Well it's a large size room IMO at about 20X25 with sloped cathedral-type ceiling and open floor plan. My father asked me to help him install surround sound in this room with two requirements... It has to be pretty cheap to do and only in-wall or in-ceiling speakers will do. My main...

Hey all, I need assistance with properly setting up an XBOX with the Hitachi 51S500 HD RPTV. The way the TV manual reads to me is that it natively supports 480i, 540p and 1081i formats but that it will "upsample" 480p and 720p sources to 1080i format to display. So, when setting up my XBOX...
I ordered a HK AVR-325z from Harman Audio a month ago and just shipped it back last week due to it going directly into protection mode. I was informed yesterday that I won't even get shipping information on the replacement AVR-325 till Sept. 1st so I contacted HK customer service and let them...
I don't know how accurate these pictures really are but still interesting to look at. http://thehollywoodextra.com/honda/honda.html Can anyone, "in-the-know" comment on these? Thanks, Brian
Good day all... I have been tasked with putting together a budget HT setup for my parents and I'm having difficulty deciding on an A/V receiver. The only requirements that I'm looking for are: Under $400.00 price tag (non-negotiable money cap) Component Video Switching Solid movie surround...
I went to: http://www.hbo.com/rock/?ntrack_para1=feat_sec1_image# and clicked on the promos for the new Chris Rock Comedy Special, "Never Scared" and the background beat sounds so familiar but I cannot think of the artist or actual song. Do you know? Thanks for your help.
I purchased a Hitachi 51S500 from Sears less than 30 days ago and before the "unconditional" return policy runs out I wanted to run these issues by my fellow HTF members. Please take a look at this graphic: http://img47.photobucket.com/albums/...13/hitachi.jpg I made this image real...
I can't recall exactly where I read it but someone stated that they were using Radio Shack Gold Series Component A/V cables [ http://www.radioshack.com/product.as...5Fid=15%2D1509 ] as component inter-connects. I would assume that as long as all three of the bundled composite cables are...

There are some pretty decent deals out there right now and my wife is not voting against us purchasing a HD RPTV for the time being so I would like to take advantage and pick one up by this weekend before she has a chance to re-evaluate our "fun" spending. ;) Anyhow, I've been doing some...
Audio Clip below: http://www.dennis-vs-scott.com/swhub.mp3 I've heard this music plenty of times, espically on movie trailers but don't know what the actual name of the song is and who composed it. Also, does anyone know were I can d/l a high quality version of this song? I appreciate...

I'm a true beginner when it comes to creating databases and was hoping to get some help. I would like to create a database that will track daily family expenses that can be summarized daily, weekly, monthly and annualy. The data I want to record will be something like this: Expense...
Well I posted last week about getting this shed moved onto my property, which we were able to do but now I need different advice. Just recently I "inherited" a 7' X 10' shed from my next door neighboor for free which is great but it's now in my yard just sitting on pavers and the front 2...
I have the oppurtunity to get a "free" shed from my next-door neighbor but moving it onto my property seems kinda difficult. It's a complete outdoor storage shed approxmiately 7ft. wide, 6ft. deep and 10.5ft. high. Overall it's in good condition they just needed a bigger shed and were...
My 10 year-old Sony CD head unit is dying so I'm in need of an inexpensive but decent CD car receiver to replace it. What I'm looking for: Must play CD-R audio CDs (CD-RW playback would also be nice) Black face-plate (removable would even be better) Rotary volume knob (highly desirable)...

I may have the opportunity to "trade" vehicles with my brother and need some opinions on the matter. I currently own and drive a 1993 Plymouth Voyager SE minivan which has the Mitsubishi 3.0 V6 engine and about 86,530 miles on it. The van has been using/leaking a fair amount of oil (about 1/2...
Yup, finally taking the family back down to Stone Harbor for our vacation and was looking to you guys/gals for some driving directions. Yeah I know there's MapQuest and other online tools but most of them I found don't account for alternate routes that well. It's been awhile and I'm not the...
Ok, so let me lay it out for ya. My wife and I have been slowly but surely paying down our collective debt we've both carried around for the past 7 years but have recently hit a huge plateau. We certainly haven't been the most frugal of spenders at times but IMO we haven't "blown" our...
My parent's 32 Sony Trinitron of 10 years just died earlier this week and they asked me to help them shop for a new television. I believe after talking with them we've narrowed down some specifications/requirements: 1) A direct view analog set 2) At least a 32" set but possibly would buy...
Hey all, it's been a long while since posting on this part of the forum but I'm sure I have the right place for help. The main tv cable supply used to run directly from the utility pole into my attic where it was split off for 2 televisions.(fairly common) Since then, I've had a cable modem...
Looking to purchase new Queen set for us and possibly a Twin set for our daughter tonight... any suggestions on which mattress/box spring sets we should put on our short list? I understand much like speakers, purchasing a mattress is pretty subjective but I'd like to hear from owners who...
I'm really interested to hear your reviews. The other day at Media Play I had War of Monsters and Tekken 4 in my hands but ended up putting both of them back. I was having a hard time deciding which one would be a better fighting game for me. Anyhow, if you've played either War of...
