This problem is easily fixed by having the power supply board resoldered by a professional. It can even done by yourself if you know your way around a soldering iron. I sent mine out (pro-610) to be done, and now its as solid as ever, with breathtaking picture quality again. Most people are...

If the producers had tried to write a script as opposed to letting reality just happen, they couldn't have done a better job. Frankly, if this was fiction, I doubt it would have gotten by censorship. Sean has painted such a diasterous picture of the current black culture, that the execs would...

Watching Ellie has come closer to good TV than the other Seinfeld retreads have, but the show is really starting to get under my skin! My wife and I are both bothered by what we call the 'frantic factor'. I thought at first, that this was just overdone on the first episode, but alas, every...

"1. Better picture quality when recording. There's no back and forth conversion from analog to digital back to analog. It's an exact copy of DirecTV's signal. " Well in my case, I can't tell the difference between satellite, and Tivo when Tivo is recorded in best mode. "3. Up to 35 hours...

Hi, Well, I have integrated the DirecTV, Tivo (stand alone), and the RCA DTC-100 HDTV sat receiver, all into my pioneer elite pro-610 HDTV RPTV. Its no problem at all. When viewing in high-def, the Tivo is totally bypassed since the DTC-100 outputs only to the VGA when in HD mode. I...

Oh yeah, Ive seen a couple of these type installations in the photo gallery on audioreview.com You might want to look thru their archives if you really want to see what the end result might look like.

You'll need to first, make sure that the wall your recessing into isnt a load bearing wall. If it is, you'll need to install some jack studs above the TV to support the displaced load. And what are you planning to do about sound? If you are using stereo speakers, are you planning on...

I would definitely go with the drop ceiling. I did, and I also have an SVS, but I haven't experienced any vibrational problems with the ceiling tiles. In my opinion, a high end drop ceiling looks and performs much better than drywall. However, if the installer does a poor job, the reults can be...

What type of TV and DSS receiver are you using? I have a pioneer pro-610 coupled to an RCA DTC-100 and I havent experienced this problem exactly but; My SAT receiver allows me to adjust the centering of the HD feed, and I did have to alter this setting when I first hooked everything up because...

I just use the rubber feet on my SVS. The setup is in my renovated basement (i.e. carpet over concrete). I havent noticed any problems, and I can assure you the sub kicks holy ass. I certainly wouldn't reccomend putting weights on my or anyone elses SVS subwoofer! I also doubt the good men from...

If I'm not mistaken, my SVS owners manual suggested not using the spikes that shipped with the sub if it will be sitting on carpet covered concrete. If I had to guess, I would think that there is some probability of the sub vibrating or chattering on the concrete. If it were on a wood subfloor...

I only listened to the DTS track, so I cant compare. But I have to say that the sound was as good as any DVD rented to date on my system.

I can only speak from my own experience, which is with the Monster Power HTS-5000. I saw that Kevin warned you that the monster units can 'add' distortion to your lines, based I guess on the hyperlinked article he included. Certainly looks very impressive and technical, but the bottom line for...

I seriously doubt that you could use this device to switch component signals instead of the intended composite signals it was designed for. You wont do any harm, but dont spend $150 hoping that this might be the case.

I seriously doubt that the components you mentioned will draw anywhere near 20 amps. The real question is, are you getting any noise feedback from one component to the next by sending them all thru a single power strip. A good line conditioner, while not providing extra amperage, will do a...

A little late with this post but, I just watched Shrek disc 2 on my pioneer DV-f07 player displayed on a pioneer elite pro-610. And right at the exact point you referred to, my DVD totally locks up. Tried to clean the disc and restart it numerous times but it locks up every time. Just freezes...

I agree to some degree with the previous posts BUT.. If your system is or will become complex with the addition of new and better equipment, a powerful remote is truly a necessity. I know that other hard-button learnable remotes can be taught to do the trick, but if you have a wife or kids...

I put my home theater in the basement with a drop ceiling at about the same height (7ft.). I'm no accoustical engineer but I gotta think the sound is better with the ceiling. First of all I bought the 3/4 inch 2'x2' ceiling tile with the 1/4" reveal on all sides. This stuff has the highest...

I bought one from electronasaurus.com for around $350 I think. The first one showed up dead out of the box. I was worried because I didn't try to hook it up until 3 months after the unit arrived(theater construction delays). Anyway, I emailed them and explained the situation, and they were...

Hi Gary. I recently built a theater in my basement also. I used a pair of Def-Tech BPX's as my surround speakers and I am quite pleased with their performance as well as their appearance and ease of installation. I posted some pics at audioreview that might still be viewable at the address...
