    Remote to control it all

    I have done much research on a good remote to control my HT, but I have an issue that I cannot find a lot about. I live in an area in which I cannot receive local channels from my satellite provider. Therefore, I am still relegated to an antenna for the big four stations. I have looked at the...

    How to make it all work

    Thanks for all of your opinions. I will research learning remotes and try to find one that will do what I envision (although I don't know if I'll be smart enough to program it). It won't take long for me to pick one out because, as it stands right now, I don't use the HT room at all... it's just...

    How to make it all work

    Well, I finally got my HT all hooked up, but I have five separate remotes now! I have programed all the codes that I can into the HT remote, and I can do a few simple functions, but I can't get device menus and such to work. I need help! My equipment is as follows: Sony KP-46WT510 TV Onkyo...

    Most bang for small bucks

    Not sure whether this is the right area or not, but since I am new to HT I'll try it here. I am building a home theater in my basement. The dimensions are 12X24. The couch will sit cross-ways the room approximately eight feet from the screen face of a Sony 46" rear projection TV, essentially...

    Opinions on a couple of projections

    I'm all reliability and adjustability, and I have two votes for the Panasonic. So the five inch picture size difference wouldn't mean enough to sway you to the RCA?

    Opinions on a couple of projections

    Any particular reason? The image is very close on both of them but the RCA is 5" larger.

    Opinions on a couple of projections

    I found a couple of rear projection TV's on closeout and wonder what the opinion is on them. One is an RCA model D52W20 and the other is a Panasonic PT47WX425. I have very little money to spend on a TV. The Panasonic is $1200.00 and the RCA is 1300.00. I would like to stay above 46". What do you...

    Building in speakers

    MY SPEAKERS!!!! Yep, thats them alright. I may be in over my head if it comes to building crossovers and correct baffling. I'm not on that level yet. I could make the internal dimentions identical to the original cases, and the built-in is to be made from 3/4" MDF and painted white (13...

    Building in speakers

    I am in the planning stages for a built-in across one whole wall of my basement, wall to wall, floor to ceiling. I have a pair of Infinity Kappa7 speakers. In order to build around them the cabnetry is going to look stupid, so, what to do? I could take them apart and build them into the...

    Where to buy stuff

    OK troops, now that you've got mr going in the right direction, where do you think is a good place to purchase said stuff. I looked in the HT for sale section, but didn't get the answer I was looking for. I would never order something from a catalog or internet outfit without having listened...

    An add that I got

    Well, I kinda thought it was bogus. It's amazing how fast these people get our names and addresses from these forums. I'm brand new to world of HT, I haven't even bought any equipment yet. But I'm not very gullible, and I have friends to ask (you all). Hopefully someone else will read this and...

    Just beginning

    Ah, you guys are already helping me a lot! I read the beginners FAQ until my eyes bled last night! I am slowly learning the basic language now. The funny part about this whole new experience is that I am a licenced electrician and an industrial instrument tech, and this is STILL over my head...
