    Panasonic BD30 2.2 firmware now available

    I was thinking of picking one of these up at Best Buy for $266. They are on clearance I doubt they will have any left for a better black friday price. To me this seems like a better deal overall than the Insignia player at $199 mainly because of the lack of firmware updates for the Insignia. It...

    Panasonic BD30 2.2 firmware now available

    I checked with my local Best Buy and they had it for $266 Actually I think on this one it only bitstreams the advanced audio codecs The 5.1 analog will only do PCM and standard DD and DTS

    Toshiba HD-A2 - $98.87 @ WalMart!

    Scored one at 7:45 this morning, was'nt sure if they would ring up early but there wasnt any problems. This is a store that normally doesnt have any HD players in stock and they had 20 units. I really wasnt ready to commit in the format war but at this price even if HDDVD looses I still will...

    What's the deal with Rear Projection LCD?

    I have a Sony 42A10 and I am very happy with it. DVD and HD look excellent and SD material looks really good on this set too.

    Pink Floyd "Pulse"

    Actually I thought the disc looked and sounded pretty good. Sure there are several other discs out there that are more "reference quality" but I am happy to finally get this on dvd, it has been a long time comming.

    Samsung HP-R4252 Plasma vs. Sony KDF-E42A10 LCD

    I also have a 42A10. What I like about this TV is how good a job it does with SD material.HD is very good also. This is a really good choice until everything goes HD. The black levels and detail are very good for an LCD too.

    Problems with new Hitachi 46510

    After replacing the focus pack the "green" problem still did go away. They later replaced a green crt. Problem came back three days later. Instead of service call # 8 they opted for a replacment. But of course the 46510 is not avaiable anymore. I did not have room for a 51" set and the only...

    Panasonic DVD RP56 upgrade to RP91?

    Thats kinda what I suspected. My Display does not lock in to stretch mode on 4:3 material so I figured that the differnece between the 91 and the 56 would probably be minimum.

    Panasonic DVD RP56 upgrade to RP91?

    I have a RP56 that is working fine right now. I know that HDDVD is coming up but I will be at least 2 years from that if not more. If I was able to pick up a good used RP91 for say around $125 would I gain anything? My display is a Hitichi 46F510.

    Cream Reunion DVD

    There was a comment on the DVD by Jack Bruce that they had set up the classic Marshall stacks and vintage instruments, but it just did not sound good to them now.

    Cream Reunion DVD

    I picked this up the other day. This is a great DVD, sound and picture. I thought the performance was excellent. Just the trio with no backup people. They can still rock the house. Other bands ought to take a long look at that performance to see how its done, puts some other younger and older...

    Problems with new Hitachi 46510

    The day after the service guy left the problem came back. Time to call for another service app. The set was really bad for about five days then got better. Of course it got better the day before the next service app. The guy showed back up today and agreed something was not quite right. He...

    Problems with new Hitachi 46510

    Ok Service guy came out today. I was at work and my wife was at home to deal with the service guy. He checked everything out and could fine nothing wrong. He was very nice and suggested that we keep an eye on it. He suggested that it could be a problem with the directv reciever and said if it...

    Harman Kardon AVR-135 vs Yamaha HTR-5840 - opinions?

    I am an H/K owner. Yes the H/K reciever will have more guts than the wattage will imply. since you wanted quality over bells and whistles I would say the 135 is right up your alley. But I dont think it is worth twice as much as the Yamaha. I think Yamaha is a great product, I have owned a lot of...

    Problems with new Hitachi 46510

    i purchased a 46510 from Sears in May. The first one was dead out of the box. They delivered a new one and everything was fine. In early Aug I heard a loud snap sound and the black level changed. It had "green look" to it. This lasted for only a few min. Then everything went back to normal. A...

    Rocket speakers

    The Rockets have a good return policy. So why not just give them a try. See how they sound in your room and system. I have had my Rockets for about 2 months now. Although they are the entry level in the RS line ( 150's front and rear 100 mkII for the center) they are the best speakers I have...

    component video vs. hdmi vs dvi??

    I had the same basic questions when I purchased my new tv a few months ago. I would say the best thing to do is to try all of the connections and decide which one is best. It will vary from system to system. I used HDMI on my Directv box and I found the the comp output was just as good, at least...
