I am trying to find some information for a friend of mine who is opening an indy/art movie house. They are slated for 2 35mm screens and I'm begging them to try to squeeze the budget to either have a 3rd smaller screen for digital or to throw a projector in one of the 35 screens so they can go...

What is this E-Supply?

Just around the baseboard of my bedroom. Say 40 feet? I just don't know the 'specs' of composite cables.

I have 2 quick questions. I have discovered a cheapo GF4 video card with an S-video out on it. (Here is the card's homepage http://www.evga.com/products/moreinf...128-A8-NV95-LX) I want to know if I can get the s-video signal converted into composite (for my equally crappy tv) with an...

I'm not sure where exactly to post this but here's my question. I have Charter Digital cable with HDTV and a tivo. I would like to split the cable and send one line to the Tivo and the other to the Motorola HDTV cable box (unsure of the model # off the top of my head). I have tried to do this...

I realize the logo's aren't going to go away, and that's fine, I actually like knowing what channel I'm on when I go to a friends house with cable and no onscreen guide. But it'd be best if they all follow A&E's footsteps and make a transparent logo. No risk of burn in there AND its not as...

I used to work at Best Buy and most of the times the guys over in video are morons, they just try to regurgitate whatever their managers say to try to sell accessories and product service plans. What he was attempting to talk about was Nitrogen injected PE dielectric that Monster (and others)...

Well they are brownish. But definitely not gray. Like maybe the red is too high or something...

Ok, here's my setup as it was. I was using an XBOX with Advanced A/V output box, connected via a 12' component cable to my Plus Piano DLP projector. I've had this setup now for several months and am very happy with the image I've been getting. XBOX Live came out last week and my internet is...

Even though I couldn't live without the 16:9 mode on my Projector, if you watch 95% TV and want to buy a TV, then 4:3 makes a lot of sense. You get a lot more real estate than with 16:9. It's not the choice for people building a HT, but then TV isn't Theater.

They are very different. Even within DVI there are 3 types of connectors. Check out http://www.networktechinc.com/dvi.html for a pictures of each. Physically there might exist a converter for DVI-A to the regular VGA connctor since they are both analog signals, but hopefully you are looking at...

What brand of paint was that? Each uses their own names for colors...

I bought a Piano Plus (450 lumens) about a month ago and have been running it far beyond its capable range and projecting a 120" screen when it was really meant for 80". Quite frankly that was just way too big so last night I moved it in so that it is correct and am going to paint my mask on the...

I am set up 14-15' from the screen and throwing an image of 120". Plus and most every review I have read recommends a distance of 10' giving an 80" image. That being said I am not trying to recreate those results, I was simply trying to get some information to better educate myself as to how...

I will go ahead and admit that I might be trying to do the impossible, but I am not expecting a reference quality image. I'm just wondering if there is anything I can do to improve over what I already have. That being said.... I am wondering if someone could explain the relationships between...

All the colors are very bright, but it is the red bleeding that is the biggest (or most obvious) problem. So you are saying that if I set it up at 80" it will be easier to get the settings correct? If I do that and then put it back at the rear of the room will the settings still be correct?

Okay, the day finally came Friday and i got my Piano Plus "demo unit" from my dealer. Turns out they never used it, so I got a really cool deal. I turned it on and sure enough, 0 hours on the bulb, 0 hours on the life timer. So I began to set it up by building a mount for it, which I think...

If you have BOTH the RGB connectors for a component input and the WRY connectors for a composite input, you definitely want to get a DVD player with component, as it is far superior. However I don't know that I've ever seen a TV with a component input and no S-video input...it seems odd. While...

I am also in a similar condition. I have to get a 4m component cable to run up to my new projector any day now. Monster Video2 4m are $100 but I can score a 4m AR cable for only $40. Can you REALLY see the difference. Like, with your eyes. I realize that theoretically, the better the cables, the...

I asked about this about six weeks ago and I just wanted to double check to see if anybody had heard if there have been any DVD players announced to be released soon with DVI ouput. I will be getting another DVD player to go into my new projector which has a DVI input, and would be really sad if...

I am getting my dealers Plus Piano 3100 as soon as he gets his 3200 demo unit. On their web page they have extened the preorder deadline from July 20th to the 31st. Has anybody heard if they have in fact pushed back the release date on the 3200's? I'm so anxious to get my hands on the 3100! The...

OMG. I just got a call from my authorized dealer and he told me he got an email TODAY from Plus that said they are moving the 3100's in 2-3 weeks for $1899!!!!!!!!! OMG. I was leaving to get ripped off in like an hour when I got the call. I then preceded to dance aroudn our office. If you want...

Now I'm no expert on the issue, but I realyl don't think that the A&E logo specifically would be too much of a problem because its a transparent logo. MSNBC and CNN however have really bright logos and are to be taken seriously, especially during the first 100 hours or so.

Ok, here it goes. I'm gonna buy my dealer's Piano Plus HE-3100 demo unit. I'm calling this morning to double check and make sure that I'm going to get the full manfacture's warrantee and stuff, but if so, I'm gonna go pick it up this afternoon. Just wanted to ask a couple last minute questions...

I haven't been there since they remodeled and quit selling DVD's, but Georgia Home Theater people kept their stuff looking good and they seemed pretty informed. I never made any hardware purchases myself. They are closed on Saturdays tho. Pete

For $2699 you can get the Plus Piano HE-3100 which has not only the component inputs, but also a very competent line doubler. Excellent contrast ratio, but a little on the low side for pure light power. If you can control the light in your room though, you can get a much better image than any...

I'm considering purchasing a Plus Piano front projector and it has a DVI-D input. Besides building a HTPC, are there any set-top DVD players currently out (or officially announced) that could make use of this port? I'm only guessing, but I would imagine that the final picture quality would...

I am going to be moving into a new place soon and have a BR I'm going to turn into my theater. Its around 15 x 13 (haven't actually measured it yet) and I want to have my viewing surface on the short wall. I don't even have my projector yet, I'm getting a Plus Piano next month. All the...

I am going to a dealer today to see a demo of the Plus Piano HE-3100 projector today. I acknowledge the fact that it does not do HD, but since I'm only looking at DVD playback, that doesn't concern me. I was mainly going to see what the 450 lumens looks like and if it will be bright enough to...
