Get the add on HD player then.

For the most simple setup I recommend getting a set of stereo cables (red + white cables) and running them from your audio out output on the back of the television to the audio in on the back of your samsung receiver. Find the proper input on your samsung system where you hear the surround sound...

This is disturbing news for a big Onkyo fan such as myself. We are a factory direct store that stocks Onkyo and so far we've never had a single one returned. Hopefully Onkyo isn't another Kenwood story? Their THX Certified equipment is from what I hear the best you can buy. If you're not for the...

Onkyo TX-SR905. Ladies and gentleman, I present the solution to all of your problems.

Invest in either an LG SuperBlu, or in my honest opinion (having done a research paper on DVD technology) BluRay is the way to go, broken down the technologies are similar, use the same wavelength diode to read the disc, and are close enough to the same price. The biggest difference between the...

Don't under invest in a screen, it's more important than the projector. Certain screens make colors better and others (mostly cheap ones) will wash out the picture. Most people make the mistake of thinking that a cheap screen with a good projector will be the best way to do it for the wallet...

It's like the difference between USB 1.0 and USB 2.0, faster data transfer etc. Just buy the 1.3a wires.

It depends...do you have HDMI on the back of your 360? The newer premiums have them on there and so do the elites.

1.) As long as you buy a reputable brand, such as Sony, LG, Toshiba, Panasonic, Onkyo, etc. These make your DVD's look phenomenal, although from what I've seen most only up-scale through HDMI, so your tv must have at least one HDMI input. 2.) 1080p will look more detailed WITH A 1080P SIGNAL...

Like Allen said your tv's going to scale the image to fit it's resolution no matter what, and there is no physical way to reduce the resolution of your picture. On standard TV broadcasts, you should be receiving 480i but if you step up to HD all your signals will be broadcast in 1080i or 720p...

Are the surrounds an issue due to the wires you have to run? If so many HTIB systems around 300-400 offer wireless surround speakers that plug into a transmitter. At 350$ for a budget, a decent stereo system (stereo being the two speakers and that's it) you'll be hard pressed to find anything...

In store feeds (having worked at Sears Electronics for a year and a half) are shitty at best. They run compressed HD feed from a stream generator somewhere in the store through coaxial cable and split the connection about a hundred times. That's why that feed looks so bad, and some places tend...

Try it just direct feed to the TV and if it continues to do that try using the other HDMI cable for the Blu Ray Disc instead and then if the problem persists, try using the cable box on the first input and if it still does it, then its the TV, and in which case take it back if it's fairly new...

Couldn't agree more with you on the speakers, talk to anyone who's been into home theater and has had a great set of speakers they can be as old as 30 years, so when you buy them, buy them good, and treat them well. The anti-glare's on the panasonics aren't like that filter bright crap LG's and...

Do you know if your receiver "conditions" the video/audio signals going through it? By that I mean reprocessing the video feed so it looks better and in some cases increase the resolution (up-convert)?
