When I went to watch The Incredibles the other day there was a section of the disk that held some set up routines for optimum THX viewing. What the heck, I’ll give it a try. The video portion was a piece of cake, but the audio section was a disappointment. My decade old Onkyo receiver has 5:1 Dolby processing, that I have had working in the past, but for some reason now there is no sound at all from the rear surround speakers. No big deal, they aren’t in their ideal placements for that total immersion feeling anyway.
We have a JVC DVD player and we have a JVC TV that are about 5-1/2 years old. JVC used to have a system called Compu-Link that hooked up their electronic components, so that when one did something that effected another setting automatically changed. Whenever we used pop a DVD in, the TV would turn on and change to the video input the DVD was hooked into. Notice I said used? Stopped working the other day. It is no big deal to push a couple buttons, but when you are used to having it easy…
When I hit the Powerball tonight I’ll probably go out and buy one of those all in one box systems. Of course if I actually did win the $71 million I could hire somebody to come in set up a killer media system.
