    Pay to repair reciever? Or best to buy new?

    Thanks for the responses guys. Thanks for the suggestions Ed. Yes, I do know it was setup correctly. And I usually do not buy from e-bay for the same reason. Ironicly this is the only time I've taken a chance with an ebay retailer and STILL got screwed. (not gonna go into the full...

    bump. Does anyone have anything to say about this? Or can someone at least point me in the right direction for more information? Thanks!

    3D - What's the big deal?

    Hey everyone. Once again I'm posting because I'm on the search for information. And with the recent push to 3D, I'm a little worried. You see, I just can't justify needing special glasses to watch any movie, in theater or in my home (as they have a tendency to give me headaches, and be...

    Ok, newb question about a subwoofer

    I couldn't say. Since I have a couple things to save for first. The SVS is at the bottom of the list since the others are higher priority. I don't anticipate being able to get an SVS before December of this year. Probably Jan or Feb next year with my tax return, depending on how things turn out...

    Ok, newb question about a subwoofer

    Yeah, I remember when Tom and Ron were on here posting several times per day, it's how I first heard about SVS. However, I'm not a DIY guy in a lot of things, woodworking being one of them. If I had the right tools and some close by help I probably would consider it, but right now that...

    Ok, newb question about a subwoofer

    Ok everyone. As some of you may or may not have seen in this thread, I currently do not have a subwoofer in my setup (see link for my existing setup, and upgrade plans). Now, ever since I got into Home Theater, I've had my heart set on a 20-39 PC Plus SVS that I can't afford yet. With...

    Upgrading my old Reciever - A question before I buy

    Hmm...so if I get the 606 then it shouldn't matter right? Or if it does matter, and the ones I'm looking at can't do that, what recievers should I look at?

    Upgrading my old Reciever - A question before I buy

    Hey everyone. I have an old Onkyo TX-DS494. It has served me well in its time, but the upgrade bug has bitten me to get upto date so my PS3 has some decent equipment to run with. I have been very happy with my Onkyo and plan to get another one. Either TX-SR506 or TX-SR606. Before I ask...

    HD Display Technologies Explination

    Thanks for the links. I have a question though, a friend of mine has an LCD (1080p Vizio) and my father has an SXRD. Whenever I see a 720p signal on my friends LDC it looks pixelized and grainy, which really only goes away when he turns on a 1080 HD source. I've never seen this issue on my...

    HD Display Technologies Explination

    I won't ask someone for a complete explination here (though if you have the time and inclination to do so, please do), but I'm looking for some sort of article or explination of the different types of display technologies (TV's only, no projectors), the pros and cons of each, and over all...

    Now confirmed development: Sony to discontinue rear-projection HDTVs

    Truthfully I haven't looked closely at it. I know its a RP of some kind, but I won't mess with it much because there are 2 things you NEVER mess with. 1) A mans girl, 2) a mans electronics. And he's been even worse about it since my little sister finnally moved out and it's only him and my mom...

    Now confirmed development: Sony to discontinue rear-projection HDTVs

    This is sad. My father has a 65" Sony DLP that I love. I like the picture SO much better than any LCD I've seen. Does this mean that my hopes for a SONY DLP next year are gone, and I should try to find an LCD that I'll settle with?

    Cheap 1080p HDTV

    Hmmm....Is dropping to 720p really worth it? I want the 1080p since my main input source will be my playstation/blu-ray player. Thanks for the ideas guys, keep em commin. :)

    Cheap 1080p HDTV

    In my current place, not far (around 5-6' tops). Though I'll probably be looking to actually purchace it in 2nd quarter next year, after I have moved somewhere else (TBD), so just assume around 5-6' for now.
