Polk Audio makes a single stereo in ceiling speaker for like $75 bucks. Thats $225 for the speakers, another $50 for the speaker selector and you can find a basic audio receiver for around $100-129. n So for around $350-400 you can get her set up. 100 feet of 16/4 speaker cable will run you...

If your friend has a drop ceiling, I would strongly consider using ceiling mounted speakers. Ceiling mounted speakers are not obtrusive , and blend into the ceiling. The room is small enough that you can get away with one speaker per room, but 2 speakers would fill the room and you would get...

Eric, An HDMI Matrix switcher will do the trick for you. Monoprice has em.

You can use a 3.5 mm jack to 2 rca males into the back of your STB. You can plug your headphones into the 3.5mm jack and audio from your Dish Net box should be outputting.

When do you think he will get a cell phone??. I haven't seen all the episodes yet as last Sunday's is still on my DVR, but it seems like if you ever miss an episode or two, you will not be left in the dark.

You would need to run a cable from your "audio out" from tv to your stereo receiver audio input. Most TVs will have either a toslink (fiber optic), digital audio, or analog audio (2 rcas) that would run to your receiver

Rene, Sadly, I think, you will have to get a Set Top Box from your cable company. The Coaxial cable would go in to the back of the STB. From there, you would need to run a composite video cable from STB to projector. You would also need to run rca cables for the audio to go from STB to...

negative. You cannot adjust the auto off in the menu section.

Jeramy, The menus are easy to navigate on Uverse, i think you will find them easy to use. There are a couple of negatives that i have found with the UVerse. First off, When i had DTV, I would leave TV on for dog while i was at work. When I would do this with my Uverse, it shuts itself down...

Uninstall the Intel software and let windows do the managing. - I had the same issue with some cisco wifi set up software.

I like the idea of placing components in a closet as well. You would still need an RF remote for the Sat receiver. You would need to run 2 source cables to the flat panel to wherever your components will sit.

I guess it depends on how you are using your computer. If you are watching a lot of movies and shows and want to experience surround sound, I would consider moving the computer out from the corner, or even just angle the computer in the corner. In either case, just set up your logitech 5.1 in...

What about plugging in your computer speakers into the headphone jack of your stereo? If it is a 1/4", you can convert down to 3.5mm.

Could you run audio out from tv to your receiver. This way, anything that is seen on your TV can be heard through your receiver

Some Cable Remote controls will allow you to learn other devices and once that is done, you can program it to turn down a specific item, ie, your stereo receiver. The default setting is usually for the TV, but you should be able to tell your cable remote when it is turning down volume, to turn...

My Boss gave me a pair of Klipsch outdoor speakers and I couldn't be happier. Granted they were free, but I think after listening to them, I wouldn't hesitate pulling the trigger on them. Mine are white, but they come in black as well. I have them connected to a second zone on my Denon 2808...

I use K-lite - just check to see what it is installing before you install.

I just replaced my 57" Mits DLP with the 60" Sharp Aquos from Costco. I too have the same set up, sitting about 10 feet from display. I have noticed that the Sharp LED has a much better picture, especially when viewing from the side. I didn't go 3D yet as I can't imagine wearing those glasses...

I have seen component cables for Wii on the internet. I don't imagine it will be hi def, but, it will plug into your component port of your HD TV

That really sounds like a ground loop. Here is a great wire-up on troubleshooting that issue. http://www.audioholics.com/tweaks/connecting-your-system/ground-loops-eliminating-system-hum-and-buzz

If you are getting a picture the HDMI cable is fine. Id start with the DVD player .

So far you are 0-3. Nashville is looking tough. Also don't count out the Blues. They look tough and they have the goaltending

What kind of room is this equipment going into? If you are building a "man cave" in a basement, you would be good with either plasma or projector. Daylight is not kind to plasma displays as the glass screen picks up glare from sunlight. I have been looking at some LEDs for my mom as she wants...

I've seen a number a places that sell speaker wire by the foot. No need to buy excess when not needed

I haven't done any additions to my system in almost 4 years. That being said, I am not sure how much I want to throw at an amp. Maybe find one on Craigslist or something like that. I may look at Cr*tchfield and see what they have, but not looking to spend more than 2-300 bucks

I'm looking for a crisper, cleaner sound, so I was thinking if I added some watts to the party, they would sound better. They already sound really good. Just going for Really, really good

Oh yes.

I want to run 2 separate amps to my Klipsch loudspeakers. All I need is a 2 channel amp. The question is, which amp? I currently have a Denon 2808 receiver and would like to see if speakers sound better with more power. Any thoughts or ideas, please let me know

I have been involved in low voltage audio/video applications for over 15 years and like to share what I know and always like to learn new things.
