Thanks for the link Derek. It appears these units (with basic tivo) are starting to make their appearance. I'll have to start making some decisions. :) john gilson

Nice discussion. I have little problem paying up to $20 dollars for a CD. As far as inflation has gone this has gone up less (since 1988) then movies have for example...and music is something that I listen to over and over and over for years (unlike all non Lord of the Rings DVDs :). Because...

I noticed the same clicks/static (whatever name one feels best) in the center channel of the 5.1 DD channel on the Zepplin DVD (just the first disc...the second disc sounds fine). As there are other alternatives (I prefer the PCM stereo) this doesn't bother me too much. Still, I always hope for...

Marcel V, Thanks for seconding the observation of the vertical bars. I guess I'm happy that it isn't just my set...but then I'm unhappy it isn't just my set. At this point I think I'll look for kluges to minimize the bars. Perhaps a little extra room lighting will do the trick. Bryan...since...

As an aid to people considering the purchase of this (or like) sets I thought I'd post my experiences. Although these sets availability is waning as the new models come in, these comments may (or may not) apply to newer Panasonic models. Or they may only apply to my set (which is part of the...
