I had missed this part! It is awesome! I'll try that! Thanks a lot!

Thanks for your replies!! Well, it kind of sucks, but I feel less stupid now :-) I'm usually comfortable with computers and electronics and missing this thing would have hurt my geek's pride :-) Thanks for your answers, I'll get the digital cable! Davide

Hi All! Compared to my initial plans, I spent a little more on Video and a little less on Audio (also because craigslist was not very fruitful in my area in the last couple of weeks)... I ended up with P55VT-50 display and a HTiB for audio, the Onkyo HT-S9400. I have a problem with ARC. I...

After a couple of weeks of testing and experimenting, I must say the VT-50 is incredible. With 1080p from Vudu the images look stunning, very deep blacks, hardly any noise even in "aggressive" picture modes such as vivid, sharpness even if I put my eye one foot off the display. No motion blur at...

Thanks for the reply! 1) Will study the specs of DVD-A and SACD! Thanks 2) The Dolby range (22 to 30) I can totally do. The THX range (45) would require me to put a speaker in the middle of a door, then I guess I'll stick to Dolby 3) I'll put the subwoofer on the left side of the TV, I have some...

Hi All! I just got a 55" TV and I'm now planning the audio part. I collected your wise advices in this thread. Current status is: Receiver: Onkyo 809 (or comparable model I find on craigslist) Front speakers: Infinity Primus 363 towers Subwoofer: a ported enclosure SVS, exact model TBD Here are...

Hi All, thanks a lot for your suggestions! I followed your advice and went to a store specialized in TVs (videoonly.com they have stores in California, Oregon and Washington). While at Best Buy they let me wait for half an hour, then they said that they could not give me the remote, at Video...

Thanks for your reply! The question is: why does Panasonic make such great TVs and then lets them look bad in showrooms by not properly adjusting them? Mysteries of life I guess... :-) Do you know any electronics chain in US where you can play with the remote? Apparently Best Buy does not make...

Hi All! This is my second thread on this wonderful forum. I got your help choosing my audio system, now it's TV time! From my web search on specs and reviews, I had narrowed it down to three Panasonic 55" plasmas: the VT50, the GT50 and ST50. I went to Best Buy because I wanted to see them side...

Oops... I posted before refreshing - you had replied before I re-replied :-) Thanks for that. I also see that Interludes are very hard to find and can only be had 10 years old or more. I'll look at the BIC on the basis of your newly added info. Otherwise, it will be Primus. Thanks again!

OK, I did some research and I got the point - Interludes are way better. I'll look for them! Best

Thank you all for the very precious and wise advice!!! I'll look very closely at used stuff for the next few weeks, including the Swans. If I don't find anything that I like, I'll consider the new and here is where I stand on that after the research I did on the products you mentioned: BIC DV: I...

In general, my configuration starts shaping up (excluding the speakers, where I'm totally lost): AVR: Onkyo 809: $ 469 TV: Panasonic Viera P55ST50: about $ 1000 Sub: SVS model 12 or 1000, ported or sealed (depending on your advices): $ 499 to 769, depending on model Speakers: I DO NOT KNOW...

Thank you so much to Schan, AI.Anderson and Gene C! For some reason, I was expecting it... :-) Thanks! It makes a lot of sense :-) Thanks, I think that settles it. I was actually planning on getting 4 identical speakers for front and surround, it should work! I did! :-) I really like the SVS...

Hi Mccambley and Schan! Thanks a lot for your replies and my apologies for taking so long to reply! You pointed me the right direction and I did a bit of research on the forum. Here is where I stand and my more recent, slightly less noob-like questions. In general Forgetting about...

EDIT - I DID SOME SEARCHING ON THE FORUM - SCREW THE CERTIFICATION - I JUST NEED ADVICE ON A HOME THEATER SYSTEM THAT DELIVERS GOOD PERFORMANCE, CINEMA-LIKE SOUND PRESSURE AND CLARITY IN MY LIVING ROOM. Hi All! I'd like to set up a Home Theater System. My living room is 13 x 18 feet (about 4 x 6...
