    Onkyo 606 says PCM not DTS-HD-MA

    I just bought the Onkyo TX-SR606. It's connected to the Sony BDP-S550 Blu-ray player via HDMI 1.3b cable. I watched The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. I selected DTS-HD Master Audio on the Sony. However, the Onkyo displayed the signal as "Multi Channel PCM", not DTSHD-MA. A previous thread...

    Why is DLP so unpopular?

    Just spoke to Andersen's TV rep. I wanted the Mitsu WD-65835 65 inch, Costco $2400. It has 120 Hz rather than 60 Hz refresh rate to reduce motion blur (especially good for sports), which is a new technology. A comparable LCD would probably cost around $4,000 conservatively.

Director Benicio Del Torro (he directed Blade 2) did an HD transfer of "The Devil's Backbone" (see the specs), which was recently released...

    DVD - digital transfer edition

    I just bought the special edition release of "Goodfellas", which is an "all-new digital transfer". I had already owned the previous DVD version. I compared the two DVD's and found that the S.E. had a better picture. However, I thought that since DVD stands for "DIGITAL video disc", they should...
