See? With a VCR you just buy it and hook it up. The living room tv is only about 3 years old so I'm guessing it should have decent hookup options. The one in the bedroom is old but it was free so....
I'm looking forward to seeing X-Men on dvd. It is supposed to have the ability to view it with the deleted scenes that I thought, when I was watching them at the end of the video, made the movie even better. Thanks for the tips, I better look at the back of the tv tonight. e -----Original Message----- From: Braver, Ben [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 18, 2002 11:27 AM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: DVD (was: Drink O'Clock!) Erin- You're gonna LOVE the clarity, plus all the "special features" they include on disks like deleted scenes, "making of" documentaries, etc. Re: choosing a player, the important thing IMHO is to check what kind of connections you have on your current tv set, and what kind you're likely to have on a replacement tv if you're getting one soon. Then, make sure the DVD player you get has the same kind. >From worst to best picture quality: (and, generally, older to newer tv's in order) really old tv's have only the coax (screw-on) connectors. don't even know if DVD players support these. next, the RCA jacks - same kind of donut shapes audio connectors use, except the video ones are normally yellow. better, S-Video. Mini jack with 4 tiny holes in the shape of an "A". best, component video. 3 separate wires for video, each RCA style. Enjoy! -Ben -----Original Message----- From: Greenwood, Erin E.

Yippee! I have to go buy a DVD player. Sigh. I'm not stupid (not really) but I find that they make the process of choosing and buying electronics unnecessarily complicated. I just want to be able to watch Buffy. And X-Men. : ) Oh! And its supposed to snow tomorrow. And of course I have an appointment downtown in the morning. Argh. e -----Original Message----- From: Erika L.
