I did find a friend who had the channel and he taped all 5 episodes for me..:-) I have watched them all and I am a little confused now. DIY makes it too simple to build and HT. My question to experts here; is that true? Like the way they did the acoustic treatment in the wall and on the wall...
John,
How did you like your Marantz VP-12S1? Do you have any lamp flicker or fan/colorwheel noise problems? Do you have the link to the comparison thread you mentioned in your note above?

Jason, Does RP82 or CP72 (I think both have the same capabilities) play DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R and DVD+RW discs? The manual does not give full details about it. Is there a website which has details like these available for these 2 DVD Players? Best Regards
Jason, The review of XP-50 will be interesting. Would you be able to compare XP-50 and RP82? Do you or anyone else know the difference between RP82 firmware versions? I am interested in the difference between versions L02665D282 and L02665D287. The D282 was used till July manufacturing...
Jason, Are you saying that RP82 and XP50 the same units inside, and the only difference is the outside box? If that is true then is XP50 the replacement for the RP82? I read somewhere that RP82 replacement is not out yet. Also, The RP82 manual does not claim to be compatible with the DVD+R...
Hi Brajesh, I checked my RP-82 firmware and it is also D282 for July 02 manufacturing date. You mentioned that your firmware is L02665D287. I have a few questions: What is your manufacturing date? What are the fixes/ improvements in the D287 over D282? Does this have DVD-A bug where...
Hi Hisham, RP82 plays VCD's fine. I had Toshiba SD4800 for a week and returned it because it will choke on many scratched DVDs by freezing or skipping. RP82 is much better. I had it for 2 days and did not have much time to test it complately but it did play my VCD fine and was great in...
Based on recommendations in this forum and my personal good opinion of Panny products in general I bought the Panasonic RP-82 DVD player last night. This was the last unit in a pile of RP-62 and many other Panasonic units at local Fry's store. I bought ($229 + tax) it without trying it because...
Wow! I got a whole bunch of feedback on this topic and appreciate it very much. Yes, I must admit I have hard time saying no and when "friends" return my DVDs they are usually ruined. I am sure they play them like frisbees. May be I can muster up the courage to tell them NO from now on. I...
Brian, I will look into a Panny RP-82 but most of my local stores like Goodguys and Circuitcity don't have it in stock. I am a bit puzzled from the lack of comments on DVD players ability to handle damaged DVDs. Is it due to the fact no one before me brought this issue up, or...
Guys, I have not received any response yet. I had high hopes from this forum especially from the senior members to give a few good tips. May be it was just due to the Thanksgiving holiday. So today I should get some good advice. Best regards, Haseeb
I am in the market for a DVD player. My collection of DVD movies is getting a bit old and a bit scratched up. So I need a player which plays most (all will be even better) damaged DVDs without freezing or other artifacts. My price rang is below $400. I have heard a lot of good talk about Apex...
