    Good tracks for checking soundstage and imaging

    Check out Cars. THX intro is very nice for showing off new installs. Also the whole movie was very well done for surround sound and visually. ChameleonAudio.ca

    Panasonic 42PX80U vs. Samsung PN42A450

    Hey bud save your money buy the 720 p/1080i panasonic. 1080 p is really only relevent when your looking at 50 inch plus tv's. maybe a 46". You won't see the extra resolution, or the extra thousand dollars you should have put in the bank or into equipment upgrade. ChameleonAudio.ca

    What to buy - Onkyo 606 vs. Pioneer 1018 vs Denon 1908/09 vs ???

    Get the Yamaha. Out of the mid-fi class you can't go wrong with the Yamaha's. It won't sound like your old NAD, I'm a huge fan of NAD sound. I'm also a huge fan of Yamaha sound quality as well. Pioneer receiver's are garbage (although I have never sat down and really listened to an elite...

    ***Tricky Problem: Connecting LCD TV to an external 5.1 ch speakers ??***

    Ok you need a digital tuner box. Problem solved. Your welcome. If you don't have a digital audio output on your tv, you need a digital tuner box with one. True 5.1 surround can only be acheived through, fiber optic/toslink, hdmi, multichannel analog or digital coax. Even if you...

    using existing coax

    Have a look at DVD recorders, as long as it will output the dvd and cable signal out the coax output that is all you need. It's probably your cheapest and easiest solution. Cheers, ChameleonAudio.ca

    Video troubleshooting help. AHHHH!

    Sounds like a problem with the pioneer receiver. Try going directly from your cable box or dvd to your projector. If that works you must have changed some settings on your receiver. If that doesn't work, I would assume your equipment is sending a resolution(1080i,p,576, etc..) that your...

    Need advise with a very modest 5.1 system

    Think I understand what your looking to do. So a couple of screw on rca plugs are all you need.

    Is this possible?

    I think you should check your info again, I said 1080i thru component, blu-ray players will output 1080I thru component when your watching a blu-ray disc. When your watching a DVD they output 480p. No they won'[t do 1080p but he doesn't have a 1080p tv. Why try to correct someone when you...

    Splitting Sub signal from Receiver to Wall Plate- Need 1M/2M RCA Cable suggestion...

    So you guys are telling me that this guy should use 10 dollar cables with his really nice SVS subs. That's great advise. When custom cables cost a few dollars more from any home theatre installer.

    Need Advice!

    Your guys are getting way off topic. In my opinion noise floor is the last thing Alex needs to be educated on. Alex you were close to right from the start. Electricians should, install another 15 or 20 amp dedicated circuit from your equipment room to your breaker panel. Install a...

    Is this possible?

    This is not a big problem. Here's your best option. Use component video from your Blu-ray. You mentioned HD DVD?? If you mean a upconverting/upscaling DVD player you would still use component cables. Set the blu-ray/dvd player to 1080i, make sure your components are plugged into the right...

    Splitting Sub signal from Receiver to Wall Plate- Need 1M/2M RCA Cable suggestion...

    Your both right. Anyway, here's the best option. Use RG-6 coaxial cable, with either direct rca compression connectors or a compression f-connector along with a screw on rca. Screw on rca's are not easy to find. Cheapest, solution to get a high quality cable. Trust me don't use cheap...

    Need advise with a very modest 5.1 system

    Hey bud, I've run into many customers with this same problem. Here are your options. If your tv volume controls the stereo volume, do not use this connection. remove these rca's as they are useless. Sound Quality will be very low and the tv will create an echo when used along with the stereo...

    Controlling Devices in Closed Cabinetry

    You should look into a hardwired ir(infared) kit. If your in the US you can get an ir kit for around $200, RF harmony's are around 500. From my experience the rf harmony remote comes with only 4 ir blasters. meaning you can only control 4 components and your tv. If you have more components or...
