I have a Hitachi 57F500A TV. It has a DVI-D dual link input (no HDMI). The manual says this is : "DVI-HDTV Input (Input 1): Use this DVI-HDTV Input for your external devices with DVI-HDTV output such as a Set-Top-Box, high-band DTV decoders, DVD players and D-VHS with Digital Content...
I have an Onkyo receiver that is capable of 6.1 sound. I currently have no rear center channel and want to buy one now that I have some money. My current speaker setup (all Paradigm): CC: CC-170 v.3 FL/R: Titan v.3 RL/R: Titan v.3 When I bought my speaker a year ago or so the salesman...
I am moving into a new house in a couple of weeks and now it is time for my first RPTV. I am looking at 55"-57", $2000 or less, and has a top of a least 8" deep to fit my Paradigm CC. The electronics stores I talk to seem to think Hitachi or Mitsubishi would be the best fit for me, but I am open...
What is the resolution for most "normal" (i.e. sitcoms, dramas, etc.) shows and for sports shows? Is there any listing that specifies what different shows are filmed in?
I'm moving into a new house in the next month or two (yey!) and will be purchasing a HD projection TV. To take advantage of my newfound picture resolutions, I have compared services. For the channels/packages I have looked at I think cable is the way to go. They have HD locals and the hardware...
I calibrated my audio system and everything sounds correct (i.e. when a plane moves between each speaker they all sound at the same level). My problem is that when I turn up my receiver enough to hear dialog, the action scenes are incredibly loud. Besides, I live in an apartment and I don't want...
I assume Alias Season 3 (yes I realize it is going on now:) ) will be coming to DVD...?? Anybody have an idea when? I just finished watching Season 2 and am comtemplating on reading episode summaries or waiting and hoping that the S3 set will be out before S4 starts. I wish I could buy a half...
I didn't see the demo, but the game looks normal. Part of the movie clips have what I think you are talking about...it's no big deal at all. Adds a little effect actually.
I have a 700 receiver, and as others have said, this is normal. Sometimes I dim out the front display so I don't know what the volume is and I enjoy it whatever the number is. The way Onkyo sets up their volume bothered me a lot when I first got my receiver as well.
The Target return policy used to be 90 days if unopened. They won't take it back if opened. Actually I am working there this holiday season...I'll fill you in for sure when I find out.
I would rather have Beau back than Andon. I agree, Holly made a dumb pick with Mel. You know that is true because Toni cheered when Mel was picked.:) Anyone think the episodes with the whole gang were completely boring? I have been very interested in the show since it started, but all I...
I agree with all the raves that everyone else has for the show. I can't believe it is getting such good TV ratings (over the big networks!). Now my girlfriend needs to get cable in her apartment - boo. I have been anticipating tomorrow's release for a while now. Tuesday, Sept. 9th is the day...
The originals are the most immature people I have seen for their ages. Plus they lie so bad. I have thought the last couple of episodes were completely boring...I missed over half of last night's episode and didn't miss a thing. I agree BIG TIME that Keith's comment about kicking out Zack twice...
I thought The OC was supposed to be the next big show for Fox. Why in the world would they move it to Thursday night, the best night of TV? Tuesdays have almost nothing on, it is a good place for the show to stay.
I was annoyed by last night's show. Amy is the most annoying person. I don't know why everyone has it in for "Dave's 4." They picked on Charla way too much last night. Amy talks about everyone behind their backs as much or more than Charla. The "originals" need to get over themselves and grow...
Thank you for the information on interlaced/progressive. I realized that I was asking two completely different questions, but I thought I would do it in one thread. The reason why I asked about the different audio connections is because optical or digital coax sends a cleaner signal and I would...
What do the different resolutions for HDTV mean? I have seen 480i/p, 720i/p, 1080i/p (I can't remember which have i's and p's)...what does the i and p mean? I thought regular TV had 640X480 resolution so why is 480i/p there, or does it mean normal TV resolution? I will be looking for a...
Welcome. I am also somewhat of a noob both here and to the home audio world. I am coming up on my senior year in college, and I can already tell that my home audio will cost me a lot throughout life. You will learn QUICKLY how much better home audio is than car audio. Dollar for dollar there...
If you are not seeing any improvement, DON'T KEEP IT! That seems ridiculous to spend that kind of money for nothing. If you want a line conditioner, buy a cheaper one and maybe buy another amp, more speakers, or do some room treatment with the money difference. I think you will see more...
I would get a little bit better receiver if you are spending that much on speakers. Think about it - a $300 receiver with $1000 speakers - sounds like a mismatch to me. If I were you I would at least look at the 600/601. For speakers, Paradigm, no doubt.
