Just wall-mounted my 65H9F. It is a beautiful TV. I watched The Avengers on Prime Video on UHD and looked really good. The same for Netflix Pets 2 (regular HD). I need to upgrade the Netflix to UHD tonight. But I noticed a couple of issues: 1. Reviews said this TV was great to watch sports and...

I am upgrading to a Hisense H9F. Do I need to upgrade my HDMI cables? If so, to which version (2.0 or 2.1)? My current cables are several years old. The video sources are an Amazon Fire box DV83YW (Netflix, Amazon Prime, Hulu, Sling) and the Panasonic DMP-BDT230 DVD player. Thanks!

Do you have a suggestion for a good karaoke forum? Thanks!

I am looking into putting together a Karaoke System for my wife for Xmas. I got a Hisense 65" H9F, SVS speakers and sub and a very old Denon AVR-2803 receiver. I read it is not a good idea to connect karaoke to a good AVR/speaker system, as the speakers could be damaged. But this is for my...

How is Apple TV's Airplay? Is it fast enough to stream Amazon Prime Video with no pauses? Which Sony or Pana player should I consider? The list of Amazon Prime compatible players is outdated at the Amazon's site.

Thanks for the correction suggestions. I do not think that Oppo includes Amazon Prime Instant Video, and I also prefer to spend a little less than that for the Blu Ray player.

I am looking to upgrade my Blu Ray player. Here is what I got: Verizon FIOS Denon AVR 1909 receiver 5 SVS speakers and sub (love'em!) Samsung LN46A750 TV (not smart, but awesome picture) Sony BDP S350 (pretty slow blu ray player) I want to get "smart" features on my system. I am a...

I have not seen 40" plasmas, so that is not an option. Also, I got 3 huge windows in my living room, so lighting is an issue. If there are plasmas on that size, let me know. I have had great experience with Samsung LCDs, but it seems some of you are not big fans. What other brands should I check...

The Oppo units are outside my budget. Seriously considering the Panny BDT230. What about for the TV? I am currently testing the Samsung UN40EH5300F ($450). This is a 40" LCD/LED 1080p 60Hz. The picture looks good, but I noticed defects at the edges on characters when playing the Wii U. I have...

Thanks for the recommendation. I was ready to purchase the Panny BDT230 but I read many bad reviews from regular users at Amazon. The BDT220 is double the price but with a much better review rates. Is there a big difference between these two?

An issue with plasma is size. If you are limited below 42", I think you sre stuck with LCD.

I am replacing my old LCD Samsung 32" and old DVD player. My issue is space, as I am limited to a 38" wide TV due to cabinet space. I know some Samsung 40" LCDs are 36-37" wide, so they could fit. I am open to plasma or LCD/LED, but I am not sure there are plasmas that small out there. I am...

I have the SVS Audio SBS-02-5.1 speakers and I love them. However, they are too big for my bedroom, and I want to get some in-wall speakers. Could you recommend any brands or models I should consider? I do not want to spend more than $1000 in speakers. I would like to continue to use the SVS...

I want to put my Verizon FIOS HD receiver (Motorola HD QIP 71001) on top of my Sony BDP S350. The FIOS receiver is pretty light, but it has a larger surface area than the Sony player. The Sony player is too small to support all "legs" of the FIOS receiver (in order to keep the FIOS receiver flat...

Hello! I need to purchase a couple of HDMI cables, and one will be used to connect an 46" LCD wall-mounted to a Denon AVR 1909. I want to install the HDMI cable behind the dry wall. Do I need to purchase a special HDMI cable for that? I see that Monoprice sells "in-wall installation" HDMI...

So, even though the S550 has some advantages over the S350, as long as I use a Receiver like the Denon AVR 1909, I am OK, right? Also, is there a particular HDMI cable I need to purchase? I am assuming the HDMI 1.3 are the ones, but not sure if I need to purchase something else to support...

I am looking at the Denon AVR 1909 and 789. The 1909 is around $50 more expensive, but I don't see much difference between the two in the specs. I am planning to use the receiver with the following components: Samsung LN46A750 (1080p LCD) Sony BDPS350 (Blue Ray DVD) SVS SBS/SCS01 speaker...

Which are the hi-res lossless audio formats you are referring to? Does this means that I gain nothing by going with the Sony BDP-S550 or any other higher grade Blue Ray player? Thanks! JROD

I am setting up a "mini" Hi-Def home theater for my master bedroom, and planning to use the following components: Sony BDP-S350 (got it for $180 on Black Friday) Samsung LN46A750 (got it today!) Denon AVR 1909 (need to purchase) SBS/SCS-01 (SVS Sound) Speakers 5.1 (need to purchase) SVS...

I am finally going to take make the jump to HDTV. I need a 32" or 37" TV. I am not sure if I should go with Plasma otr LCD. Have heard that LCD responses are slower than, but Plasma can not create good dark colors (LCD colors are better). Is there a good link here to see a comparison between the...

Hello! I was planning to get the JBL NSP1 II system with the PB10 or PB12 subs, but have then read several reviews about users having AMP issues with these subs (stop working) plus humming noises when left in stand-by mode. Is there a real quality issue with these units? If so, what sub...

What is a percentage of non anamorphic vs. anamorphic DVDs? Does this mean that I will only be able to see non anamorphic DVDs in 4:3 leter box or 4:3 zoom modes? Thanks!

I got the Panasonic CP72 for my new Sony KV-32FS100 TV (4:3 with 16:9 Enhanced Mode). I just read that the CP72 does not do scaling. What do I miss by not having this? Does this mean that I will have trouble watching Anamorphic DVDs? I got the CP72 because I wanted a changer with the "old"...

Thanks!

No, it is to run 5 speakers, plus some extra cable just in case.

I need around 250 feet of WHITE 12 gauge speaker cable. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I have HBO, so I'll check. I did not notice much difference with ESPN. John, are you talking about the same Terk switch box reccomended earlier? That box does not mix S-video and RCA into the same S-video output, which is what I need. If you are talking about a different switch box, let me...

On that same token, I am a little puzzled by the lack of improvement when going from RCA to S-video on the Dish Network signal. The DVD looks so clear and with so much color, it almost hurts my eyes. On the other hand, the dish looks pretty much the same as with RCA cables. I know the sources...

I guess I should have said composite video instead of coax video. Sorry about that. My TV has the regular 3 cable RCA inputs (red, white and yellow), one S video and one input for regular coax (cable TV, for example). I am wondering if the Terk unit combines the composite and S video signals...

I just upgraded my system with a Denon 2802 and Panasonic RP62 (thanks HTF and 6th AVE!). After completing my connections, I realized that my old JVC TV (1994) can not handle both S and coax video inputs (when I connect both, the TV does not acept the coax signal). Is there an adapter I can buy...
