In the near future, I will be buying my first HDTV and probably an upconverting DVD player (I'll wait unitl they build a HD DVD player that combines the two standards before I go in that direction), and I have a question about HDMI. Since HDMI combines audio and video in one cable, and my...
Not sure if this is the right forum for this but, I used to be a Netflix member and cancelled my membership earlier this year when I was in a cost cutting mode. It also gave me some time to catch up on some Tivo'd stuff and some other movies I'd saved up. Anyway, I'm considering re-upping...
An earlier thread discussed the fact that Paramount generally releases their TV show DVDs pretty bareboned. It got me thinking. What would you consider the must haves that should be on every TV series DVD? This is my list: 1) Every episode uncut as it appeared during it's initial showing...
I have about $1500 to spend on a new TV, and this is what I'd like to do: Biggest screen with least amount of maintaince with HDTV capabilities (not necessarily right now, but I'd like to be able to easily port to it in the near future). In researching, it is my understanding that a plain...
While playing DVDs especially, I notice sometimes I get crackling sounds from my speakers. I seems to happen more frequently when the sound is louder. What I am asking, is what are the probably causes of this type of thing? I have a Kenwood lower end receiver (about a year old) and a 5.1 set of...
What types of things would cause an occasional popping sound in my speakers? I have a Kenwood 6050 receiver, and an inexpensive set of RCA speakers from an older home theater in a box that I am using until I can afford better ones and a Sony 50 watt sub that I have turned up only about 1/4 of...
I just purchased a Kenwood 6050 receiver and I noticed it had something called Circle Surround II from SRS. The sound using is sounds a little bit richer than using PLII. Can anybody tell me what CS II is?
I currently have an inexpensive RCA 2600 HTIB system. The receiver has burned out and I am looking to replace it with a better one. The subwoofer that came with my 2600 is connected using 2 wires, just like the front and surround speakers. Most of the receivers I have looked at only have an RCA...
I posted this in the Movies Forum, but maybe it's more appropriate here. Does anyone know why NL Animal House is NOT available on DVD? I do recall seeing an old version of the DVD (or VHS) available on EBay, but I can't find it new anywhere, or even rentable from Blockbuster, Hollywood, etc. Are...
I don't know if this is the right forum, but does anyone know why National Lampoon's Animal House is NOT available on DVD? I see that at one time it may have been, but I can't for the life of me find it. It's one of my favorite movies.
