I am doing the exact same thing as I write this note! :) Anyway, I hooked up the PC and HDTV via S-video and it looks horrible. I have tried tweaking the screen/display settings of the PC, but to no avail. What I am noticing on my Toshiba 42inch HDTV is that the center of the screen looks...

Hello all, I have a Toshiba SD-3750. It's a great unit and hasn't given me any trouble until I bought the OSU National Champions DVD. It plays the video, but doesn't play any sound. All other DVD's appear to play just fine. The one thing that I noticed is that when the OSU DVD is in the DVD...

Hi All, What do you guys recommend for outdoor speakers? I'd like to get a pair of the speakers that look like rocks in the landscape, but I don't know much about them. Any recommendations?

Ok, thanks to your help, I have narrowed my decision down to these 2 receivers. I just wanted to get your last minute thoughts regarding these 2 receivers so that I can pick one of them. I am running PolkRM6005's, in a 14X16 room, with a 47' HDTV. Any thoughts based on your experience?

Anyone know the difference between the two? I browsed the features etc and they look the same. IS the 601 worth the extra money?

Well, not really. This is a brand new setup. I don't have anything connected together yet. As a matter of fact, the speakers are still in their boxes. I'm waiting to get the receiver then set everything up. Will the CVS be useful for a beginner? How will I set it up?

Thanks guys, that helps! I can see whay that would be a useful option. I think I'll opt for the Onkyo 601 rather than the HK225

Yea, I'm asking what it means. You say that it allows video sources to switch to component video. What does that mean exactly?

Hey guys, Can someone put that into something I can understand?! :) I am considering a new receiver and based on your feedback (thanks!) I am now considering stepping up to get CVS capabilities. I have an x-box, dvd player, and Toshiba widescreen HDTV. I will be running Polk RM6005's...

Anyone else????

Hello all, I'm looking to get a new surround receiver and I'm leaning towards the HK line. The AVR-125 is easily in my budget and I think would suit my room (14X14) and speakers (Polk RM6005) just fine. BUT (there's always a BUT!) everyone on this board seems really high on the 325. Is there...

$400?

bump Any ideas!

How do you add the xbox live graphic to your signature?

************ I posted this in the speaker area, but this is porbably the better place for it. Sorry for the double post.******************* Ok, I need some help. I have a small room that I am setting up a home theater in. The room is about 13 X 16. We just purchased a 42" widescreen...

It figures that it's something that simple! :P I'll give that a try. Thanks for the tip.

I can hear other people, but they can't hear me. If I play some other game (Whacked etc.) everyone else can hear me. Is there a setting that I need to change? I'm new to GR, so please be specific. Thanks!

Ok, I need some help. I have a small room that I am setting up a home theater in. The room is about 13 X 16. We just purchased a 42" widescreen Toshiba HDTV. Now I need speakers. I have been leaning towards a component system rather than a HTiB, but I'd like your opinions. I'm...

In other words, What type of movies do I buy so that there is no adjusting to be done? So far I have tried Monsters Inc and Behind Enemy Lines and they both needed some sort of zooming done. The Behind Enemy Lines says that it is Anamorphic...ummm OK, I give...what the heck does that mean?

Has there been a definitive answer on this yet?

The TV will be delivered tomorrow. Got it at Best Buy for $1399 and free shipping. Not a bad deal, plus I get it quickly. I just bought it last night and get it tomorrow, not too shabby. So, what do I need to do to this bad boy to get it optimized? I am only hooking up a DVD player initially...

So how does this sound... A 16:9 set, try to buy/rent 'enhanced' DVD's, use the strecth modes on the DVD player if necessary, turn the contrast down a bit, and stretch regular cable/TV broadcasts. Does this basically sum it up? This should allow me to watch DVD's (in the best picture...

First let me say that I really appreciate the help. At this point I'm leaning toward the Toshiba 16:9 and stretching regular TV. I probably won't even notice it being stretched. The only way I really noticed in the store is when 2 TV's were side by side - one stretched and one not. That won't...

OK, I have a question... As I read more and more on this forum, I see that folks still have to 'adjust' their screens for varying types of movie formats. It sounds to me that the widescreen guys have to adjust to fit most movies. So, why buy a widescreen if most of the content doesn't fit...

ALLRIGHT! Now this is why I love this site! RickJ: I'll be sure to check out that site. _Man_: We currently have a 32" Sony Trinitron. It's a great TV. We are very happy with it. It's 5 years old and has never (knock on wood) given us any trouble. The reason for the new TV is because we are...

Do I have cooties or something? I have posted TWO threads on this website in the past month and no one has replied to either one of them. What gives?

Bump-Bump-Bump...Now everybody dance!

Oh man! Where do I start!? Ok, here goes... I am trying to build a budget media room and I have some questions. The room is 12X17 and I'm estimating my eyeball to screen distance to be just around 8 ft. We have standard cable. We could opt for digital, but until this point have had no need...
