Ok I need to pick up a cheap DVD/VCR player as a x-mas gift to the father inlaw and I see that Future Shop in Canada has the following for sale: Panasonic PVD 4744S Samsung DVD-V4600 Toshiba SDV392 Hitachi DVPF74 I don't need any crazy set of features as he's only really going to use it...

I just got the HK AVR130 and after hooking everything up and doing some testing I noticed that whenever a digital signal (say from a DVD) switches from Prologic to DTS/Dolby Digital the receiver seems to hesitate for a half second or so before it syncs up and sound can be heard again. A good...

I saw that Future Shop here in Canada has this receiver on sale this weekend from the normal $699 they usually sell it for. I'm thinking of replacing the Technics SA-DX940 I have in my family room and was wondering if it was a good deal or not? I can probably get $200CDN for the Technics so I'd...

A couple of years ago I watched a movie on Showcase (channel up here in Canada) during one of their late night runs of r-rated flicks. From what I remember, the movie was sub-titled because originally I think it was french, it had "incestual" type qualities because the main character was in love...

I ran through the deleted scenes on the second dvd and like the review on here had stated, they were very lacking and with some you couldn't even tell the difference from the original scene. One such scene is the Wolverine killing the intruder in the kitchen. What the hell is the difference from...

I have enough Air Miles saved up to get this unit for free and I was wondering if anyone had any opinions on this particular model or on combo units like this in general. Is there any difference from buying the units separately? I'm more concerened about the DVD side but it seems to have all the...

Ok, this goes out to all you people out there who have a keen knack for knowing obscure, old horror movies. :) I remember as a kid watching a horror/thriller movie sometime in the 1970s (more likely late 70s) that involved this couple who had moved into this house and obviously had some...

I just recently tweaked my RPTV with that Sound & Vision Home Theatre Tuneup DVD (I think that's what it's called) and although my DVDs look great, I have noticed that sometimes the TV shows that I watch appear a lot darker and in some scenes they appear kind of redish orange. For example, one...

I'm in the mood to calibrate my system since I've never done it before and I've been reading on here about the Radio Shack SPL meter. I hear everyone mention the analog one but up here in Toronto, Canada the only one that Radio Shack has is the digital one. Is there any real difference between...

I just purchased a PSW450 sub and upon bringing it home I noticed that there were two options for hooking up RCA cables to it from the LFE output on my Technics SA-DX940 receiver. The sub has the option for a "unfiltered" signal which requires two RCA cables to connect. The other option is the...

I'm planning on upgrading all of my speakers to Polk Audio but I wanted to get peoples' reassurrances on the ones that I plan to buy. One thing though, I can't go all out and purchase them all at once. They have to be bought a bit at a time as this is the only way the wife will let me do it...
