    Plasma question

    need advice -- have a Sony HTS HT-DDW660

    thanks for the advice. I'll see about purchasing one of the calibration systems you mentioned. I don't own an HD TV yet, but I am interested in getting better audio results. As far as the manual comment goes, I was just wondering if there is a Home Theater Guide for Dummies website some...
