I'm in the Blu Ray camp though the higher prices make me hedge. I do take advantage of the sales at Amazon when they offer the buy two get one free deals. What I am not going to do is buy the standard edition BDs then later on see that an extended edition is on its way. Case in point would be...
Hello all. I was researching voltage regulators and found the APC LE1200 1200VA Voltage Regulator. I have a question regarding its usage. I am considering using it for home theater system with 2 Monster component line conditioners. Could I connect both to this unit's outlets so that they will...
Hello all. I have an amp that needs repair which is probably a fuse that needs to be replaced on one of the channels. Anyone know of a shop around the Southern California area? Thanks in advance.
I spoke to a rep at Anthem who told me that Anthem will not install decoding chips for Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD [MA]. They feel that the decoding done in the Blu-Ray and DVD-HD player will be sufficient enough sent as an LPCM signal through the HDMI 1.3a cables. I was...
Hello. I lucked out in paying real cheap for a Denon DVD-5900. It has the BNC connectors as well as RCA components and the activated DVI output. I will be hooking it up to a TV with component inputs ONLY. Is it worth it to get the BNC to RCA component cable? They have nicely made BNC-RCA...
Hello. I'm looking for the above unit in excellent shape and in proper working order with original manual/box/test cd for a friend. Please E-mail privately. Thank you.
Thanks guys. Whenever I browse through titles on Blu Ray or DVD HD I always check the audio specs to see if it sports DDTrue HD. It is indeed good news that some issues will have DTS-HD coming up. I spoke to a rep at Sonic Frontiers who confirmed that they will be able to upgrade my aged but...
OK...DTS-HD will be 5.1 then? Not to veer off topic but I've read that the current Dolby Digital True HD available on current releases is supposedly only 2 channels at the moment. Is that true or is it 5.1 and higher? The reason I don't buy any of the new releases on Blu-Ray or HD-DVD is I would...
Unit is in excellent shape and no issues in performance. Used sparingly as part of a bedroom system. I am the original owner in a non-smoking, child and pet-free home. Rated conservatively due to age. Great universal player with clean video output and smooth audio sonics. Will be shipped double...
Hello Chris. Thanks for responding. The Sony does not have an aspect ratio setting on its menu. Being a standard 4:3, all it has is the 16:9 enhanced mode which is the "squeeze" feature for anamorphic widescreen DVDs. It's odd but when I set the DVDO to the 480P format, the Sony displays the...
Hello all. I own a Sony KV36XBR800 4:3 CRT TV. It seems to convert ALL HD signals to 16:9. It poses a problem through the following set-up: Kenwood DV-5900M - set to progressive scan with 4:3 LB aspect radio DVDO Iscan HD - the Kenwood is connected to this via component input and is set to...
Hey...there's a thread about this show which I stumbled on. "Supernatural" is quite good. The banter between the two leads is quite amusing. There are some attractive gals thrown in for eye candy for the male audience. Being a Led-Zeppelin devotee, it is funny how they were referenced twice...
Hello all. Being the happy owner of an Anthem AVM-20, I contacted Anthem if the company can upgrade my unit to process Dolby True-HD and DTS HD-Master audio. As expected, they will accomodate the process in an estimated couple of months. Well, that is one concern that I'm relieved will be...
