Q: Will this play in a UK dvd player. Our system is PAL. Thanks
A: There are actually two separate questions here. Our DVDs are region free which means they will play in any DVD player regardless of its region encoding. So, from that standpoint, yes, our DVDs will play in the UK. The other question is regarding the PAL format. Our DVDs, including the Ambient Water Video Aquarium DVD, are in the NTSC format. However, most DVD players sold in the UK are multi-standard, which means they can handle both NTSC and PAL formats.

Q: I know it has loop mode of one scene. If you watch the dvd from start to finish, will it start all over again or will it go to a main menu .I guess what I'm asking is can you loop the entire dvd.
A: Yes, you can loop the entire Ambient Water DVD. You can use the handy "Play All" feature from the main menu or you can run a built-in playlist. Both methods continually loop the contents of the DVD. If you need more customization, build your own playlist, which will also loop.

Q: I have a 130" hdtv/blueray projectorscreen,will this product still fill the whole screen? Thanks
A: Ambient Water can be adjusted to fit either a standard or widescreen shape. If your projector screen fits either of those standard dimensions, then yes, you can make the aquarium scenes fill the whole screen. One thing to note, though, is that with a projector, you won't fill the whole screen if your projector is too close to the projector screen (but you probably already know that).

Q: Will my plasma have screen burn-in from the aquarium?
A: No. Burn-in is caused by leaving the exact same image on the screen for a prolonged period of time. Because the video aquarium scenes are constantly changing, you should not expect to see any negative effects. You can read a much more detailed response to your question in the Technical Support section of our FAQ at www.vat19.com/faq.cfm

Q: The jacket says the images were recorded in HD. Is the disc HD? We are playing it via an HD DVD player, but the picture quality is not as sharp as other HD programming we receive.

Q: Is this an aquarium shot all the time, or does it flip to close-ups?
