I haven't purchased a blu-ray/dvd player in many years and I know the technology has really moved along. I see that many of the players have built in apps like a Roku box. But do any of the players have an actual web browser? My TV in my family room does not, so it would be nice if we could...

Thank you for taking the time to try and answer my question.

Thank for the response John. I should probably have been clearer. I have one goal, to have a separate center channel for dialog. We end up having to turn the volume up and down constantly because we are losing dialog. I *think* having a center channel should help with that, instead of mixing...

I have a (somewhat) older JVC 37" TV in the family room (JLC37BC3000). It has 2 audio choices for the optical audio, PCM and Dolby Digital, no HDMI out. My current soundbar is 2.1 but I really want a center channel for dialog. I'm looking at a Samsung 3.1 soundbar. However, I don't know (and...

I was looking at the Yamaha RX-V379 receiver which looks like a good deal at that price point. However, the connectors are only the old spring clips (which frankly seems kind of dumb to me), and I have all my speakers with banana plugs. I would hate to have to redo that. Is there such a thing...

I need an opinion, not so much about a TV but about the deals available soon. I am looking at a Samsung UN65JU6400 4K set which I can pick up at Fry's for $1,200. My question: Are we now heading into the clearance season and I'll see better deals in the next several weeks? I don't shop AV...

By darker, I mean in night scenes you can't see *anything*. No point in arguing about it, if you don't have a suggestion as to why two very similar Blu-ray player work very differently, then you don't. I'm moving closer to throwing out my old TV. I *hate* to put perfectly servicable...

It does. But it was not properly implemented. The DVI is darker than the component.

I have an old Sony LCD TV in my family room that has no HDMI inputs. To get it to work with a Panasonic BT220 player, I got a converter box from Amazon. It worked fine. But my BT220 failed so I tried to hook up my older BT210 to the converter box. It didn't work, there was just noise. So I...

Thanks!!!!

Ok, so I have a DVD player, a cable box, and an old VCR. Do I hook them all up to the soundbar? Or do I just output the sound from the monitor to the soundbar? Thanks! Donald

I have to ask a super dumb question. I'm going to be getting rid of old speakers and with my new setup the spacing will be tight. So I thought of a soundbar. Can you hook one up to a receiver? My sense is not since the soundbar/woofer has it's own power source, but the receiver has much more...

I hate to put this all in one post, but I don't want to bore you guys to death either with post after post asking noob questions.   I'm finally about to bite the bullet and dump the VCR and the CRT TV. Actually I've had a DVD player for many years, but still used the VCR to record TV...
