I bought the dvd from Dolby back in Dec with my Dolby plaque and it's very awesome.The dvd inculdes all the Dolby trailers including the new one for DD-EX (Waterfall);8 trailers in all.It also includes Dolby Pro-Logic II and Surround trailers that they use for games on the PS2 and PC such as The...
I bought a 4:3 Akai(PTH5498) 54" HDTV Ready from Sam's Club almost 4 months ago for $1299 and it's great.Had it calibrated the second month I had it and it's the best investment into my hometheater.I highly recommend them and plus it's all Samsung guts in the inside.Akai is doing great with...
Many thanks for your reply.:)
So you are saying there are DirecTV receivers that also have OTA tuners with them as well?That sounds allot nicer than having to buy and extra OTA tuner later on for the local stations.My TV doesn't have any info about it accepting 720p, only 1080i/480i/480p.Does...
Alright, right now I have a DirecTV Plus receiver for the analog 27" TV in the den.My dish is one of those big oval dish's that span about 35" wide that was used for sat internet at one point but not anymore.I have a brand new 54" HDTV sitting in the HT room.Now I want to get HDTV from DirecTV...

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...
Great review:emoji_thumbsup:
I cannot wait to get my copy of this set.
Also, did anyone watch ET(entertainment tonight show) today?They had a small story on the BTTF dvd set coming out, as well as small clips of the extra features to be on the dvd set.Just makes one more anxious to have it...
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?
Actually Akai is a real company based in Santa Monica, California.They've been making musicial engineering products for many years and have recently been taking the plunge in making TV's and other electronics with Samsung parts.I myself have an Akai as well.I have the PTH5498(54" HDTV) and it's...
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.
Not that I know of, Akai is owned by Akai Electric Company, Ltd(APH USA) which have been making keyboards and recording mixing stations for years and are now branching out into the radio and TV profession.Their headquaters is located in Santa Monica, CA.
I bought the PTH5498 from Akai more...
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...
I just bought my first HDTV being the Akai PTH5498, 54" HDTV for 1299$ from Sam's.
So far no problems have occured except having to buy a progressive dvd player for it.My old Pioneer 353K interlaced player made allot of banding and shadowy horizontal lines in dark scenes.I thought it was the TV...
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...
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...
I live in South Carolina, when I purchased the card for Monsters Inc. I was told this by the manager: "You will not lose rentals if you miss a week, you have 4 weeks in between your rentals meaning you can rent 10 rentals in 2 years but you will not lose any of your free rentals if you miss...
