    I'm beginning to become a "DTS GUY".

    The more DTS disks I acquire the more i'm beginning to wonder how there is any debate that DTS is better than Dolby Digital. I've only been on this board for 6-9 months now but i'm beginning to wonder just how anyone could honestly believe that DTS and DD are equals. I found a copy of Road...

    One more question for those who own NCAA 2004.....

    Last year's game had a cool little option for exhibition games where you could play your game at the current time of day. It basically had a live clock option and you'd play with whatever current lighting would be at that time. Does anyone know if this year's game has that option? Thanks...

    I can't be the only one who's noticed some problems with the Punk Drunk Love DVD.....

    There have been a few threads on this movie already but none of them have seemed to mention the image quality issues this supposed "Superbit" has. I recall someone mentioning some edge enhancement but i've noticed several flaws beyond that. Here are two more you'll notice in the first 5...

    Finally bought my first Superbit last night. (Fifth Element)

    and I was quite impressed with what I saw. I ended up going with The Fifth Element as my first Superbit experience. I had seen the movie once during it's opening week in theaters and I remember it not holding my attention that well at the time. That was a different time in my life though and I...

    My new Wega isn't auto-squeezing 16:9 material.....

    I finally got everything hooked up last night and I noticed a small problem with the 16:9 auto squeeze feature on my new 36HS510. My Sony dvd player immediately activated the squeeze mode but for some reason my Gamecube games and Burnout 2 on the Xbox wouldn't do it. They were displaying a 16:9...

    I'm looking at component switchers at Crutchfield.com and i've found a JVC for $99. It says it allows 30mhz of component video bandwidth. If I hook my xbox up to it will it transmit the 720p or 1080i signal? Thanks. Dan.B

    As some of you may know already I purchased a Sony KV-32HS500 from Circuit City for $1200 last month. I knew I wasn't moving into my new apartment for another 6 weeks so I chose to have it delivered directly to the new apartment (on the 3rd floor) on the day I moved in. So, here I am about...
