    Denon 2910 DVD Player needs what format to play wmv files/discs?

    I just became interested in making movies with Windows Movie Maker. When you are through with your movie, it is published to a file on your disc as a wmv file. The Denon 2010 does not recognize the wmv file burnt to disc. Using conversion software I have not been able to get my Denon 2910 to...

    Denon AVR 3806 Remote tutorial/instructions

    I was just upgraded to a Denon AVR 3806 from a Denon AVR 3805. This was due to inability to obtain parts for repair, under warranty, in a timely manner. I had finally learned to use the remote for the 3805 and now I am starting over for the 3806. This remote has poor directions for use. It...

    DLP clay faces

    My latest information on Samsung and clay faces (green/gray color in dark scenes). First, I have had wonderful replies from Samsung. My only problem is that I live on a small Island (Kauai) and they have only one technician here, who tells me he is an Electrical Engineer. He was supposed to...

    Newbie Question re: Denon AVR 3805

    Whoever told you that is crazy. The manual, and therefore the Denon AVR 3805 has a very difficult learning curve. It seems to be well documented that the instruction manual is difficult to understand. I really like mine, but I still cannot understand many of the directions after many months...

    Denon AVR 3805 problems upon reconnection

    Of course, I would not open the AVR. It is still under warranty and there seemed to be no problem even if it did surge/short out, for them to fix it. My only problem was that it took a week for Denon to send me an RMA number. Finally, I can ship it to them. I am sending it to Denon and not...

    Denon AVR 3805 problems upon reconnection

    I disconnected all of my audio/video equipment to paint the wall behind it. I reconnected and had trouble with the AVR, but not the TV or DVD. Tech support suggested resetting the AVR (reinitializing), which puts it back to factory settings and then do a new setup. I no longer could use SVideo...

    A History of Violence

    4 1/2 stars out of 5. Kept my interest. The time past so fast while watching it. I think it does what a movie should do...entertain and make you forget the present while watching it. Even the sound was good.

    Samsung's DNIe

    Thanks for the information. It certainly makes me feel less foolish that I could not find a way to turn it on and off. :) I do not really understand why you found the DNIe so objectionable that you took your Samsung back. When I view the demo, so far I would not turn it off.

    Samsung's DNIe

    Is the DNIe always on automatically? I can turn the demo on and off and I can see the split screen comparison. But when I turn off the demo, I am not sure if the DNIe is always on or do you have to turn it on and off? If so, none of the up or down arrows work to show what you have chosen. I...

    DLP clay faces

    I did a search for this subject, but nothing came up. I remember about 8 months ago, prior to my purchasing my Samsung DLP there was a discussion somewhere regarding clay faces in DVDs and maybe HDMovies on cable when the scene had low lighting. I have finally fine tuned my Samsung TV (yea, I...

    HDTV has Ghost's

    Do you have the TV set for wake up or does it do it all the time at different times? Take a look at your set up.

    HDMI vs Component Video connection-is there a difference

    I thought that one of the tech support people, either for Denon or Samsung, but I am not really sure, stated that component connections usually gives the best picture, and not DVI/HDMI. I have not really tried changing from one to the other, so I can give no input on which is best. Because I...

    Avia or Digital Video Essentials

    I use the Avia. You can definitely go to just the tests. My only problem, especially with the brightness control is that I really don't see the mushrooming of the top block. I keep changing the setting each time I try, but only by a few numbers. Does anyone else have this same problem. I...

    DTS vs Dolby Digital 5.1

    Interesting discussion. I have just purchased several AIX recordings. Some have what they call "stage" listening, which is DTS and also have "audience", which is Dolby 5.1. Using my Denon DVD player, I can switch back and forth. I will tell you that the stage setting (dts) volume is lower...

    NetFlix or Blockbuster online?

    I started using Netflix on a 2 week trial basis. On about ther 3rd selection, after I was told it was shipping, I did not receive it within a week. I reported it as lost and I was shipped my next DVD, which arrived in 2 days. I went to cancel because I finally received the missing DVD after...

    Enter to Win: 3-Play System from Impact Acoustics

    Likes: 1. The colors; red, black and white works for me. Legible 2. The navigation bar on the left, makes it less likely to have to do a search Dislikes: 1. Too busy. I cannot really explain it. 2. Don't like the ad at the top. It is distracting rather than useful or meaningful for me.

    Axiom speakers?

    While I have not heard the Klipsch in my home, I did consider them prior to purchasing the Polks. I am not sure what is meant by the Polks you heard, not being precise. Mine seem to place the surround sound very well and I am more than pleased with my purchase. Pink Floyd's, DSOTM, places the...

    Speaker Break In: Fact or Fiction?

    While the technical information tended to be very technical, it appeared to me to mainly address bass and midrange speakers. Little was stated about tweeters, or did I skip read too much? I found that my Polk Speakers tended to be fairly crisp or bright, at first. Now they have mellowed and I...

    Bonus tracks on DVDA, Goodbye Yellow Brick Road

    Just listened, for the first time, to this Elton John DVDA. It is great! My only problem was I could not get the 4 bonus tracks to play (#18-21). When using the OSD on my TV, and highlighting the bonus songs, it switches to the audio setup . Upon selecting surround, it goes back to Track 1 of...
