Coverage and how to read this overview
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

From what I have heard in the audio community, it is 1-2 years out still. Sorry!

That sucks, as they were saying the same a year ago. Thanks anyhow.

What would hold them up for such a long time in the U.S.? All Dolby formats are universal aren't they? Can you just order from Japan?

The new HD DVD's will require a completely new type of laser mechanism, i.e.- new HD/DVD player. Right now there are 2 HD formats that are being decided on. Which will win out is any one's guess.

Oh great....after I just bought a new Denon CD/DVD player!

Like Fro said, there are two competing formats, and they don't want a repeat of the Beta vs VHS competition several decades ago. You can get a multiplier, though, and you can get a good approximation of the HD picture from a DVD. Most high end systems will have this built in at the monitor/projector end. There is also a Sony product line of DVD's called Superbit, where they reportedly pack more data into the DVD, resulting in better quality. I find that it is better than standard DVD.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
