Hi everyone, my name is Luke and I love everything about home theater. I first started in the days of VHS, and Betamax. I have a super 7 channel 2D theater right now, but I am moving to Southern California where I am starting my 120 inch 3D theater. I installed home theaters for a while, and would love to help out anytime.
Again,
Thanks
Luke

Welcome to HTF, Luke! I started with VHS, too. Graduated to laserdisc, DVD, HD-DVD, and blu-ray. Started with stereo, then Dolby ProLogic, then Dolby Digital, then DTS, then THX Ultra 2 with all the bells and whistles. I have maxed out at a 73-inch 3D DLP.
Tell us about your theater, and what is going into your new one!

Thanks for the welcome Steve. And merry Christmas. I have an Epsom 3010 projector, 120 inch fantom screen, definitive cls2300 center, 7004 towers, supercube 2, and four pro800s. I currently have a Yamaha RX-Z7, which is not 3D, hdmi 1.4, nor is it 4k. I am currently looking for a nice receiver. The Onkyo 818 is down to 679 dollars. Very tempting, however I have only owned Yamaha for a very long time. Very hard decision. Help!!! The projector is replacing a Samsung 8500 55"

I've heard good things about Onkyo. My big rig upstairs is a Denon 5803, which was their flagship receiver when it was first released. My downstairs rig is an old Yamaha DSP-A1, and it is on its way out because it won't stay on. So I'll be replacing that with a basic 5.1 receiver of some sort next year. Something that handles Airplay would be nice.
Merry Christmas to you!

Welcome! I just put my 120" screen in and am looking at the 3010's replacement, the 3020, or more likely it's big brother, the 5020. Pretty sure I need the shift capability on the 50!

Didnt even know they made a 5020. Must be a pretty penny.

5020(if that is the number progression Onkyo uses...could be 5011) won't be out till next Aug/September...
Here is the current one...real hard to look up to...my fingers were all sweaty and trembling from the whole 5 seconds it took...

Ah lol I thought you were talking Yamaha receivers. Yeah, 50 series is nice. Out of my price range. What exactly does the "shift" do?

Sam Posten · Dec 27, 2012

Without the shift functions you need to move the projector around to get it to match up with the screen. With shift you get to move a little joystick around on the front (or top!) of the box that moves a set of mirrors and/or prisms in the light path that shift the image so that your PJ doesn't have to physically move to line up with the screen.

Brainwasher · Dec 27, 2012

That's what I thought, I can manage manually adjusting it. Esp for that price diff

Sam Posten · Jan 2, 2013

Most people don't have that much flexibility in PJ placement. I know I don't!
