Thanks all. Couldn't wait, so with my Saturday slight hangover I connected up the Denon receiver and it all worked perfectly. I just wasn't sure if it would go though the preamp before it came out the multi source output. It did. Even found a place for everything. Later when I get new...

Hello, Just bought a Yamaha RX-V540 receiver which does not have a phono input. I guess the turntable send a weak signal to the receiver and phono inputs do some extra (pre) amplification. Now I have a turntable and was wondering if I could input the turntable into my old Denon receiver...

I have posted in the other sections i.e hardware and I have never received so many posts. Just takes on a life of its own. I have not played the movie since I got it, but I certainly don't remember it being that confusing. Will check out the music Theme, I sure my father has the piece at home...

Thanks Mikae When I say digital I'm referring as to how the info was designed to be processed in the receiver. Dolby 2.0 might be on a DVD in digital form but receivers that were specifically designed to use 2.0 and 3.0 (I think) need it in analog form before any processing occurs. 5.1...

I got the DVD for just over $8 Canadian. I liked it when I was a kid (must of been the breast scene) so I couldn't resist. One of those quirky sci-fi flicks, you either get it or you don't. Bit like Blade Runner, but that is a better movie. R.

Just picked up the Zardoz DVD with Sean Connery and it states that it is 3.0 Surround. How is this different from 2.0 surround? I assume this is not digital surround. Is it just an addition of a sound track for the back speakers? Any ideas Thx Richard

Hey John, The Denon 2500 has just Left and Right audio inputs.

Hello, I have a JVC XV-SA70 DVD player and in the specs it states that the video output is 525i/525p. Now I read somewhere that this is really 480i/480p as there is a cropping effect (whatever that means). Is this true? Most other DVDs I see are listed as having 480i/p output? Thanks...

Hello, I have a JVC XV-SA70 DVD player with a built in 5.1 decoder. I'm using a Denon AVR2500 receiver but it only supports dolby 2.0. So the question is do I just get an Amp for my DVD player and let the DVD player do the decoding or do I get a new 5.1 or 6.1 receiver. I'm leaning...

Ok I like the wide screen no argument here, but lets be realistic. The "wide screen" (1.85:1) was originally produced to distinguish movies from TV (regardless of the official reason). The original TV ratio was a copy of the movie ratio of the time i.e Wizard of OZ. The movie industry will...

I know this has been around or a long time. I remember when the really "big" movies use to be recorded on the wide 70mm film. It is just now that 2.35 has become far more common. Even many dramas and movies that really don't need it use it. Just ironic that the reason I bought the TV and the...

Basically all the warranties I have read, even the extended ones all state the warranties will not cover your screens if one continually plays movies with black bars at the side or top/bottom. WELL now that all these new movies use the aspect ratio 2.35:1 we don't have much choice. Unless one...

So what is SVM?? I have to say that I change the lighting depending upon the movie. If there are a lot of dark scenes I have to pump up the brightness. This can make the picture look grainy, but sometimes you have no choice. It does not happen too often but I sometimes I even have to change...

Ok thanks for all the replies. I see that this is a common problem, but on my TV 50H82 the only options I have to change the picture are Brightness, Contrast, Sharpness and Tint. How does one change the IRE? Do I need Video Essentials or Avia? DVDs are fine and I know how to adjust the...

Well I got the Tosh 50H82 and I pretty happy with it, but I'm having a real problem getting a decent picture during the dark scenes in movies and TV shows. I see the ghosting and the halo effects and I can live with them, but the picture gets so dark that sometimes I can't see the detail. When I...

Are these advisable of projection TV's? Buying a Toshiba 50H82. They want $409 Canadian or $258 US for an extended 6yr warranty package. These TVs only have a one year warranty. Are these warranties worth it?? Thanks Richard

I previously asked about the compatibility of the TV with the progressive scan DVD player because of an article I read a while ago. I just found another reference at C/NET. "But since this TV set outputs at 540p as opposed to straight line-doubling (480p), we recommend that you set...

:) ;) :frowning: :thumbsdown: :emoji_thumbsup: :angry: Will let you guys know the end result! Thanks for all the help.

Ok so now I have to look-up DVI. :D I originally bought a lesser model DVD player, but after countless problems JVC upgraded me for free. Thanks everyone for you help. The wife is pushing for the 4:3 model. Bigger screen and cheaper price. I want the 16:9. We will have to battle it out...

Hello Everyone, I’m buying a TV and I have a few concerns that I hope someone can help me with. Got my DVD player and now I’m looking at rear projection HD TV’s. The major stores here push Toshiba, Sony, Samsung and Panasonic. Toshiba seems to be their favorite so that is the way I’m...

Hey guys, Well the whole deal took 8 weeks to resolve. After much harassment from myself and waiting for the manager to get back from vacation they finally decided to give me a new one. The good news is they no longer carry the 60 so they gave me the XV-S70BK. So far this has worked well...

John & Ron, Funny they could not play the T2-D3 documentary on other lower end JVC models so I was beginning to believe that it was a software flaw inherent in all JVC players. Well it is at JVC's head office service dept now so it will be interesting to see what happens. Cheers!

Yeah, Took it to the service dealer and after a week he gave up. Going to take it to the head office now. :angry:

Hey Guys, I have a XV-S60BK and I am having problems. After it gets to the second layer on the DVD it starts to "pixel" (large squares form on the screen) and it freezes then jerks forward 20 frames and then freezes again. This tends to occur with the public library's DVDs that have a plastic...
