Hi! I'm going to be on TV tonight! Fred Cantu ("The Gadget Guy") interviewed me earlier this week about the alarm system I use, and I was told the segment would air tonight at 10pm on CBS KEYE. If anyone here has the ability to record HDTV and then get it online or onto a disc, I'd greatly...

I just bought the Toshiba A20 and a used PS3 for my HT. Won't be able to set them up until late June due to business travel. :frowning:

Hey All! I have a HT at our house in Oak Hill. I'd like to have some fellow Austin HT enthusiasts over for a movie, but I also have a "can anyone help me out" question. I have an omnimount and Sony VPL-HS60 projector installed, but the mount feels a bit "loose" and the projector is not...

excellent list! thanks so much for maintaining it!!

Home Theater Installer? Hi everyone! I'm looking for recommendations on companies and/or individuals who are skilled at installing HT gear. I'm not much of a handyman, and I need to have a projector and screen mounted, cables run, platform for 2nd row of HT seating built... you get the...

Demo? Hi, Anyone interested in giving me a demo of their system? I've seen the Sony HS51 in a store, and I'm leaning towards getting it. However, I'd love to see it and the AE700 in a "real" environment. Also, I'd love to see everyone's screens in action! I can't decide what screen to...

Hi Everyone! Yep, I'm new to Austin. Just moved to a house near the 71/290 "Y". The house has a room we are planning on making into a HT room. (it's already prewired for 7.2 surround). Yes, I admit I haven't read all 72 pages of the thread, but I'm hoping someone can recommend a few good HT...

Has anyone tried DVD+R, +RW, -R, and/or -RW's in the PS2 PLUS's? Also, anyone have a link to a pic of the ps2+? I'm wondering if the dimensions are the same and if the network adapter is included. Thanks.

Hi Experts! Current setup: My TV is partially in a recessed wall in my den. Behind the tv and stand is my Hsu VTF-2. It's up against the wall. Has about 1 foot on either side. 6 inches on front and back. Nothing on top. New setup: I'm going to get a cabinet installed in the recessed wall...

I've seen ads for this new two speaker 6.1 system from Niro. The ad has some good quotes from some good sources. Questions: Has anyone heard this unit? Does anyone have links to the *full* reviews? If you have no idea what I'm talking about, go to Niro TWO6.1 . It's basically a HTIB...

Hi! I did a bit more research and found a great link: http://www.samsungusa.com/images/pro...00_compare.jpg Taking into account it is on Samsung's web site, it seems to be a great comparison of all 3 portable DVD players I'm interested in. I wasn't aware the Samsung had Faroudja...

Has anyone mentioned Gallo Acoustics? The micros are extremely attractive speakers. The dues are also quite attractive, especially the new silver ones. And the micros look very elegant on their wallflower stands. Gallo Acoustics

I hope y'all are right! Just got my first HT receiver, a Yamaha 2200! (tough choice between that and the Denon 3802)

...and if you're credit card has a 'best price' feature, you can always price match against internetdealer.com after you buy from an authorized dealer. Here's my story: GoodGuys.com lists the RX-V2200 for $999, but will not sell it online per Yamaha's demands. I walked into a local GoodGuys...

Integra dealers I talked to said end of April for 5.3 and July for 6.3.

Does anyone know speaker stands this speaker (Anthony Gallo Acoustic's Due') is using? Link Removed

Do y'all know the 'normal' differences between Integra and Onkyo? The new 5.3 sounds to have the same feature set as the 600. I'm not to familiar with either brand, so I'm not sure if the 5.3 would have any additional features? It it like Pioneer vs. Pioneer Elite?

Hi, Does anyone have any info on when the Integra 5.3 will be available? It sounds the same as the Onkyo 600, but I'm sure there must be some differences...

FWIW, Onecall.com has it in stock and people have reported seeing it in Circuit City.

Hsu's website says the VTF-2 is magnetically shielded, but I'd really like some real world comments on this statement. The sub is going to be placed in the corner of our living room, right behind our 32" TV (which sits on a tv stand, so technically the sub will be behind the 20" high tv...

Did you buy a Rava? Interested in comments if so.

So am I correct in assuming the feature of changing the delay for every surround mode is basically a VERY customizable way to change the JOINT delay for the L/R surrounds? Sounds like (no pun intended) there is no ability with this receiver to set seperate L/R surround delays. I suspect the...

You all rock! Thanks for the great comments. So I've been reading the manual for the receiver I'm probably going to buy: Yamaha 5560 Manual in PDF format using the receivers test tones to calibrate all 6.1 channels: check! (pages 21-22) delay for both center and center rear: check! (page...

Hi SidH, Thanks for the reply. Would you mind elaborating on: variable delay for the rear center (this is just the millisecond delay/distance from speaker setting, right?) and relative balance setting Thanks!

Hi, I'm considering a Sherwood Newcastle receiver for my HT, and the only 'feature' it seems to be lacking is adjustable settings for DPL II. How big of a drawback is this to anyone? What are the DPL II settings in the Sherwood Newcastle's fixed at? Thanks.

Hi, I'm planning out my first HT. It'll be relatively modest. I plan on going with 6.1. I'm wondering if anyone has had any issues with a single rear speaker? I know it is possible in theory for the localization of the sound from the single rear speaker to come from in front of the...

Is it ok to put the sub right behind a CRT direct-view TV? Our TV is in a corner, and I'm thinking the best spot would be right behind it. Not sure if the SVS should be away from other electronics. Thanks.

FWIW, I have the same questions about the Onkyo 600. Since it has no preouts, I can't just add a 2-channel amp for 7.1... so is there any way to connect 2 rears speakers to the rear channel output? Would it need two 4ohm speakers instead of 1 8ohm speaker?

Hi, I really enjoy feeling bass. Does the 25-31 PCi do this? Thanks, Mo
