I have a new Sound Blaster Audigy that has EAX 3.0. MY speakers have several modes: Dolby Digital Quad Pro Logic Stereo Stereo x2 I have a 4.1 speaker setup. What mode(s) support the EAX games best? I am assuming Dolby Digital is best? or is Quad supposed to be the one? any input would...

Yeah, it's hard to compare because it take a cople minutes to switch audio tracks on the DVD, switch modes on the receiver and find the exact spot on the DVD to compare. By the time you do that you forget what the other track sounds like. Not like an on/off switch! ;) Thanks for the input...

I bought an Onkyo TX-NR900 and it's great. Trouble is that all the sound mosed sound awesoem and I trully can't tell the difference between them. For example, Lord of the Ringd Extended version has the DTS 6.1 Discrete sound setting, the end all of codecs, right? Sounds great yes, but I really...

Just to followup with you all. The guy came out on Saturday and played around with the cable box outside for a bit and came back inside. I told him I had a splitter in the attic, which he hooked up his gizmo to and said the lower channels had a "14 over 1" signal, meaning it was good. But he did...

Bob, leave out the splitter or the booster? I assume you meant the booster.

Get this.... I went into my attic and was going to put the 2 way splitter on when I thought I would try and just skip the splitter all together (for a test). I took the incoming line, boosted it and sent it straight to my living room. It looked just as good/bad as when it had the 5 way spliter...

Well, I did (to an extent) The source of the cable came from the attic, split to 5 areas. I removed 3 of the cables from the splitter and terminated those ends (on the splitter). The only remaining cable was one of two in the living room. One was being used, the other was not, so I capped the...

Well, so far not too much of a difference. The booster helped a little bit, I didn't notice any difference after terminating the unused connections at the splitter. I will try Wayne's advice using a 2 way splitter and if that doesn't do the trick, Adelphia is getting a call. I did check the...

thanks for all the replies. I put the amp in the attic, right before the line gets split into 5 directions. Right not, I am only using 2 of the 6 connections in the house. I'll go to Radio Shack and get the termination resistors and put them on the unused outlets and see how that works too...

I bought a cable signal booster (pretty good one) and was wondering where the most ideal placmanet would be for it? Should I find the closest point of source, near where it enters the house? Should I boost it right before it gets split? Boost it right near the TV? Thanks.

Thanks guys! I'll be enjoying some movies later this evening, knowing I've got the best setup now. Thanks.

I've read several posts about the 2 and have seen conflicting info. Here is my situation: I have a 4 year old Toshiba DVD player that has an optical output that I am using. I just bought a nice Onkyo receiver (TX-NR900) that supports practically every format out there. If I want the best...

I too have been waiting, and will likely get the Sammy DLP, when I save up enough money. A couple of you have mentioned a black bezel? I've only ever seen silver DLPs from Samsung. Do they offer one in Black?

My Mitsubishi 35" did when I first got it. I complained and a tech came out, opened up the back of the set and put glue on whatever widget was humming/buzzing/whatever you want to call it. It seemed to do the job. It went from annoying to normal. I can still tell it is on, but it was not...
