Just wanted to report a new DVD coming out in the Peanuts by Schulz series, this time being Happy Holidays, but TVShowsonDVD's Facebook page is reporting this to be coming out on 9/10/2019, but then ImportCDs and Deepdiscount has it coming out on 8/6/2019, so I'm going with the latter date and...

Or does it really matter ? I plan to upgrade my TV and receiver in the next few months, and was wondering which to do first. I'm waiting for the new TCL 4k 8 series to come out. Thanks.

Decided to go with a pioneer VSX-LX102. Seemed like a great deal $306. And 50$ for an additional 2 year warranty. It was down to two the other one was a vsx933. It was a renewed amp with only 90 days warranty. Couldn't add anymore. Then I found the 102 new . It looks like it has enough for for...

Disclaimer: long post(s) ahead...beware all ye who enter... You have been duly warned. Background As those of you who've met me know over the years at various HTF meetups know, I'm a relatively "normal" sized person for my height. Square in the range of "normal" BMI. But as I'm now in my...

New home theatre set up today. I used to work for Sony. So I had a good idea of what I wanted. In wall setup very pleased with it. 10" Polk audio subwoofer. I think it's lacking a little bit. But couldn't resist the price. I'll be adding a second subwoofer. 8" b&w waiting for a replacement amp...

Great news on this set! I’m hoping The New Avengers set comes to blu ray as well!! https://networkonair.com/coming-soon/3044-the-avengers-the-cybernauts-trilogy-blu-ray-?utm_source=Newsletter&utm_medium=Email&goal=0_154f425df9-c0206e1cca-37654189&mc_cid=c0206e1cca&mc_eid=03416e2640#

My screen is 87x37 2.35 format. My projector is going to be around 18 feet back. I have around $500 to spend, but I can't find a projector that will throw this far. Everyone I'm finding wants me from 10 to 12 feet away, any idea's

There are conflicting stories regarding the exact date, but after issue #10 (the "new" numbering) it will consist of reprints with new covers. A nice 67 year run that I'll bet no one envisioned in 1952! https://www.cnn.com/2019/07/04/media/mad-magazine-cease-publication-trnd/index.html

The greatest Ealing comedy and one of the all-time greatest British films has just been upgraded. I just did a quick comparison between the new region 'B'-locked 4K restoration of Kind Hearts & Coronets and the one previously released in 2011. To my eyes, the differences in picture quality are...

Hi, total beginner here so forgive me if I make no sense! I have a new Marantz SR6013 and I want to connect it to my non-ARC TV HDMI. I am also connecting a Blu-Ray and my DirecTV. Again, I have HDMI but it is not ARC. If I use a Digital Audio Cable, from my TV to the AVR, will all sound come...

Hi All, I need to replace my ailing Pioneer SC-1523 Receiver. My old LSi speaker system is 4 ohm. I am pulled between getting a Marantz 6013 with AB amps or the Pioneer SC-701 with Class D3 Amps. I have a sales person telling me I would be making a mistake by getting away from...

I moved into a new house, it was a model home in the past in the community. I found that there are built in speakers in 3 different rooms. Downstairs, there is a cabinet with wires for the speakers (I need to figure those out too). But we also noticed that there is a wifi being transmitted in...

We've just bought our first home (yay!) and finally have the freedom to do with it as we please. I'm looking for some advice on how best to orient our space within a few constraints. I've had this projector in various rentals for a few years now and I'm looking forward to having it set up as...

Some of you may already be familiar with my 4K issue with my Pioneer SC67. I purchased a 4K DVD player to replace my failing Sony Bluray player and the new player was unable to pass both video and audio through the same HDMI output. To use the player in my system I had to run a second HDMI...

Hot on the heels of Sony announcing the PS5...console wars aren't dead yet, it seems. "4 times more powerful than XBox One X", which I own and have been pretty happy with. Both Sony and MS have learned their lessons and using SSDs in their next gen. I have external SSDs for my XB1X and it's a...

Looking for a big set and this one fas perfectly but I was not so pleased with the picture quality of the older 6570 model from LG. I can get this set for at least $500 less than the Sony 850G and I prefer the apps and software from LG over Sony.

Hello all, A new book was recently published about Ross Bagdasarian Jr. (aka David Seville), the creator of Alvin and the Chipmunks. It looks at The CBS Alvin Show from 1961-1962 in the book, which aired on CBS in prime time, Saturday mornings, and then syndication. Nick ran segments from the...

Consume... Can't say that I care too much for the cover art on either of them, but I'm looking forward to screening these!!!

I did not see this coming. https://512pixels.net/2019/05/2019-macbook-pros/

Just an observation. I've been browsing new receivers just to see what's available and I'm noticing that the high end models don't seem to be THX certified. I'm not really in the market right now but it appears that becoming THX certified is less important to the manufacturers as it used to be...

I have a client with a Sony R2500 receiver with a dual cassette player and 5 disc CD changer connected to their Xfinity cable box and I forget what the TV is. The audio is connected from the cable box to the stereo and the tv is connected via an HDMI cable. On the remote there is an "All Power"...

Hello! New user here hoping to get some advice and guidance. I am currently starting a project to finish my attic and plan to make it a combined rec space and home theater. The floorplan is a 38' x 28' colonial so a 45 degree roof pitch up to a 7' flat ceiling with a staircase splitting the room...

Thank you for the add to this forum. Recently acquired a new Denon receiver AVR x1200w. Paradigm speakers and Bic F12 subwoofer. Currently experimenting with Atmos front height speakers. I have a Sony x930e 55 in television. So far very impressed with this receiver and the television is amazing...

Hello all! We've recently sold our home so I'm building an equipment list for the media room in our new home. Our current house has a great dedicated HT setup built by the previous owners. 100" screen, ceiling mounted projector and speakers, HT seating with a 2nd row riser, dark paint, etc...

Greetings from Mexico. After 11 years of living in an Internet wasteland, with service being below 2 mg download, making streaming a 50/50 opportunity at best, our area south of Guadalajara is getting fiber optics. Around 50 mg download! So upgrading from my Onkyo HT R391 is a better option...

Did some eBay searching. Looks like you can still get a LD player, even a new one. I put up a link in the Bargains & Deals Forum. Was tempted to jump on it myself but I don't own a LaserDisc. I figured someone here at HTF has LDs they'd still like to play and thought I'd post this info for...
