    Cable puller, that's pretty funny.I managed to run component video, s-video,and one composite to the projector. So I have the cables I need for the DVD player, PS2, and VCR. The problem is the coax splits behind the projector to the TV at the bar so the coax is staying. I can run a seperate coax...

    I have a stupid question. When I started building my home theater, I ran coaxial cable to my celing where my projector is mounted. Since then, I have learned that there is no connection for coax. Can I put another cable end on the coax? Yes I am sure it won't be high quality but when superbowl...

    I need help with setting speaker levels...

    Thanks. Like I said it sounds good. I like loud rears, medium dialog, and good bass. I think I will have to break down and get an SPL meter from radioshack so I can sleep at night. Next step, video calibration...

    InFocus 4805 TVAuthority Q&A

    I bought my 4805 w/free screen from Sam's club for $1188. Man, at first I felt ripped off seeing some of the other lower prices on this fourm but the picture is outstanding. I am happy with the picture and mounting and fan noise. It's great. The only downside I have found is the menu. It's not...

    I need help with setting speaker levels...

    I am adjusting the audio on the reciever.My reciever has level, EQ, and surround. For example, on every speaker (5.1) I can adjust the bass fq, mid fq, and treble fq, in addition to the dB's and Hz. Thats 35 adjustments I can make. Does the audio sound good? Yea but I just can't stop wondering...

    I need help with setting speaker levels...

    Is there a way to calibrate without an SPL meter. I am using a Sony STR-DB840 reciever and a DVP-NC875V DVD/SACD player. I have an Avia calibration disc and it seems to be confusing. My speaker size, distance, location, ect. and all the basics are good. What I am getting confused with is how to...

    5.1 or optical output

    I just got mine in the mail too. I popped a fuse on my Sonance AC-2 so it's not running yet. As far as SACD, that was just an extra feature. My main focus was progresive scan, Sony product, 5-disc, and black in color. I do have some extra monster cables laying around, maybe I will plug them in...

    5.1 or optical output

    Thanks for the info. I think I will skip the 6 cables and use the Optical. While we are on the subject, Is there really any difference between the optical and coaxial? Coaxial to me seems like just another cable...

    5.1 or optical output

    I am trying to figure out whether 5.1 or optical is better. I am using a Sony DVP-NC875V (DVD/SACD) and a Sony STR-DB840. I plan on using the fiber optical audio out for my DVDs. Does the 5.1 analog out from the DVD player to the reciever actually make a difference? Can you have both connections...

    WOW. What an overload of response (in a good way). Sorry I haven't been on here for a couple of days, access is limited. Well I/we have suffered our first blow. The first rough estimate I gave the powers that be was around 20,000. They were the ones with sticker shock! I thought that was a...

    That brings up a good question. Can I build an all american theater? It seems like there is to much imported stuff. Don't get me wrong, I am a fan of technology, but that does have a good ring to it. "The All American Theater"

    All of the old stuff is gone already. As far as local shops, there is a language barrier. I plan on importing all of the equipment from the states. The theater will also be used as a "briefing room" during the day. I guess you could kind of compare this to a school auditorium as far as use...

    2nd receiver?

    I have installed a Clark TST in my seating riser. I am wondering if I could run a front signal out of my main receiver ("B") into another receiver to use as an amp to power my TST.
