    HTF HD-DVD Review: Transformers (Highly Recommended)

    Just took it for a spin last night and WOW. Best sound I've heard coming from my slum xbox 360 add-on. I selected DTS to pass 1.5 out to my receiver. Nice bass and the dialog is actually discernible without having to fiddle with the remote. PQ was excellent even tho Micheal Bay movies seem...

    Centennial Mini-Series on DVD.....Ever? (Oh, yes: see post #15!)

    This is one of the few Mini-series made for TV that is still not on DVD. If I remember correctly it is the longest movie ever made. Surely this begs a DVD release because the VHS copies are expensive or non-existent and the Bootleggers on ebay are making a fortune! Any word on this release? Flan

    A Question To Panny RP-82 Owners...

    What your describing almost sounds like Mpeg motion artifacts. (The portions of the picture that don't change much from frame to frame). I have an RP82 with a Sony 10HT projecting on a 130" screen and I haven't noticed this sort of thing. This DVD player is as close to my HTPC as I've ever seen...

    No, there is no A,B selector on this receiver. Also I tried the headphones and got nothing.:frowning: It's weird because it worked yesterday! I tried playing a movie today with EX and got no back speaker sound. So I pulled the thing out and tested every speaker terminal and they all work...

    Electronics Guru's Please help!

    I bought an old DPL receiver to use with my main receiver for Dolby Digital Es and DTS EX. The problem I'm having with the old receiver is that no sound comes out of the 'Mains' even when I do 'test tones'. All the other speaker terminals work except for main L and R. When I hit the button...

    Hey Brian.... Can you post a pic of your player? Your right all the pics I've seen are silver with a black face. The silver with Chrome sounds awesome! One other question...does it take forever to que up a disk when you insert it like the 92? Thanks again...Enjoy it! Mike F.
