    Home theater system help

    That's a good thought. Right now, I'm not really in the position to get any crazy home theater system set up. My dad gave me the projector, the speakers (which are pretty nice) and the old AVR (which can't take sound from HDMI and give it to the speakers). So at this point, I agree.. I'm...

    Home theater system help

    Ok, I'm leaning towards the 313 on amazon for about $200. I don't need to connect by bluetooth for any reason. I also have a wireless HDMI screenbeam, which my computer can connect to wirelessly using intel Widi. That way I can watch stuff on my computer wirelessly to my projector. I don't...

    Home theater system help

    The only one of those that I'm semi interested in is HDMI Upconversion (might be nice). I don't need Dolby ProLogic IIz, 2nd zone, or 3D. At this point I'm thinking I'd rather stick with the lower price than go for some of the newer/ better technology. The projector I have is certainly...

    question. What would be the benefit of getting one with internet and/or bluetooth. I'm guessing bluetooth speakers (which I don't have). But what else? Thanks.. I'll have to keep an eye on some of these!

    i'm aware.. I'm hoping its less than $200 though. Do you think that this one is worth paying up to $200 for? (assuming it gets bid that high, and the reserve is below $200). Or do you think if it gets that high I should just go with amazon? Which box is better?

    I asked, and the remote is included. So far its still a low price.. I guess I'll wait and see what happens. If it goes to high, I'll buy the amazon one. Thanks for all your help!

    Primarily the onkyo HT RC160. It has 5 HDMI in ports. Also, my speakers can plug in and I won't need to wire them into the system, like I would on the TX-SR313. As far as I can tell, this should fulfill my needs. I appreciate you looking though! Here's the listing I'm looking at-...

    Home theater system help

    Ok gotcha! ​ Thanks! Like I said, I'm still new to AV stuff so it just took me a little to understand this. I will probably wait to see how high a couple that I"m watching go up to on ebay. If they go to high, I will likely buy the one from amazon. And its on Amazon Prime, so I can get 1 day...

    Home theater system help

    Are you sure that this one will work.. I looked up the manual and it says on page 16-- * If your TV doesn’t support Audio Return Channel (ARC), you need to connect an optical digital cable together with the HDMI cable to the AV receiver. I want to avoid using an optical cable since my...

    Home theater system help

    I'm looking for at least 3 HDMI ports. I don't need compositve or component. Just HDMI in (x3) and HDMI out (x1) and the ability to have audio go to the speakers rather than the HDMI out. I'm definitely trying to keep it under $200. I'm looking at a couple options on ebay right now that...

    Okay, sounds good.. thanks for the help! I'll look around and see what I can find. If anyone has any recommendations, I'm all ears. I'm looking for something cheap, with multiple HDMI inputs. Thanks again!

    So you mean a new box instead of the Onkyo? Do you have any examples or know of what I should look for to see if it has this feature?

    Hello, So I am a beginner when it comes to AV things, but I have an issue I want to see if it is possible to solve. So I have a Onkyo HT-R557 theater box that I am using. Our setup for video goes cable box (HDMI) --> Onkyo box (HDMI) ---> projector. For audio it goes cable box --->...
