    Speaker Placement in my Living Room

    Brian - thanks for those ideas. Actually I am buying all new speakers anyway - I have to as my two old AR speakers (located on the wall behind the book case and TV/DVD) are too old and need to be reconditioned and have their potentiometers replaced which I believe is just not worth the...

    Speaker Placement in my Living Room

    I see what you are saying with the TV but unfortunately it cannot be moved there as it completely screws up the room look and feel. The love seat (B) was always facing away from the TV. The TV could only really ever be adequately seen from the sofa (CC) and the chairs (X). Anyway, seeing the...

    Speaker Placement in my Living Room

    I'd like to ask opinions on speaker placement in my living room. I have a 52" rear projection tv in the corner of my living room. Due to the logistics of my living room (fireplace, etc) and where the sofa/love seat are situated I am having problems in deciding exactly where to place new speakers...

    Speaker placement

    My living room is not conducive to a 5 or 6 speaker setup - due to furniture placement, etc. Would a 4 speaker setup be sufficient (2 front and two surround/rear)? I was thinking/hoping to mount all speakers in the room four corners near the ceiling. Thoughts on this as well as decent...

    My old AR3's just don't cut it. Suggest replacements?

    I had not used an old pair of AR3's (wood grained enclosures - must have been 12 yeard old and weigh 50 pounds each!) that were hanging on my living room wall. I rewired them using better speaker wires and also bought a new Panasonic HE70 receiver. Low and behold the sound from the speakers...

    Connecting TV/VCR/DVD & Receiver??

    I see your point. My ProScan has both an S-Video as well as input video 1 and input video 2 jacks. If I do connect all sources to the Receiver first (as Vince mentioned) then I would connect my DVD via s-video to the receiver and my VCR via composit (audio and video) then back to my ProScan...

    Connecting TV/VCR/DVD & Receiver??

    Thanks Vince. Your FAQ/Primer mentions two ways of routing audio/video signals. I understand both ways but frankly think routing both dvd video and vcr audio/video directly to the tv might be better. Anyway, it saves one cable as I don't need an s-video from dvd to receiver and then another...

    Connecting TV/VCR/DVD & Receiver??

    Ok, here's a [stupid] question that I could use help with :) My existing projection TV is hooked up to my existing VCR via a/v cable. I just purchased a DVD player and an audio receiver. How do I connect my TV and VCR and DVD player and audio receiver? The DVD player manual says to connect...

    DVD player optical/coaxial digital out jacks

    If I will be using a DVD player for a lot more audio CDs (including those I burn myself) than for video DVDs right now am I better served by purchasing a DVD player with a coaxial audio output jack rather than the optical jack? My Panasonic audio receiver (SA-HE70K) has both inputs. Would I...

    Whoa.....now THAT is a good price for the 5450. I have been searching the net for this receiver and can't come anywhere near/close to that price. Might I ask what site(s) you were able to find this at? Thanks, Walter

    KLH, Pioneer, Sony low-end receivers

    I want to purchase a basic receiver and make use of my still-great (but old) sounding AR Inc speakers [as mains] and slowly build on additional [surround] speakers, etc. I want to spend only about $200 - $250 (I know this severely limits me). I have seen in Best Busy and Circuit City the...

    DVD Player for projection tv (5 years old)

    Thanks for the reply. I am going to go with the Pioneer model as it seems to offer the most for my situation. I have noticed a few web sites selling this model (and the model 444) at very inexpensive prices. I can only assume that they are not an authorized [re]seller/tailer of Pioneer...

    Limited budget for HT system (very limited)

    Hello! My stuff is too old to be of any real usefulness/enjoyment. I don't even have a DVD player yet. My budget for a start-up HT system is about $500-$700. I *really* want to buy the Pioneer DV-440 DVD (as I burn my own CDRs, etc). That will cost about $175. I also own a nice...
