    what bugs me about LOA on dvd...

    kay. this seriously bugs me. why can't people appreciate what they've got? lawrence fo arabia on dvd looks so spectacular i can't get over it. the only flaw is what's on the original film (i believe richard harris talked about this on the htf) and it's so infrequent that it's only a mild distraction.

    people have become so used to perfet trasfers of new movies that they expect nothing less in a movie that's almost 40 years old. granted, i've been known to complain too... the layer switch on bridge on the river kwai is really obnoxious, but overall the film is so beautiful i have nothing to complain about.

    i just wish people would stop feeling that the world owes them something and learn to appreciate what they've got. no dts on x-men?! who cares.

    just my $0.02.
    Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes.
    That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

    Well, there are alot of flaws in this transfer, and the bigger the screen the more they stand out, so I can see them all (screen is 80" wide)
    The first half hour is the worst.
    HOWEVER I have never and will never complain about this transfer. I'm just glad to have it!
    One of the best in the restoration bizz (Harris) has done the best he could with it...that's good enough for me.

      This transfer will knock your socks off
      by George Bellefontaine
      It's a French film entitled Brotherhood Of The Wolf. It's a very long film( 2 1/2 hours) and it dragged at times, but it didn't matter to me, I was just too busy soaking up this gorgeous transfer. IMO, this transfer is even better than the Fifth Element Superbit. The colors, the deep contrast and the...

      Please help me to understand the transfer function of a bi-pole. (not dipole)

      Please help me to understand the transfer function of a bi-pole.

      In the past I have used the baffle simulator in Jeff B's Response Modeler 2.1 to visualize the transfer function of a dipole based on the the total path length (x dimension) from driver to driver.

      I imagine...

      Something to complain about 802D!
      by gerardhn
      Yes there must something be to complain. Maybe because Iám dutch, hihihi. But why is the black base foot so difficult to clean? It has a course structure, so dry standard cleaning, as I weekly do for the Marlan head, is more cumbersome.

      I've discovered a couple of bugs with 2.1.1. If everyone could plese test to see if it's global and we'll let Rotel know.

      1) Dolby Digital EX limited to one speaker no matter the settings. I'm only getting the left output (CB1 I think) when EX is applied. Doesn't matter if the disc has...

      Upgrade bugs
      by Razvan
      According to a poster on another forum it seems that Onkyo has found "a couple of small bugs in the new firmware related to selecting NO when asked if you have a subwoofer. They were looking into a fix but they weren't sure if would be done right away or with a patch on CD to be sent out later."...
