    Panasonic CP-72: HO2 error

    I read that too, that's why I contacted an authorized repair shop instead of Panasonic themselves. But like I said I fixed it myself for now, hopefully it won't do it again.

    Panasonic CP-72: HO2 error

    well I took the advice of someone over at avsforums and opened up the case and gave the disc a spin with my finger. Powered it back up and it worked like a charm.

    Panasonic CP-72: HO2 error

    Yep, that's what I've been reading. I called the local repair shop which is 70 miles away and since the parts are covered under warranty, the labor is $70, but the shop is so backed up that it will be 4 weeks until I get it back. The funny this is that when I mentioned H02 error he...

    Panasonic CP-72: HO2 error

    Yeah, I've been reading all morning about people's problems with their Panny's. I bought mine 1/03 so I'm still under the parts warranty, but still have to pay labor :frowning: I'm so upset that this up til now excellant DVD player crapped out on me.

    I just got this error code this morning. It won't read any discs or open the tray. I just did a google search and from what I'm reading its not good, the optical pickup is dead. :frowning:

    Is there something wrong with my Akai CFT2790?

    if you search my posts you will see the problems that I had with mine. I currently still have it but it is no longer my primary TV. I suggest taking it back to Sam's before your 90 days are up.

    Why 16x9?

    tell her to watch the movie and not the bars :) 1.85 overscans to vfill thje screen so you will only have bars on 2.35:1 movies. But on my 46 inch philips the bars are barely noticeable, and you could always make some mattes for 2.35

    So Ron, how's this years dvd of the year lookin so far? :-)

    I think for the $9.95 that I paid Wal-mart for my copy of ST:AOTC, it definitely gets my vote as DVD of the year. good movie great transfer cool extras great price!

    Total Recall - your interpretation? (spoiler alert!)

    I believe it is a dream. The doctor sweating from Rekall keeps coming up, but other than him telling you that he is from Rekall, how do we know that? I believe he is just part of the simulation as operative that is just using the whole Rekall thing as a trick. Arnie is just playing out his...

    Dinotopia Disc 2 sound problem?

    TTT, anybody got contact info for Artisan or Hallmark Entertainment so that we can bring this problem to their attention? I emailed Ron and he said he didn't notice a problem with his screener.

    Woohoo!! I found a used Robocop :CC in perfect condition for only $14.99! :) Even though I had to tweak my receiver to get the best sound out of this disc, I was nice to feel ED-209 walking around.

    Does anybody here actually calibrate using the THX Optimizer?

    If you don't want to spend the money of AVIA, then pick this up. its made by Ovation software, just like AVIA. I bought it Link Removed for $15.99 It works great, I just used it to calibrate a friends RPTV and he was amazed by the difference.

    Brightness flicker on DVDs....

    Samsung and Akai 27" flat screens have this problem. I went into the service menu and adjusted some setting and it got rid of it. you could try a search in the display forum and you might possibly find a fix for it.

    My 'PREDATOR' appreciation thread.

    Reviving a great post, I couldn't wait for a SE so I picked up a used copy of the WS DTS for $11.99 :) One my favorite movies of all time. A great film transfer considering when it was made, a bit of grain in some scenes but in others the picture is superb. I would love a SE with some...

    See the difference between Anamorphic Widescreen and Letterbox Widescreen

    Nice write-up, but Samsung and the Akai clones have the squeeze mode for anamorphic.

    Skip the theater, Get the DVD?

    As stated above, I've got 2 kids and after paying for me, wife, and kids and snacks it gets pretty expensive. So I just wait for the DVD since I really enjoy being in total control of my movie experience.
