just finished our HT and have a slight challenge. I have a Lutron Grafik Eye. Seems that when the lights are turned on, I hear a hum from the speakers. As soon as the lights are turned off, the hum stops. I seem to remember that the electrician did not connect the ground wire from the...
Just hooked up my system - all works and sounds great - but - if I have the system off, then I first hit the power button on the sub, I hear a humm coming out of the sub. Almost sounds like the old grounding humms you used to get from turntables. Any suggestions or insight? Thanks!
Anyone know a good source for sound absorbent curtains? We are building our basement HT and have one window and a stairwell where we'd like to hang a track with curtains to stop some of the sound from going out and up. Thanks!!! Steve
X1 question for you pros. Just got the projector yesterday - no other components yet. A friend brought over a 92" 16:9 Stewart Firehawk screen (I have no white walls in the house!) Picture looks great - checked out Spider Man, Star Wars, but, in 16:9 aspect setting on the X1, the image does...
Thank you Parker. I've been reading your threads re: the X1 with great enthusiasm and respect. Is it true that if you play DVD's thru an HTPC that you get better resolution than thru a DVD Player? Our HT will be used primarily for DVD, X-box and some TV. I was thinking of a 16:9 screen...
Just received my X1 today. Am a newbie to HT. First I must thank all of you pros - your input led me to try the X1. I'm still in construction on the basement for HT, so I hooked up my laptop to the X1 and played in on a lite pink (daughter's) bedroom wall. Played Star Wars and Spider Man...
Gents - I am new to HT and just gearing up to purchase - am very computer proficient. Question for ya's: Do you use the HTPC instead of a DVD player? Or combined with a DVD player? If combined, how is everything hooked up (i.e. what to what) projector, PC, DVD? Appreciate your help Steve
Anyone have a recommendation for a DVD player up to the $1200 range that has Progressive Scan SACD DVD-Audio I will be using this for a new HT so the primary importance of the machine is quality of video image. Appreciate all feedback.
Is there a difference in using S-video connections vs. component video? Does one produce better/worse quality? What are the advantages/disadvantages to either? Steve
Any opinions on Denon AVR-4802R vs. Integra DTR 8.3? Denon is THX Ultra Certified while Integra is DTR Select - any big difference with this? Integra does Composite to S-video conversions and converts composite and S-video to component. This a worthwhile feature. Appreciate all...
I am new to HT. The Infocus folks advised that the X1 is a native 4:3. I'd like to get a 92" diag. screen 16:9 Will there be a problem with this when playing DVD's? HDTV? Appreciate the feedback from all you seasoned vets out there. Also, can someone please explain the difference...
