rptipom, I'll give you another head banging experience. For a couple of weeks, I have been disappointed with the output from my VS sub. The punch was missing. Using the receiver, turning it up a few db didn't seem to help. Then I tried moving it around a bit in the corner it sits in. Still no improvement. Couple of days later, I decided to see if the amp on the sub was warm. THAT'S when I noticed the "power" light wasn't on. Some quick checking showed the plug going into the sub was loose and explained why I wasn't being shaken. Sometimes it's hard being me. 
A little remedial plug work and pictures are once again tilting on the walls.

The plug???? It's so nice to see it's not just me. I am continually amazed at reading about the "stupid" things that are done....and even more amazed when I realize that I do the same "stupid" things!!!!
Gotta love it!

Ray, OK fine. After 6/25 when I officially start looking for a new job, I will also create some personal growth goals. One will be to aspire to your lofty position as "The King"

rotipom-
YES, i think the movies with DTS, sound much better than the ones with dolby digital. it is a much more enveloping sound stage, and is usually mixed better. not that DD is bad, but DTS is just better.

You need to look at the new Samsung DVD-HD941 that is coming out. The specs on this puppy are amazing, and I feel it is leading the HDMI, HDDVD, and DCDi revolution. Don't bother with players that are trying to do Himat or WM9 Format. Also, based on your system, I wouldn't spend the money on a high end name brand system, because you will not get as much technology out of it, and you probably will not get better performance out of it. You can find this product on Amazon for $299. It comes out on September 30th. Don't bother with the HD931 because it had a lot of problems. If you want a carousel, then I would go with the Onkyo DV-CP802, for $499. This is a great system for the price. Good luck!
