I was about to buy the HT-RC160 but bought the TX-SR607 when their price difference briefly diminished to a few dollars. I could not be more happy with it. There is little difference between the two - the HT-RC160 is just as "serious" a receiver as the other. The most important different feature...

I'd keep an eye on Craigslist - I've seen some unbelievably good deals from people upgrading to 7.1 and/or HDMI. These systems are usually too big or inconvenient to ship so they don't show up on eBay, where they typically become overpriced in a hurry. Unfortunately there's a lot of people...

Ditto Ed's recommendation for the Onkyo. I have their 607 which I believe is identical, except it is built for 7.2 audio. It's a little under $400. I'm very pleased with it. Also consider the HT-RC160 which is nearly identical to the 607 for a few less dollars. It just omits the Sirius...

A couple more lousy pictures showing a bit more mount detail...

Here you go glassjoe. The pictures aren't very good - my good camera was stolen and this one doesn't have any manual settings but you get the idea. I used a flash for the projector pictures and there's a reddish hue. The lens cover is placed on top of the projector so you can't really see much...

Thanks for the tip Greg. If placing the projector in the center of the projected image area is ideal, and therefore shifting it using the lens shift results in a less than ideal image, how exactly does this degradation manifest itself? In other words, will it be impossible to have everything in...

Seems to happen every year about this time [/url] RL - I see that the prices have come down and a few places are selling them at the $2300 price point - good news for me! I think I am going to get the Chief RPA-181 ceiling mount which has a mount plate specifically for this Panny projector. I...

Oh one more thing to note... Panasonic is offering to double their standard one year warranty for the 3000U if you buy one by the end of the month. For what it's worth.

I do now! [/url] You guys DO know the AE3000U replacement has been announced, right?

I am planning to ceiling mount mine but I need to get a few pieces of hardware first, after which I'll decide on an optimum placement - it will likely be between 14 and 18 feet from the screen. The rearmost seats are about 22 feet back. Projector People is including a free ceiling mount with...

I agonized over this purchase literally for years. The number of variables is daunting, but I eventually arrived at the same conclusion as you. A screen or display with the dimensions I need would be prohibitively expensive. My Panasonic projects a nice bright image about ten feet wide (BIG...
