    Stuart Little Widescreen

    Where can I find the original Stuart Little anamorphic widescreen dvd that was released a year ago? All I can find now is the crappy full frame "deluxe edition". Did they discontinue the widescreen version?

    Grey Bars=No Burn-In?

    At Sears yesterday looking at the Panny PT47wx49 and asking the sales clerk about the burn-in factor while viewing the 4:3 mode, he informed me that because the bars are grey instead of black, that there is no burn-in factor. This sounded like total BS to me, am I right or does the clerk have a...

    Rear surrounds below ear level?

    Anyone out there have their rear surrounds below ear level? Looks like I may have to place mine about knee level just below a window on both sides of the couch. Just no room to mount any higher on the back wall due to the windows. It's either this way or nothing, I'll have to live with it.

    Must the rears match the front and center?

    I was wondering if it was absolutely necessary to have the same brand speakers for both the front, center, and rear surrounds? I'll be keeping Axioms for the front but may go different route for the rears.
