Where are you seeing a 347 for $330? I've seen 247 for that price, but I'd be interested in looking at the 347 if I can get it for a comparable price to the Onkyo 605. -Rob

So I'm pondering replacing my aging, pre-DD receiver. Right now I'm looking at picking up a used Denon 2805 or a refurbished Onkyo 605. The price is essentially the same. I have a 5.1 setup and no plans to go to 7.1 anytime soon. The Onkyo has HDMI 1.3, but from the reviews I've read does a...

Given that my speakers at this point aren't likely to display the differences between a good turntable and a REALLY good turntable, both a Technics and the Pro-ject look like nice options. Generally speaking would it be better to spend more for a turntable (say the Pro-ject) and use the...

I am pondering the enjoyable listening experience of vinyl. In part this is nostalgia, but in part just the whole holisitc experience of listening to analog as opposed to digital media. Does anyone have any turntable recommendations? I don't have a golden ear, and my speakers are decent but...

In about 6 months we'll be replacing our DLP projector when we move. Projectors aren't an option, so we've started looking at new TVs. I am a fan of DLP, as neither my wife nor I see the rainbows, the price for size is the best, and the picture has always looked great to me. However, my wife...

Another question: Do the video cards in these HTPC's accept HD input from anything other than OTA? Can I plug digital cable into them? I highly doubt that they can deal with a satellite feed, is digital cable in the same boat (no place to put the card)? If they can't deal with the signal...

I have been a Mac user since college. I am also quite a geek, so I am not totally ignorant of the developments in the PC world. I am ignorant enough however that I need some help here. We'll be moving in about 6 months which will necessitate the replacement of our whole HT setup (no basements...

Anyone?

I have a Model B with CSR screen that has one fairly noticeable wrinkle. I am trying to investigate making or buying a tensioner, but haven't had much luck. The screen stays down nearly all the time if that helps matters any. I'd love to know where to look, I didn't find anything on Da-lite's...

I'm working on getting mine mounted soon. For future reference the DIY guide mentioned above is by monkey_man, searching monkeyman does you no good. At any rate my question is on the throw distance. Using the calculator on projectorcentral.com it tells me that for a 16:9 screen that is 106"...

So I got mine today. Won't move to the new house and new HT for a couple of weeks, but I set it up to get a basic understanding and make sure it works. Looks great (couldn't help but watch Star Wars on a white sheet), but I had a simple question. Is there anything I need to do to get it to...

I'm having a tough time sorting this out. I just got an InFocus 4805 for my basement HT (make that basement HT to be, haven't moved there yet). I was looking at getting either a 92" or 106" Da-lite model B HDTV pull down screen. The projector will be ceiling mounted and the room should be pretty...

Just got off the phone with Kin and ordered mine. Great great deal. Why you'd buy one of these elsewhere (especially if you value this forum) I can't imagine. There's also a $100 rebate from InFocus through the end of May on top of the great price TVA gives you. My question now is to...

Thus explaining my confusion I guess. Who knew that this would come down to evolution vs. creation. Threats from below or voice of God. What am I to do?

Oh, that's good. I had it backwards in my mind. Mounting a speaker BELOW the picture is infinitely easier.

Does Dish Network offer a similar 3LNB dish? It seems to me that for what DirecTV costs it might be better to just go with digital cable. Dish Network seems far cheaper.

So I'm planning on getting a projector soon, and was planning on getting something like a 100" Da-Lite screen. My question is on putting the speakers behind it. I know there are some screen that are somehow "designed" to have speakers behind them. I'm not sure how this makes a difference, maybe...

Bryce, do you have Dish or DirecTV?

We are moving to Connecticut soon and I'm researching my HD options. Dish is the winner on price, but DirecTV is an option as well, as is cable. My concern is with bad weather. How bad do things have to be to hamper the quality of the sat picture? Is snow a big deal with them?

Sorry, I realize in retrospect that my post is a bit misleading. I DO NOT have a 4805 right now. We have a RPTV but when we move we are not taking it with us and I am thinking strongly of getting a FPTV of some sort, and the 4805 is the leading candidate.

I'm intrigued by this. This is the first I've read of NOT using a progressive scan player but instead an interlaced one with this projector. Right now we use our Xbox as the DVD player, but it does not do progressive scan for DVDs. Would we get a better picture by continuing to use that as the...

So I had never really considered a front projector before, but was very surprised to see how far prices have fallen for well received LCD projectors. I was going to get a DLP RPTV in the 40-50" range, but for the same cost or less I could get an LCD FPTV which would of course be much larger...

So my wife and I just bought a house in CT, moving from TX. Thus this is my first experience with basements. The basement is partially finished, and the HT is going to go down there. I am looking for good resources as to where to begin. The room is very long and fairly skinny (don't have...

My wife and I are moving to Connecticut this summer, and I don't feel like moving our aging RPTV with us. I think we'll be going with DLP, but not entirely sure yet. We're currently in Texas, so rather unfamiliar with the area. Anyone have any recommendations of good places to shop in the CT...

OK, so this is showing my Digital TV ignorance, but in looking at some of the various cards available, am I correct in thinking that you plug your source into the card (digital antenna or digital cable for example) and all it can output is the picture? In other words, the channel selection is...

If this isn't the best forum to discuss this in please point me to the right subcategory, it's been a long while since I've posted here. This winter I'll be helping a friend build a HTPC for his game room, with a view to repeating the task this summer for myself. Wondering what current...

I have a problem with interference in my subwoofer caused by my cable TV. I've read about this before (I believe somehow grounding is the source of the problem?) and the solution I found was to get two simple parts from Radio Shack http://www.radioshack.com/product.as...5Fid=15%2D1297 and...

I currently have an A/V Producer 8 remote, which has been used well. It's the old kind that can't actually learn new devices it doesn't have a code for, and so the remote collection has again expanded to 3 remotes. This is no good. I had thought of getting one of the Radio Shack learning...

1. The Matrix - Great picture and sound, plus the one disc I think I've come near burning a hole in from playing so much. 2. Tomorrow Never Dies - Good Bond, better supplements. 3. Casablanca - What's all this foolishness about Citizen Kane being the best movie of all time? Bah!

I would recommend ACI. I will be building three of these soon. http://www.audioc.com/diy/Kits/emerald/emerald.htm ------------------ -Rob "People demand freedom of speech to make up for the freedom of thought which they avoid." --Soren Kierkegaard
