Michael, thx. Re: picture frame format having "more to do with the age of the DVD than the age of the film...". That's what I meant to say, I didn't do a good job. I did an online retailer search of this particular film after your response and found a couple different releases available, one of...
It's possible that the film (Enemy of the State) WAS released only in the reduced format, but I doubt it since it's a relatively recent major release and the review comments I read on Netflix seemed to imply that it was an anamorphic release. (Film was dreck, by the way...) I think readers of...
One thing about Netflix that has bugged me thus far - selections labeled as Widescreen sometimes turn out to be pictured-framed, which is the absolute worst on a 16x9 set. Is there any way to specify that you want to order the DVD in full-screen anamorphic if available, instead of the reduced...

Hi Michael,
The 12v trigger from Rotel to MA6100 vid input (yellow jack) works properly. I have tried the following steps, with no success (I, too, can't believe that this would NOT work as one would expect, maybe I'm doing something wrong?).
With Rotel connected to MA6100 as above...
Michael, thx again for watching this thread... IIRC, I think your situation is all MA700s, and it seems like they must be cascading the trigger successfully. I'm not sure what the difference is, but if the 2nd MA700 triggers via the RC-5 input when the 1st MA700 triggers via vid/12v input, ONE...
I am bummed. I made an educated guess from reviewing the "engrish" translation of the Marantz MA6100 manual that it would be the solution to my compatibility needs for remote power-on of the 5 MA500s currently in my system. The MA6100 adds a standard 12V trigger capability, unlike the MA500...
