Mains--NHT 2.9 Center-Boston Acoustics VR-12 ( neutral in tone and outstanding performance so chose to keep in main system). Rears-Definitive BPX Bipolar Rear Ctr-Klipsch RB-15 reference series (wasn't using the pair so why not!!) Subwoofer-Energy Exl-S10 Not brand matched...

The best and cheapest way to solve your problem is an inexpensive HI-FI vcr, you can get them dirt cheap brand new or see if a friend or relative may have one they don't use......Then use it as the cable/channel tuner and run the video to your tv and the audio to your stereo and your good to...

Its legit, I've know about it for some time, and they(AT&T) just began offering it in my area as well (SAT).....I've seem it in action at a friends house and its everything they claim it to be... The channel changing speed was very impressive, in fact "instant" changing with no lag time like on...

Toggle/Molly bolts will work fine...I've used them to mount 40" plasmas with no problems, and those weigh a lot more than 20lbs........................................Just make sure they pop open behind the wall and that you screw them tightly to the bracket............................

My recommendation would be to try it if it feels right and fits your budget...The specs seem pretty good, so why not???? As having just purchased a 27" LCD myself, the BB house brand "Insignia" , for use as a pc, gaming, and secondary video source in my living room, I must say that I'm pretty...

Seth, before you "correct" me, I understand the difference between "matrix" and true 6.1 or 7.1 surround and my answer referred to "true" DDEX/DTSES encoded material not "matrix" surround.

I have a very high end Denon recevier that I use as a pre/pro with seperate amps for all channels and I would never go back.. Although the Denon sounds outstanding with its own internal amps, I still prefer the seperates. But I agree, don't short change your center channel. Use seperates or a...

You will not get 7.1 surround unless your source material/dvd is encoded in 6.1 or 7.1 surround sound. Also make sure your dvd player and or satellite/cable box are hooked up using toslink/fiber-optic or digital coaxial connections to the receiver, and that the output settings are set to Dolby...

Yep, try a ground lifter plug,on the subwoofer or the projector, you can get them at any hardware store....................

Ed, I just recently started using my "high" end Denon receiver as a pre/pro by adding 3 stereo amps bridged to mono across the front and a stereo amp for the rears and the difference is night and day. Now I have always loved the sound of Denon receivers as being smooth and warm, but after going...

I wouldn't recommend you buy speakers on-line without hearing them first. Again these are what ultimately determine how your system sounds. Take the time and go LISTEN to various brands, and then look for the best deal on-line if you want.................

Russ, although you might notice a difference in performance of your system with a new receiver, based on your system I would recommend upgrading your speakers first, as they really determine how your system sounds and also the fact that while Sony is a great electronics company, they are not a...

Andrew, I have 3 stereo amps across the front that have the option to be "bridged" to mono, resulting in using only one channel(mono), but at greatly increased power, pretty much as Wayne explained it........

Andrew, I own a Denon AVR4802 and I recently went to seperates using three amps bridged to mono across the front 3 channels and a single stereo amp for the rears and I must say I'm sold on seperates now as the Denon is just a pre/pro now, even though I sometimes feel I'm wasting part of the...

I can confirm for you that I tried this years ago, when I started using S-VHS vcr's and it will work......Meaning, it will record in S-VHS on a standard vhs tape, but it does NOT look better than just using a S-VHS tape in the first place. The magnetic particles on an S-VHS tape are packed much...
