Let me add another. Not really a video or concert: Decline of Western Civilization Part 2 - The Metal Years Would also like to see concert DVDs of: The Bangles ZZ Top Night Ranger Steve Winwood Creed (Human Clay tour) Mushroomhead
The first time I ran across discs w/o booklets was when I bought a 2-pack from Best Buy. It was The Fast and the Furious and Scarface. I thought maybe they didn't include them in the 2-pack discs.
The OP gave two of the three on my concert wish list. Pink Floyd - Pulse Iron Maiden - Live After Death Also want Pink Floyd: Delicate Sound of Thunder.
Wow I can't believe it's been that long already. I was one of those people who took to DVD quick. Before video stores ever thought of renting them. I got my first player, a Sony DVP-S500D, in November of 1997 as part of my first full HT. Alot of people I knew and associated with on the net said...
I finally had a chance to watch my copy yesterday and was absolutely impressed with the pq. There were a few dark spots that got a little grainy, but all in all it looked great. AB did an excellent job on the transfer. Almost too good. The clarity makes the effects looked too cheesey at times...
Tom, Thanks. With that being said, what should I put the settings at on the Pioneer to get the most accurate pq. I use my Avia numbers as a basis to adjust the other input settings. What I basically want is to have my pq be with the DVD player as it would be if there were no video adjustments...
Ahhh I see what you are saying Tom. If I had a TV with no individual video settings I would use the TV's adjustments for Avia calibration and then go back and recalibrate using the Pioneers adjustments to tweak DVD pq w/o affecting pq for other sources. Is that correct???
Thanks for the input Tom. The only thing I am worried about is if I am getting an accurate calibration with the players setting in the middle. Luckily all of the inputs on my RPTV are adjustable on their own.
Ok but what I am asking is do I need to use the video adjustments in the DVD players menu as well as the ones on my TV. It would seem pointless to adjust those three settings in both the player and the TV. And if I am calibrating using the video adjustments of the TV, how accurate will they be...
In the set-up menu of the Pioneer there is adjustments for contrast, brightness and chroma. I imagine these would affect the picture when making adjustments with Avia. How should these be set before video calibration?? All the way down, all the way up, or at the default setting.
Just wondering when using Avia if I should mess with any of the video adjustments in the menu of the Pioneer DV-563A. Should they be left at default or minimized as much as possible. Or do I use these in the actual calibration. Thanks
They are actually Quadpolar speakers. A mid on the top and bottom and two tweeters that fire from the front at opposite 45 degree angles. http://www.axiomaudio.com/surroundspeakers.html
Just got my Axiom QS4s. While trying to line up the bracket with a stud I discover it is not possible to place them where I was going to. Around 3' up on the wall directly behind my couch. They would have been right at each end of the couch. My next option is putting them around 4' up and 2' out...
Well since I didn't get any feedback I decided to take a chance. I am not disappointed. I ordered my speaker stands Monday night and they arrived today in excellent condition. Low prices and free shipping on all a/v furniture.
When I first heard about this I refused to even d/l the trailer. I didn't want any parts of a remake of this classic. But curiousity got the best of me and I watched it. Gave me the chills. I am looking forward to it now. Not necessarily as a remake, but more as an entity on it's own. Personally...
Just wondering if anyone has dealt with them. They have good prices on speaker stands and audio racks. Checked resellerratings.com but there was no feedback. Any opinions??
Sorry if this has been covered before but I am on a short time restraint here. I just picked up the Onkyo on Saturday. Thought I would be happy with it but I realized it only has 2 rear optical inputs. The Yamaha has 3. That right there could be the deciding factor. What I am wondering is I...
I have read many threads on the subject of surround placement and can't really get an exact solution. The area that I am working with is 7.5 x 12. I am considering the Axiom M2 bookshelf for surrounds. My new couch will be right against the wall and will take up the whole wall. There is a full...
Yes so would I. I'm looking to buy tonight but I want to get the right one. If I will see a drastic difference in the Plus then I can constitute the extra money. If the QuadField Focus isn't going to make that much of a difference, then there are other places I could used that extra $300-400...
Switched from cable to Dish about 3 years ago and couldn't be happier. Here is why: -Better picture and sound. -Menus and channel guides make finding something to watch or a specific program a snap. No scrolling through channels or going to one specific one that has a scrolling guide of what...
I am purchasing one or the other within the next few days. What I need to know is the QuadField Focus on the Silver Plus going to make a drastic difference in pq??? Is it worth an extra $300??? That is the only feature on the Plus that is even making me consider it. None of the other differences...
I was considering the STF-2. But with the fact that most CompUSA stores are sold out and I would have to pay shipping from the HSU store, I decided on the VTF-2. Price is $449 right now with free shipping. A mere $25 more than the STF-2 shipped
I am still on the hunt for a good DVD player for my HT upgrade. Just when I think I have found a good model, I go out searching for reviews and opinions and read something bad. I didn't think this was going to be that difficult. Is there such a thing as over-researching??? :D I just don't want...
This is what I was told about cleanings from a very reputable HT store in my area. It doesn't need to be done. The guns are in an area that is almost sealed and aren't very susceptible to dust and dirt. The thing that gets dirt and dust inside is actually opening them up to clean them. It is...
