I've been on an Import buying binge on overseas sales - La Haine, Arizona Dream, Renaissance , The Island, 3 Days of the Condor, Brothers Grimm, Tideland, Parfum & Death Sentence from Amazon Germany for $128 shipped. First Blood, Rambo III, Leaving Las Vegas, Inside Man & Red Dragon from...

I just bought a refurb XA2 to add to my A35, and just put in a pre-order for "There Will be Blood" at Amazon. Also have The Kite Runner, Beowulf & Into the Wild on pre-order. Although I pretty much own all the existing releases I want, I might pick up a few more at bargain basement prices.

I thought there was some USB device that enabled IR remotes to work on the PS3?

That drives me nuts! I have my BD-30 right next to my A35, and the A35 has the open/close button on the left, right next to the tray. So I'm forever hitting the SD logo on top of the BD-30 and waiting for something to happen. :haha I do like extras, features, gadgets, gizmos, etc., and have...

Wow! Way cool! :cool: My BD-30 is barely 2 months old, and already outdated. :( I think I'll wait for BD Profile 10.1 before I buy another player. :mad:

Last: Pan's Labyrinth - Amazing PQ & DTS MA 7.1 audio (Spanish with English subs) Next: The Kingdom

I have my fingers crossed. I sent them an message that I would upgrade to Prime if they could confirm they would extend this deal for 2008. Received a response thanking me, and it was forwarded to the "decision making person". It's worked at least half a dozen times for me now on BOGOs, both...

FW 1.3 posted on Panny's web site today, and extra gift from Santa? :p Date/Version Description 2007/12/25 Ver 1.3 1. BD-V Playability Hmm, with the first BD1.1 PiP titles coming out in early January (3:10 to Yuma, War, etc.) I suspect Panasonic has been doing dome...

On my system and to my ears, I much prefer my receiver doing the decoding. To me it makes sense that these HDMI 1.3 receivers are optimized for TrueHD & DTS MA playback, whereas the players are designed to do a lot of things (read discs, process audio & video, mix both for PiP, etc.) for the...

Yes, the Sonly player will read the uncompressed PCM off the Disney titles and send it to the 605, which will show it as multi-channel - and it will sound terrific. And I'm pretty sure almost all BD titles with TrueHD also have an uncompressed audio track that can be selected.

Looking at the equipment in your sig - You can't with the Sony S300, it' can't decode TrueHD (or DTS MA on Fox titles), nor bitstream. The PS3 can decode TrueHD & send the resulting PCM to the receiver. The PS3 cannot bitstream. The A30 can decode TrueHD on the player, it will send the...

Do you have your player connected to the internet and downloading the web content when the disc is inserted? If so, se my post #3 in this thread about clearing out persistent memory. After I cleared my memory, mine played flawlessly. A35, FW 1.3, 1080i video output, TrueHD audio via bitstream.

I have The Contract. I can see why it wasn't nominated for any Oscars - even though it stars Morgan Freeman & John Cusack - but not a bad movie, and good PQ. Looks like Warner Home Video online store is back up to snuff - my Blade Runner Collector's Edition showed up on my doorstep...

Once I got it to play, it played through w/o a hitch; TrueHD bitstreamed, 1080i video. But I kept getting "System Error" on the TV & "No Play" on the LED when I first tried to play it. But I've been doing a lot of web features lately - downloaded a bunch of trailers through Evan Almighty and...

Yeah, if you go to - Wal-Mart Holiday and click on the A3 deal, it shows the details for the $198 A2 w/ 10 free. "Both A3 and A2 not available at all stores"

That A3 deal is for 2 pack-ins inside the box (300 & Bourne Identity) +5 free in store (any title in stock under $30), and the 5 free mail-in rebate. WM is also offering the A2 for $198 with 10 free HD DVDs -5 free in store under $30, plus the 5 free mail-in rebate

Yeah, Amazon is now showing their Trilogy pack as releasing on DEc. 13, while Ultimatum by itself releasing 12/11. In looking at Amazon sales ratings, the Trilogy has been out selling Ultimatum, so they're probably giving themselves some extra time to pack & ship. Are you using Free Shipping...

They need to get more creative. The code for November - NVBM- was in a "Happy birthday" email they sent me. So, I'm thinking "No Vember Birthday Month" . . . . hmmm, I wonder if December could be "De Cember Birthday Month"? DCBM it is - I tried it and it works. :p

Josh Zyber answered this for me on Highdefdigest. He says that when TrueHD audio is provided on Blu-ray, the disc also has a "hidden" DD5.1 track that can't be selected from the menu. But when TrueHD audio is selected from the disk on a player that can't decode it internally, it defaults to the...

On the disc itself. When you put in a Disney BD and just press "Play", they normally default to the DD track included on the disc. You have to go into the discs Setup Options, Audio, and select the PCM option. That you're seeing your Onkyo receiver display "Dolby Digital" or "Dolby TrueHD"...

The Italian Job blu-ray only has a DD 5.1 audio track. The HD DVD version has DD Plus. Warner and Paramount (back when they were releasing on BD) often used DD+ or TrueHD on the HD DVD release but only DD 5.1 on the BD, giving as a reason that it was because DD+ & TrueHD decoding is optional for...

Well, Fox seems to be on a roll here. How is the PQ on DH2? I was holding off on buying the collection until I saw reviews for DH1-3, and HighdefDigest gave 1 & 2 pretty mediocre reviews for PQ. But, the killer for me is the PG-13 only version of Live Free or Die Hard, while the standard DVD...

I know the DTS core can be extracted from DTS HD & MA, enabling studios to provide the one DST-HD MA audio track, from which DTS-HD or DTS 'core" can be extracted, depending on the player and audio output connection. But I thought neither DD nor DD+ can be extracted from TrueHD. While would...

Yes, I can verify the BD-30 bitstreams both TrueHD and DTS Master Audio to my Onkyo receiver. But, do you know the story if it can decode TrueHD internally? Not really important to me, I'd rather have bitstream to my receiver, but having a debate on another site. To test it, I played the 5th...
