    Austin Powers: Goldmember - Technical Issues (merged thread)

    I believe, correct me if i'm wrong though.But that some disks(especially in the past)wouldn't let you change audio from Dolby to DTS for the fact that they think it would damage certain receivers that couldn't decode the DTS signal.Thus keeping those people from accidentaly changing it on the...

    Same problem with my Panasonic RP62. Cannot pause or scan through chapters on Goldmember. This also happens occasionaly on my Rush Hour 2 DVD.They are both of the New Line InfiniFilm releases, could it be a related problem with InfiniFilm maybe?

    I have the Panny RP62 and have no problems with the exception on Disc 2.During the trailers and TV spots there seems to be this brown line that flashes at the bottom of the screen, it will zip by and sometimes it's stays there....very annoying.

    How's the Beetlejuice Disc?

    It definatly needs a better treatment. IMO the video quality looks like it was taken right from a VHS copy of the film, it's nice but very grainey.This was the first dvd I bought, and compared to my other early released dvd movies it needs improving.The 5.1 soundtrack is great though, the...

    Shadowy "banding" on PTH5498, any suggestions?

    Thanks for the reply, but my set has been fixed for days now. My problem with the shadowy lines was my dvd player. I didn't have a progressive scan player connected to this HDTV and a friend told me that may be my problem. So I went out and bought an RP62 to see if that was it, and low and...

    Shadowy "banding" on PTH5498, any suggestions?

    EDIT: Fixed :) I bought a Panny RP62 and the lines are now gone. I suppose the interlaced Pioneer DVD353K was the problem. Now with the progressive scan player the lines never show up.

    I just bought an Akai PTH5498 HDTV this past week and I've noticed when watching dvd's that during some scenes that horizontal lines of shadow and light streaks begin moving up and down.I suppose this is what is called "banding" or "ringing"?I was hoping some may know if a service tech can fix...
