Thanks for the responses. I've never given this any thought as I don't have a widescreen tv. Someone asked and I told them I knew where to find the answer. B

Just wondering, with a 16:9 television where do the subtitles appear on a 1.85:1 movie? In the frame itself or down in the black bar. I'm guessing frame but wanted to make sure... Thanks. B

Thanks Marc. We'll look into it.

Hi. A friend just purchased a new projector (don't know model). He said that he's heard that you can buy a special brand of paint and paint your wall to use as your screen. Has anyone ever heard of this? Or was he getting fed a line? Thanks.

I think I found the answer. But thanks to all that chimed in and offered their opinion.

Pioneer DV-47Ai (u.s. dvd/dvd-a/sacd player) and Pioneer DV-747A (u.k. dvd/dvd-a/sacd player). Are these the same players? Thanks.

A little off topic, but... for those of you that have the 47Ai, are any of you using a philips pronto or marantz touch screen remote? If you are could you shoot me an email? Thanks. Brad

John, If you hook up an s-video input is the corresponding composite input disabled or are ALL the composite inputs for the entire receiver disabled? Just wondering. Brad

Thanks for the responses. I'm concerned because the room is being done for a firehouse, and the room is not the optimal layout/size for a hometheater. The room is 17' wide and 25' long...but the back wall is only 11' and the left wall is really a walk way/hallway with a lot of traffic. That's...

Thanks Jim. I guess I'm concerned because I've always heard that regardless of the quality of an in-wall/ceiling speaker you can't come close to the quality of a bookshelf etc. type speaker. Brad

anyone using the B&W CCM65 or CCM80 in wall/ceiling speakers? if so, how are they and how would they compare to say a B&W 602 as surround speakers. thanks Brad

thanks Neil. If you happen to remember the manufacturer please let me know.

We've not placed the right speaker, simply because of the concern with the left. The ceiling is 9'. We've not purchased the speakers but were looking at direct radiating bookshelf speakers. thanks

I'm with a buddy on friday at a local shop talking about speakers that we're trying to install in a firehouse. Because of the shape of the room, we have some limitations on the surround speakers. If we have open space in the area of the left surround what would be the preferred method for...

I'm looking for a pair of Kenwood LS-X1F speakers. Does anyone know of a place to look for these? From what I understand they're a few years old. Thanks. Brad

Hello all- I have a Pioneer DV-525. I purchased it right after they came out (3 or so years ago). I've noticed in the last few discs I've watched a lot of artifacts (jaggies), etc. Do average DVD players have a shelf life? How do you know if one is going bad or if you've just encountered a few...

Thanks Scott.

Michael - I think that's what I'm saying. Digital Cable is only digital through the transmission. Once it gets to the cable box in your house it's converted to an analog signal. Ultimately I could care less about digital cable, my real question was about HDTV. If I have an HDTV (no set top...

I was reading an article this weekend in the current issue of 'Home Theater' magazine and in a review of the Marantz SR8200 receiver the author (Mark Fleischmann)alluded to the fact that Dolby Digital-EX does not contain a discrete sixth channel, and that DTS-ES comes in two main "flavors"...

Just curious, Correct me if I'm wrong...but when watching Digital Cable on a regular tv you're not watching a true digital signal. Correct? I'm assuming the signal is only digital through the transmission to your home, regular tv's are not capable of displaying a digital signal. Okay, when...

Sorry if this has been asked and answered, but... I have the both the original dvd and the new se. On the se did they reproduce the chat with Christopher Nolan that appears on the original. If so, I can't find it. And if they didn't, why not? Thanks. Brad

Nicolas, what caused you to go with the Rotel. I noticed you live in Flower Mound, where did you purchase your Rotel? Brad

Hi, I currently have a denon 3300 and am thinking about adding a seperate amp as I move towards seperates. Any opinions on the rotel rmb 1095? Which amps would be comparable in price and performance? Thanks, Brad

Hello- What are the native resolutions for: TV (OTA Broadcasts) VHS S-VHS DVD (non-progressive) Thanks. Brad

What is the best way to determine the proper viewing distance based on the size of your rptv? Thanks. Brad
