    Portishead, Roseland NYC, Why no center?

    I just purchased my first concert DVD and I find there is absolutly nothing coming from the center channel, is this normal for music related software and if so why does it say 5.1 on the case?

    Mitsu Plat and P+

    The amount of misinformation about the Platnum and Platnum Plus models out there is staggering. I was under the understanding that the Platnum Plus models 55819 and 65819 models came with an intigrated HDTV tuner (at least according to Mitsu's website). Now I see PCRICHARD has the 819 for...
