I'm having some problems setting up a pair of Sennheiser RS120 headphones on my Denon. The headphones are for when there are multiple things going on in the room and someone wants to watch TV. Ideally, I was thinking I could connect the headphones to the Zone 2 RCA outs on the back, but when I...

I've had it for years, but really need more HDMI inputs. I'd also like to keep at least one component in. I don't care about 3D anything. I just started my search and found the HK 1565, but not sure how it compares to the 2807. My budget is $400 or less, $300 being my preferred price point. My...

I purchased a Denon AVR-2807 at the end of last year while I was living in a small apartment. I used it very basically and never did any formal "set up". FF to now. I bought a house and moved in last month and finally found the time to try out the Audyssey setup program. The Denon manual's...

I've seen lots of posts on how the Screen Door Effect (SDE) is greatly reduced at 1080 than it is at 720. Is this referring to the display resolution or the source material? If I have a 1080 display, will the SDE be greater if I am viewing broadcast TV or DVD as opposed to an HD broadcast...

A local chain is having a sale through the week and now that I've moved to a new home, am looking to finally go HD. Our viewing room is in a lower level. Two half-height windows can be blocked with blackout cloth. Viewing distance is 8-12'. I'd like to spend less than $2500. Would love to...

If I have video coming into my 2807 via HDMI ( from a MacBook Pro DVI-D to HDMI cable ), will/can that video be sent out via RGB component to an inFocus 4805? If so, I'm not seeing how, so any help on what the settings should be would be greatly apprecaited. If not, since the inFocus is...

I'm sure there are scads of threads here on this topic, but I'm hoping I can get a better understanding here or at least be pointed to an exemplary thread that discussed this topic well. I'm ready to upgrade my receiver. It's many years old - pre-DVI or HDMI. At first, I was assuming to go...

When I got into HT about 7 years ago, I went with the Energy Take 5 speakers (center, sub and rear surrounds). To save a bit of money, I stuck with my front L and R speakers (can't remember what they are now..but they were my Dad's and are massive and heavy - I refoamed them 7 years ago too)...

I have an older Harman Kardon avr-75 and am looking to upgrade. Here are the h/k specs. I know there's not a ton of info there, but couldn't find any other specs. I'm looking at an openbox Yamaha RX-V2500 for $650 with full manufacturer's warranty. Good deal? How will it sound compared to the...

I've had my InFocus Screenplay 4805 for just over a year now (my first projector -- love it). Recently, I've noticed what appears to be dust inside the lens(es). It's most obvious when the projector first switches to the source and the screen is black. I can see white "blobs" in several areas...

My venerable Toshiba SD-3109 DVD player has started exibiting an annoying problem. Randomly, the sound will cut out for a fraction of a second. This first happened when I played Real Genius and I attributed it to it being an old disk, but it happened again with Finding Nemo last night. Has...

I've been away for a while (years). I first signed up early on when DVD was just appearing and got in on some great DVD deals before the dot-com bust. I still have my first and only DVD player (a highly-praised Toshiba 2-disk model) which is still working wonderfully. But now my needs are...

Any news of seeing the Blues Brothers DVD re-released? I believe this is the 25th anniversary of its debut?

Wow. It's been about two years since I've posted here. Times sure have changed! I'm finally ready to take the plunge and upgrade from my Toshiba 27" screen. I've decided on the InFocus 4805 but setting it up will be interesting... While I plan to set up a proper theater room in a year or...

I've been a member here for quite a while, getting into HT with my first DVD player back in 1999 (what great DVD disc deals back then, eh?) and have been slowly upgrading my system bit by bit. I have a great h/k AV receiver and Energy speakers. But I've never had the funds to upgrade my Toshiba...

Now that DVDtracker is charging for the use of their database, is there any other web-based service that does the same thing? Is there any free databases out there where queries can be made to get DVD info?

I wathced part of Citizen Kane last night. Can others check this out for me? Near the beginning of the film when Kane is writing up his "Declaration of Principles", he's facing to the left with the paper on the table, near the time he signs it. His face is in the shadows as he speaks a line...

I'm interested in setting up home theaters for a living. Where can I get info on getting professional calibration training?
