Ako rin kahit after Xmas na ok lang.

Add pa kaya natin Behind Enemy Lines for DTS? Pwede ko pa abot sa yo. The scenes here are very good too and I forgot that I have one cuz it was borrowed by my friend when we were starting this project. One is the air fight scene and the landmine scene (used in demo disk 5).

Blu-Ray, Had a great time with my son watching all three demo discs this weekend.  THere were some navigation problems but they disappeared on second watching.  For sure there were no skipping or freezing which I'd consider more serious.  There were only a few titles that I still don't have.  And because of this demo, I think I just might run to Astro to get some of this, like Flight of The Phoenix, Kung Fu Hustle and Stealth.   The distributors should pay you for promoting those titles.  ;D  At any rate,  thanks for the all the effort for such a mega production value.

Pa PM din po ng pricing nyo. Thanks so much sirs.  :D

Our apologies sir, but the demo disk is not for sale.

It is a non-profit project done by 12 participants who contributed their original DVDs for the project to push through.

I just watched I, Robot last night and had my first experience with DTS 5.1 surround and just like every girl de-virginized was pretty disappointed. :(

I used a WH2 for my rear speakers and wall mounted it to the sides 5 feet(1.5 m) both from the middle, 4 ft. high and about 2 ft. back. Was it the spkr. placement or was it the media. Noticed also that Dolby 5.1 was more discreet for surround effects than the DTS(weird).

Because of my frustration, I leveled the volume of my front L&R Wharfe 8.4 spkrs. to zero because I thought they were flooding my rears and true enough, I was able to sense some surround sound artifacts but was still left wanting.

I will hook the WH2 center tonight as a rear center and test my Seven Platinum ed (6.1 DTS ES) and hope that surround sound isn't overrated.

Bro atomicat10 instead of lowering the volume of the fronts why not increase the level of rear instead although in my opinion rear surround should really be subtle lang and its effect is not always present in all scenes thats why small lang yung commonly used speakers for the rear(ako lang yata yung uto na gumamit ng big bookshelf eh lol).Maybe you can also check the delay settings of your rear from your AVR.Hope this helps.

Ok na sirs, dama ko na surrounds ko, I lowered the position of d rear speakers (at full volume) and the difference was night and day.

Dvd used was The Incredibles this time, ang lupit pala nito for surround effects!
