My Onkyo had this feature, and I was wondering if the Pioneer had something similar: When listening to 5.1 sources on the 7.1 system, the Onkyo could send the surround right sound to the REAR surround right speaker and likewise the surround left sound to the REAR surround left. When...

My 7.1 capable Onkyo had this feature, and I was wondering if other brands had something similar, in particular the new Yamaha 1400/2400. When listening to 5.1 or Dolby surround sources, the Onkyo could send the surround right sound to the rear surround right speaker and likewise the surround...

Is it anamorphic?

PatM, I got a great price from a semi-local dealer, and he's willing to ship. Let me know if you're interested, and I'll send you the contact info.

Oops, double post.

OneCall quoted me a price of $2588. They aren't budging on price since the projector is currently a hot item. They seem tight about everything at the moment. I ordered an Onkyo TX-NR900 receiver from them, and I couldn't get near the deal I made from them on an 898.

I just received an email from OneCall. They have the HS-10 in stock. I already have mine from another dealer but figured others here might be interested.

Neil, I have the projector mounted 145 inches from the screen with the zoom set somewhere in the middle of its range. The projector is even with our sitting position. I was kind of worried we'd be sitting too close, but once we got used to watching such a large screen it hasn't been a...

Parker, Sorry I can't be of help -- I only have it hooked to a progressive scan DVD player at the moment. I did watch a DVD of 17 year old home video that I created. It originated on VHS and some of it had been dubs of dubs. I wasn't expecting much, but it looked pretty good. I also had some...

I just got done watching "The Patriot" tonight on the HS10. The lighting of the film really lends itself to LCD projectors. "The Patriot" looked spectacular.

My HS10 arrived last week and all I can say is WOW! I'm projecting it onto a 90 in. diagonal screen and the colors and size are great. As far as black level, when the image is predominantly bright, blacks look black. When it is predominantly dark, the blacks look dark gray. I plan on doing the...

I forgot to mention -- after painting the screen gray it still looks white unless you put a white piece of paper up on it for comparison.

I think you can get big sheets of MDF. My brother-in-law used to work in a university cabinet shop, and they had it all of the time. The parkland plastic has a great surface, but if you're going to paint it, the surface is then no different than painting a sheet of MDF. I've painted a lot of...

Neil, The closest major city is Salt Lake City. I have family in Seattle -- so that can be considered close as well. Michael, I fired off an email to your source. I recognize you from the "other forum" that doesn't allow this type of discussion. I enjoyed checking out your site...

I placed a preorder for the HS10 in mid November from the closest dealer in my area (3 hour drive). It is now looking like they won't be in before the end of the year. Does anyone know of a dealer, that's willing to ship, that has them in-stock? Thanks.

I did compare the two. I had previously owned the Onkyo 898. I really liked the sound of the Onkyo. The NetTune feature (although I haven't tried it yet) is also a plus. The NetTune software is now available and seems straightforward. I'm just waiting on a long Cat5 cable to hook it to the...

I called Onkyo. They said the Net-Tune software would be ready in a few weeks.

Correction: It has crossover settings of 40/60/80/100/120.

I’ve only had it for a day now, but I listened to it extensively after installation last night. As mentioned earlier, I previously had the 898, which I sold a few months ago. I knew that the 900 was soon to be released so I did some shopping in the meantime. The only other unit that I even...

Yes, I'm wondering if it would be possible to do a DIY SPL meter with the equipment that I have.

I was wondering if a DIY SPL would be possible. I have a studio mic and Behringer mixer that I use to get audio into a Mac using Peak or Deck software for audio mixing. I'm not sure it'd be possible to determine reference levels, but at least all channels would be at the same level. Any...

I'm currently in Seattle visiting family. I'm looking for a dealer that has front projection systems that I can demo, preferably LCD and DLP. I've been to Flat TV in Seattle to see the Piano, Definitive Audio in Bellevue to see the Marantz DLP -- way sweet but out of my budget. Magnolia HiFi...

I went to a local dealer today to further examine the 45TX. I liked what I saw and heard. The only downside: he quoted me $1,800 as he looked it up on the computer in front of him (I couldn't see the screen from where I was standing.) I was quite shocked. What do you think of that? As a...

I was out shopping today and spotted the Pioneer VSX-45TX. I recently sold the Onkyo 898 and am in the market for a new receiver. Was thinking of getting the upcoming Onkyo 900, but the 45TX seems to have everything I want. Does anyone own this unit? What do you think of the sound quality? Do...

Sold.

My brother-in-law's 40 in. 16x9 RPTV whacked-out on him Sunday. Nine days before the warranty ends. The convergence is completely gone, and each R-G-B image seems to have a life of its own. They waiver separately. He called Magnolia, the place where he purchased it, and got the run around...

I have an Onkyo 898 with THX EX, but no Dolby Digital EX. Is THX essentially the same thing, or should I be looking to get something with DD EX? Thanks, Paul

Does Harry Potter contain a 5.1 or 6.1 track? The packaging states DD EX 5.1. I thought EX was 6.1, but maybe they now consider it all-encompassing. Can't wait to hear EX mono or EX 2.0. :)

I originally started this thread and am back for an update. I bought "The Watcher in the Woods" a few days ago. It's an Anchor Bay release and is marked as both DD EX and DTS ES. I had no problem playing the DD EX track. I don't know if it is auto-flagged or not. If it is, then it looks...
