I was looking for a form online to get these, but the only one I can find says that the player must have been purchased by Jan 31, 2008. Is there a newer form out there for Canada?

I'm just about to take the jump and get a PS3 (taking back my Samsung player as they are the same price now) and just wanted a bit of clarification on the sound. If I'm running HDMI through my reciever, and the receiver can decode DTS HD and Dolby True HD (Onkyo 805 for example), will I be...

Same thing happened to me, but I got there at 4am for the 6am opening. First 10 people in line snatched them up. I ended up going to Best Buy and picking it up for $199. Still a good enough deal for me!

So I did it. I'm aware of the risks if BR wins the war. And after I read a little more (before I bought it), I saw that the players were able to play normal DVDs. Looks like my girlfriend just aquired my old player to replace her Walmart garbage I've nearly thrown through her window a few times...

I was hoping the war would end before I made a decision, but then I saw a Boxing Week sale at a local store and figured, for $99, I can't really go wrong. Should I get this? *edit, I guess I missed the thread right below mine asking pretty much the same question. Oops. haha How about...

The sub he has is actually mine that he borrowed. I have had mine set up in a few different places I've lived over the years, including my current home with a 13x13 room. I've gone to his place and listened and it's bizarre. There really isn't any oomph coming from the sub. I've cranked the...

I've come back to the experts. Finally bought a projector (Panny AE700) last year. The final piece of the puzzle. A friend of mine suggested that I hook up my computer to my projector to try out a couple racing games. So I ask, what is the easiest way to do this? I know my receiver (Yamaha...

Damn those thin black bars. :)

Ok, so as I mentioned in another thread, I built my screen (110" 16:9) and have been loving it. I built it 96" x 54". When I pop in a DVD, the menu fills the screen and looks like magic. But when the movie plays, there are always black bars. Movies that are 1:78:1 have small black lines on top...

I build my own. If nothing else, I think it's nicer looking than just the wall. It definitely has more wow factor when people see it hanging on your wall for the first time :). I bought screen material off ebay (110" diagonal) and built the frame and border myself. I was pretty pleased with...

I read of a projector that actually mounts to your wall a few days ago. It isn't out yet, but the idea was pretty snazzy. I'll try to find the link. *edit: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showthread.php?t=605987

Yeah, I'm just looking for something to allow the projector to cool down enough in such an emergency. Thanks a lot. You just saved me a lot of cash :)

I'm getting my first projector this week and was advised to get a UPS incase of power failure so the bulb has a chance to cool down properly. Well, after looking around, I've noticed that these aren't the cheapest things to buy. My question is, would these inexpensive ones designed for computer...

Ahh yes, the age old debate. Well, I'm posting this for a friend who has a pair of old Cervin Vega VS-120 front speakers. He runs them off a Kenwood receiver but it looking to upgrade that. He's wanting to know what he should get to get the most out of those speakers. He'd also like a sub as...

There's a dealer around here (Glubes ) that sells the Panny for around $3500 - . Another one sells the Infocus for $1500 (Fidelis).
