I went a bit crazy Y'know how US Congress tacks amendments onto bills that are no way related?
I tacked a killer home theater onto my wife's kitchen remodel project :-) 60" tv THX-certified Receiver and DVD player (Dolby Digital 5.1) Bose Acoustimass surround speaker system all Monster Cable wiring filtered AC power looks/sounds awesome when the little red light on the receiver turns on indicating the subwoofer is engaged, you _feel_ the bass. now, all I need is more free time to sit down and enjoy it :-( -Ben -----Original Message----- From: Dan Phillips [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, January 18, 2002 8:38 AM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: DVD (was: Drink O'Clock!) I got my DVD player about 3 years ago. It was quite expensive at $350US but today I could buy the same player for about $150. I love it! Having a Sony Trinitron TV helps too. I also have a surround system, while not Pro-logic, still works just great. I'll never forget the way the walls shook when I first played the THX intro for the first time.

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.
