    Should I consider a Front Projector?

    That is exactly what I use mine FP for. I have a 10 year old 36 inch tv for most tv and kid movie watching. When its time for me to watch a movie I pull down a screen and watch it from my ceiling mounted projector. We are rather limited in size in this room so the diagonal measurement of the...

    Looking for a component rack. $800 Max.

    Check out Audio Advisor and look at the Salamander racks. They are beautiful and are solidly built. Should be within your budget.

    Anybody ever dealed with crazy eddies?

    My one experience with them was positive. About 3 years ago I bought a Denon 3801 for a very low price. They had fast shipping and the item was double boxed as well. The unit performed flawlessly for the last 2 years and i just sold it to a friend who is enjoying it. I know others have had less...

    Quick review on 1080i scaling Liteon LVD2001 DVD Player

    ok I have my 2001 on order from Beach Audio and then after reading about the updates I have downloaded the latest firmware.

    MVP Baseball 2003 Worth a Blind Purchase?

    Not sure if you are interested but I would throw out a vote for High Heat 2004. This game is great. It has no batting cursor and the pitcher/batter interface is outstanding. The graphics are a notch below MVP but the realism surpasses all others. You can also tweak it to your liking with the...

    Black Hawk Down: SE

    Tim, Just got done playing with the mission timeline feature. It basically breaks down the entire mission from the point at which they identify the target in the hotel. This is shown in increments as short as 1 minute. They give a short description of the event at the bottom of the screen...

    Pioneer Elite

    I have never compared Sony v. Pioneer Elite but can comment on my recent upgrade from a Denon 3801 to an Elite 45tx...I just hooked up the 45tx yesterday and after 2 years with the Denon, which I loved btw...the Elite blew me away. After hooking up the 45tx I was shocked to see how easy it...

    Anyone ordered form "crazyeddie" before?

    I ordered a Denon 3801 a couple of years back from Crazy Eddies and had no problems. I had read where people had various complaints but those didn't raise their head with me. I bought a 3rd party warranty since they aren't an authorized Denon dealer. Shipping was fast to the other side of the...

    Not sure where this belongs, Im looking for a remote.

    Have had an MX-500 for a yeqar now and love it. It has a pretty good list of pre-programmed codes and for what it doesnt have you can learn any command from your original remote. I can find no faults with this remote.

    Component Video into 15-pin connector - help please

    I recently installed a mounted projector and purchased my rgb-component breakout cable from a2zcables.com. The prices weren't bad and the quality was excellent. I think I paid $90 for a 25 foot cable. Just fyi...if you are putting this thing on a ceiling mount run as many cables as your...

    DVD/VCR combo's with built-in DD Decoder

    Samsung makes a dual unit for $199 at Bestbuy.com....DVD-V2000. I would be reluctant to buy a dual unit and think you would do better to buy decent quality seperates but if this works for you good luck.

    OPTOMA has no component in..Just RGB and S Video

    ViJay, I have a Panasonic 711XU projector that has the RGB or S-Vid inputs. I am running a component to RGB breakout cable from my DVD player. Works like a charm. I bought it from a2zcables.com under video cables and adapters. Stuff is good quality and won't break the bank. Good luck.

    Helping a buddy

    I am trying to get my buddy into home theater and he has set a pretty low budget. He wants to keep things around $600-800 if at all possible. Keeping in mind that he has 3 kids and a non-working wife I feel his pain. I have been looking around online a bit over the last day and think he could...

    Where can I buy really nice audio racks?

    audioadvisor.com I found my rack there. Bought one of the Salamanders and have not been disappointed. The quality of the rack is outstanding and it looks like a fine piece of furniture. I bought the Synergy Twin S30 in maple/black for roughly $650 and received many compliments on it.

    For anyone who has ever seen any of the David Blaine TV specials or if you just plain enjoy magic/sleight of hand...this is a very entertaining DVD....its a combination of his 3 TV shows that runs almost 2 hours. I am not a huge David Copperfield type of magic fan but this guy simply...
