    I know this is a ancient post, but what did you end up doing? I currently have a project coming up (in the planning stages now) where the customer has no place for a center channel except for in the ceiling (they don't want a subwoofer anywhere either....so gonna have to be sending bass to the...

    Samsung FAIL

    So on Christmas Eve my 31 month old Samsung LCD tv died. It started out as a black 8th inch dead pixel line from top to bottom, from there a 3 inch white vertical line and then finally a grainy mess all the way across the TV. So I called up Samsung the day after Christmas and got no where cause...

    HELP, I need the factory settings off your TV!!!

    Just a FYI for everyone, my TV (Samsung LN55B650) and Blu-Ray Player (Samsung BD-C5500) is HDMI 1.3. My AVR (Denon DHT-591) is HDMI 1.4. These specs shouldn't make any difference but I wanted to put them out there.

    HELP, I need the factory settings off your TV!!!

    @ schan1269 - You are completely right, I should not have been messing around with the service menu sound (or anything in the service menu for that matter) settings. But, it was late and I was tired of the issue and my brain was not working properly....lame excuse I know :-) I did however look...

    HELP, I need the factory settings off your TV!!!

    @ Jason Charlton - I'm not running any sound out of the TV. The problem is, the sound that comes out of my home theater speakers happens before the picture. When someone says "yes", you hear the sound and then about a half second to one second there mouth will move and you can see they said yes...

    HELP, I need the factory settings off your TV!!!

    So I was watching Sherlock Holmes (Game Of Shadows) last night on Blu-Ray and the lip sync (sound after picture) was really bad!! So I pulled up the menu on my AVR (Denon 591) and adjusted the delay to the max (200ms) and it was a little better, but still off. So I grabbed my Watchman Blu-Ray...

    Home Theater In A Box or Buy Speakers and Receiver Seperately

    Go with the Denon DHT-591BA. . . .about $100 cheaper but sounds WAY BETTER!!! If I had to choose between Onkyo Speakers(not known for there speakers) and Boston Acoustics, I would pick the Boston Acoustics. Just my opinion. CB750 was right on about the speakers though. Everyone's ears are...

    Harman Kardon & Bose problem :(((

    I'm afraid there is no fix. I have a similar problem that I'm trying to resolve for a customer who installed a Bose Speaker System with a Harman Kardon AVR. Except with him, it's the front's left and right that shut off(or at least i can't get any sound out of them). I was on the phone with Bose...

    ISF Calibration, Yes Or No?

    Well I called up Desco Audio And Video and I found out that Samsung is not a ISF "stamped" product. Meaning, it is not a ISF Certified Product. . . . .I thought that was odd!! Oh well. . . .maybe I'll check into the THX that Gregg Loewen suggested. . . .I will keep y'all posted. . . . . . . . ...

    Home Theater In A Box. . . . .What Should I Get?

    My living room is 15x17(i was off by about 200SQF). I had a JBL system(SCS145.5) and it worked okay but the satellites were too small. I know that whatever I get is not going to be my Klipsch Synergy's but just something that will sound more full than my tv speakers. What about the Onkyo...

    Nevo or Logitech?

    You read my mind mattCR. I have mainly installed/sold Harmony 1100's and 900's. I have never had really any problems with the Logitech Harmony remotes and have never had a call back. The only thing I have heard some clients complain about is that the Logitech Harmony Remotes are...
