One button (volume down) on my Denon AVR E400 is now only intermittently responsive. So I'm looking at replacements. As I google trying to replace the remote, I see some on eBay and elsewhere but they look like generic, other-manufacturer replacement remotes, not identical to the original My...

Being a home theatre enthusiast puts one out of step with the latest/greatest in commercial movie theaters. So: I ask you, you experienced and up-to-date movie theater goers in the Bay Area (SF-Oakland-San Jose & extending to the Sacramento area, if need be), what theater in that region will...

(Some spoilers may follow.) Watching the BD of Tequila Sunrise for the first time, I noticed that at the 1:36:40 mark (Russell & J.T. Walsh in the harbor office) the picture goes noticeably softer, almost out-of-focus blurry. (It may be that the problem starts in the previous scene--with...

Turner Classic Movies has been upconverted to HD as long as I've had it on my HD system. Now I think it's changed to true, non-upconverted HD, but I'd like to get some confirmation. (Google yielded nothing, and found nothing at the TCM site.) What I'm seeing (JVC RS-1 on 122" screen)...

No pre-order up at Amazon yet, but here's the Entertainment Weekly blog post. The headline for me: 90 minutes of deleted scenes from Fire Walk With Me. Motherlode!

Is it worth the extra $ to buy the RPTV with an integrated HD tuner rather than without? At the moment I don't have any HD signal capability, but if the DirectTV HDnet Movie thing proves true once I have my HT set up, I might eventually go that way, which means (I think) that I'd need an the...

I'm about to take delivery on a Samsung DLP 61," and the helpful salesman at Magnolia told me something I didn't quite understand: Sure, DVDs and HDTV signals fill (or almost fill, depending on DVD aspect ratio) the 16:9 screen. But what about broadcast letterbox movies/shows (Turner...

Greetings all: I hope this, my first post, won't be too abstract or simply annoying....but here goes... I'm wondering if seasoned HT owners truly achieve something like the immersion effect of watching a movie in a theater. I ask because I'm about to go from a 34-inch Sony and two...
