Anyone have a good recommendation for a full 5.1 system for $1500 or less? Here's what I'm looking for: System will be primarily used for watching TV and movies. Music to a lesser extent, probably 80% video 20% music. For music, I like mostly rock. Rooom is roughly 16' x 17' Looking for...

Thanks for the advice, Dave. I don't know which way the joists run, was wondering that myself. I can only hope they are parallel to the desired cable path. I really don't want to go the wireless route, I'd rather run that flat type wire above the molding where the wall meets the floor...

Hello all, I just moved into a new place and starting to work on the HT setup in the living room. Looking for some advice regarding cabling and speaker mounts. Cabling - of course going to want to run through the walls. The place is a condo, so no basement or crawl space access is...

Thanks for the responses. The display is on the same power strip as the rest of the gear. This is just regular old power strip, not anything that does any cleaning. Will try your suggestions when I get home tonight. Thanks again!

Hi Leo, They scroll, bottom to top. The banding is lighter than the actual picture, and usually of uniform size. There is some variation of shade within the band. The TV came with ferrite cores but the manual did not say to put them on component or S-video cables (not even sure what these...

Hi all, Just got a Panasonic TH-37PD25U and seeing some horizontal banding, either from HD cable box or DVD player. Both these sources are switched through a Sony STR-DE2ES. Using AR Pro component cables, made sure there were no power cables around the video signal cables. Any thoughts as to...

Hi all, Was wondering if anyone else is having this problem. My Sony DVP-NS755V will not play SACD's. Used to work fine, now doesn't work at all (with no changes to equipment or wiring). What is happening is when you put in an SACD it plays the first second of a track, then silence, though the...

Hi all, Actually, the one I had in mind was Judgment Night. Body Count and Faith No More are also quality listening material. Thanks!!!!

Hi all, Hoping someone can jog my memory. Back in the early 90's (I think) there was an album of hybrid rap and metal, similar to Anthrax and Public Enemy (though I am not sure if their version of Bring the Noise was on this album). Does anyone know the name of this album? Thanks...

Hi Mike, Thanks, don't feel bad that I didn't pick up on it i the manual then. Will give it a shot this weekend...

Hi All, Does anyone know how to change the label names of the components? When you hit the "Other" key the names of various components are displayed on the touch screen, i.e. the first by defualt is MD. I wish to change this to be SACD but was unable to figure out how to do it. Maybe I just...

Sublime - got into them too late Dead Milkmen - was going to catch what was going to be their last performance in Philly, but got in argument with my father and didn't have use of the car. They broke up a short while later. I am still bitter...

Hi John, My first bike (and current for that matter) was a 1984 Honda VF500 - the red white ond blue one. Great bike to learn on, picked it up cheap, small enough to handle yet big enough to have some fun with. You can also get Ninjas at around 500 or 600 cc (don't really know their line that...

Ok, no one said it yet, so I am Otto!

Hey Christ, Sorry, I wasn't making a value judgement on the skills of the installers at best buy. I find that store is best to walk in and out of, and it is usually difficult to get help, and at times the help you get is not all that great (maybe this is just the ones in my area). I have found...

Great to see there are so many good opinions out there. In response to a few: 1. Sports cars have no back seat. I think this is kind of narrow, what about camaros, mustangs, novas, chevelles, challengers (i could go on) 2. As for the manual trans thing, would you say an automatic 911 is...

Ah, the M3 and S4, glad someone brought these up. I will not deny these are both sports cars. Now, do you still consider a 325 and an A4 1.8T or 2.8 sports cars? And a Mustang GT or Camaro Z28 would probably be sports cars to most, but what about the V6 versions of these cars (i.e. 1998 Camaro...

The good handling I will agree with, however, I'm not sure I agree with the 1/4 time. Why not 12 seconds? Or 15? Also, does appearance have a part at all? Just trying to play devil's advocate here, not trying to put down any ideas...

Make/Model: Sony 32FS100 Wega Trinitron Size/Type: 32" Flat Screen Rear Projection Price you paid for it: sister won it in giveaway, bought from her for $400 :) Good things: Crisp picture, nice OSD, flat screen Bad things: Very heavy, only one component input, not HD Overall: Are you happy...

Ok, so, seems to be not only a bucnh of A/V junkies here, but also more than a few motor heads. Rather than Ricer-slam (which I do my total fair share of) or trash mini-van drivers (found the worst driver ever, old guy with hat in a minivan with New Jeresy handicapped plates) I'd like to put...

Hi Shawn, You might want to take a ride over to your local car audio store (not Best Buy but a smaller private place specializing in car audio). The guys there are usually pretty cool, and if you aren't ready to buy, tell them, and see what they have to offer, and tell them you are checking...

Hey Kevitra Ned's, I haven't heard them in ages! Thanks for reminding me of an awesome band (as I hop on Kazaa)

Hey Aaron, Thanks for the info about DVD-A in cars. Wonder how long it will be before someone puts SACD into cars. Gotta love these format wars!

A portable SACD player would be cool, but where I see an excellent market for SACD is in cars. The stage is pretty much set already with almost all cars having at least 4 speakers (hell, many newer cars have more than 4, my car is a 1998 and it has 10 speakers). Some cars have better acoustics...

One quote, this is not an easy task, however... Setting: Kramer calling Jerry from a payphone because he is lost in Downtown NYC Jerry "What street are you on?" Kramer "I'm on First and First. How can the same street intersect with itself? I must be at the nexus of the universe!" The...

I could offer advice as many of the other wise people have given, but some info that someone new to drinking needs to know about that has not really been brought up....SHOTS!!!! So, what do you need to know about shots? Many things. 1. First, be careful, as they can be rather powerful...

Pink Floyd Division Bell Tour, Philly, 6/1994 - nuff said The Dead w/ Bob Dylan opening Highgate, VT 6/1995 - Mostly due to the fact this holds major sentimental feelings as it was the last tour (Check a pic) Red Hot Chili Peppers w/ Foo Fighters Californication Tour - 5/2000 Wilkes Barre, PA...

Hi Marty, I have a Sony RM-AV3000 touchscreen remote and really love it (Remote Central Review) Programming is pretty easy and using the remote is nice with a mix of hard and touchscreen buttons. It is a larger unit, so that might take some getting used to. As mentioned before, check out...
