Hello, I recently purchased a new Panasonic XR-55, and so far twice within the first month of owning it I got the overload error. Both times occurred when it had been on for an extended period of time (at least over 24 hours) and I would describe it as more than a bit warm on the left side. I...

I've finally gotten a Home Theater Receiver (Panasonic XR-55), and will be hooking it up to my computer this weekend. I'm hoping I can use the onboard sound. I have this board: http://www.biostar-usa.com/mbdetails...odel=tforce4+u On the motherboard is an SPDIF connection, and it came...

Hi All, I'm looking to buy a: 5.1 receiver (at least) 8-10'' subwoofer I'd like to find someone locally, I live in Ventura County, although Los Angeles County and Orange County aren't all "that" far away, and neither is Santa Barbara County either. I'm looking to buy these articles in...

I'm moving from Virginia to California in August and will be working in the Port Hueneme Area. I've heard that the place where all the younger people live is Ventura, but I'm looking at apartments in Ventura, Oxnard and Port Hueneme. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions for living in the...

First, let me thank you guys for releasing this show onto DVD. Now, I think the commentaries included on the Vol. 1 set were fantastic, the only problem is that although they were recorded for each episode, each disc only has 2 commentaries on it. Please, for Vol. 2 release commentaries for...

Just got e-mails from www.tvshowsondvd.com regarding Family Guy and Futurama. Family Guy "Volume 2" slated for September 9th. Futurama "Volume 2" slated for September 2nd. I just wanted to show my enthusiasm for this news. I was surprised neither David nor Gord started a thread...

Hello Everyone, I don't know why there hasn't been a thread started on this already, but, I read some information from www.joesightings.com that is quite interesting. "The first two-disc, ten-episode set will be titled G.I. Joe -- The Original Mini-Series: A Real American Hero & The...

Hello Everyone, I have an interesting story about trying to upgrade my dad to HDTV Dish Network. This weekend I visited home and finally convinced my dad to get that Model 6000 (w/8PSK) + 8VSB (OTA) system. So, like any earnest consumers who know what they are looking for, we gathered a...

Hello Everyone, I went to my local Wal-Mart today, was buying some $3 bedsheets and felt like padding the bill with a DVD. Browsed the DVD section, and noticed that my Wal-Mart at least has some pretty comparable prices ($15.19 for Training Day for example). Well, I couldn't find anything in...

I was meeting some of my neighbors in my apartment complex, and noticed they had a 27 inch Wega (FS200) set up in their common area. Also noticing that there was a DVD player and A Beautiful Mind DVD (Widescreen), I asked them if they even used the 16:9 enhanced mode on their TV, to which the...

Is there a D-VHS ban going on in this forum, or is the interest in D-VHS that small right now. I recall when D-Theater/D-VHS was released there was tons of buzz about it. Now I search the Audio/Video sources and Software pages and cannot find any threads with interest in DVHS at all. I'm...

I generally will pre-order my catalogs from DeepDiscountDVD, but recently Amazon has set up their pre-orders for most titles at 40% off (which will come out to 50% off with STL). This leaves me torn when figuring out what to do (especially since another DVD can be pre-ordered and even more money...

Does anyone know if Best Buy will have some sort of offer with these 2 titles like they did with LoTR:FoTR? I've been pre-ordering ahead of time lately, missing out on some of these deals like the LoTR Digital Coupon. Matthew Furtek

It is frequently mentioned that DTS tracks have the possibility of causing damage to equipment if used in an environment that is not DTS compatible. I'd like to understand more about this. Currently I have just the DVD player and TV setup, with DVD outputs going to TV inputs. I'm 99% sure if...

I have the JBL NSP-1 speakers, and due to an auto accident haven't been able to setup my system when I wanted to. Now it looks like I won't be able to until after I graduate, but I still want to buy a decent subwoofer, and set up the NSP's and sub in my dad's house. Right now, I've been...

Does anyone know an easy way to clean the nose-pads on glasses? Mine get dirty with sweat and the contacts between the frame and glasses have some green stuff on them. I can clean the pads off with q-tips to some extend, but the spaces here are very small. Matthew Furtek

Hello Everyone, I think what we are seeing right now is the beginning of a revolution in DVDs with all of these TV releases. Sanford and Son, the Jeffersons, I Love Lucy... etc. There are far more TV shows that need to be released in DVD than movies, that I believe most of the highly requested...

My dad has got Dish Network, and 43 inch HDTV. I'm trying to prod him into getting some sort of HDTV signal (we don't even have progressive scan yet). I was wondering if for Dish Network it is worth getting the 6000 + the 8VSB, or getting the 6000 with a 3rd party OTA receiver. Basically I...

I decided to go separates on a low-budget audio system.... first purchase was the NSP-1's for $250 (did not think I could find anything comparable). Next up is the receiver and I've got about $300 to spend on it. Hooking up 1) LD Player - Analog Video with Optical Digital Input (optical...

Can anyone confirm or deny rumors that Kenwood has filed for Chapter 11? Read on another BBS that this was true, but haven't heard anything substantial to go on. Perhaps this was the reason the HTB 505s haven't come out yet. Matthew Furtek

Hello, I'm gonna be taking a hard look at the new Kenwood HTB-505, and have learned that it comes with a VR-606 receiver. I can't find any specs or info on the VR-606, but what I did find are specs on the VR-6050. (www.crutchfield.com). From what I know of the HTB-504/544 line is that...

Hello Everyone, I'm gonna be on somewhat of a budget this summer, but my main purchase will be a nice new audio system for my budding "Home Theater". It seemed that I had settled on going for the HTB-505 that is coming out, but after reading the most recent threads regarding the Onkyo-600...

Hello Everyone, Just wanted to give people at heads up that the 4 Disney Vault titles are going to be 19.99 at the B & M Disney Stores. Price wasn't on the disneystore.com sight. I'm not sure how many of these stores are still in business, I live in Northern VA and the one in my local mall...

Hello, Today I had a chance to go to the Crutchfield Outlet / Retail store in Charlottesville, VA. I wanted to inquire about the Kenwood HTB 544. The Crutchfield guy helping me said they didn't have any, and that it had been discontinued. When he was looking in the computer there was the...

Hey Everyone, Currently I'm in college, and man, trying to keep up with HT while in college is a major pain. Started this summer when I bought my first TV and DVD player (Toshibal 32A41 and Pioneer DV-343). Such a pain to get it to my apartment, especially with 100+ DVDs. Then when I...

Hello, I recently upgraded a computer to Windows XP Pro, and the NIC stopped working, a Kingston KNE110TX. Since I have the same card in another of my PCs (running Windows 98) I swapped cards and the thing didn't work in my Windows 98 either. I'm looking to see if anyone can confirm that...

I'm looking into a CLD LD player made by Pioneer and had a question about audio out. Does the digital out make a huge difference when compared to the analog outs? I was looking at getting a 504, but it doesn't have digital out. I know this means no DTS, but I don't have any DTS LD's...

I'm looking for a used Pioneer CLD laserdisc player. The catch is you need to be local to me (Virginia or Southern Maryland, or other in area). I'm having bad luck with this whole buying LD items over e-bay thing (SW trilogy lost in mail, LD player broken). Matthew Furtek

Has anyone successfully shipped and received these things? I'm having problems with receiving one, as I just got a Sony-MDP 333 broken shipped to me. It was shipped FedEx overnight, and I believe it was insured, so it shouldn't be a loss. I asked for insurance, so it should not come out of...
