oh stop complaining... yikes

The Panasonic is ugly I agree... This is my reasoning for the suggestion; 1. Your designing a dedicated home theatre for mainly movie watching, so therefore the priority should be on the best video and audio performance for this.... so cinemascope screen 2.35:1 2. because the Panasonic...

Hi Edmond, I think you mean the Pioneer LX81... a good choice also, it has automatic adjustment for room acoustics, called MCCAC, so this is very useful. But you can get it for $2,800 instead of the $3,500 so looking good! I gotta say your stores in Sydney are really taking advantage of...

Hi Joey, why do you feel you are missing something? because you have a 52" and the stand states it is for up to only 50" ? As you say the connection points are in the right place and the weight is well within limits, so all is OK. I suspect the reason for the manufacturer saying it is for...

Al.Anderson is right the optical output from the TV is only 2 channel audio, so connect as he suggested. You may get sound from all speakers, but it won't be full Dolby Digital or DTS which gives you independent sound from each speaker, plus better bass. So to get the very best from what...

I think you have the best setup you can do given the limitations of the DAV-DZ570. I was going to suggest you get someone to make your PS3 region free for DVD's and play them through that because it probably has better video processing for picture quality than the DVD player in the DAV-DZ570...

Unless you purchased the cheapest Sony AV receiver, the STR-DH500, the audio decoding is done internally through from the Hdmi connection for all other Sony receivers. Only the STR-DH500 needs the optical inputs for audio input. Consideirng the quality of the equipment you purchased I...

Find the manual here >>> Consumer Electronics Reviews, Product Manuals, Guides and Deals: Retrevo btw, $80 good deal, but your missing a rear speaker! There should be 2 (left and right) Maybe spend a little money or if you have some speakers from a previous stereo use these wired to your...

I was thinking about something with the set-up. I'm now thinking you might need to run the DVDO Edge INTO the AV receiver and then the OUTPUT Hdmi from the receiver to the projector. The reason is that then you can see the GUI (Graphics User inteface, i.e menu) from the receiver control on...

I am certainly thinking of solutions without spending the extra money, one reason I'm putting this time in is #1 your an Aussie, #2 I would like you to get the best system for much less than you were originally quoted, which I thought was a rip-off. The pillars had the extra benefit of...

Angled in could work, depends on the speaker choice... but for me I don't feel confident about that solution. I need to do some research and further thinking. The seating plan looks pretty good. Maybe I would not put the rear seats completely against the rear wall because in this position it...

I would probably hook it up like this... All sources, i.e Blu-ray, TiVo, AppleTV, etc plug into DVDO Edge using Hdmi. Then the Hdmi output will go direct to the projector, this takes care of the video side. Then for the audio there is another Hdmi output on the DVDO Edge, this is an...

This is great to see this and get a better idea what they were offering; Nice idea to put the left and right speakers there... however, NOT good, sorry. Being so close to the side wall you will end up with bad reflections and therefore making it difficult to get good audio in your home...

No need to apologise, there is a lot to digest. The AppleTV is in reality a computer in a small box but with no keyboard or mouse input. I has an internal HDD and an operating system. So the 'standard' i.e un-hacked AppleTV can either store various files.... music, video & photo files. It...

Yes, once you own the AppleTV you can put Boxee on it. If it ever needs to go back to service under warranty you can un-install Boxee easily. So no need to worry. Agree about the receiver bit... I think more likely they will add more of these features to the Blu-ray player. Already there...

Hey Edmond, I did some checking on the projectors the two stores suggested. The Optima HD803 is an old model and ceased production in March of this year... so they are trying to sell off an old models on you. Did they tell you this? Added to that it is not such a great projector anyway...

Fantastic you can handle doing some software hacks, this means your going to love having an AppleTV option, let me know what you think once you see a demo in the store and just remember that it's functionality will be expanded heaps once you have installed Boxee

Most definitely YES

Edmond, I checked if TiVo can play rmvb files but sadly it can't. I was thinking all you would need for your system would be a Blu-ray and a TiVo but those pesky rmbv files are causing trouble. I found this small player on eBay Australia... [url=http://tinyurl.com/cokhb9] It will play rmbv...

Phew.... .rmvb are real media video files, now you really have me thinking . The Western Digital Media player deos not handle these files, my software hacked AppleTV however does handle this type of file... in fact virtually ever file type in the world is handled. So... what to do that's user...

Edmond, the Panasoic BD60 is not available yet in Australia, it's a replacement for BD-55 which we don't have at all... typical Australia missing out on the good stuff. I suggest you wait to purchase your receiver & Blu-ray player until your home theatre is complete, this way you can get the...

G'day, I'm in Melbourne, not sure what store I could recommend for Sydney other than maybe Len Wallis Audio ( Len Wallis Audio Blog ) because they seem to have a very good reputation. I visited there many years ago and they were excellent. Of course if this is one of those stores you have...

Hey Edmond, me again... I checked the Denon user manual which is available on line and I cannot find any mention of it being able to stream video files of any kind. It can stream audio files though. I'm not sure off hand what receiver can do what your looking for at a reasonable price but...

Phew... I'm glad your still searching and researching... OK, let's start with movies plus some TV. So you have a Blu-ray player on your list so this is a good start for movies. My suggestion is certainly don't spend $1,300 on one... this must be the most expensive Blu-ray player available...

STOP STOP..... I sure hope you didn't sign anything today. I'm in Australia and a quick check shows you would be over paying considerably on many of the items you listed, although some are listed at less than RRP you can still do better. There are some very good suggestions and...
