    Is DTS dead on standard def DVD's?

    I might have missed this, but I'm just realizing that no new DVD's in the last several months carry the DTS audio format anymore. Was there a press release that DTS was only going to focus on HD DVD/Bluray?

    Playstation 1 = Great audio system?

    So I read this on MSN today and researched a bit. Basically if anyone has an old version of the Playstion 1, apparently it has an audio processor that rivals some high end CD players. Here's a link to the article. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15484873/ "Overall, both of these PlayStation...

    Saw II Uncut Reviews?

    I haven't seen and information on what they put back in this movie. Also, I recall with the first one, they improved the transfer. I am wondering if anyone knows if they did the same for this new release?

    Matrix Ultimate Edition is cropped!!

    Yup, didn't know if anyone else has noticed this. I did a search on it and it came up nada. The Ultimate Edition crops the sides about a quarter of an inch on each side. I did a side by side comparison. (well, on my 36 inch it's a quarter of an inch, maybe less) I noticed it in the very...

    Hills have Eyes

    So I didn't see an official discussion for this yet, so thought I'd ask if anyone has seen it yet. I'm going today. RT is at 50% so seems like a love it/hate it type. Hope I'm in the love it camp. I'll post back after I see it.

    The Descent, ever coming to the US?

    I've heard great things about this horror flick that was made in Britain. It's out on DVD in region 2 format, but was wondering about a release in Region 1. Has anyone heard anything?

    Does DVI-to-DVI really make any quality improvement?

    I have a 36 WEGA XBR High Def Sony TV and am currently using components to receive my HD. I have the option of using DVI cables, but not sure on the set that I have if it would make a difference. thx

    Fog Remake?

    So I haven't seen any official thread for this movie, maybe because it was "that" bad. However, I cannot say this for I did not see it. Wanted to get anyone's opinion on this classic remake? Did anyone see it??

    New Nada Surf Album

    So the Nada Surf Album is coming out (Weight is a Gift) and so far it is suprisingly good! Not sure why I suprisingly, because their last one was great, but I thought it would be hard to top it, I think they might have with the new one. FYI!

    Hi Def with Coax Cable???

    I am pretty sure that you cannot get a true High Def picture using a Coax, but I just got done installing a Samsung 23 inch LCD and I can't seem to see the difference. My Dad had Comcast come out and install the HD Box, and they connected it using a Coax. Well, I told my dad that you can...

    Anyone big on new band: Engineers?

    Well, not that new but for me they are. Stumbled on them on Sirius Sattelite. Very chill and atmospheric album. Still listening, but so far it's awesome if you like Doves, Pink Floyd, Radiohead...etc. Anyway, this would be a great SACD/DVD-A so I'm hoping it's already on the format, but I'm...

    So where's the Constantine Review??

    I was sure by now that HTF would have posted the Constantine review. I've noticed that not only on this site, but others as well, DVD reviews aren't posted like they were a couple of years ago. DVD-Basen is having less and less reviews of popular movies, more importantly, movies that you...

    High pitch coming from 36"Sony Wega HD CRT

    In the past couple of weeks I've noticed this faint high pitch frequency coming from inside the TV. It didn't bother me at first, but lately it's been getting louder. Still pretty faint to most ears, but it's driving me crazy. Does anyone know what could be causing this? If I put my ear...

    Blade Trinity Review?

    Just wondering if HTF is going to review this movie or not. It's coming out today and wanted an opinion from you guys. Actually I haven't seen to many DVD reviews of this movie yet. Kinda weird don't you think?

    Beck Guerro/DVD-A is not working

    Just wanted to know if anyone else is having problems getting this DVD-A portion to run on their system. I have a Pioneer 563A and have never had a problem with a SACD or a DVD-A. So it annoys the heck out of me to know this thing isn't working. I'm going to exchange it tomorrow for a...

    I have the 36 inch CRT HD(KV36XBR800) Sony Wega set and have had a problem in the upper left hand corner, discoloration problem. So the Tweeter tech came to my house with his De-gaussing tool (sp?) He ran it a few times with no sucess and thought right away that the picture tube needed to be...

    Death of Derek Frigo from Enuff Z'nuff

    I'm sure not many people know who this is or what band but thought I'd give a heads up to the Guitarist of Enuff Z'nuff. He died in May of a drug overdose. Enuff Z'nuff was a band that made it somewhat big in the late 80's with "New Thing" and "Fly High Michelle". They were mixed in with the...

    Release Date for Extended Version:Return of the King??

    I know I'm gonna get flack for this, cause it's probably already been stated, but is there a solid date for Extended Version of Return of the King. People at my work are still saying November, but I heard earlier. Anyone?

    How bout SACD/DVD-A in my car??

    So I've been listening to my Sea Change tonight for about an hour and I was thinking, wouldn't this be great in my car? Sure it's not the same and I probably couldn't listen to it in 5.1 unless I added a center (similiar to the new Acura TL). But the improved sound quality would be...

    Zero 7, Air...Cryin for SACD/DVD-A Treatment!

    With both these bands with new albums on the way, I pray that these get the SACD/DVD-A treatment. These bands are made for this format! But yet, both haven't embraced it. Air's first album, Moon Safari, would sound great in Multi-Channel. Does anyone have any good news pertaining to the...

    Sony 36XBR -800 problem...oh no!!

    I have had this TV for about 3 months now and last night I'm watching a movie where it's a bright scene. Well wouldn't you know it, the top left corner of the screen has a slight green discoloration. MAGNETS!!! Was my first thought, but my speakers (front left,right and center) are video...

    How about some newer artists for SACD/DVD Audio??

    I've been listening to SACD/DVD Audio for only a few months now and am highly pleased with it. But it wasn't until Beck's Sea Change that I really was blown away by it. Don't get me wrong, I'm into the classics and think Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon is awesome! But I'm seeing a trend...

    Two Toned Letter-box Bars

    Yeah, let me see if I can explain this one. I have noticed this before on a few widescreen movies (only the 2:35 format). The latest is the new extended version of the Two Towers, it is also on the original. Basically when watching the movie, I seem to see that the black bars are 2...

    Video Essentials: Brightness Question

    Ok, Just went through the brightness section a couple of times and am not really sure if I followed the instructions correctly. In regards to the 3 vertical brightness bars on each side of the fuge, (sp?) Am I supposed to see any of them? Right now I have it set so the 2 closest to the...

    Sony 27 inch has serious problems

    Wow, just when I bought the Sony 36 in XBR800 HDTV, my beloved 27 inch Sony KVseries went to crap! I've only had the unit 4 years and last year it acted up with something that is hard to describe. While watching TV it all of a sudden got 10 shades brighter, plus had lines streaking...

    Reverse 3:2 Pulldown vs. Progressive DVD Player

    I just bought the 36inch XBR800 HDTV. Love it so far, of course I haven't even set it up yet. Anyway, I know the unit has Cinemotion 3:2 Reverse pulldown, my question is, since it has this do I really need a progressive scan DVD Player? Take note, I wouldn't be getting a $800 DVD player...

    I just want the original Raiders!

    Is that so hard? I can't justify buying the whole box set when really I only loved the first one. Are they going to be releasing them seperately anytime soon? Help!

    Prince of Darkness new Released

    Can anyone tell me what's the point of saying you are releasing a new DVD of Prince of Darkness only to include the exact same picture and 2.0 sound quality? I heard they added a trailer, but why the hell go through the trouble of re-releasing if they aren't going to do anything? I was...
