This is the newest update from widescreen review, they are having a D-Theater festival on June the 8th and 9th, so it looks like the beginning of june for movies. Sounds like they will be selling them directly from their websites.


"Widescreen Review will be producing the very first D-VHS® D-Theater™ Movie Festival at our office facility in Temecula, California (north of San Diego and southeast of Los Angeles). The venue for the high-definition Movie Festival will be WSR’s Reference Holosonic™ Home Theatre Laboratory, a performance-purposed state-of-the-art home theatre. The WSR HD Movie Festival is scheduled for Saturday and Sunday, June 8 and 9, 2002. The event is open to the public at no charge. Those who RSVP will receive priority admittance. Seating is limited at each session to about 25 people, so you will want to RSVP as soon as possible.


All the particulars of the event are not set, as the home entertainment divisions of the four major studios—Artisan Entertainment, DreamWorks Home Entertainment, 20th Century Fox Home Entertainment, and Universal Studios Home Video—supporting the JVC D-VHS D-Theater prerecorded HD platform, have not finalized their release schedule at the time of this announcement. However, a complete schedule of the event will be posted on two of WSR’s Web sites: www.WidescreenReview.com and www.DVHSMovieGuide.com. Please check periodically for the latest update to the schedule of events over the two-day Movie Festival."

They said in their magazine that they would be carrying D-VHS D-Theater titles for sale when they became available to promote the format so it looks like they will have titles for sale then. I bet their website will have titles available when they are released as well.


Thanks,

Mike

As I posted on another thread, the member forum on the WSR D-VHS site says they expect to begin selling D-Theater tapes in "about a week", and that new releases will be announced each Tuesday (like most DVD and VHS).


Meanwhile, another title has been added to WSR's D-Theater database. Drumroll please. It's another Yes video: Symphonic Live.

I'm itching to get a JVC unit but I just can't pull myself to do it until I see a fair number of titles. Hey then I could have a mid-west DTheater festival!

Please ask the JVC folks why they wont put I link timer recording in the D-VHS decks.


Ask them why they would not analyze the lock glitch tape issue I provided them.


Ask them why they wont respond to why so many folks have seen glitches with the D-theater Demo tape.


I guess the general question is why are all the inputs to them like a salt water diode?

Ask JVC when they plan the US release of HM-DH35000 D-VHS VCR, and the TU-9000 STB/PVR.

 

[h2ofun]

My us 30000 and japan 35000 look and act basically the same.

Minus the d-theater vs bs.
