Just watched the Revenge of the Sith showing on HBO in HD. It was beautiful!! I would be surprised if HD-DVD can top the picture presented tonite. Don't miss it!

I've had this rptv for a little over 3 years and have some extra cash for an official calibration. Is it worth spending for calibration at this point or should I just sell this and spring for a new rptv? Will calibrating this pre DVI connection tv really make a visual difference? Thanks for any...

I'm trying to find the post from a few weeks back with the link to the "trailer" with the professional trailer voice-over guys...they were on their way to an awards ceremony. Please help! Trying to find it for a buddy who will get a kick out of it. Thx for any help or direction.

I am in the Chicago burbs and have not seen a THX trailer in the theater in years. What gives? There are still several "THX Certified" theaters in this area but no more trailer. Is this the same in other cities? I know some will say it sounds the same as any ohter theater, but those trailers...

Since about 4 weeks ago, I have been unable to play any dvds on my pc with DVD-ROM features. I have unistalled InterActual player, hoping to re-install, but cannot find a free player download for Windows 98. I initially installed it for free a few years ago with a prompt from a dvd prompt (can't...

I have a Kenwood VR 6070 and get no sound when I switch the Input Mode option to Analog. Sure I like the DD sound and all but once in a while get the itch to hear the difference between PLII, Neo 6, CS II, various DSP modes etc. I am able to do so with Dolby Surround titles (mostly LDs), but...

Just bought an extra optical cable to connect from my Comcast HD box to my receiver. Olympics sound great but I can only get Pro-Logic to display and not Dolby Digital. I have the Input Mode set to Full Auto, which for DVDs normally defaults to DD lighting up. Am I missing something here...

Just wondering how "different" the DTS version is over the DD. I only have the DD and have not heard the DTS (except for in the theater during initial release) but it is one of my top sounds demos for guests. From the basic, non-supertechnical home theater fan (and my guests the same), is it...

Just wondering how many of you guys got to see the FOX broadcast last year in late spring (pre AOTC). I remember watching it, in analog, but remember it said FOX Widescreen High Resoultion when the movies began. Was it true hi-def? awesome?? so-so??? Details, details, please! :)

Does anyone own this? Any problems? Mighty tempting at their closeout price.

I remember having rented (several times) a pan and scan laserdisc of The Empire Strikes Back way back when and it seemed to have a "live" feel to it. I'm not sure how to describe it but just wanted to see if anyone recalls this or has one of them to confirm. Does anyone know the specs as to how...

Does anyone know for sure if Episode IV was only originally recorded and released in Dolby Stereo 2-channel in 1977? Or did Dolby Stereo incorporate any surround channels at all? I though I read a while back that the original mix was in 6-track stero....is that the same as Dolby Stereo...or was...

My Pioneer DVL-700 won't flip to side B anymore automatically, and not even when I try with the button on the player and on the remote. Is it done for? Is it worth taking in to get fixed? Yes, I still play lasers even though I have a separate DVD player :) Thanks everybody!

I have a Samsung HCM-4215W and a Toshiba DVD player (the Nuon one) with Zoom. How come when I zoom out on a widescreen (2:35:1) DVD picture, I see more info (like 1 inch) lost on each side? Shouldn't the pic fill the screen with everything available on the DVD? Does this happen as well on larger...

The pictures on my Laserdiscs have been "jumping" on screen lately. It only happens with the ones I watch the most (SW Trilogy and Raiders). I have cleaned them carefully with CD cloth wipes, no liquids, but still the same thing. My other less-watched discs do not have this same problem. Have...

I recently purchased RPTY Samsung HCM 4215W and have regular Toshiba DVD player hooked up via component cables. I was thinking about upgrading to a prog scan player but will I notice a significant difference in pic clarity or is it just a lot of hype for minor imporvement? Worth investing in a...

Is it just me or does someone else agree that the EP II DVD is not as "clear" as they hype it up to be? Yes, I know they say it is a "digital clone"....Of course, the digital animation scenes are crystal clear and look spectacular, but the live action actors look horribly out of focus. Even when...

Did anyone get this for Christmas? or what have you heard about it's performance? Supposedly is a progressive scan player for cheap....is it worth it? Thanks guys.

Looking for a device to decode the AC-3/Dolby 5.1 signals from my Pioneer DVL-700 laserdisc player into my Pioneer VSX-24TX receiver.

I bought this in August and have a couple of general questions, if anyone can help: 1) When I try to watch a DVD in Cinema Mode (which switches a letterbox to 16:9, filling the screen), most of the time the screen is full but once in a while, it automatically switches back to letterbox...

I bought this monitor in August and have a couple of general questions, if anyone can help: 1) When I try to watch a DVD in Cinema Mode (which switches a letterbox to 16:9, filling the screen), during dark scenes the screen is full but once in a while when a daylight scene comes on, it...

Does anyone know where to find that upbeat snippet of music from the Clone War trailer right after Yoda says "Begun, this Clone War has..."??? That totally rocks and I cannot find that piece on any of the soundtracks and I never heard it in Ep II either in the theater. Please help!!!

:angry: Maybe it's just me but I can't stand it when people "cheat" and walk into the movie you are watching. I have several friends who do the "tours", paying one admission fee and seeing 4 movies in the same day but I cannot bring myself to do it. Why don't ciniplex managers staff enforce...
