    Sony DVP-NS775 DVD player 16:9 widescreen output to Panasonic TH-42PD25U Plasma

    "What I am imagining is that you are seeing black bars above and below the 1.78:1 frame even in 16x9 Full setting." That is exactly what I'm seeing. I'm disconcerted because I would expect there to be some combination of settings between the 2 components where I would simply see a full width...

    Sony DVP-NS775 DVD player 16:9 widescreen output to Panasonic TH-42PD25U Plasma

    I am having a bit of a conniption fit over the compatibility of the widescreen modes between these 2 components. In the Sony's menu I have it set to 16:9 output. I have been playing the Avia test disc's 1.78:1 test signal to see how the Panasonic formats the image on each of it's aspect ratio...

    Sony DA777ES -VS- DA5ES

    In-Wall Speaker Wire

    I have a question along these lines as well. I am mounting my surrounds on the wall in my living room and will be running the wires under the floor in the basement from one side of the room to the other. The speakers will be mounted about 5-6 feet up on the walls. My only problem is that I...

    Surround speakers for around $300 or less

    I actually was kind of hoping to upgrade to something a little better than Infinity, since I do want to upgrade my mains and center down the road as well... I really kind of want to stick to a speaker similar in shape to the Klipsch RS-3 since I think other designs look kind of awkward on the...

For the new house I am looking to mount the surrounds up on the wall. Because of the design of the...

    having house built, tell me what i need to know about pre wiring

    I am also having a house built and am looking for some banana plug recepticles to mount on wall plates to terminate my 12 AWG in-wall speaker wire. I found some at Home Depot but they seemed a little expensive. About $8 for every set of two plus $1.50 for the wall plate. Does anyone have a...
