I just recently (Saturday) purchased a new Pioneer Elite receiver to replace my aging Sony 555-ES. I get all my connections hooked up (HDMI, component, FiberOp, etc..), fire it up, run the MCACC, set the volume to -40db and put in the Blu-ray of Batman Begins. And hear nothing. As it...

.... or a low end midgrade one? I've been looking at the JVC XV-N55SL as a christmas gift for myself this year, but I'm wondering if it's better to buy it new or perhaps get a slightly used Denon DVD-910. The Denon would be more, but I'm not that conerned about the price. As a second...
This is for the orignal release of Usual Suspects, not the new "Special Edition" one, although that is part of my question. Is the "Special Edition" worth double dipping for since I already own the first release? When I listen to the commentary track, it sounds like there are two...
Can anybody jump in and give me a little bit of explanation regarding the end of The Thing? Maybe I'm just stupid, but I don't really understand what I'm supposed to think. I don't want to say too much, but is Childs a Thing or not? What exactly do him and MacGready do when they just sit there...
..does anybody know if you can still obtain it in watchable form? I.e. on a disc as teaser or something? I saw it twice in the theater before 9/11 and I've been wishing I could get a copy of it since then. Anybody have any ideas?
I just moved into a new apartment and finally have my home theater set up and running. Unfortunately, due to the design of my living room, I am forced to put my HT system in a small cubby and catty-corner everything. If you need imagery, picture yourself flat against your fall facing out. Turn...
If you do a search on Ebay for movies that, as far as I know, are not out on DVD yet, you'll get tons of hits. I stumbled upon a TON of auctions for the Indiana Jones trilogy. Some even claimed the DVD's were in DTS, which I find hard to believe. Are these just laserdisc rips, or is it the real...
I was looking at this puppy the other day and I am SERIOUSLY impressed with it’s features, especially the Ultra 2 processing. For 3 grand, it doesn’t seem like a bad price either, but I need to know how the public feels about it. Audioreview only had three reviews and they all said the same...
I'm not sure if this has been posted before, I did a search for THX and came up w/ about 80 pages of results. Plus, this is my first time posting in this forum. I'm looking to upgrade my HT from it's current setup, and I'm considering the idea of having THX certification on as many components...
