    Check out my (almost) finished GR A/V-3's!

    Very nice job. :emoji_thumbsup: You'll enjoy them even more once you listen to them for awhile. :) I just finished a pair of the A/V-1RS surrounds to go with my A/V-3 front and center speakers, but haven't had much chance to check them out yet.

    Took the FP Plunge - ScreenPlay 5000

    I believe you're thinking of the 4805. The SP5000 is $1799 from any authorized dealer. Anyway, $1200 for a 720p projector is a nice deal. :emoji_thumbsup:

    Benq 7700 with HD-2 chip street price $2699.00

    According to the BenQ people I've spoken to, it's their own deinterlacing solution. Originally, I thought it was part of the Senseye system, but apparently that's not the case. It could be the Pixelworks chip used in some of their other projectors. On a side note, CUE is a function of the...

    Benq 7700 with HD-2 chip street price $2699.00

    I'd be wary of the Senseye image enhancement as well. One part of it ("Sharpness Enhancement Engine") in particular looks like excessive edge enhancement just waiting to happen. I would expect it will be defeatable. Here's some marketing info from BenQ about it: Senseye Yes. I'm getting CR...

    Benq 7700 with HD-2 chip street price $2699.00

    I've been using the Toshiba MT700 for a few weeks now and it's an excellent projector for the price. As mentioned above, it's essentially a 7700 only with Faroudja deinterlacing. The BenQ will be using some other deinterlacing solution in conjunction with their Senseye image processing. The...

    What's your experience with CD Wow! ?

    The current coupons, vouchers and other deals for all the CD-Wow sites, including which has the best price, can be found on dvdbargain.net. I've only needed to use the HK site once, as I've found everything else I've wanted on the .us site. I always get everything in a week from Hong Kong. R3...

    Ghost in the Shell 2 replacement program launched

    I think so. I don't see an option to display it.

    Ghost in the Shell 2 replacement program launched

    Got mine yesterday as well. The subtitles don't look much smaller and they're still kind of high on the picture. In any event, it's just nice to get rid of the CC. Kudos to Dreamworks/Go Fish. :emoji_thumbsup:

    Ghost in the Shell 2 replacement program launched

    I got the e-mail a few days after I mailed it. When you say you "sent yours right out after Andy's article came out", did you use the mailer they sent you? Also, did you include your e-mail address when you made the request for the mailer?

    Ghost in the Shell 2 replacement program launched

    Got the mailer and sent mine back yesterday. It's stated that it will take 2-3 weeks to get the replacement. I believe most of the mailers have been sent out now, so if you requested one, you should have received it.

    Have you heard of the Korean war movie Tae Guk Gi "The Brotherhood of War?

    And previously here as well.

    House Of Flying Daggers OFFICIAL R3 DVD Release Oct 18th!

    That seems to be contradicted by the screen shots that look pretty good here. Supposedly an HD transfer.

    House Of Flying Daggers OFFICIAL R3 DVD Release Oct 18th!

    The Korean Starmax release on January 10 will likely be a better transfer than the Edko one. If the new Edko special edition has the same transfer as their previous release, it's not worth getting. Here's some info on the Korean edition: House of Flying Daggers Update: Looks like the Korean...

    Thanks for the info. I heard the same blurring comment on another forum as well. Sounds like it's worth getting though.

    Logitech SST-688 remote for Hughes HDVR2

    The chronology of the remotes, from newest to oldest is: 680, 676, 688 and 659. All four remotes have identical programming ability. The differences are in the button styles and layout. I agree with Stephen regarding the 688. While the 688 was originally designed for use with a PVR, it's button...

    My A/V3s and thanks to all on this forum

    Brian, it was a number of things from your various posts on the subject, particulaly bit types. Regarding the veneer, it's 10 mil paperbacked veneer I got it from a place in the L.A. area. They used to have a website and ship nationwide, but they appear to have gone out of business or...

    My A/V3s and thanks to all on this forum

    Thanks all. Since the last woodworking project I did was a birdhouse in high school wood shop that scared more birds than anything, I'm very happy with the results here. I've purchased the surrounds, but haven't got them out of the box yet. No, I like the look of them the way they are and I...

    My A/V3s and thanks to all on this forum

    Well, it's now been a year since I first got some A/V-3 and A/V-3S kits from GR-Research. Work and other problems kept me from finishing them until a few months ago. While I have done a lot of work with electronics in the past, this was my first speaker project. It was also the first time I ever...

    Weekly RoundUp 9/21/04 Star Wars Trilogy (authorized sneak peek)

    Well, my coconuts.com order from last Tuesday hadn't even shipped yet and I was told when I inquired via e-mail that they didn't know when it would ship. Based on everyone's posts about the UPC code for the rebate, I cancelled that order and went down to my local Walmart with the Fry's $36.99 ad...

    Weekly RoundUp 9/21/04 Star Wars Trilogy (authorized sneak peek)

    Was your shipping status online ever updated? Mine still shows processing, but I would think they've already sent it since I ordered it over a week ago.

    Harmony or Home Theater Master

    IRClone is not that difficult to use. You can download the software from irclone.com and play around with it if you want to see how it works. The URC-200 is not PC programmable, but it does give you the ability to put a macro on any LCD-labeled button, which the MX-500 lacks. You might also...

    Universal Remote Newb - Where to get codes?

    If you use the built-in codes of ProntoEdit NG, you would just have to try each one to see which will work with the component in question. You may be better off to use one of the existing files from the link ThomasW posted, keeping in mind that you can use old style Pronto files (.ccf) as well...

    Monster or Acoustic Research

    I'd rate the Monster 2 series above the AR Performance series, but not by much and certainly not for almost twice the price. For slightly more than the Performance series, the AR Pro II series is a better cable than either of them. They have a silver coated center conductor usually only found in...
