anyone know which speakers in the line that it will match with? The salesman did mention the Mini's but...

    Can speaker magnets damage receiver?

    This may be a stupid question but it's something that I was wondering. I know that an un-shielded speaker can damage a tv but will it damage anything else like a receiver if it's too close? I'm getting new speakers soon, the mains are un-shielded and the right one will be very close to my...

    Energy EX:L's VS Mission M70 series.

    Ok, as I mentioned in an earlier post I am upgrading my Energy Take 5's. I wanted to jump up to the Ex:L series, most likely the 16's and Ex:l-C. My local Energy dealer went under earlier this year, so I went for a drive today to the next nearest Energy dealer to find out they stopped carrying...

    Energy Ex:L-15's over Take 5's??

    Hey guys right now I have the Energy Take 5 system with Energy's 10inch sub. I've had them for about 3 years. I'm looking to upgrade the front three speakers and maybe the rears later on. It's a small room and what I really want a difference in is the center channel speaker. So now I'm...

    Halo gets higher review than MGS2!

    Check out Gamespot.com they now have a review up of MGS2 which got a slightly lower score than Halo. Not a big deal. Anyway, has anyone noticed that besides Halo the XBOX games aren't getting that great of reviews? Check them out on Halo. On a side note this morning I stood beside 78 Xbox...

    Watch the Fast & the Furious DVD tonight!

    Tonight I watched an early release of The Fast & the Furious. It was a copy released to Rogers Video employees. I just happen to know someone that works there. I guess employees of places like Rogers and Blockbuster get copies of movies early in their stores but until recently it was always...

    Just Finished Devil May Cry!

    I got this game Friday night and couldn't stop playing it. It's great right up to the very end and leaves you wanting more. I rank it higher than Onimusha:Warloads which in my mind was the greatest PS2 game out there for action fans. Anyway lets post out final stats on our first times through...

    BlockBuster to Sell New PS2 Games.

    I was in my local Blockbuster today here in Ontario and saw an ad for Devil May Cry. Pre-order it for $65Can and get a free DMC watch. The clerk said that BlockBuster was going to give selling new games a shot. Seems like a good price, the watch is cheesy, good for a child though.

    New PS2 Remote and Drivers

    I just bought the new Sony PS2 remote that came out last week, and it's actually not bad. It comes with DVD drivers that you need to put on your memory card (2.2meg),that part kinda sucks. It does give you 3 speeds of fast forward which was badly needed though.
