Just a bit of an update, for those that are in the same situation as me. I spoke with ATI technical support just now, and it turns out, that with a DVI -> Component adapter, I will be able to output 1080i or 720p with a NON-HDCP compliant video card to my monitor (via component). That's great...

Hi Patrick, Thanks for the tip, I will try using your search query (although I've done several google/forum searches already but haven't really found a solid answer yet, so I figure I'd ask the community my specific question). Anyhow, I should have re-named my topic to something else. I'm...

I'm so sorry to post another 360 HD-DVD Drive -> PC question, but I really must know if this will work! I just saw Bourne Ultimatum and now I MUST re-watch the previous Bourne movies in HD!!! =) Anyways, here's what I have: - PC with Windows XP - Pentium 4 - Dell 2407wfp (it is HDCP...

Hi Alon, Thanks for your quick response. The reason why I'm hooking up my Wii directly to the TV is because my receiver is pretty old, and it doesn't have any component video ins/outs. And, I already have so many devices hooked up to my receiver that I ran out. So I fed my Wii audio through...

Hey ya'll. I've come across an issue that really is disheartening to me. Maybe some of you can advise me what I can do in this situation. Last month, I bought a brand new Sony KDL-40XBR2 1080p LCD HDTV. It's a beautiful television and it cost me a pretty penny! Connected to it, I have: -...

Thank you for all your suggestions thus far! I have tried adjusting the settings (and yes, the dvd player is set to 16x9 television), messing with the DRC modes, going back and forth between different resolution settings, etc etc. In the end, I decided to stick with the 720p upscale, instead of...

Hello all! It's been several years since my last post here. I used to be into the audio-side of things, but just this past week I forked over the money and bought myself the Sony 40" 1080p HDTV LCD XBR2! (model no: KDL-40XBR2). I also bought a Sony Progressive Scan DVD player that upscales to...

>>>as for using them in the car...i dont know if that's a good idea. kind of like letting a deaf person drive (not to be offensive or anything), its probably possible, just kinda dangerous. Haha. Actaully, what I meant was when I'm walking around the city and stuff (I'm a good ol' college...

Thanks for all the feedback. I checked up on the Grado SR-80's, and I think those are a bit too bulky for my liking (to be walking around with). However, the ER-6, in terms of the wire hitting my shirt or something when i'm walking/running, I'm not too worried about that. Thanks though...

WOW, I've never heard of these type of earphones, that actaully go into the ear canal! The ER-6 does sound perfect for me, and I'm definitely willing to spend $130 on them. However, the whole ear-canal thing is king of intimidating. I see it as being pretty uncomfortable, though I'm...

SORRY, I know this isn't exactly a home theater question, but I really need some good advice, and I know many of you here are audio experts. Basically, I really want to buy some good headphones/earphones for my new mp3 player (and occasionally my cd discman). These are some of things that I want...

This might be an unusual question, but do you know of any receiver that has a equalizer display (like what winamp has when you listen to music, or what some car stereo head units have)? It might be out of fashion now, but I am really into the look where you can see the bars on a equalizer going...

I'm actually in LA right now with my parents, but when I get back up to the Bay Area, I'll check the outlet out in Milpitas. I also did check out hifi.com. Their prices are pretty good. $299 for those surrounds. It looks tempting, but I'm going to have to wait til the whole insurance thing...

Dave, Thanks for your input. About your surrounds, can u just hang them on the walls? Or do u have to buy separate wall mounts or speaker stands? With my previous surrounds, I had to buy these $50 wallmounts that were a pain to install. I rather just have it so that the speaker comes with...

Thanks for your help people. Actually, I did file a police report and my parents are trying to get the insurance company to cover it as we speak. I'm not sure yet if they will, but I'm waiting for the company to call (they said they would call Monday but they didn't). I am under 21 years...

Sadly, my home theater system was stolen from my college apartment over christmas break so now I'm in the midst of looking for a new one. What I had was: fronts: energy exl 26s center: energy exl c2 subwoofer: energy exl s10 rears: energy exl 16s All of that costed me a little under...

Robin, Thanks for your suggestions. I might build the box thing out of wood and put a piece of cloth on top. My speakers already have spikes too, so it should be ok. Thanks for your suggestion.

Alright, truce. Yes, communicating through writing isn't always the best. About the walls, I think they are drywall. Last year I lived in the same building and I had drilled holes in the wall for my satelites (fronts and backs) and I got charged $50. More than usual, but I go to school at UC...

Bill, Actually, I DID NOT re-re-post in THIS forum. The moderator locked my forum in the Hardware forum and he/she reposted it here. I had nothing to do with it. I think I'm capable of knowing where I post my own posts... I'm assuming the mod changed it, because he/she was unaware I posted...

DaleB: Thanks for your help, I'll look into that. However, I'm not so sure if my apartment owners will let me get away with drilling holes in the walls. Bill Catherall: I dont' appreciate your response at all. The reason why I posted this post again in the "Home Theater Hardware" forum is...

Hey everyone, I have a slight problem, and I was hoping that someone can help me out. I live in a college size apartment, with an average size room. My 27" Wega is on my chest of drawers, and me and my friends sit on the opposite side of the room on my bed (sideways) and a small couch/recliner...

This might be too general of a question, but what kind of subs are better? Down or front firing? I've always had the impression that down firing is better... but then I really don't know WHY, if it is, that is. Can anyone explain the difference to me? Also, how is the energy exls-10? It's a...

Thanks for the info. You have helped me greatly. =) Just a question though, what exactly are MDF boards? some type of wood? Are you sure it's ok to put the floorstanding speakers on top of a platform other than the floor? If so, that'll be perfect, but I want to be sure. I don't want to...

Please give me your opinions on the following things. Thanks. After a couple months of hearing speakers, different setups, and managing my budget, I've decided to replace my current satelite setup with brand new speakers: fronts: energy exl 26 (floorstanding) center: energy exl c2 surrounds...

AHHH IC, yes, that's exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

I don't know if there's a place for this post, but bascially I'm just really curious and interested to see everyone's home theater setup. Whether it be simply a living room or a whole special-made room, I want to see. I myself don't have pictures of my setup, but my setup isn't even worth...
