OK, so I'm somewhat of a purist when it comes to watching movies at home. I want them as close as possible to the look of the theatrical versions. No colorization, no edge enhancement, blacks a little more gray than for broadcast TV shows. And most of all, original aspect ratio, or at least...

I just wanted to make sure I understand my connections and settings correctly. I have a Panasonic DMP-BD10A hooked up to a Yamaha RX-V661 receiver using an HDMI cable. I had previously been using an optical digital audio cable, but wasn't getting the HD audio I wanted, so I got another...

The room the HT is going to go in is the living room, with the section it will be going in roughly 10 x 12, open on one end. Seating will be seven feet from the tv. I've been reading and researching and come to the conclusion that I want a 42" HDTV, LCD, a Blu-Ray player, a surround sound...
