Star Wars

[admin_exported]

So I finally get my Pioneer today (well if Dixons website is correct I will).

I have no intention of splashing out 200/300 quid on an "tuning engineer", not sure what they are called :S

I heard that Lucas Arts DVDS have a feature that helps calibrate your TV picture - is this true? I might go out and buy Revenge of the Sith now if they do.

Cheers

Lucky you - a superb set!

You're right about the Star Wars discs (among others). What you're after is the THX Optimode feature, and there's more about it here

It's created by THX, called the THX Optimiser, and is on every THX-certified DVD. Click here to find a complete list of THX-certified discs - you may find one you'd like.

I'd hate anyone to have to sit through Revenge of the Sith unless they absolutely had to.

Definitely second Andrew's Revenge Of The Sith comment - definitely use a Pixar disc if you can for your own sanity's sake. Also the Digital Video Essentials DVD has been recommended to me buy quite a few people. It's available for about £15 on Amazon. Mine's on the way.

Shudder! Phantom Flanglinger is one of the very few films I've ever actually walked out of.

And as for Star Wars Episode II: Send in the Clones...

Well I rushed out and bought Revenge of the Sith - not one of my finest purchases - and I cant find the THX Optimiser anywhere on either DVD. An even bigger waste of 20 quid.

It should be under the sound options - the THX logo is on one of the sidebars and you pick up the process from there.

Does anyone know how you get the THX special glasses for the colour tint section in the optimizer?

Cliick the THX logo on the centre of the Options screen on Disc 1 - same menu you use to set up audio and subtitles.
