David...Thank you for responding to my questions. That is a very nice setup you have there. I agree the second row will need to be 5' back from the front as I will have recliners there as you mentioned. I have always had smaller surrounds that I have ceiling mounted in the past. How do most...

I am getting ready to move into a home and I am going to have a dedicated Home Theater room built in the basement. I have plenty of questions and any help you can offer is greatly appreciated. Current equipment consist of an Hitachi Elite 65” HDTV (will eventually be replaced with a front...

Dan, The Hitachis handle 720p. As John said that does nothing for you as far as DVDs are concerned because those are 480i/p. If you are an Xbox player though you might want 720p capability for some of the xbox games that support it. You can get as large as the 65" S500 Series Hitachis...

Nate, I turned all of the enhancements off (edge, black, ...etc) put temperature to standard contrast to mid to low 30s brightness mid 40s color 50 tint center sharpness mid to low 30s I'm hoping to find time to get into the service menu and do some tweaking but for now these...

I have the 65S500 (same thing without the built in HDTV tuner). You can find a lot of info on this tv at avsforum.com. If you adjust the tv correctly I think DVDs look very good

Sure JimSpamoni...the company is www.Soundpros.com They are out of San Diego. So far I have been very impressed with them and would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to buy HT equipment online. They had one of the best prices I found on the Elite 45TX at $760.

I'm sure I will be happy with the reciever. I sure feel teased by getting to listen to it for 5 hours before it's demise. I didn't crank it up to extreme levels at all during the time I had it. The setup turns the volume to -0 for the test tones but other than that it was at pretty normal...

I would have to imagine that it was a faulty power supply since there was no electricity being passed through the unit but who knows. The manufacture date was March 2003. I haven't read of many people having problems with the 45TX and it really sounded good to me so I'm not hesitating at all...

Well I got my Elite 45TX on Wednesday and after setting my home theater speakers up for 7.1 surround sound I finally got to plug my new reciever in and try it out. I ran the auto calibration which is a very nice feature. Played about half of the Gladiator and was amazed at how much better it...

Most of the online dealers are not authorized Pioneer Elite dealers. Pioneer says they will not honor the warranty. I bought mine from Soundpros.com which I dont belive is an authorized dealer but the claim they will back the warranty even if Pioneer doesn't. They are also a member of the Better...

Hi Brad, I ordered my Elite 45TX on Thursday from Soundpro.com. It is scheduled to be delivered this Wednesday by UPS. The price was one of the best I've seen at $760 + shipping. They seem to be a very reputable dealer. They are a member of the Better Business Bureau with no outstanding...

Just ordered an Elite 45TX earlier today for $800 including shipping and should get it on Wednesday.

I just ordererd mine today from Soundpros.com for $760 + $40 for shipping. UPS tracking shows I will get mine on the 21st (6 days) I can't wait!!!!

Thanks for the info everyone! I think I'm going to go ahead and purchase the Elite 45TX. Now I just have to figure out where to buy it from. I was thinking about going with Soundpro.com as they have one of the best prices I've found and I haven't been able to find anything negative about them so...

The Elite 45TX owners manual recommends 8 ohm speakers but it does have the switch for 4 ohm / 8 ohm. The Pioneer 912 manual pretty much cautions against anything lower than 8 ohms. I'm not sure about the Kenwood 6070 as I didn't see any information in thier manual about using anything...
