    What's a good entry level front projector?

    It looks like you can find the L300U for $1699 from visualapex.com special price until 7/13/03. Still $500 more than the Z1 though. Tough call.

    Any projectors under $1k worth buying?

    Where can someone who may be interested in the Sanyo Z1 find it for $1100?

    Infocus X1

    Thanks Dennis for answering my question. I tried to search the internet for more info, didn't find much, but what I did find seemed to be right in line with your explanation. Digital cable is still 480i, but it delivers a "cleaner" signal than analog delivers.

    Infocus X1

    Can anyone help me understand the difference in picture quality between analog and digital cable tv. I think analog or standard definition tv is considered 480i, right? Is there a number that could be attached to digital cable? Is it still 480i or is it 480p or is it some other number? I know...

    Opinions on Marantz SR-4000

    Hey John, quick question. The old Sony I'm replacing with the SR-4000 had all spring clips for connectors. Do you know what is utilized for connections with the SR-4000? Can bare wire be used or do I need to get something else? What do you recommend--for connectors and for speaker wire? Thanks!

    What exactly does DPL II do and does the SR-4000 have anything similar. Is DPL II a feature that would steer you away from the SR-4000 since it doesn't have it?

    Seeking suggestions for an "affordable" home theater upgrade strategy

    I guess I've had a rather productive week. I began the week looking to improve my entire system and after finding this forum on Tuesday, I made my final addition to my "new" system today. I stumbled on to a used Marantz SR-4000 for $160 that I opted for instead of the Panasonic SA-HE70 and...

    Opinions on Marantz SR-4000

    Hi John, thanks for your feedback. I read many of your previous posts on this receiver which helped steer me towards this option. I just got the feeling that for the money available in my budget, a "used" SR-4000 would be a better "value" than a new $200 Panasonic/Pioneer. As for DTS, I'm...

    Opinions on Marantz SR-4000

    I'm new to the home theater bug and have decided to upgrade my old Sony STR-D615 Dolby Pro-Logic receiver to something a little more modern that would offer at least Dolby Digital 5.1. My budget unfortunately is entry-level--looking to spend $200 roughly (I already dropped $400 for speakers!)...

    Seeking suggestions for an "affordable" home theater upgrade strategy

    Hey Jack, thanks for posting. I recently purchased some optical cables from PartsExpress.com and with the shipment was a coupon for free shipping off my next order over $70, so if I choose the DLS 10" powered subwoofer, I'd be able to get it for $99. I'm interested in your opinion on this...

    Seeking suggestions for an "affordable" home theater upgrade strategy

    My current lame system consists of a Sony STR-D615 Dolby Pro Logic receiver, a Panasonic DVD-RV30 DVD Player, Pinnacle AC-600 bookshelf speakers, and Advent AV-5 center and surround speakers. Our living room/home theater room is roughly 12x12, nothing extravagant. I think I should begin my...
