This looks pretty promising and good bang for the buck to replace my awesome but dated Marantz AV-9000. Emotiva Audio UMC-1 Audio-VIdeo Processor Anybody heard any other info on this unit?

I have read on "other" forums to get the best performance from a plasma is to break it in with a special DVD at lower settings for its first 100+ hours. Have any of you done this? Have any of you not bothered and had no problems with your plasma?

Forgive me if this has already been asked. But will Paramont and Universal continue releasing movies on HD-DVD (and SD-DVD) only? If so, I don't think HD-DVD will be completely dead.

Yes, thats right. In the 40 to 50 inch range. My current situation I will only be sitting apprx 6 and a half feet from the screen. My living situation will probably change in the next year and then I plan on upgrading to a larger screen, so I'd like to get something affordable in the above size...

I have not seen a new DLP in that size range for quite some time. And I wish Sony and JVC would get on it for some SXRD's in that size range!!!

Shocked there are no threads on this highly underrated show. It was quietly released this week. Anyone else pick it up? Its listed as having a DTS soundtrack, but on my copy, no DTS. Not a huge concern since the overall soundtrack does not have a very active mix (except the music) but just...

I'll be picking up the 360 version. Looks pretty damn good.

First off, I need an automatic. I just cannot rick a direct drive with my vinyl. So no, "get a direct drive for the same amount or less" comments, please. How does this perform. Seems to be the best automatic for the dollar. Would a $40 Grado cart improve the sound? Any other comment on the...

Looks pretty sweet for the price. Anyone own this? How do SD DVD's look on it? Black level? Any other comments from owners?

I know they have them for DLP's, and LCD rear projection sets but are there any out there that will attach to LCD flat panels or plasmas?

this can be fun! like everyones custom mix cd in one thread! Here is mine, http://profile.imeem.com/IuMbXT/playlist/eJXbjaA1/ feel free to comment.

I have heard great things about this tt. I can get it new for only $120. I have also heard a better cartridge will make a night and day diff. I am thinking about a Grado black P mount for $40. Will this be a good match and sound better than the cart included with the tt? Any owners of the...

I am getting sick of dialup. Cox cable has a new basic high speed service for $26 a month. I of course do not wanna pay $50+ for a install. I'm no expert but think I can do it myself. Any tips? Also I think I'm gonna avoid renting a cable modem form Cox, and buy one myself. what are some...

Mine was a Pioneer under their Centrex (sp?) line I think made in 1978. It had a built in 8 track player, and the speaker outputs were RCA cables. Funny, I though it was pretty high end since it did not have a built in turntable (like many others at that competing price back then) so I used a...

Lets make this thread simple, post when you bought your 360, if it has been problem free since your purchase date, or if it has been repaired or replaced. Again, even if you have had no problems...since most only post if they have had problems. ANd always feel free to add an update if you run...

Think it will live up to the hype? Observations from those who have played any demo's? Will their be any sort of special edition (steel case or bonus making of DVD, etc)?

In the 40-42 inch range with the same features as the larger models currently available?

This week Best Buy is offering the Klipsch Quintet III 5 piece speaker system (fronts, center, rears) for free, if your reciever, sub, speaker purchase totals $699 or more. I went and listened to them today teamed with the Klipsch Sub-10 and it sounded pretty damn impressive. ANyway, my bro-in...

I'm prob gonna get a 42 inch Sony LCD in the next few months. How do the LD's look on your HDTV's? Do they show a lot of flaws due to the lower rez?

I'm prob gonna get a 42 inch Sony LCD in the next few months. How do the games look on your HDTV's? NES, SNES, N64, Dreamcast, etc? Do they show a lot of flaws due to the lower rez?

What are some models? I do not need a dard drive, just a model that records on most of the formats, and has no hicups when it comes to finalizing a disc.

After getting my rocks off playing Half Life 2 on the Xbox, I am hungry for more. Thinking about going backwards and picking up the first Half Life on PS2 that I have yet to play. Is it worth it. I hear no gravity gun :frowning: , but how does it stack up to HL2? (and please lets not turn...

I have now had too tell 3 people this, that owned dolby digital/dts recievers, 5 speakers and sub, that were simply using the 2 channel rca outs from the dvd player to the inputs on the reciever thinking they were getting true discrete dd/dts sound. I informed each they were not getting true...

I'll start off, A friend of mine has the Def Tech pro 100 sub/sat system, a terrific system, but has the front left speaker in his bookshelf equipment rack about 4 feet above the floor, the front right speaker about 7 feet above the floor, not to mention enclosed in the wooden rack, w/not...

Ok, I was thinking about updrading my almost 10 year old Pro Scan 27 incher (I know, lame, behind the times and it still works fine) to a HD WS 34 inch tube. But bigger is better, some questions, 1) my veiwing distance is only 7 feet away from the TV, the Samsung HL-R4266W 42 inch DLP looks...

(First, didn't know which forum to post this on, moderators please feel free to move this, if not appropriate for this forum.) I own a gorgeous black equipment shelf, and these current silver components just do not do it justice. This really bothers me, manufacturers (though a few do)can at...

For those who still have all the old games, I think it would be pretty awesome if Nintendo released a high end system that has slots for every Nintendo system ever made, NES, SNES, N64, GC, even have GB and DS slots. Include upscaling for everything built into the unit well as a optical digital...

So I can toss my pan and scam laserdisc.

Would appreciate it if anyone knows. Thanks.

For a guy who does not get HBO or has yet to see Season 6, I'm getting pretty anxious.
