    Onkyo 770 HTiB Keeps Unexpectedly Shutting Off...

    When watching films, especially movies that have a lot of action that takes advantage of the 5.1, the receiver just shuts off. The funny thing is that I'm NOT playing the movie loud. It has shut off at volume levels at 35, 33, and even lower at like 29 and 28. What could be the problem? I...

    Onkyo 770 Speaker Problem...

    Hey guys, Just got this HTiB and hooked it up. All speakers work except the front left and the surround left. Both have no sound. I tried adjusting the sound using the little tone that comes out of the speakers. On the front left, I hear a muffled tone/noise. Oddly enough, when I click over...

    Anyone Have the Panasonic (SCHT 920) Home Theater System (HTiB)?

    Not sure if this is the right forum, but... I'm considering getting this this weekend. I've heard some pretty good things. My room isn't that big, so I don't really need something like an Onkyo. I also think the Panasonic looks pretty stylish. But does anyone have this HTiB or a similar...

    I have the BOSE 321 series 1 system. Here's a photo: It comes with two speakers that do a solid job, but I'd really like a home theater system with rear speakers to get the full effect. Does anyone know or is familiar with BOSE and it's system? I looked in the back of the system, and...

    Thoughts on the Original "Superman" (Reeves, 1978)

    This film was before my time just a bit, so I never saw it until yesterday on TMC. It is interesting to take a look at it now with all the super-hero movie craze Hollywood has going. Anyway, Superman was never my fav superhero, but I found the movie pretty interesting. It was better than I...

    Just Saw "The Abyss" But Didn't Really Get It...

    I just finished watching it. It definitely wasn't what I expected it to be. Anyway, can people help me out here. I know there is probably some symbolism in this movie and more than meets the eye. But a lot of the extra-terrestial stuff, especially at the end, I just didn't "get it." Thanks.

    Anyone seen the movie "Clue?"

    Anyone seen this? I just got done watching it and I thought it was great. I was so shocked by how entertaining it was. And on the dvd, you can watch it and it has three random endings of possible people who did the crime. What did others think?

    Anyone See "Sister Act?"

    I just re-watched this after having not seen it in seven or so years. I still really liked it. It was funny, fun, and enjoyable. It is, though, kind of a movie I grew up with so I've always liked it. Anyways, anyone else like it/dislike it?

    Anyone Own a Mini-DV Video Camera? How Do You Like It?

    I have the 8mm tape video camera. It's good, but it's fairly heavy and the bag that holds it is quite big. And considering they make them much smaller, I'd like to get a Mini-DV video camera. What do people think of them? Could you also please state the manufactuer (Sony, Panasonic, etc)...

    Your Top 3 Special Effects Sequences/Movies with Special Effects?

    What are you top 3 special effect sequences in a movie? They cannot be an all CGI movie like Final Fantasy. I know people will want to say Lord of the Rings or Hulk because they are fresh in your mind, but try to remember other great ones also. For me, it's hard to only do three. These aren't...

    Reflections: Boston Public Season 1

    I think this will be a good idea to do for shows in the past. I started to think about Boston Public. In part because I'm re-watching episodes I have of the first season. I gotta say, the first season is extremely good. No doubt it's over the top in the goings-on of the high school in Boston...

    How Do People Get Subway/Bus Station Posters...

    I'm just curious...do you think you have to work for the subway/bus station, or do you think you can just go up to an employee and ask if you can have the poster once they are ready to change them up and bring in a new one? I know they are HUGE, but some are nice and are different from the...

    Looking to Buy an Internal DVD Burner...

    Hey guys, Well, I recently went to COMPUSA to have a CD burner, 120 Gig HD and editing software installed on my computer. It all went great, but I noticed exporting my home movies onto a VCD degrades the quality. So I'm thinking of getting a DVD burner. I want one that makes DVD-R/RW and...

    How do I turn the PCB function on in my Malata 520?

    Hey guys, When I put a VCD I made on my computer into my Malata 520, it states "PCB off" and therefore can't play it. But when I put it into a region 1 player that I got at like a Sears-like store, it worked fine. It immediately recognized PCB (whatever this means) and played my home...

    Best Place in Your Opinion to Get a DirecTivo?

    I've done my fair share of research, but I'd figure I'd come here because I know a lot of people have this. I'm looking for a DirecTV receiver and a Tivo in one machine (hence, DirecTivo). I'm wondering where you all bought yours, and what price you paid? Since you get both in one, do...

    Chiklis's Mackey or Sutherland's Bauer: Who's Better?

    I thought this may be fun to do with different TV show characters. These two I really like. Try to vote unbiasedly. Just because you love one show more than the other doesn't mean you have to vote for the character from that show. If you vote, can you also state why as I'm just curious...

    Why is the R2 "24" so Much Better than the R1 Version?

    I had the R1 version but recently sold it in a lot with other DVD's and picked up the R2 version of "24." I did this because I heard the R2 version has a few extended scenes from the last batch of episodes that were never shown in America or in the R1 release. I get it in the mail, and I...

    Anyone Have "24" the R2 Version?

    Not sure if this is allowed here but I don't see why not... I have "24" R1 version. I hear the R2 version has a few extra scenes in the later episodes that weren't necessarily meant to be seen, but were seen in Europe and put into the show on DVD as well. I'm thinking of buying the R2...

    Anyone Go/Ever Been to Wax Musuems? (Replica's of Movie/TV Celebrities)

    Just for the record, I'm talking about museums that replicate how "movie stars" look. Here's a picture of Keanu Reeves represented in Wax and it really looks like him, in my opinion: So...I have been to Madame Tussad's in NY and London and enjoyed it. I'm going to California soon and am...

    Hey guys, Here's the situation, and I have no idea if it's related to my 1 day old DSL, but the problem is only one day old. I got DSL, and now it seems that my computer won't fully power down when I hit "Start" and then "Shutdown" like always. So I end up having to press the on/off...

    Anyone Ever Been An Audience Member During a Show's Production?

    I'm thinking about going to Cali/Hollywood for a vacation and noticed you can get free tickets to see tapings of hit sitcoms. So I'm curious, has anyone done this before? Is it as fun and worth it as it might seem? Where did you get your tickets and what show did you see? Also, if you have...

    Anyone Know If a New "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" Movie Is in the Works?

    I grew up with these characters and really liked, and still like, the first movie. I know that John Woo was thinking of doing a CGI Turtles movie but I believe that's currently shelved. But with a new Turtles show debuting on Fox on Febuary, the old movies hitting dvd, and even new figures...

    Some Questions for "TIVO" Users...

    I keep hearing about this product so I'm getting very interested in it. I plan to definitely do some research on it in the next day or two but I figured I'd come on here and ask the people who have it some questions as well. 1. Is TIVO something like, say, a DVD player or a video game system...
