Hey guys, Thanks for the feedback and compliments - we really appreciate it! Yea, I've been so busy lately that I've been able to watch about 2 movies down there in the past 2 months.....hahah - oh well, there's plenty of time! Thanks again, Matt!

Hey all, My wife has wanted to paint the theater black, so this weekend that's what we did. Here are some pics before all of the decoration are up (posters, pics, etc).... I like it! You'll notice a red accent wall as well. (please don't mind the low-res pics, hi-res pics will follow)...

Hey all, I have a new Mitsubishi WS-65315 65" CRT RPTV. I love it. I have calibrated my TV with DVE - so my brightness and contrast is ok. The other night i was flipping through channels. When i got to CNN which has a logo, the batteries fell out of the remote. So there I was stuck with...

Hello.... The mirror was REALLY expensive and is part of the room... I just wanted something to cover it while I watched movies "in theater mode." The sound is is great! There is no "empty space" sound in that section anymore. Since the ceiling is soundproof -- this is a nice compliment. I...

Hey all, In the rear of my theater, I have a giant mirror on the back wall. It's about 4'x15'. About 25 feet away (the other end of the theater) is my 65" mitsubishi HDTV. I have a 6.1 setup, and the surround backs are on the back wall above the mirror.... Anyway, i realize that this mirror...

Hey all, I have this surround setup -- and am extremely happy with it: http://cerwinvega.com/products/homea...ies/avs51.html Now, My question is -- I am trying to properly set the crossover in the receiver, and I want to find out what the Hz range is for the main loudspeakers. The spec...

Hey all, I have a new Pioneer VSX-515-K 6.1 receiver. I decided to go with the 2 rear center-back setup. Now, I know everything is hooked up correctly -- however, when I go to receiver setup (which allowed me to choose 7.1) and do the manual test tone level adjustments, it seems that when...

Hello... I figured it out -- There is a Progressive Out buttom onthe front of the unit. Once that is pressed, i can toggle from the dvd player. If it's not pushed, the toggle within the player does nothing. For some reason it seems that when you toggle the progressive out to off from the...

Hey all, I have my New Panasonic receiver about 4 or 5 inches to the left of my new RPTV. In the past, i would have thought nothing of this, but in reading the manual for the receiver it said not to place the receiver on top of TV's as it may cause magnetic interference. That made me wonder...

Hello, Ok -- I have a question. I just bought the Pioneer VSX-515-K (you can see the exact specs here: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/p...etailComponent). It's advertised as 6.1 on the box. But many times in the manual it mentiones how to set it up for 7.1. It also has 2 (two) seperate...

Hey all, I just bought a new Mitsubishi 65" WS-65313. I love it! Now i understand that there is a red-push issue and it can be easily fixed with an attenuator. I hear people talk about this all the time, but i have never actually seen one for sale. Where can you get one for cheap? I have...

Hey, Thanks -- i'll check the begining of Ghostbusters -- when they pan across the steps of the Library (with the stone Lions in front). I always remembered seeing terrible "jaggies" there.... Later, Matt

Hello, Thanks for the info Jeff -- the problem is, however, that when i switch back and forth now, there is no wavy lines or anything. - so it seems like nothing is changing. And I can't tell if the picture ever went back from the "lower", interlaced signal, even when progressive is enabled...

Hello.... I am looking to buy 8 non-crimp banana clamps for my 6.1 receiver. I prefer the wrap around, or the screw together type -- this way I can reuse it.... However, the cheapest place I thought i could find these was radio shack, but they wanted $8 for 1 (one) set. I thought that was...

Hello again... Ok, i actually had a few minutes to sit down and look through some of the settings on my dvd player (Panasonic RP-82) and new TV (Mitsubishi WS-65315). I went to the setup in the DVD player, and Progressive output was enabled. I decided to disable it to see what happened -- the...
