    Win a Denon X5200W 9.2 channel Dolby Atmos AVR with a copy of Insurgent on Blu-ray!

    My ideal Atmos home theater would be a room where I can immerse myself in the latest surround experience, while still at home! The new Denon receiver can do that!

    Win an Onkyo TX-NR1030 9.2 channel Dolby Atmos AV Receiver

    I want to win beause I'm currently in the process of finishing my basement, and plan on pre wiring for Atmos speakers anyway, for future upgradability...but it'd be nice to be able to take advantage of the tech right away.

    Service plan a good idea or not?

    Actually I work for Futureshop, which is owned by Best Buy Canada, and we have identical coverage as we use the same insurance company, and they "DO NOT" cover the bulbs. Sony covers you for the first year, and thats it. It is considered a consumable, and therefore is not covered by Best...

    Component vs HDMI input on Hitachi 70VS810

    Actually it's more likely the tv, from what I've read on it. Could be the cables your using, but the lines seem to be a freq problem with the tv.

    pioneer 1015 in canada?

    I work at Futureshop, and we do carry the 1015, just haven't seen one in my store yet, although that's nothing new for my store. Keep checking, the sku's in our system so either us or Best Buy carries it.

    Apex Vs. Philips - Need advice

    I'm shocked you haven't had a problem with your apex, yet. Anyway if you are gonna get a divx DVD player, get the LG (think its the 510 model). Plays divx and xvid, phillips wont play xvid.

    Alright--I want to hear the TRUTH about Bose!

    The only time I EVER recommend Bose, is to people who want the best small speakers they can find. Thats what your paying for, the size, and the research behind getting "big" sound out of small speakers. That being said I personally hate Bose. They sound very flat(no highs, no lows, must be...

    coax to s-video

    Get a Dig cable/Sat box with an S-video out, then go into a splitter box to split the S-video output.

    polk audio r50 79 $ each

    WOW, some people REALLY dont like polk audio around here. They've done no wrong by me, infact I just added a pair of R15 for my rears, and couldn't be happier. One thing I will say is that I think they have a cleaner high end on them this year(the RTi series), compared to my CSi30 from last...

    HK 7200 User Help?...

    Sounds to me like they turned on your Dig Coax connection (for the first time by your shock). So now your receiver is getting a DD signal, as opposed to a stereo signal. P.S. My 225 also stands in awe of it's MUCH bigger brother

    A few questions about the Panasonic DVD-S97 (yes I did do a search first) :)

    LG makes a player that can do it through component

    Help with video from VCR through component cables?

    JVC makes a combo unit that does the up-conversion to component as well.

    Which movies of mine are best to show off my Theater

    Loud Pop

    Dont consider anything, just upgrade. I work at Futureshop, and we go through at LEAST one of those things a month, and thats trying to take it easy on it. 404 is prone to poping too, just takes a bit more, but nowhere near levels that should be making it pop. It's weird cause I know last year...

    JBL Northrige owners....upgrade your sound for $5!

    Thats really interesting considering that I'm all but decided on N24's as my new rears. Think i'll have to give that a try when I get them. Thanks for the tip.

    Kenwood Remote works intermittently??

    I tried resesting mine when it first started happening last summer, and it only lasted for about two days, then a day, then about ten mins, then not at all. May try and take it apart this weekend and see about the connections.

    HK AVR320 Component Video

    Sorry, dumb yet obvious question that I gotta ask, but you did switch the t.v to the right input didn't you????

    Kenwood Remote works intermittently??

    I had the same prob with my kenwood remote. Still haven't figured out what happened. The closest thing to a solution that I can come up with is something I read awhile ago that direct sunlight can wreck in infrared sensor. I had my reciever in my bedroom of the house that I just moved into at...

    Quest QT66 vs. Polk R30 (impressions)... (Help/advice requested!)

    Well I've been at FS for over a year now and have NEVER seen speakers sold/priced as singles, so yeah, i'm sure. I work at the Burlington store. I'd say come on by, but you wouldn't be impressed. It's one of the oldest FS stores in Ontario.

    Quest QT66 vs. Polk R30 (impressions)... (Help/advice requested!)

    Just to let you know, the E60's are $799/pr. not a single speaker. And till Dec 31st there on for $599 CDN/"pr." at Futureshop. BTW if you were in my store in the speaker room, I would've been in there first chance I had, that being said it is boxing week, and it is REALLY busy, at least in...

    Polk PSW202 for $100 but....

    Sounds about right. I work at Futureshop and we went through 4-5 of those things in 2 months. Can't handle anything. We dont even have it hooked it up anymore.

    Looking for a good cheaper model Panasonic DVD player for interlaced TV..

    It is a good unit, the 35. The difference between the 25 and the 35 are that the 25 doesn't have an S-Video, or optical output. It's also exclusive to Futureshop, from what I hear.

    The Bose Alternative

    Try looking at the Sony DAV-FC7. Not quite AS pleasing to the eye, but prob sounds just as good, if not better for half the price.

    Bookshelves with a sub vs. Floor stand speakers

    I second Wayne's comment.

    Athena Speakers: which one?

    Point 5 everytime. I've had a chance to compare them side by side, and IMO it's not even a contest.

    Is it all the speakers that hum, or just certain one's?

    How do I hook up my cable tv to my receiver?

    Just hook up the cable to your t.v., then take a pair of audio cables and run them from the audio out on your t.v. to an input on your reciever. You "MAY" have to turn off you t.v. speakers (in your menu) to get the output to work, depends on the t.v..

    Quest Q660 Tower Speakers

    For $99 (Reg.$199) they aint too bad for music. Little low on the sound spectrum for my ears, but some customers like them. Listen to them and see if there worth your $99.
