Very valid point, Michael :) Thanx for chiming in!

Thank you for the review, Michael! I'm curious about this statement, though. I appreciate the SENTIMENT you're trying to get across, but who exactly are you affecting by doing this? I'd think waiting is only helping the studio by keeping relevent information from the purchaser longer than would...

After what I just went through to figure this out, I couldn't agree more. The funny thing is, when I first had the problem I just thought I might have had a bad disc. So I tried another one that I knew had worked just a few days prior. When it also had the problem I figured I had a setting...

Well, I'm not sure what was happening when my problem first started, but it looks like the settings I originally had (BITSTREAM with Secondary OFF) and I KNOW I never changed are working correctly again. I confirmed my A/V receiver was properly set up with appropriate sound settings (DOLBY D...

Hmm. I hadn't thought of that. I've made no changes to the A/V receiver recently, but I know that I did cycle through all the different 'MOVIE' options on the receiver while I was troubleshooting (things like MONO, THEATER DIMENSION, ETC). Nothing provided sound until I had made the Secondary...

Complete loss of audio. Secondary OFF (BITSTREAM), nothing at all unless I start the movie with TrueHD selected. Secondary ON (PCM), everything works just fine. It's definitely controlled by the setting, and not a problem per se.

Thank you for the quick response, Troy. If that's the case, then is there a way to continue using Bitstream, but not lose the secondary audio? That's what's killing me right now

Okay, I've spent two days looking around various AV forums trying to find a definitive-ish answer to a sound configuration question I now have. I've gotten more confused (rather than less), so maybe I can get a good answer here. I have a Panasonic BD35 connected by HDMI 1.3 to an Onkyo...

Guys, thanx again for your help. After a bit more research, I was sold on the Onkyo HT-S6100, and I was able to pick it up for $549. Not a bad deal at all, I think. I'll pick up some better wires (seems like a lot of people called out the included wire as thin and worth the upgrade) and a...

I probably can't find a local dealer to listen to the Onkyo, but considering the room in question and the good luck I've had following opinions on HTF in the past, I'm more than comfortable with a blind purchase on this. Is it possible to set up this 7.1 set with the typical 5.1 configuration...

Hmm. I found this Onkyo set (it's 7.1, but seems to have all the appropriate audio options you mentioned.) Looks like I can find it for around $600 in a few places, too. Damn, I may have to bite on this one. http://www.onkyousa.com/model.cfm?m=...ss=Systems&p=f

Thanx! I'll start looking into the suggestions you've made, and see if I can settle on something

Hi gang. I'm posting this question here as I think my biggest concern involves speakers. I'm setting up a home theater system in a new home; living room is hardwood floor, so I'm looking for a wireless solution (at least in the rear, if not entirely). I don't want to spend more than $500...

Thanx Leo - not necessarily what I wanted to hear, but I kind of guessed I might be looking at a problem with the player. I haven't had a chance to really watch anything since I posted, so I was expecting to do a bit more detailed experimentation this week. I'll play around with the XBox...

Greetings and Happy Holidays, HTF! Quick question for the gang. I purchased the BD35k Thanxgiving weekend, and have it hooked up as follows: - HDMI video to Samsung 50" DLP, 1080p (audio disabled) - Optical cable (6') to converter/converter to coaxial (6') receiver input (no optical input...

Thank you _Man_. I had already been leaning toward sticking with the Panny, so I'm glad to hear at least one opinion that agrees. I'm not interested in the PS3, so I'll be waiting patiently for the Panny

Sorry to revive a dying thread, but I just saw an offer in Best Buy that has interested me enough to ask the following: Samsung BDP1500 - worth the investment? It's on sale this week for $299, same as the upcoming Panasonic that I had settled on, but when purchased this week, it comes with...

Thanx for the suggestions and input, Gene. I think I have a good list of options to compare and contrast now

Hi all. I'm posting in this thread, now that I've sorted out a question on an upcoming Blu-ray player purchase. In the next few months, I'll be picking up my first HDTV, Blu-ray player, and A/V receiver. TV will be 1080i or p, and Blu-ray will likely be the Panasonic DMP-BD35. I'm looking...

After a little more reading, I think I've answered my own question about cables. HDMI is what I want, from player to receiver, and receiver to TV. As long as I stick with 6' or under between each source, I should be fine with just about any cable (I see a couple places advertised as good cable...

Thank you for your responses, guys I had originally seen the 7.1 option on the BD55, which was why I was leaning towards it. But maybe I've misunderstood the actual functionality; if I pick up a 7.1 receiver, then I don't need 7.1 on the player, is what I'm hearing (well, reading, at any...

Hi all. I've browsed these forums quite a bit, but never posted. So, hi there In the last few weeks I've made the mental transition to finally move to Blu-ray. After a few days of browsing this thread for equipment ideas, I'm officially overwhelmed. I'm looking for a good quality player...

Thanx to everyone for responding :) That's one of the nice things about SOME planned HD releases for older films - sometimes it prompts a similar regular dvd release as well. Haven't made the leap to HD just yet, but it's films like these would push me into the new formats if they don't...

I seem to remember some talk several months ago that all three of these films would possibly see nifty new special editions on regular DVD. I can't seem to find anything new by way of confirmation or denial, and thought I'd just pose the question to the group at large. Anyone have new or...

From what I could see available in the UK, there are three Best Of Most Haunted Live 2-disc sets, and then an additional VERY Best Of Most Haunted 1-disc release. Can't seem to find anything about full season releases, or a potential US release of any Most Haunted Live material. Hmm...

I picked this up today as a christmas gift, so I haven't opened it to know exactly what is inside. However, Best Buy has it on sale this week for $165 ... MUCH cheaper than anyone else, web or otherwise. Just thought you should know before you plan out your purchasing strategy :)

Hey all. Has anyone come across any details regarding whether a Region 1 release for the Most Haunted Live series is planned? I hadn't seen this show prior to this last weekend, and I was surprised at how entertaining it was :) I can see some box set available in Region 2, but no...
