What??????

I will keep that in mind next time I am over that way (don't hold your breath waiting). I am currently residing in Ontario. :D

Just for future reference, film mode is displaying movie content at it's native 24 frames per second. Or any integer multiple of that frequency. On my TV set I can select 48, 60, and 96hz. At 48hz I get a lot of flicker. I have it currently set to 96hz unless someone can tell why I should be...

What is film mode? That's really too bad. I think it was too much over a short period of time. He had wide screen TVs, HD TVs, Blue-ray, HDDVD, then 3D, and now 4K and curvy screens. Never mind the audio. In what? 7 years? 10 years? Consumer electronics are changing way too fast. And the...

Hello Sheep. I remember you from the old days (2005 when I first joined). You were pretty active even back then. :) When I purchased my first serious (all relative I know) setup I went with what at that time was a decent amount of cash for a Klipsch/Paragim 7.1 + Yamaha receiver setup for...

I have heard that comment come up as well. All that is turned off. But I did just read something about 3D tech and how that data is coming to the TV. I am going to set the TV to display 3D at 48Hz (instead of 100 or 120hz). Those other settings are only used if 50Hz or 60Hz fluorescent...

Darn. I only have Despicable Me 2 in 3D. Is it's quality on par with the original?

I prefer the ultra wide 2.35:1 with horizontal black bars. Human vision is much more wide than tall. A wider field of view in a movie feels more natural for me to watch.

Yeah. I totally understand. That's something that I am not going to get into anytime soon. First off it would require a new player, and new receiver, and a new TV. Gaming consoles are not going to display 4K any time soon either. I feel the same with the new curvy screens (which baffles my...

Such as? I can change refresh rate and adjust the 3D effect (-3 to +3). This last value always defaults to off and 0. If I change it to get a sharper image in the foreground then the background gets a lot blurrier.

Thanks for the feedback GranteedEV, Gene, BoredSysAdmin, ImcLoud, and j_garcia. I checked out the links provided and even read a few other articles. I knew about the difference between passive and active. Always thought active was better until I watched a 3D movie on a passive display. I...

I said Gene mentioned it is a failed tech. I thought it was neat to have, but I can't get the TV to display 3D properly all the time due to crosstalk. How is it a hack versus 3D in the theaters? Are not the two technologies the same?

In various youtube videos Gene Dellasala says that 3D is a dead tech for home theater? Why is that? 3D Movies are still coming out. Seems that more new releases are shipping with 3D. Having 3D at home is pretty neat. I don't get headaches like I did at the theater. But the 3D isn't...

When watching 3D movies I notice the images are not exactly lined up. I can see the faint outline of the other image. This is causing me lots of eye strain and gives me a headache. I found out that I can adjust this overlap using the 3D ADJUST feature in the menu of my Panasonic Plasma. But...

No. I did no such comparisons. I just went out and bought the Panny because of the high praise it was getting in all the reviews/shootouts. And how would one compare plasma displays? Many specs and/or features are given fancy names or numbers as a marketing manoeuver and can't be used to...

So. I contacted the speaker manufacturer (Paradigm) to find out if they sell re-coning kits. I figured I should find out before completely destroying the driver. They do not. So I am not taking it apart. It's of some use right now since it kind of works. I took the whole speaker in for...

Thanks for all the feedback guys. I will take the speaker apart this weekend and post pictures. I just watched a video on youtube. Looks very simple.

Hi TLS Guy. The speaker in question is a Paradigm ADP-470 v3. All my Paradigm's are over 7 years old. From your description this sounds like normal wear are tear. I can find out if Paradigm will sell the parts to me. I do know that they do driver repairs, but it is not much cheaper than...

Thanks for the slap upside the head (ie: smarten me up) TLS Guy. I should have done that in the first place. So, I did just as you suggested and the error went with the speaker. Now I know my driver is in fact busted. Only on the low end. So not always apparent. A replacement driver is...

If possible, then it could only be done when the system is on. I disconnect my equipment when not in use. We've had too many power dips, power outages.
