WHen reading the threads, it seems as if the US pricing of DVD's is higher than the Canadian pricing. I pay less than $24 Canadian (approx $15US) for most of my DVD's, and I just bought Monsters Inc this past weekend for $17.87 CDN ($11.59 US). Are we getting such a good deal up here (Shhhh...)...

Just bought a Sony KV32fs100, and the picture is a huge improvement over my 27" 12 year old Sony. Only problem seems to be a loud noise when the set is turned on. Dealer said it is no problem, but didn't really tell me what it was. Any ideas?

Just replaced my old old 27" TV with one of the new Sony 32" flatscreens, and want to ensure that I am correctly hooked up to my receiver and DVD player. I finally have both component and S video connections. I have a Toshiba DVD that has S video and Component out, and I have a Marantz 5200...

Don't hear much about this brand these days. I was recently over at a relatives and they had a BEOSYSTEM 9500 I think. Looked sleek, sounded Ok, but I think the thing cost a fortune. Are they the Bose of Europe, or a legitimate brand these days?

Going on a trip shortly and am not sure if I should unplug my receiver and other equipment. It is a Marantz 5200. WIll it lose it's settings if unplugged for a couple of weeks? What is the danger if I leave it plugged in?

I have a Toshiba 2710 DVD and a Marantz 5200 (no problems), and I have a couple of DTS related questions. When a DVD has DTS, I like to listen to that audio choice. I make the correct choice on the DVD, and then select DTS on my receiver. There has never been any problems with the movie it...

I am not sure what this is exactly, but just recently two TV channels seem to have "crosstalk" on them. I have a Marantz 5200 receiver, Sony 27" TV and a Toshiba VCR. Only when I am using the VCR as the tuner do I get this problem. I can hear the TV Channel that I should hear, but I also hear...

I have a Toshiba 2710 hooked up to a Marantz 5200, and when I pause the DVD, and then hit play, the video starts right away and the audio is delayed a short while (less than 1 second). I am new to DVD's and Home Theatre, but is this normal, or a problem with the player, or the receiver? What...

While I was away the remote for the SR -5200 needed a battery change and since then it has lost it's ability to work with the DVD, TV and VCR. Still works with the receiver. Did we do something wrong? Is this a common occurance. I will re-enter the codes for these items tonight, hope they...

I live in a small town just outside of Edmonton,Alberta and most, if not all of the DVD's the local video store carries seem to be in the Widescreen version. I am not sure if this is intentional on their part(I hestitate to bring it up in case they change), but it is much appreciated. The...

Sometimes, on some channels, I get a clearly audible buzzing or static noise during some commercials that have writing on the screen (Phone numbers, addresses etc.) This is not an all the time thing, but when it happens it is very annoying. I have standard cable, no cable box, and have the...

Where is the best (read cheapest) place to purchase an SPL meter and the AVIA disk. I noticed that the analog SPL at Radio shack lists for $39.99US on the US website, but their is no listing for the meter on the Canadian website.

A&B Sound is a major retailer in Western Canada and seems to promote the Pro-Linear line of speakers. International Stereo and a few others promote the hell out of Nuance speakers,(which seem to be garbage more or less). I have never seen the Pro-Linear line anywhere outside of A&B sound, nor...
