    JVC 7800 S-VHS Disappointment

    I just received the 7800 from Crutchfield. My expectation was that I would have an improved picture when playing pre-recorded tapes vs. my Panasonic VHS machine. Well, I played one tape in both machines, and actually thought the JVC was worse! The picture jittered, with no improvement in...

    Philips DVD-972C Progressive changer: Next Best Thing?

    Def. Tech Speakers

    I have read a lot of rave reviews over these speakers in the magazines. Would like any positive or negative opinions relative to this product line. I am considering either the pro cinema series or the BP2006tl, 1000b Center and BP2x surrounds. I have a Yamaha RXV800 receiver. Thanks, Don

    Newbie needs help on DVD Player Selection

    I am a newbie to this site. I am currently searching for a Progressive Scan DVD Player to play on my Mits. 65809 TV. Given limited space, I thought a multi-disc machine would be perfect to double as my CD player. I found the Philips DVD972CH at Good Guys($299)which is a Mediamatics player...
