I would like to know if there is anybody using Amazon Alexa to operate any of the new new 2018 Yamaha receivers.?

Bob, I am interested to find out if you found what the problem is with your machine. I am considering picking up this sanyo model for myself. Dave

Looking for some feedback from owners of the Sanyo PLV-Z5 model. Currently considering picking up one of these for my first projector. Would appreciate your impressions of this machine. Tks Dave

Can somebody help me with this question. In the process of upgrading the tv/movie room with a projector, but in the meantime the room has an older Sony RPTV (46") Not HD. Is it worth getting the HXA2 for watching regular DVD's or am I better off waiting until I have the projector? Is it worth it...

I read that in a review about the pixel issue. My setup would have me sitting about 14 ft from screen and projector at 13ft approx. Do you think it would be much of an issue at that distance. Tks Dave

Considering this projector. Does anybody have one and what is your opinion of the unit. ( Picture, quality, setup, hrs on bulb, etc.)

Where is the best location for the center channel speaker with a projector and screen setup. On the top of the screen which will be not far from the ceiling or at the bottom of the screen, about 2 ft from floor. Tks

I currently have a room that has the wiring wired into the ceiling for a projector. Now that HDMI is on the scene I wish that i had installed an electrical conduit pipe through the joists in the ceiling to where the projector is to be located back to the room behind this room. That way I could...

If the wall board is a bit off of the floor the wire will fit in nicely on back of the baseboard. If not you can always...

I checked a Yamaha receiver and the HDMI had 3 inputs 1 output on some models.

Thanks for the great info. Dave

So tell me if i am saying this right. If the projector has HDMI. This would connect to the DVD player and the HDTV/Digital cable box would connect to the receiver or would both connect to the rec. How many inputs/outputs are there on a receiver for HDMI these days?

Digital Cable, Digital Satellite (DSS), HDTV To actually see an HDTV program in high definition you must use component video (or RGB). ... if so would you only use the HDMI cable for a HD player such as Blue Ray for 1080p signal?

Trying to get a handle on this HDMI format. The ?'s I have are. (1) Is HDMI the only one that will carry the digital signal for A/V? (2) Will component cables carry 1080i, is that the limit? (3) How much better is HDMI to component? ( Video part ) (4) Is 1080i alot better than 720p? I...
