Mike I used a Panasonic RP56 for an intense three days in early Nov. to demonstrate a Seleco HT200DM projector to 8 prospective custom Home Theater dealers.(I'm a rep for Seleco among other things) I wanted the best inexpensive progressive DVD player I could get my hands on to demonstrate the...

John Can't tell how many strands per conductor there are in the 4 conductor 14 Ga. wire, and it doesn't show many of the other specs that might tell you how good it is, but 14 Ga. is plenty beefy enough to go 50 ft, especially for rear speaker applications. It's quite possible that the 4...

Doobu At Home Depot there is a product that comes in 4' by 8' sheets and is 1/2" thick called Sound Board. It costs approx. $7.00 per sheet. It's made of compressed brown fibers and can be cut with a skill saw. Normally it is applied under the sheetrock during construction for excellent...

and again

Around again

Keir The first thing to understand about subwoofer amps is that they are not rated like a receiver. There are no government regulations on how they must be rated. A receiver power rating is specifically regulated as to how it can be advertised. Even so, receiver "spec-manship" is an art in...

Used as demo for two months by store owner at home. Has black faceplate, owner decided to order gold. Awesome sounding receiver! List= $3495 Asking= $2650 including shipping in continental US. As new, in box, with new factory Warranty & store receipt. MTN

Eric I chose an insulated hollow core steel fire door for my HT. The kind you get to use as a back door to the garage. It comes with a magnetic weather strip seal all around and an adjustable threshold seal plate. No brand name but any good door supplier will know what it is. It works like a...

Chris Brian is right! MTN

Sergey Whichever way you go avoid having any light shining directly on the screen, as it will wash out the picture. Also a dimmer is always a good idea. Lutron makes some that are remote controllable (the lowest cost version is called the "Spacer") Track lighting is more versatile because you...

No interest so far Rodney. [Edited last by Mark Nelson on July 29, 2001 at 12:51 AM]

Any interest in this US made receiver with upgradeability and a great price? MTN

Jeremy I can only offer a general piece of info on this but it may help. A good friend of mine who is a widely syndicated consumer electronics editor just got back from the Toshiba press intro of the new line. He said the differences between the old and new lines is phenomenal. He said that...

12 feet is considered about right for a 50" RPTV unless it is one of the best performers. Then you can sit a little closer. I have customers sitting as close as 8 feet away, but they have Toshiba Cinema Series or Pioneer Elite models that have been calibrated correctly and they are watching high...

Rodney Sorry guy, I never attended school in Utah, although I have friends there and have even installed A/V systems in various homes around that great state. As I get older I run into other Mark Nelson clones all the time. There is even a Mark Nelson weatherman on one of our local TV stations...

Unusual situation, but great opportunity. A good friend of mine is the owner of a Home Theater Store where I worked for 4 years. He recently took home a new B&K AVR-307 receiver (black finish)to try out at home. After two months, he liked it so much he ordered himself one with a gold faceplate...

Brian The 5.1 channel inputs on the VSX-26TX are provide for use with an external 5.1 decoder to play special analog or DVD sources. Most people will never use it, but some may have an external processor and want to bypass the internal processor. To our ears, in comparing the Denon 5700 to the...

David S Sounds like you've got yourself the makings of a second career. MTN

David You DOG! You payed what amounts to cost plus taxes. I could not(and would not)ever sell one at that price. However you did it you got one HELLUVA deal. Congratulations! I'm only being slightly hypocritical here since I payed cost for mine, but then again I have to work with this stuff...

David S I've had my 05 for about 5 months now and have not noticed a lip-synch problem at any time. I also have about 4 customers who own them and come in the store to visit regularly. They have reportedly seen no problem either. This player seems to exceed most peoples expectations, including...

Oops

Vince The entire Elite receiver series has both composite and S-video inputs on all A/V inputs as well as on the A/V and monitor outputs. There is no component switching available (Denon has this on their 3300 and 5700 receivers). Elite recievers will not convert S-video to composite or...

Brian: Looking forward to your visit. No need to kiss my feet, just show me the money! Besides, my feet are so dirty it looks like I am wearing socks when actually I'm not. Peter: I bought the 27 for a couple of reasons: 1. I wanted the best that Elite had to offer, but didn't want the touch...

Fred & David S I'm gonna really strike out here. I haven't had the opportunity to check the 525 (or 414) against the Sony, Kenwood or Panasonic units as we don't sell any of those brands, and I haven't had a customer or rep bring one of those brands into the store. Our decision to carry...

David In our store the 2109 doesn't show quite the same picture quality as the 414 or 525. It's slightly less detailed and looks "grainier" than the Pioneers. Also the audio quality is noticeably more flat and less dynamic, even using the digital output. Go figure. It's search functions are...

David S I use my VSX27TX with a DV-05 and the receiver remote seems to perform most DVD functions quite well. Much better than my old VSX-07TX did. The up, down, right, left and enter keys are a refreshing improvement when navigating through DVD special menues. As you know some DVD's require an...

Fred The bass peak level should be set with the main volume control. But first, in the "Channel Level" mode, set the sub to zero reference level and, using the test tone, change the volume on the sub itself until you achieve a volume balance with your other speakers. This will set a receiver...

ALRIGHT TOOOOMMMMM!!!!

Tom Davis Dave (the quickly recovering authority, we hope)is right about the ability of any Elite receiver to do what you asked about. Just go to speaker setup mode and choose: Right & Left fronts= Large Center= your choice Right & Left rears= Large Sub= yes Then choose the desired...
