    HDMI to DVI conversion

    I am currently in the market for a flat-panel LCD HDTV and companion up-converting (to near-HD) DVD player. I noticed that, while the HDTV sets are offered with either DVI or HDMI inputs with DVI inputs generally featured on the less expensive sets, the up-converting DVD players currently...

    Remote problem on receiver..

    I have exactly the same problem with a 3-year old VR-509 (bought 11/01) and it has been getting steadily worse over the past 6 months to the point where the remote hardly ever works to turn on the receiver or adjust the volume. However, I know it's NOT the remote unit that is at fault because it...

    Pioneer VSX-1014TX Manual?

    Does anybody out there know where I could download a pdf of the owner's manual for the Pioneer VSX-1014TX? This sure looks like a nice machine and I am very interested in buying it, but before I take the plunge, I would like to verify the ease (or difficulty as the case may be) of certain...

    Question about French DVDs of The Lost Patrol & Le Samourai

    Regarding "Tous Les Matins du Monde", I was able to buy a Region 2 DVD of it about a year ago from TF1 Video who were the producing studio. Since then, as is often the case with French DVD, it has been withdrawn from sale. This DVD had no subtitles (English or French). For those of you who...

    Remote Problem

    Hi Todd: Thanks. I think you are probably right and I have just about reached the same conclusion as you, i.e., time to upgrade. Jean-Luc

    Remote Problem

    I currently own a 3-year old 5.1 Kenwood VR-509. This unit works well, but I am having intermittent problems with response to the remote control commands, especially the basic ones that turn on and off the receiver and control its volume. This means that the receiver will sometimes normally...

    Onkyo vs. Denon?

    I currently own a 3-year old 5.1 Kenwood VR-509. This unit works well but I have been looking for an excuse to upgrade it with one of these new 7.1 receivers that upconverts both composite and S-video inputs to component, which would greatly simplify connection to my Toshiba HDTV. Besides...

    What Will it Take to Unwrap a DVD?

    I know this is not a really BIG issue but I was really wondering if anybody out there shares with me the (growing) frustration of opening a new DVD package. At first there was only the UPC label that had to be removed from the top edge before you could open the box. I suppose that was a...
