  1. I have one of the teal ones that I am looking to sell. Not one of the colors listed, but black hardware and one of the rarer Diablo colors. Here is a quick pic (both are for sale) but I can get you more if you have any interest.
  2. If you download a lot of video, you may want to check out the WD TV Live as well. I got one of these a while ago and it is great for taking low quality clips and upconverting them for high def. Then you don't have to burnm the file first. It is great on large, HD files as well. NIN has some high def concerts (the gift) floating around on bit torrrent. That looked great on my TV - better than the HD Net concerts on Sunday. http://www.amazon.com/Western-Digital-Netw...N/dp/B002KKFP9Y
  3. I don't know man. It seems that Techno Viking simnply can not be stopped from dancing: http://www.snotr.com/video/427
  4. Thanks JohnnyB, I will look into the Oppo. I really like the upconverting one I have now. Good price to performance ratio.
  5. Hey, hey, I an't that cheap. I didn't realize the prices on thse came down so much lately. Last time I looked, the price difference was greater. Your receiver has 5.1 analog inputs for the DVD Input section marked on the back of your receiver. Get the DMP-BD80 and connect its multi-channel analog outputs to the multi-channel DVD inputs on your receiver. Use the Panasonic's regular surround outputs, but not the rear surround outputs and then configure the Panasonic for 5.1 output. Also, connect your optical digital link like you did with the Oppo. This will enable you to still use the receiver's internal decoders for regular DVDs and CDs. When playing Blu-rays, switch the Onkyo's audio to the multi-channel input and it'll give you the uncompressed surround sound on the Blu-ray disc. When doing the Blu-ray disc setup for a given title, switch to the best codec available, such as Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD. When it has one of those encoding schemes (and most of them do now), you'll noticed a nice jump in clarity, dynamics, and how enveloping the surround soundfield is. Use the HDMI cables and your Monoprice switcher as before. BTW, Amazon currently has the DMP-BD80 for $178.64 here with free shipping and (unless anything's changed) a 30-day no-hassle money back trial period. Once again, you rule. Thanks for taking the time to lay it all out for me. As I stated in the last post, the prices on these came down a bunch. Asside from the Panasonic, are there others in that price range you would recommend as well?
  6. OK, here goes. I have an Onkyo TX-SR603X receiver and a Monoprice HDX-501 HDMI switcher (probably not the best, but decent bang for the buck). I only use 4 inputs of the 5 available: cable box, XBox, Computer, and DVD. I will be replacing my current Oppo DV-981HD DVD player with the new Blu Ray. Thanks again for your time, it is greatly appreciated.
  7. I have an Onkyo (6.1) receiver (with only 1 HDMI in, I am not sure abou tthe other inputs, sorry) and the Boston Accoustic speaker set that you recommended from Audio Advisor a while ago. The one with the speakers powered by the sub. I have a 5.1 setup right now given it is in a smaller sized room. The 6.1 setup really didn't add anything. This is attached to a Hitachi rear projection HDTV. When I upgrade from this I will likely get a new TV and receiver etc. Which won't be any time soon. That will give me more inputs on the receiver and TV. Thanks again JB. I always appreciate your advice.
  8. I am planning on a new Blu Ray DVD player and I was leaning toward the Panasonics. My TV has only 1 HDMI in, so I use a switcher for the inputs from my computer, DVD, and Xbox. I also run an optical audio out from the DVD to my receiver. I think I get better sound that way. I like this setup because I don’t always have to turn on the receiver to listen to the TV. Given that, do I really need the audio processing of the Panasonic BD-80 or can I just go with the BD-60? Thanks in advance. 60 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16882103416 80 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16882103419
  9. Sirskelt made it to the basement and he liked it. Once I saw Catherine Bach (Daisy Duke) on a plane from FL to Buffalo, going to record a country album at Rick James place. He has a big studio in said basement. When she gets off the plane Rick and his posse were there hitting all over her. It was a funny scene. They all had fur coats on and it was like 60 outside.
