    Best projector and screen for under $2,000?

    Finishing my HT and last thing I need is a projector (1080P and some kind of verticle/horizontal shift since it's not going to be perfectly centered in the ceiling) with mount (closest to ceiling the better) and a screen in the 100" range (or is that too big for a 10'X14' room?). I've already...

    Above garage HT room.... Very Warm... Need ideas to cool?

    Dave, I have the same problem. I only have to ducts in my bonus room. It's an oven during the summer, but no problems in the winter. You don't happen to know what parts or brands they used to fix that do you? My AC guy hasn't heard of such a thing. Thanks.

    Receiver Recommendations

    Thanks Doc, I didn't care for a menu either; I figure I'll set it up once and forget about it. I'm coming from the RX-V3000. I got mine for $940 shipped 2 day express. Not too bad, can't wait.

    New Yamaha RX-V1800 receiver

    That's the one I want too. I've got the go-ahead, just checking all other options. Thr 1800 seems to meet all my needs w/o some of the options I won't use on the more expensive 3800.

    My SVS sub not working

    Well, if anyone cares, I had it hooked up through the 6 channel sub input and not the one it shoulda been. If that makes sense. I figured it had to be something stupid. Not the 1st time, probably not the last.

    My SVS sub not working

    Thanks for replies. Not sure about the direct or pure mode, but that doesn't sound familiar. There might be something like direct 24hz or something, not sure. Also, I failed to mention I have tried another cable. Basically it was a coax with RCA ends. Same deal. I've tried all the...

    My SVS sub not working

    I've just pulled out my HT equipment from storage now that I've got my HT all set up and ready to go. Anyway, my 25-31pc is an older one (4-5+ years old). It's got the 200W amp (I think). It's like my receiver (Yamaha RX-V3000) isn't recognizing it. The rest of the system sounds excellent. I...

    Major HT progress, and is it too RED????

    My wife is struggling with the red on the walls. It's definetely brighter than it looked on the sample, and I'm not sure the Atlanta Falcons theme is OK for HT. Anyone else have bright red walls?I have flat black on the ceilings, and the base and doors will likely be white and the carpet is a...

    Drywallers cut my sub woofer cable

    Thanks. I talked to my electrician and he said he'd be able to fix. Too bad I'll miss that fancy purple connector.

    Drywallers cut my sub woofer cable

    I'm extrememly upset. I'm finally around to installing the speaker plates and what not, and just noticed that the drywallers cut my 30' expensive subwoofer cable that I ran through the walls in my nearly complete HT. It was cut inside the electrical box on the subwoofer end. It's cut almost all...

    new wiring in existing walls help!!

    Wiring for projector

    Is there such a receiver? If there is, I'll likely get one that can. SO I guess I'll run component and HDMI. I was hoping for a one wire clean solution. Thanks.

    Wiring for projector

    Well, I'm moving along on my theater. http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htf/...d.php?t=246340 I've moved the platform to the other end of the room like I should have done to begin with. Anyway, what all wires do I need to run to the projector (1080P)?. I've already got an outlet there...

    Salt Lake City NBC Affiliate

    Back in the day before channel 30, they would not show the NBC NFL games when the LDS conference was on. Let me tell you, that pissed me off. They haven't been showing SNL for years now.

    Is my theater too small? And other questions.

    Thanks Wes! I think I'm going to end up moving the platform to the other end of the room (duh), not sure why we didn't do that in the 1st place. That way I could run it from end to end. Makes a lot more sense.

    Is my theater too small? And other questions.

    Wes, your theater is awesome (saved to favorites). There's no getting rid of that window. I added a few pics to my gallery on here. I'm in the same state as you, SW corner.

    Is my theater too small? And other questions.

    WOW. Thanks for the reply. THere's no doing away with the platform now, it's secured to the cement floor and the framed walls (guess we could tear it out). I don't have electricity in there now, so that's something I can upgrade before I start. My wife wants in wall speakers, but I really...
