Thanks for helping me out. Now that I've got a better job and a few bucks, I get to upgrade a few things. Right now, I'm focused on speakers. The room is 16 X 16. I currently have a Denon 1803 Receiver, with Denon 1805 DVD changer, Pioneer LD, Panasonic VCR, and HP EN5000 Digital Media...

Here's an article on some home theaters in the Philly area, for those who like to read such things: http://www.philly.com/mld/inquirer/l...gn/8222261.htm There's a couple of side articles on furniture and dealers also. Bob

I am always amazed on the quality of responses on this section of the HTF. My question is this--how does one go about to learn the type of information that is given on this forum. For example, if you wanted to learn about electrical wiring, you could buy and study books, take classes, help...

My next project will probably be a "Digital Media Server"--a dedicated box that will have lots and lots of storage. Since this is all it will do, what would the professionals at the Home Theater Forum suggest? It will house about: 1500 CDs worth of ripped music music videos a few DiVX...

I have been ripping all my CDs to my hard drive, and was trying to find the right way to be able to play them on my HT system. I really wanted an AudioTron, but they were too expensive for my budget. I played around with an old Pentium 400 as a kind of HTPC, but finding and using a remote...

I know you guys will appreciate this, since no one out here in the stix does. I just got a new receiver! Yeah! I get to replace my old Technics SA-R477 (Dolby Surround, not even Pro-Logic). I even got a Denon no less! AVR-1803, not top of the line, but more than I can imagine I'll even...

I thought I knew the answer, but alas, my brain isn't cooperating. I finally ordered a new receiver today to replace my old Technics Dolby Surround(circa 1988!) with a Denon AVR-883. I'm taking inventory of the cables I have, and once I have the answer to the following question, then I can...

A la DTS or Dolby Digital? Is best decoding for LD players in DPL II via a digital output or the analog outputs? For example, Raiders of the Lost Ark (digital audio track). I would assume the issue is moot if the LD only has an analog audio track? Or, is this a function of the...

Thanks for reading. This is the first time I've had a problem with a brand new electronic gadget, and I've been buying for 20 years. Anyway, since I moved from Philly to the stix of Western PA, electronics dealers are few and far between, so I bought this DVD player off of ebay for a half way...

I really thought I would know what to get when I finally got a house. The time is coming in June, and after reading this board for a while, I am on the fence. The eternal question? Dish or DirecTV? Don't need any sports channels, HDTV, or PPV, so the programming costs about the same...

Generally, I am very happy with WinXP. I installed it Dec. 1 and it hasn't frozen or crashed yet (unlike Win98 that did several times a DAY). However, are there cures yet for these annoyances? Did I miss a box or radio button somewhere? 1. Autohide on the taskbar. When using IE in full...
