Just recently watched a documentary on TCM about 1939: Hollywood's Golden Year and really enjoyed it. Does anyone know if it's included on any Blu-ray or dvd?

I'm trying to make a theater room, and I have a general placement theory question: If I have a choice, should my "stack" (receiver, blue ray machine, extra amplifier) be placed up front, to the side of the main speakers (about six feet away from the screen), or should the stack be in the back...

Hi, guys (and ladies)! My name is Dean, and it's nice to meet you. Came here due to lack of experience, since this is a whole new territory to me. I was tossing around the idea of setting up a projector, screen, and some speakers in the backyard at the end of the pool opposite from the house...

Hi, I'm new and I collect Blu Rays. Anyways one of my all-time favourite filmmakers Woody Allen has had the luxury of getting his films from his MGM days released through Twilight Time. Sadly I was late to get a Blu Ray of The Purple Rose of Cairo, Crimes and Misdemeanors, Radio Days and...

First off I love this remote. The only thing I haven't been able to figure out is how to add some functions to the activity that's been selected. What I mean is lets say I'm watching a movie. The remote swithes everything and then the controls on the remote work for the DVD player and I still...

Hey guys- I’m a sort of newbie to digital downloads. I’ve been using iTunes for almost as long as it’s been out. Long time. But I never or rarely bought any media on iTunes. I rip my own CDs with iTunes using ALAC. And for TV and movies, I made my own copies from the DVDs and placed them into...

Hello all. Thanks for letting me come play. So I'm going to be wiring a 7.2.4 system. My question is about the subs. I want to in-wall pre-wire 2 separate sub locations for each of my 2 sub feeds off my receiver. I want to do this for placement options. For example I want to wire sub 1 for say...

I bought a Sony x900f 75" TV and hooked it up to my Marantz AV7704 via the x900f HDMI 3/ARC to the Monitor 1 ARC on the AV7704. Unfortunately I only get stereo when I send the signal from the TV to the Sound processor when viewing Netflix. I haven't tried too many other sources on the TV so I am...

Hello, I have an older Denon AVR-1312 receiver that only supports 1080P over HDMI 1.4a. This is good enough for my cable TV service. The Denon is wired to all of my surround speakers and connected to my 4K Ultra HD Vizio TV. I also have a Roku Ultra 4k media streamer. Unfortunately if I...

Hi all, I'm new on this forum. I just purchased my first 4k projector (Sony VPL-VW695ES) and I thought it was odd last night when I watched a 4k movie and between the trailers, I lost video for about 10-15 seconds each time. Audio would play, but there would be a significant delay before the...

I think I received a bootleg copy of The Bob Newhart Show complete series. The discs are 4.2 GB. I emailed Shout and received this response: Hi Steve, That does not sound right. All of our releases are on Dual Layered discs so the size would be closer to 7.8GB. If I had to guess, I'd say...

Hi Thanks for the forum, I have been lurking around and learning many new things. For Christmas we are replacing a serviceable but unremarkable JVC dvd theater-in-a-box 5.1 system. It has done its job, but now time for retirement. I already have purchased an entirely new set up, and most of it...

I don't own any of the western titles as I was happy with my recordings from Encore combined with 16mm transfers. But while watching Mr. Novak I noticed all of the bumpers in and out of commercial were left intact and I know that when Warner finally went back and remastered their one-hour shows...

Simple question, but I haven' been able to get a clear answer from searching. I don't currently have 4K capability in any of my HT components. I'm thinking of adding an Apple TV 4K soon after the holidays, and over the next 18 months upgrading my receiver and my projector to 4K. My question is...

Hi guys, I'm pretty new to this, and was hoping for some advice. I'm having a home built, and the builder is allowing me go in before the walls are closed and run low voltage for a home theater. now, when i say home theater, it's nothing like most of the projects on this forum. it's basically a...

Well I just lost the HDMI output on an A/V Receiver that I recently purchased, following a similar episode on my prior A/V receiver. (Both times involving lightning and loss of power to the residence.) The audio component works just fine, since it is split off before the HDMI output which...

Total Noob here, so please excuse my ignorance. My wife and I purchased/built a home a couple of years ago with a very open concept. Living room, dining room, and kitchen all in about 900 sqft room. We paid for it to be pre-wired for surround sound, but were given no advice beyond that...
