What would be the ideal placement of speakers (floor standing or in-wall mounted) for a room where the Monitor/Screen is in the corner of the room? Since the Sony 40" Direct-view is so damn deep, putting it in the corner is best for space conservation. Do you recommend in-ceiling speakers...

In the market for a new home entertainment wall unit.... I am looking for a corner unit that can accomodate the Sony 40" XBR800 (with or without stand) and normal home theater components (stereo receiver/DVD/VCR/SAT receiver). Hoping suggestions on companies that make such a unit...

Thanks guys..... I found that it IS a chinese company called Prima? They have been selling in Canada for about 5 years now and are trying to get into the States market. According to their Rep, they have had a very good history in Canada. That is as much as I found out. Later.

I was at Best Buy yesterday and came across some Advent televisions in the 27 - 36" range for pretty good prices. I was hoping someone had some experience or knowledge with these televisions. It seemed to me that their picture was not as vibrant as, say a Toshiba sitting right next to it...

Guys: Just purchased a Yamaha DVC-6480 DVD player, and well, I love it. Everything I hoped for and more!! Build quality is 1st rate, audio/video .....loving it. Now for my question.....when calibrating the db output level for each speaker (5.1) using the Video Essentials DVD, should I...

Phil: Another note.....the Yamaha is the Panasonic built to Yammie specs. Plus, you get the Farajouda chip! I am sure you won't be disappointed! Rob

Phil: I picked up a DVC-6480 a couple of weeks ago at One Call for $359.00 (Free Shipping, a little haggling for that). I am extremely happy with it. Picture is great, audio is even better (DTS decoding very nice)!! DVD Audio is a VERY welcome addition, too. Enjoy!! Rob

Is there a station where you can listen to Howard Stern in the morning?? Just curious.......

The original version of the Time Machine is a much better quality film. Not only for the directrial aspect of the film, but the screenplay and overall presentation of H.G. Wells concept. The "remake" is a pure attempt at bringing the Wells novel to life.

I wanted to get some feedback..... I just ordered the Yamaha DVC6480 DVD 5-Disc Changer to replace my Toshiba SD-3109 2-Disc DVD player. I will not be using the progressive video option since I am using a non-HDTV (Zenith, 27"). Should I expect significant improvement in video and...

James: YGM, also what is the build date or when purchased? Rob

YGM, again.

Does anywhere in the new DVD mention or explain what the "golden light" is in the briefcase??? One of those mysteries I have never been able to get a firm answer on. Thanks

Joe: YGM Rob

YGM.

YGM!

I just got in A Better Place - DVD, and though I can play the movie fine, but when trying to access the special features or the special introductions, the DVD locks up on me. Playing on a Toshiba SD-3109. Bum disc or glitch with the DVD and player?? Anyone with any experience???

I was hoping that someone could give some clues on who might be selling the new Star Trek: TMP DVD a bit early in the South Florida area. Sorry, but I just cannot wait for this one!!! Thanks!!

I was hoping someone who had seen or purchased the Toshiba 34" Direct View, 16:9 HDTV (34HF81) could give a review or opinion. I saw the specs at the Toshiba site, and it looks like a great set with quite a bit of nice features, like 3:2 pulldown. The price is not too bad either, should...

I have a Toshiba 3109, and the first time I played SWI, the subtitles went by super-quick. The next time I played the flick, the subtitles faded in and out beautifully! Go Figure?!?! Rob

I have repeatedly been impressed with the Panasonic 34" Widescreen HDTV (CT34WX50). Every store I walk into with this model on display, I am impressed with the picture. I was wondering why I do not see more posts in regards to this model TV? Is that good or bad?? I would appreciate some...

Jon & Marc: Thanks for your inputs, definetly food for thought. I think I am more and more siding to the RCA, the built in HD tuner is a nice thing to have, sun light considerations come to mind more than anything else. I do not mind the "tweaking" or setting up of a RPTV, I actually enjoy...

I have gotten my TV choices down to the RCA 38310 Direct View 38" HDTV (~$3000) vs. the Toshiba 40H80 40" RP/HD TV (~$2000). I am torn and would really like some input from everyone here. I am living in an high-rise apartment where the viewing distance to the TV will be about 8', and side wall...
