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
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...
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...
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...
The Game - R2-PAL - UPC: 3259190361690 You didn't mention these, but I found them (I'm doing what you are doing): Lake Placid - R2-PAL - UPC: 5039036004879 Armageddon - R2-PAL - UPC: 5017188883146 The following site helped: http://www.dvdcompare.net/comparisons/search.php Pete
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...
I applied a hack, thanks to a fellow member, and now my DVD player plays all regions. HomeTheaterForum comes through for me again! Trade not necessary. Pete
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...
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...
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.
Toshiba HD-XA1 for $449? Done deal! Thank you ValueElectronics! And curse you, GlennH - you cost me money! :laugh: Can't wait for my HD-XA1 to arrive! Pete
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
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
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
