Blu-Ray Yeah, but they're going to jack us for a $100 to get the blu-ray I bet. I think it may only be in what they call the "immersion" release, which is loaded with all the other versions of a particular release.

Current favorites Kirk Franklin - Hello Fear (awesome, maybe his best yet) Chris Hillman/Herb Pederson - At Edwards Barn (fantastic harmonizing) Gene Clark - White Light Bruce Cockburn - Small Source of Comfort Foo Fighters - In Your Honor Joe Bonamasoo - Black Rock Jenny Lewis - Acid...

Check Pioneer website for any firmware updates on your player you can download, or call an authorized Pioneer Service Center - they may have encountered the problem already

Reference Recordings Some of the best sounding classic vinyl in my collection: Van Morrison - Moondance Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms Linda Rondstadt - Hasten Down the Wind Little Feat - Sailin Shoes The Band - Stage Fright Poco - Cantamos

U2 Quality Issues With all the unlistenable dreck out there you guys are criticizing U2? No Line was an excellent album by anyone's standards and the two before it were pretty good too.

Albums or Bust I definitely lean about 98% towards taking in the entire album. To me the album is the artistic statement, whereas the song is a fragment of that statement. Even with a greatest hits album I would tend to listen to the entire set rather than picking out one or two tracks...

Carla Bley - Appearing Nightly- great big band live stuff! Carla Bley - The Lost Chords Find Paolu Fresu - smaller combo, very lyrical, cool jazz. Nice. Alejandro Escovedo - Real Animal - gets better every time I listen

Just wondering if anyone has an Integra receiver or amp, and what speakers do you/would you recommend running with it? Thanks, Bruser

Good basics I feel like I've moved my system enough times now that I don't need a manual to hook everything back up. I can do basic calibrations with the Avia disc, but not anything that requires the service menu.:)

Seal You would need a DVD-Audio capable player to listen to the DVD-Audio mix. Are you listening to that or the DDigital or DTS mix also included on that second disc?

Best Titles Check out Lawrence of Arabia - great definition and detail! Spiderman's are pretty good too. Wasn't too impressed with The Patriot, but I need to watch it again.

Integra Player Good to hear about that kind of customer service! I have an Integra DPS 6.5 player, which I think does a very good job with the video on my Sony SXRD TV, even though it doesn't have upconversion. Just curious how the video is on your new 8.5? The three-year warranty was a real...

theads dd problems I bought the entire T. Heads "Brick" package of dual discs, and as I recall, the Yamaha C750 (among others) was one of the players that had problems accessing the DVD Audio tracks. My Integra DPS 6.5 also had problems in the menu area. Once I hit "Play", the player froze up...

good stuff Proto-Kaw, both their new one, "The Wait of Glory" and the earlier "Before Came After". Really enjoying Kerry Livgren's songs and they just seem to be having fun playing music that doesn't fit neatly into any particular category. For the uninitiated, this group is composed mostly...

Best so far I agree totally with your review Clint - this is the best surround release in many a moon. I just think it's all there, dynamics, surrounds, slam - it's got it all. Definitely the highlight of the Brick. Remain in Light was very well done too. Do you like it as well as SIT?

Thanks for the input everyone. Sounds like the Oppo or Panasonic might be the way to go.

Return Policies 1. Mega-important simply because I want some time to audition the equipment in my system. Technology changes so fast, it's impossible to know if a new piece of equipment is compatible with your existing system unless you actually try it out. I want to know I can return it if...

Thanks for the feedback. The DVD's at issue here are 1.78:1 aspect ratio, which is what most concert DVD's are presented in. That ratio gives you a full widescreen. Anyway on my Sony SXRD 50", you get a somewhat soft, unfocused image. One person said I may need to sit further away from the...

Widescreen newbie here. I bought this tv figuring it would look fantastic on DVD's. It does with 2.35: 1 resolution, but not with 1.85:1, as the image is very soft and lacks contrast. Am I missing something here? I'm sitting about 8-1/2 feet from the screen. 1.85 always looked fantastic on...
