I totally and wholeheartedly agree with this. I barely have time to watch all the good movies out there. no way in heck am i going to have time to watch extras as well. I'd rather pay 10 bux for a good transfer/sound than 20 bux for a bunch of extra hoopla i will never have time (nor desire) to...

wow, i never knew such a show existed.

i cannot comment on the dell as i have not used it. however, for the x1, especially with an acoustically dynamic movie, i dont hear the fan and i sit about 36 inches or so away from the PJ. on an old b/w movie with only dialog, i can hear the fan, but it is fairly low and does not interfere with...

which ver/mix/recording of O Fortuna is that? anyone know?

Paul, what did you end up using with your X1?

thanks for taking time out to answer, jay. out of 86 views, only 1 answer, but that was informative and helpful. i will go to bb and get the Toshiba then.

Hi, i wanted to get your opinions between the following 2 DVD players which are the same price: Toshiba 3900 or JVC XVS500 I have seen lots of good comments about the 3900, and not that many comments about the JVC. ik the JVC has a list price that is higher (which doesn't always equate...

as far as screens go, i am VERY happy with blackout fabric from Joanna's fabrics for $20. The X1 is great - just watch for the rainbows. if they do bother you, try a filter - i and others have posted on the other "I dropped the gun on an X1.." thread. Plus, i just got my $100 rebate in the...

what i'd like to know is how they can dare charge $4.99 for a 10pack of carnation instant breakfast (used to be $2.99 cpl yrs ago) or $6.99 for a box of Cinammon toast crunch???? why does everyone just not get up and say NO? let's start first with RIAA.

ok, i found the problem. when i attached a real DVDp digitally, the DD and DTS came on fine. Just not thru my computer. I had originally had problems setting up to get digital output on my computer, and that must only be sending out a regular PCM signal - not DD or DTS. I thought a complete...

thanks for this thread guys...really learned a lot from all of the responses!

Well, turns out that the Hoya filter helps the rainbow effect considerably, especially on b&w movies. however, since it is a filter, the light levels are decreased. since my screen is opposite a window (17' away, no other choice for placement), i cannot use the filter even with the blinds down...

what about Noble House? i thought both the book and the miniseries were very good. Had pierce brosnan and john rhys-davies. any word about dvd release?

bump...neone?

well, i spoke too soon. I am using the Matrix (which on the box says Dolby Digital) but i see no audio options in the dvd menu. so after settting it to DD on the receiver, and then playing through the dig coax, as soon as it started playing, it automatically switched to DPLII. I then tried to...

well, i have been several times in the menu b4, and only got choices for DPLII - music, cinema, emulation, and Dolby 3. Then i started just flipping arount the input from Coax1 to Optical1, 2,3, and lo and behold, DD shows up as a choice. Then i switch it back to Coax1, and lo and behold, i...

Ok, i rented a Dolby digital movie (i think star wars AOTC) and have it set to play through my Dell inspiron which has a digital audio out to my HK 520. In the DVD menu, i chose the DD track, yet on the receiver, the dolby digital LED never came on. I could cycle b/w DPLII, etc., but no DD...

well i just ordered a Hoya 62mm Neutral Density 2x filter (HOND262) (as per recommendation from AVSforums) from B&H photo/video for $24. i know i could have gotten it cheaper from ebay, etc., but in case it doesn't alleviate much of the rainbowing, i will send it back. i'll post my comments when...

well i went to my home depot...i couldn't find any 12 gauge on spools or speaker (only 3 conductor), so i had the person paged...after waiting 20 mins, some, well i won't get into my personal impression of the guy, guy shows up and says they don't carry 12 gauge. we look all over and cant find...

ok will check those out, thanks for your help :) . - asim

Ok...i have an X1 proj. Is it better to buy a long component cable from the DVDP (like 5 meters or so) and then use a short breakout cable to VGA or vice versa? i have seen posts about cables, etc., but not on lengths. if so, i must have overlooked. also, is having a 5 m long digital audio coax...

does anyone have a part number on the homedepot product? i can't quite seem to find the right thing on their website... and if someone knows offhand, is it cheaper than soundking at partsexpress? thanks.

Well my X1 came in this past week and here are my impressions using a Dell inspiron notebook and projecting to a white wall using the default settings. 1. LOTR and the Transformers movie looked great. Very little rainbow effects seen. With the 16:9 LOTR aspect in a room with no windows, the...

Ok, not sure if i should have put this on this board or the AVsources one, but here goes. I have a HK 520 and AE aegis 3 speakers. i just ordered a infocus X1 projector and hence am going the HT route. my question is, i would rather buy a pair of aegis one monitors for surrounds rather than a...

lookin sweet! (the HT that is....;) )

Scott: which store do you work in? brentwood?

anyone know if these are available in B-stock from anywhere? my search turned up negative...

Parker: Are you in the STL metro area?
