Yeah, any of the discs I've given you over the years.

You only gave me Region 1/A.

We recently had a big fat thunderstorm and I guess I had an electrical surge cuz my TV and BRD are dead.


I bought a new TV (Samsung) and for now am using my old (Region A) BRD , I eventually have to buy a new region free brd player.

But point is my old speakers with the coaxial cable doesnt work with the new annoying smart TV?s. (I wish I could find a dumb tv.) So I had to buy new speaker. They call it a soundbar now. Well there is an audio/video delay with this soundbar. I checked it up online, seems to be a common issue. I tried some of the fixes suggested online but I still don?t think it?s perfect.

Ugh the new smart world is annoying

Absolutely. Region-free is the way to go. Once you make the switch, you'll never go back.

Hehehe, just yankin' yer chain. I know you were an early adopter.

Sorry to hear about your electronic woes. We seem not to have had a surge up here in Westchester; we came back from vacation and all our equipment is working fine. All our troubles are automotive . . . .

Two years ago a friend gave me a 55" flat screen TV that had been on the wall when he bought his place, as he had a larger TV installed; I was replacing my 2004-model 47" rear projection TV.

Once I transported this 100 miles and got a stand for it, I set it up and there was no sound.  It turned out that the original installer had removes the TV's underscreen speakers and had set up to a soundbar, which was included.  I didn't have such soundbar or speakers as the rear projection TV had really big, good speakers so I had no sound.  So I went out and bought a small pair of speakers, that works fine.

It's bad enough that I have a separate remote for FireStick, DVR, etc.....
