Ok, so i already bought the Toshiba 4900 and it works fine (nothing to compare it to). But i heard so much talk about the Pioneer 563, and now the only things i read about it are negative. Does it have the faroujda chip? And for strictly DVD Video purposes, will i notice any difference between...

What's the best prog. player i can get for around $80? I had my mind set on the JVC, but would i be better off w/ the cheaper offerings from Panasonic or Pioneer? I'm interested in the highest picture and sound quality w/ as many features as possible. Thanks, and sorry for sounding like a newbie.

I'm not sure if this has ever been brought up, but would using a full range PA speaker w/ a 15 inch woofer work as a good sub? Would 2 speakers make good mains for home theater? Any difference between getting a powere speaker or speakers that come w/ an external amp?

I saw a sneak preview last night at my university so decided to do a little write up. I have to say that i never saw the original so watching this movie was the first that i got of this story. Despite how loud the crowd was (laughing and screaming at moments that were good, but not particularly...

I posted this here as to not piss off the experts w/ this rather newbie question over at the subwoofer forum. Anyways i have an H/K 325 w/ all my speakers set to small, then for crossovers i have my fronts and center set to 80hz, and my surrounds set to 120. Here is where i'm getting...

I get a hum in my speakers and sub when i select an analog source on my receiver, and by unplugging the cable from the back of my TV the buzzing goes away. I have a cable modem so from my main cable outlet i have a splitter that goes to the TV. Is there anything i can try to fix this problem?

I just set up my new HK 325 yesterday, but this morning i'm noticing some interference, it's a horizontal line that rises to the top of the screen and then another one comes up from the bottom. I took the center channel off and it was still there, isolated the TV power wire away from other...

For my component hookup from my DVD to 27inch TV i'm using Acoustic Research A/V cables (half the price as oppossed to actual component cables), they are the Performance Series. The video cable is shielded more than the red and white cables. Are these cables doing the job or would i notice any...

My surround speakers are of the swivel variety (tweeter on top and midrange on the bottom). If i'm sitting with the speakers directly to the side of me, or a foot behind me, do i want the tweeters or the midranges to face inwards? I plan on having the other half of the speaker facing foward for...

I'm currently torn between the Pioneer vsx-d912 or i've heard good things about the H/K 320. Also i was thinkin of the Onkyo 601. Out of all of these i can find the 912 for $300 which is my budget really. I don't have AVIA or a SPL meter and don't think i'd get one soon, for this reason alone...

I think i'm finally going to take the plunge from Dolby Surround to DD/DTS, i know i'm kinda behind, anyways i have 2 4-way Pioneer speakers up front that came w/ my midi system, 110W max @ 8 ohms, i was planning on reusing these because they are in fine shape, and then get a set of pioneer rear...

I've been away from these boards for such a long time, i have a Toshiba 2108 DVD player, do i have any reason to upgrade to a new one? I'm viewing on a Samsung 27inch flatscreen (non HDTV). My player now already has DTS out and using component hookup to my TV.

I've been using a Pioneer Midi system for about 10 years that plays Dolby Surround (no center channel) and am finally going to get a DD receiver. What is the absolute cheapest (college student) one i can get that has DD & DTS decoding, features like DSP and 100 watt output? My front speakers are...

I'm in the market for a new flatscreen TV for my apartment room, at most i'll be about 9 feet away so i'm thinking a 27inch although i would like a 32 inch if the price is right. What is the cheapest and best TV models i can get for my money (I will most likely be shopping at Best Buy and...
