hardwood floors in an old apartment, which means they're not as level as I'd like them to be. Right now, we just have cats, but I'm trying to sort of think ahead on this purchase. I'm concerned mostly because the setup in my living room is such that one tower will be near the only door in...

I've been looking around to upgrade my speakers. This may be the first of many posts, but you guys have never steered me wrong. I haven't heard the rockets yet, but they get good reviews and the form factor is nice. I have to account for WAF in making this purchase. My question, however is not...

HD on a 720p projector is fantastic. I have a Z4 and I get Comcast HD cable stations. I watch a lot of bad programming (hear that, INHD?) just because it looks so good on the pj in HD.

The main issue with the pj is light control and type of viewing. That said, I have a 27" tv below my pj that I said I was going to use for regular tv viewing, or for when the lights are on. That said, I turn the tube on maybe once or twice a week. The rest of the time, I use the pj, even with...

I've had both in my home and you really can't go wrong with either. I have a Z4 and I love it. I originally bought the Panny and I loved that one too. Unfortunately, the unit I got started exhibiting some pretty severe vertical banding, so I returned it. I asked the dealer to check out the new...

I can speak to lcd only. I recently purchased a Sanyo Z4 and am very happy with it. It is a bit more than the ae900, but you get a free lamp, so it balances out somewhat. If you search around here and on the other forums you'll get a better idea about the relative strenghts and weaknesses of...

I thought my logitech xbox wireless controller (the newer version) was the best thing in the world, until it stopped working. The green led on the reciever just keeps blinking. The led on the controller blinks only when the reciever is not plugged in. I've tried all manner of battery swapping...

Greetings. I lurk around here a lot more than I post. Suffice to say this is the world’s greatest forum. I’m in the market for a new display and I’m leaning heavily toward lcd front projection. I’ve been doing my homework and I’m thinking something in the Sanyo PLV-Z3 or the Panny PT-AE700U...

It's apparently a very elaborate scam. I was approached once back in college (8? years ago). The guys drove right up to me and asked me if I wanted to buy some speakers for a good deal. I can't remember what the story was about them, I think he said he was just the delivery guy and they...

I was just wondering. I stopped by an EBgames at lunch and was told it does not come out until tomorrow. I was told it would be out today by a local gamestore owner. That was Saturday, though, and he could've been mistaken. I checked the Official Playstation Mag. Board, but it is useless. Just...

I liked FFX but it was REALLY linear. Basically you enter one "area" which is more like a level, and move to the next one almost like a platformer. No world map coupled with the fact that you couldn't fly the airship stunk as well. One of the really cool things about the previous games was...

That's pretty much what I expected to hear. I guess I'll keep the game. Thanks for the heads up.

Well, it's time to buy Madden '03 for my PS2. I was just wondering if anyone would be willing to chime in with their experiences selling games to stores for cash or credit. I've never done it before and I imagine they really discount the game, especially a year-old sports title. I'm thinking...

I'd like to place a cooling fan in the back of my receiver. I'm electronically illiterate so I couldn't really understand the threads I found regarding this. The fans I've seen all have a little three prong thingee or just two wires coming out. I don't have a three prong thingee in the back of...

I took an International Intellectual Property Law course a few years back. My recollection of GATT is that it really doesn't have any "teeth." Countries enforce it if they feel like it. I think it will be some time until you see bootlegging stop overseas. In the U.S. we're pro-i.p. rights...

This is probably as good a place as any to bring this up. I've have been looking for some white, 12g speaker wire. I keep hearing that this stuff exists at Home Depot for around 50 cents a foot. Has anyone seen this stuff in the Philly area? All I can ever find is the clear stuff. (WAF issue).

I know there has got to be some threads on this stuff so if anyone knows where/how to look for it tips on that are welcomed as well. I had no luck with the search engine. I was using terms like blurry and blur, so maybe I just need the right term. My grandfather asked me to take a look at...

Todd, I just bought an HTB-544 also. My recollection is that The tweeters are in the middle on all the front speakers. Easy to double check me though, since the grills pull off on the front speakers quite easily(by which I mean left, front and center). They do not come off the rear surrounds...

When I went from a s-video to a component connection, I did not notice any difference in the clarity of the picture. Sometimes, I imagine the color is a little better but I've never actually done a side by side comparison. I have a regular old 27" Panasonic, so maybe it's not noticeable...

Thanks for the reply, I'll let you know how it goes (I'm at work now). It didn't occur to me that the PS2 may need to be set to output the DTS signal. That might explain why it worked with the game and not the DVD. The game developers would have realized the PS2's settings needed to modified...

This may be a question with an abusrdly simple answer but, I've been unable to figure it out. I've had a Kenwood HTB-544 for about a week. The receiver is the Kenwood VR-509. Last night I rented "A.I." and I couldn't get the thing to go into DTS mode. I use a Playstation 2 as a DVD player...

Hello, I've had my Kenwood HTB-544 for about a week. I just picked up an Radio Shack (anyone else hate that place?) Sound meter - $30 on sale right now, incidentally - and I was planning on doing some calibratin'. I am trying to hold off on the Avia dvd for a little bit. I ran the audio test...

Vagrant Story. I played it constantly for five days during an unemployed spell. I took it back and have not touched it since. Still got my spot saved, though.

1. Star Wars Episode I - because it's Star Wars. 2. Matrix - because Star Wars Episode IV is not on DVD yet. 3. Willow - because a lot of people from Star Wars worked on it, and because Episode V is not on DVD yet.

I know this some of this stuff has been addressed before on this forum but I'll tell you what (little) I know. The Kenwood 544 is just the 504 with an upgraded receiver (509) and a better remote. It does not come with a dvd player. I just got mine from Crutchfield last week and, in fact, the...

Thanks, I expected as much. In fact, one of the reasons I asked is I have a decent composite cable which at the time I thought I paid too much for lying around. What about Audio cable? (Sorry if I sound dumb, but I failed to mention this in the other post). The cable I have is actually...

Love this forum. I just set up my Kenwood HTB-544 this weekend. Right now, I'm only running the audio through the reciever. I've been debating running the video through the reciever though it's not really necessary at this time. (BTW, dvd player is a playstation 2 with component...

Don't take this too seriously. I am pretty much a newbie on this forum and I need some help. Some time ago I decided that my Aiwa shelf system just wasn't cutting it anymore. I've been reading all the posts. I've been going to the stores and listening and looking. So after a while I start...

I believe that the McDonald's verdict was significantly reduced. Also, that lady was really badly hurt. What magazine was the Chrysler story in, I'd be curious to read it.
