I am viewing a Toshiba 50H81 HDTV RPTV. Sources include a progressive scan DVD player, DirecTV HDTV STB, and 3 TiVos. I am running all sources through a Yamaha RX-V1400 receiver to the HD input on the display via one component cable. I have been given a quote by a local ISF calibrator of $750...
I just received 4 Aura Bass Shaker Pros today...I am planning on attaching 2 to my main sofa and 2 to my loveseat. I was planning on using 2 Y-cables to split the LFE signal from my Yamaha RX-V1400. I will use one Y-cable to split the signal to my sub and use the other Y-cable to send a...
I recently purchased a Yamaha RX-V1400 to replace a Kenwood HTIB. I decided to go with the JBL E90's for my mains and now want to replace the Kenwood surrounds. The 1400 is capable of 7.1, so I am looking at either two pairs of the E10's or N24 II's. I can get the N24's for $75/pair and the...
BestBuy has the JBL E90's on sale for $249.99 each (black or cherry finish) this week...these usually list for $399.99 each. I purchased these two weeks ago to go with my new Yammy 1400 and they sound awesome.
Just set up the 1400 and it sounds great!! However, I am unable to find a listening mode that will matrix 2-channel stereo into 5.1. Am I missing something?
I am planning on upgrading a Kenwood VR-507 (from a HTIB) to the Yammy 1400. I see that the receiver has 7 digital inputs (not including the front panel), 4 optical and 3 coaxial. The outputs are labeled (i.e. CD, DVD, etc.), and overlap between optical and coaxial, however I read that they are...
I have been contemplating switching over to DirecTV for a while, and am now ready to do it with the NFLST special they are running. I was leaning towards getting the Blockbuster deal with a two room set-up (because they offer the elliptical dish if you tell them you are getting the Para Todos...
About two months ago I purchased the 50H81. Everything was going fine with it until a few weeks ago I noticed some red on the right side of the display when the screen was black (like during a very dark part on a DVD). The redness has gotten substantially worse, and I can now see it happening on...
I have two sofas set up in my veiwing room...one in front of the display and one to the left. I currently have the raer surrounds on either side of the main listening position, but I want to put surrounds on the sides of the sofa on the left.
I am planning on using an A/B speaker switch...
Has anyone had this problem? It has happened on a few movies, but it is always at the same frame on that particular film, which leads me to think it is just a software problem. However, the discs are brand new...out of the box.
I have made the decision to change from "digital" cable to DirecTV and need some help putting a package together. After researching, the Blockbuster deal for $29.99 looks pretty good. Dish and Hughes receiver (basic receiver I assume), installation, 1 year of BB rentals, and 1 month free...
I was at CC today looking at DirecTV receives and strted talking to one of the salesmen. I had mentioned the NFL package, and he told me that they would bill you over 4 months, at $45 each month (which I had already read). However, what I did not know, according to him, is that you do not have...
I finished connecting a new Toshiba 50H81 about 1 1/2 hours ago and am not very impressed with the picture. From my readings on these forums, I new that cable was not going to look all that good, but I am concerned about the DVD picture.
I am using a 56-RP progressive scan DVD connected with a...
Yesterday I purchased the Kenwood HTB-504 HTIB (I've seen a lot of discussion about this product on the board and people looking for it - Sears is closing them out for $430, if you store is out of them, you can order online and have them ship it to your nearest location).
I am relatively new...
