Panasonic DMP BD80 player (purchased 2009) with the latest firmware update. (2.64)
Played hundreds of BDs last 4 years w/o issue but, last few months had 4 problems.
2-15-2013: Iron Man 2, USED freeze & skip in 2 spots, repeatable. Small marks scratches. Replacement disc played perfectly...
My Mirage OS-3 CC speaker has failed for the fourth time. Speaker handles 10-175 Watts, 3/4” Titanium hybrid (3” mid + 2x 4.5 woofers) AVR is Pioneer Elite Sc05: 140 Watts/ch with all 5 channels driven 20-20KHz. Use 12AWG Enhanced Loud Oxygen-Free Copper Speaker Wire Cable from monoprice & have...
TV, AVR or possibly DVR? Occasionally the right 1/3 of the TV picture goes completely black! Turning off the entire system (Harmony Remote) & back on always fixes the problem. I has assumed it was my Cox DVR since it typically happened when using the info button & scrolling...
Had my SC 05 for over 1 year & I now think it never worked right. Just got off the phone with Pioneer & they say I have the settings correct. When I play a BD with DTS HD MA 5.1 the display has always shown “DTS.” I just discovered the display should have shown “DTS HD MSTR.” So...
I wish to order "Let the Right One In [Blu-ray] (2008)" But, I only want it if it the edition that has the corrected subtitles. The back should say "English (Theatrical)" as opposed to the old version that only says "English." Some people have said they have contacted Amazon & were assured that...
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles Blu Ray No chapter menu for both Season 1 & Season 2 Is there some trick to getting a chapter menu? It seems designed to force you to watch an entire disc in one sitting as if it were a movie. I love the series but, I don’t have time to watch 4-5 episodes...
Thursday - Sunday sale.
If you don't want to wait in line for 5AM Friday & hopefully get a ticket to buy it in store & probably find that it will be sold out. Yes, you will need to pay $2.49 S&H but, it is still a great deal & you need not go anywhere.
Many other BDs on sale for $7.99 & $9.99...
I own many hundreds of DVDs but less that 10 BDs so far. I bought a few at Wal-Mart for $10.00 & got a few used on Amazon Marketplace & Blockbuster. Blockbuster had a sale for 2 for $25.00. Turns out they don't have the 2nd disc on most. I picked up Dark Knight & they had 2 discs rather than...
I had read about 6 Ave having promotions in the past where you can "set your own price" as with Priceline. I looked & they don't have this now. They do have a price alert. "Notify me when the price of item X drops to $xyz." They list the Pioneer SC 05 at full 1799.99 list price & In store...
I recently upgraded my Home Theater, (New TV, 5.1 Speakers, HD DVR & BD player) Room size approx. 400 sq. Feet with high (12-17 foot) vaulted ceiling. Prior to this upgrade I used the same AVR & had 2.1 sound. (I demoted my L&R speakers to Surround status with the upgrade) My Pioneer...
I currently have a 2003 model A/V receiver. The Pioneer VSX-D912 (specs below.) I am rearranging the room soon to have true Home Theater. I will upgrade plasma TV from 42” EDTV to 65” HDTV, upgrade DVD to Blu-Ray, upgrade from 2.1 to 5.1 sound & upgrade regular analog to HD digital Cox...
I plan to rearrange my room & upgrade my home theater. Currently, I must sit 12-13 feet away from the screen. Panasonic 42” Plasma EDTV (TH 42PA20). I think the resolution is 480p for EDTV & 480i for SDTV. I know HDTV is either 720 or 1080 i or p. I watch Standard (analog) Cable TV & Anamorphic...
