    New Outland DVD?

    After reading this thread, I went to Amazon UK and found Outland WS along with Amazon Queen. I didn't notice that my order at DeepDD was for a full screen version. Even though I couldn't cancel my order, I appreciate the heads-up on Outland. (I also got some good info from DVDcompare.com.) Pete

    good dvd player...

    I would recommend an Oppo. Check it out online. I bought a 971, but now they have the 981. Great upconverter. Pete

    Beware of StoreYourMedia.com!

    If you messed up on your CC number, then it meant they wouldn't get paid. Kinda self-serving, right? In my case, they put through my charge right away. Once they had their money - whether or not I had received what I ordered no longer mattered. That's what my complaint is all about. Thanks...

    Beware of StoreYourMedia.com!

    I ordered a DVD Rack from StoreYourMedia.com but they send me a CD Rack. DVD's don't fit on 4 of the 5 shelves. I don't have any CD's. (I do have 477 DVD's!) Anyway, the problem is that they will not respond to my phone calls or Emails. I am having to go through all the trouble of disputing...

    HD-DVD International DVD List -

    Is there a region limitation to the HD-XA1? I would love to get the all-region "Reign of Fire" HD-DVD from Japan and play it on my US player. I know that's a problem with SD DVD players, but I'm hoping HD-DVD has risen above region limitations. (I'm an action-movie junkie.) Also, there are...

    Dove head first into HD. Help me not drown!

    Since no one else has responded, I'll try to help. I don't have a Playstation 3 (you lucky dog!), but do what you suggested - plug the Playstation into your TV for video, and into your receiver for sound. I have a new Yamaha "659", a JVC HD61FN97 LCOS HDTV, a HD-XA1 HD DVD player, a HD Cable...

    DVD Player Trade - NTSC Region 1 for PAL Region 2

    I have a Toshiba SD-3980 Progressive Scan DVD player* (not very expensive - worth about $60) that is NTSC Region 1, and I would like to trade with someone who has a PAL Region 2 Progressive Scan player. I have 3 PAL Region 2 DVD's that I would like to be able to play. *I've only played 2...

    Truehd/DD+ yamaha reveiver sound setup question?

    I have the Toshiba HD-XA1 (with Firmware 2.0 applied) and a Yamaha RX-V659. Optical and analog sound connections like you mentioned. To get True HD/DD+ sound, I use the remote's "Multi Ch In" button. Check this thread for player settings...

    I read on another site that 2.1 may be coming out soon. Nothing definite, though. AVSForum. Pete

    I see no Image using HDMI Connection

    Encountered the same problem last night, setting up my new XA1. Change the TV's input to whatever digital connection is right for the HDMI of your DVD player. It is set to a input area for the component connection. Pete.

    Are these titles available anywhere anamorphically enhanced?

    Thanks for the links. I found anamorphic R2 versions of "Armageddon", "Lake Placid" and "The Game" using them. Movies I re-watch at least once a year. Pete

    Center Speaker On Top of RPTV

    I have a JVC HD-61FN97, and my CC-370 Paradigm (25 lbs) has been mounted on an Omnimount for about 60 days. No sign of any sagging. (the frame of the tv screen certainly doesn't seem flimsy enough to sag) Pete

    Video Processor questions...

    I know nothing about a video processor, but I've recently seen a few comments that raised my curiosity. Could some patient person answer my questions? My TV accepts HDMI 1080P input. I do not need a HDMI switcher. 1. Is a Video Processor only for folks with projectors, or would it provide...

    half way decent surround sound

    I got some nice speakers at Audiogon.com. Good way to stretch a buck, IMO. Consider Energy Take 5's. Pete

    Donner Superman 2 SE (merged thread)

    I love movies - and I prefer action ones. But I am more interested in the content of a movie than its artistic value. With that in mind, could someone tell me what is supposed to be so good about the Donner Cut of Superman 2? I've been reading this thread, but so far I haven't seen the reason...

    Has anyone ever ordered a big tv online? What are the chances it'll arrive unharmed?

    Four years ago I bought a 50" CRT RPTV (Toshiba 50H84) from an online dealer. It arrived undamaged, and worked perfectly for the past 4 years. Several weeks ago, I bought a JVC HD-61FN97 from Best Buy's online site. Arrived undamaged. I also bought a SVS PB12-NSD/2 subwoofer online. Arrived...

    Stand for JVC HD-61FN97

    Yikes! I've been hijacked! I finally found a stand that fits. It's the Nea Moda Wide TV Stand (220337) at Circuit City. Less than $250. Pete

    The Highlight of your life (so far)

    Newbie – need help choosing speakers for 5.1 setup. ~ 3000 budget

    FWIW - I just bought a 5.1 setup. Paradigm Monitor 5's (front), CC-370 (center) and ADP-370 surrounds. For the subwoofer I got a SVS PB12-NSD/2. They sound wonderful! You could get Monitor 11's instead of the 5's and have a quality sound way beyond anything Bose could do! It might be...

    Stand for JVC HD-61FN97

    After much research I am getting really close to pulling the trigger on a JVC HD-61FN97 HDTV, but I don't want to spend a lot on the stand. I've seen stands for $400+, but that's just too much! Around $150 to $300 would be acceptable. I've tried searching this site and others, but I can't find...
