    The Matrix Reloaded (2003)

    Does anyone know what kind of plans WB has on releasing the DVD? I've searched around, but couldn't find anything. I hope they don't release Reloaded and Revolutions simultaneously. I don't think I can wait a full year (seeing that most movies get released on DVD about 6 months after...

    The Matrix Reloaded (2003)

    I remember this being discussed many pages back, not sure if someone pointed something out... In Enter the Matrix, Bane is carving something else into his hand beyond what he already has. It was thought before to be a pi symbol, but it's not. I was just playing it today and was at this spot...

    tweaking my sub is confusing

    I'm pretty happy with the way my setup sounds, but sometimes my sub sounds a little too aggressive. I know I can adjust the level and the cut off frequency, but I'm not sure how I should go about doing this. Is there some formula most people use? Is there a cut off frequency I should leave it on...

    video inputs on my audio receiver

    On the back of my receiver I have video ins and outs. My receiver doesn't have an on-screen display, so I'm curious why they are even there. Will I find any noticeable benefit by having all my video cables run through my receiver? The manual says to connect them through, but that would mean I...

    False advertisement

    I'm going back to dish. I wasn't into audio too much when I had my first one, so I didn't notice if the audio out was digital on my box. Thank you for your replies.

    Which one is better to use?

    Paul, Go to dolbydigital.com and dts.com. Both sites will have pretty detailed information about why their processing is better then the others. After all the research you do, I'll bet it will really come down to what sounds the best to you.

    False advertisement

    I made the foolish move from Dish to charter digital cable. On the front of the motorola decoder they gave me there is a dolby digital logo. I understand that if I want digital audio, I would need to connect the decoder to my receiver with a digital cable like I do with my dvd player. My problem...

    where should I buy used stuff?

    I know the Home Theater Forum has a place to buy used equipment, but I was looking for a place with a little more offers. I'm constantly reading about people who buy used stuff, but I can never really find a dedicated spot. I have to find a place online, because I'm 80 miles from a good city...

    Sony DVPNS500V - good at SACD?

    I just bought a 500v, and I couldn't be happier. The main reason was to replace my playstation 2 (if you want to call it a dvd player), but the sacd pulled me in. The player doesn't have a zoom, but everything else is perfect (remember, I'm used to the playstations dvd). I also got 5 dvds for...

    Where can I find sacds?

    I've looked everywhere for a store that sells sacds. I live in a smaller town, so I'm pretty much stuck with the internet (which isn't that bad), but I have looked all over, and I can find online stores maybe selling one or two. Any information on this would be greatly appreciated.

    What's your favorite movie website?

    could anyone tell me a good web site to find dvd/movie reviews, opening dates, information on upcoming movies, and things of this nature? Better yet, everybody write your favorite web sites that are related to this kind of stuff.

    Signs (2002)

    Maybe there is an alien planet in another galaxy that makes movies too. Maybe they made one similar to signs. Maybe they are all laughing saying "the part were acid killed the aliens was just stupid."

    AVR 1602 and DD: voice from the rears?

    This has little to do with your question, but Resident Evil (although it was kinda cool) was a very poorly recorded movie. The dialog was faint, and the action scenes were blaring. I would use a better movie than that to base your speaker placements on. Maybe T2 or Toy Story (1 or 2)

    Flaunce speakers

    I was looking at Flaunce speakers on their website. They are very cheap compared to basically any other speaker on the market. I also noticed that they don't have a return policy, so if I buy them, I will be stuck with them. Does anyone know how they sound? Surely they sound better than the...

    16:9 enhancement... Is it worth it?

    Adam, Yes, I changed the aspect ratio in the settings, and it wouldn't work. I called sony and they said it was more or less a safeguard for people with 4:3 screens who accidentally put it on 16:9. I guess they do that so people won't get a stretched picture that don't want it. I've checked...

    16:9 enhancement... Is it worth it?

    Vince, the playstation 2 won't output 16:9 to my tv, because it recognizes the 4:3 format, and locks the output on 4:3, so when I put it on 16:9 enhanced, the picture is flat and squished. I guess it's just really made for games. By the way, what is IMHO? Adam, I do have a sony str de-575...

    16:9 enhancement... Is it worth it?

    I'm pretty new to home theater. I'm happy with the setup I have right now except for my dvd player. My TV is a sony wega, which features 16:9 enhancement. I have a playstation 2 for DVD's, which seems to do a decent job. My playstation won't stay in 16:9, so I can't use the enhancement feature...
