  • dvd player

    thats true if you just want to play a dvd. what ive learned from buying cheap electronic components though is that if you ever want to buy say a really nice tv, you have to have a really nice dvd player with component video and 6 channel audio and then you have to have a reciever that can take these things and speakers that can reproduce the sound you want etc etc etc it just goes on and on like this. thats why i just want to buy a really nice expensive dvd player that does everything so when i buy my 40" sony wega tv this summer i dont have to waste another $200 because i didnt get some feature that makes all the difference.

  • dvd player

    last night i rented lotr:rotk and realized that my sound system is lacking a little bit of something.

    i decided it was time for a new dvd player since ive been using my ps2 as my primary player with optical dolby digital pro logic out (gag)

    i want to buy a dvd player with 6 channel output and other nice features but im not sure what i should get. also something else thats important to me is DTS. does my reciever have to be able to decode DTS in order to play it back or if the dvd player decodes it itself is that good enough?

    ive been looking at this one but im not sure...i would rather buy it from a local retailer then online if possible (so best buy, circuit city, etc etc)

    any other recommendations as far as recievers/speakers/technology in general is welcome and appreciated

    - love, duffy

    (btw if you're not really sure or anything just post because i want to go pick it up tonight )

    edit: i just thought of something else too, do you have to have a digital tv to take advantage progressive scanning....can you still use progressive scan dvd players on analog tv's just with the feature disabled?

  • denmark/sweden?

    this question is mostly directed towards mazy since i dont know anyone else that lives in denmark

    whats the deal with this bridge or tunnel or something that linked the 2 countries? i was watching the discovery science channel and all these danish people were getting emotional about not being able to ride the ferry anymore or some shit. help me understand the crazy ways of your culture.

  • because i enjoy stalking

    i did a little shopping around this weekend looking at the prices of slr cameras and ive seen everything from $300 to $7k....what kind of prices should i be looking at considering my current skill level etc? should i go for a digital slr camera or straight 35mm? i really want the flexability of digital but if its going to cost me $500 more and force me to settle for a lower grade camera its not worth it imo.

    *edit : i also want to be able to take practice pictures and get better, which is why im so afraid of film (seeing as how each shot is $, even if you dont want it). you could argue that i shouldn't take a picture if i dont WANT the picture but i dont know.....im so confused HELP ME GOD

  • because i enjoy stalking

    i wanted his opinion and point of view. im new to the entire field of photography so im not quite sure on what websites reviews to trust (seeing as how many of them are most likely getting paid off to promote certain brands, or at least the larger sites)

  • because i enjoy stalking

    if you actually read what i asked chips you would see that i wanted an explaination from him on what it was, not from some 300 page tutorial (like the ones i found on google) that went on and on about old cameras. BUT THANKS FOR THE REFERENCE LOVER

  • because i enjoy stalking

    could you give me a little background on what exactly an slr camera is and what it offers over other cameras? i looked around on google but only found explainations that included about 9 pages about the history of photography (its not that im not interested, its just i dont have the time to sit down and read it atm)

  • because i enjoy stalking

    thats kind of what im looking for. im new to photo(anything) so i need/want a camera that i can pick up and use on the fly but as i get a desire to learn more advanced concepts, i dont have to drop another $600 for the feature. CAN I GET AN AMEN BROTHER?

  • because i enjoy stalking

    im looking into buying a nice digital camera or camcorder

    im kind of torn between which i want because im not sure what i would enjoy more. at first i saw one of those sony mavica cameras and thought they were great. THEN i saw a canon xls1 or whatever and thought it was amazing too. im looking to spend as much as is required, so money is no object (by this i mean less then 3k). i just want to know what camera/camcorder you would all buy if you had the money. and of course if you already have a camera, how you feel about it.
