Thank you. :emoji_thumbsup:

Jim, Actually there was just some confusion, apparently, on what you had replied on regarding my original question, and what I actually meant -- no harm done whatsoever... My original question had to do with ONKYO'S particular menu setting for this "Low Pass Filter of LFE" selection the...

These "Noise Reduction" settings on Sony's LCD and rear projection sets...do they actually work? Perhaps for my cable box's component connections they can eliminate some "noise" from standard broadcasts, but what about, say, with one of the HDMI inputs for high definition Blu ray...

John, I'll give it a go when I can; thanks a bunch... I read on another site that these SXRD sets are just fine running at 100 percent maximum on the PICTURE/CONTRAST control and that my setting of "80" is most likely way too low for the "punch" I'm looking for -- is it true that these...

Sorry for the delay in getting back specifically to you, Aaron... Thank you very much for your input; so, I can rest assured knowing the "KDS-50A2020" SXRD is a 1080p set ACTUALLY OUTPUTTING 1080p from sources set to do so that it's connected to?

John, Do you think that just by switching from Standard to Custom, the picture quality will jump that dramatically? And if I do that, are you suggesting this: -Calibration of contrast, color, sharpness, etc. with a disc, and then... -Under ADVANCED SETTINGS, turn EVERYTHING OFF except...

Wow...I found the exact opposite with the Goodtimes release of this title...from the very opening credits the letters appear to be blotchy and bleeding in the red characters...from there, the opening shot on my display, with Stallone in the streets undercover as the nurse, the image is snowy...

Thanks so much...because of all you guys making this much clearer, I think I understand the whole issue of the Low Pass Filter Onkyo included on these receivers... It's basically a way to filter out a hum that may occur above 80 Hz -- but otherwise, the setting SHOULD be 120 to brickwall all...

Oh, right -- the part when Bennings screams to Nauls to turn his radio down because he was "shot today" -- I remember the Stevie Wonder track playing from his boom box...thanks, Will! :emoji_thumbsup:

Bobby, why stick with standard mode when you are unhapy with it?If you check the site I mentioned there is a long discussion setting up both the 60 and 70" models which explains why they made the decisions that they did. You will find it very informative. Thank You Very Much, John... I...

Interesting...perhaps Bryan Singer or Chris Nolan can explore this at some point...

Since this title was never a big performer for Uni despite the presence of Sylvester Stallone and Rutger Hauer, I'm not sure we'll see an improved edition, at least as far as the music is concerned. This should be one of those titles they consider for a reminting to give the legion of fans...

Thank you, Brent; so, essentially the bottom line is use 120 for that setting, yes?

Thanks so much for your replies, guys; very much appreciated... You know, it's funny...I just don't know where my picture problems are coming from, my Panasonic 'BD10A Blu ray player or the Sony KDS-50A2020; just last night, we rented "No Country For Old Men" on Blu ray, and even at 1080p out...

Thank you for clearing that up, Brent. I suppose I will leave it at 120Hz. You say Jim is talking about the speaker crossover; he says this, though, about the "LPF": "If you have a high quality set of mids, I would recommend setting the subs LPF a little lower, as using 120Hz may make a...

ABSOLUTELY agreed, Travis...the demon -- and approach -- of Schraeder's DOMINION was absolutely not the Pazuzu of Exorcist. And you are 100 percent right...Exorcist III was arguably the best "sequel," "prequel" or "part" of the franchise since the original...it really was an underrated film...

Agreed, wholeheartedly, Terry...I didn't buy the original disc from Warner of the original cut of the film, but I did get Warner's snapper cased "Version You've Never Seen" and while the transfer and audio aren't bad considering the age, etc., it would still benefit from high def/Blu ray...

Was it supposed to be Batman VS. Superman or more like Batman "Meets" Superman?

Hey Jon! Thanks for the info...and so there were even MORE tracks that were rescored on the Universal cut? My G-d...aside from the horrendous pan and scan transfer which is loaded with noise, snow and artifacts, it's amazing that there's even more missing from Universal's release; it's almost...

Indeed...I agree...:emoji_thumbsup: But, there's no word on any release for this title on high def?

Thanks so much Jim... My speakers are bookshelf-sized Polks, the mains a larger set from their "R" series, the R20s, and the rears smaller R15s... Interesting that you suggest going a little lower on the LPF; sometimes it does seem like the bottom end is a bit too boomy out of my Polk...

As a MASSIVE fan of this picture and categorizing it as one of my favorite films of all time and sitting through every incarnation of its home video deliveries, I have to say that I enjoy the CGI additions of Pazuzu on the walls and doors, and the added background score that accompanies certain...

Yes, Ken, technically that's correct; I just meant that SOME form of EXORCIST should come to Blu ray...and was wondering if Warner had any plans to do so. I'm aware of the whole Blatty vs. Friedken fiasco regarding the restored footage and the hoopla that surrounded this picture. :)

LOL...indeed...the original cut should be included, too... Sometimes I wish I would have caved and bought that collection pack from last Halloween, because it included both cuts of the first film, but they were in those awful thin packs and I already owned all the films separately except for...

I caved and bought the GoodTimes version of Universal's NIGHTHAWKS online because it kept the restored Rolling Stones "Brown Sugar" and the other "I'm A Man" track that the widescreen second Universal disc didn't -- and those two tracks, as everyone knows, MAKES that film... But I have to...

Does anyone have any information regarding a Blu ray release from Warner on the original EXORCIST? I would absolutely LOVE a boxed set of the series, like they did this past Halloween for the standard DVDs, but I would settle for the original film -- especially The Version You've Never Seen...

Can anyone possibly assist with this question? I'm just wondering if the Low Pass Filter for LFE setting on the Onkyo 605 should be set to "120Hz" for optimum subwoofer output...

Thank you for the information, Brett. :)

Thanks again, Ed, for your ongoing assistance... I used a "DiscWasher" brand DVD calibration disc, which walked me through the setup for Contrast, Sharpness, Brightness, Color, etc...everything seems right there. I'm just wondering if I AM getting 1080p -- full 1080p -- on this set...

Thanks for all the replies, guys.... Interesting info...so, supposedly, or perhaps not so supposedly, this was a marketing ploy or "gimmick/joke" by Warner? You know, I read somewhere or heard that there was a POSSIBLE exploration of the "Greatest Story Ever Told" tale where Superman would...
