Does anyone know of an iPod dock that allows remote control and hooks to any receiver? It's a tall order, I know. I was hoping to find one that hooks to a receiver via RCA plugs or the mini audio plug. I'm using a regular audio mini plug-to-rca cable but I would really like to change songs...

Hi guys. I just got a new 56" JVC HDILA 1080p set yesterday and since I don't have cable, I wanted to try one of those HD antennas to pick up local HD channels. Do these work well? Which one would you recommend? Thanks

Hey guys. I'm looking to get this set in the near future and I'm wondering if it requires frequent bulb changes? Is it like a DLP? Thanks

Does it make THAT huge of a difference using expensive RCA connectors over cheaper ones? I'm looking for some for my component cables. They will be behind wall plates and not visible. Does it matter if I buy some average ones from Radio shack? I wanted to order some from parts express but it...

Does anyone use IR transmitters or RF extenders in their theaters? I'd like to get on for my home since I will have the av gear in a seperate closet. Would this http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showd...number=180-827 work with a Harmony? Would it be better to use one of those IR Transmitters from...

I need help with terminating some component cables. I have several RG6 cables I want to use to run component lines through some walls. I'd like to know if I can get some good RCA terminals and use them for this? Is it hard to do? I need to do the same with a sub cable as well. Now that the audio...

Hi everyone. My home SHOULD be complete by Nov 15 and I have afew questions about my prewired system. I have my theater/family room downstairs. The av gear will be in a closet and the rear speakers are in ceilings that I bought from www.htd.com The fronts will be floor standing and a center...

I saw another post about these inexpensive in wall speakers. The price is great at Parts Express and I'd like to order 3 pairs of the 6.5" round in ceilings. Two for my HT surrounds and the other four for around house music. Do they have good sound quality?

My new home is near completion and I need to figure out how to hook up 6 in celing speakers, which will only play music, to a receiver so that they all output the same signal. I have an old JVC 5.1 receiver that I considered using but I never thought about the hook ups! Should I get a cheapo...

Is is good to put a sub in the closet? My home is being built with the AV stuff in a closet. The only thing visible will be the screen of course and main speakers. I want to know if having the sub, it's an 8" Velodyne, in the av closet, with the door closed will sound weird. Ideas?

Hi everyone. Quick cable question. I'm having a new home built starting in May or June and I'd like to have my Speaker and Component video, S-video cables run through wall so that I can hide the av rack in a closet. Question is, what's a good cable to use? I'm going to talk with a few HT...

what happened to your theaters section? i used to look at them all the time for ideas.

I have a Toshiba SD4800 dvd player hooked a a fairly entry level RCA Hdtv-projection. It runs 480p and 1080i and when I have the DVD Player running in progressive, movies like Toy Story and any CGI movie have ugly visible scan lines. Switching to interlaced makes it better but everything gets...
