I forgot about my 2 dts changes (but no change-OVERS here). My main screen requires no changes... runs Dolby!  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.

Yes, I just may be that lazy.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-29-2007 10:22 PM                        1 screen, 1 movie, no difficult choices!  |  IP: Logged Raymond Watson Film Handler Posts: 26 From: Waldron, Arkansas Registered: Feb 2006 posted 08-31-2007 10:09 AM                     same here Mike......... 1 screen, 1 Film, done right.... our customers most difficult choice is nachos or popcorn.  |  IP: Logged Scott Norwood Film God Posts: 8146 From: Boston, MA.

My bosses looked at it (it looked terrific, by the way), but ultimately passed it up due to high maintenance fees (it's also not DCI-compliant).  |  IP: Logged
