    Win an Onkyo TX-NR1030 9.2 channel Dolby Atmos AV Receiver (Redux)

    My ideal HT would be the Onkyo TX-NR1030 pushing my Klipsch reference set with a pair of SVS PC13-Ultra subs. Some kind of 4k TV.

    Win an Onkyo TX-NR1030 9.2 channel Dolby Atmos AV Receiver

    I'd love to upgrade from my entry model Denon to something more powerful and with more formats. My Klipsch Reference 7s would love more power!

    TV Technology question

    I took my wife to our local best buy. She didn't like the Mitsubishi 65". Thought the picture quality was "fuzzy". She did really like the 55" Toshiba. Unfortunately, they didn't have a 65" Toshiba there. How are the Toshibas? I have a 42" Toshiba now and so far so good. My only complaint on my...

    TV Technology question

    Currently I have a Toshiba TheaterWide HDTV and I'm looking to upgrade to a larger TV. I looked through here trying to find some info on which is better, Plasma, LCD or DLP. My living room is a fair size but there are 2 windows, on apposing sides. My current entertainment center blocks one of...

    Question about HDMI

    So, really there is no need. My toshiba has plenty of other component sets. Not to mention, I think I finally convinced my wife into getting a new TV. Now to figure out which is better, DLP, Plasma, etc.

    Question about HDMI

    I have a toshiba widescreen HDTV but it only has 1 HDMI input. I was wondering about HDMI. Is it worth using HDMI over component for DVD and my kids ps3? If HDMI is the way to go, what is a good HDMI switcher to use? Sorry, I haven't bought any new components for a long time but my kids ps3 is...

    Thanks. That is what I figured but just wanted to check.

    HD and Avia (maybe wrong forum)

    My tv died and I finally talked my wife into replacing it with a HDTV. Now it isn't anything special, a 30" 16:9 pureflat Toshiba. I am curious if using Avia is a good idea. I used it to set the picture on my old 32" panasonic Tau but it was analog. Should I use it on the HDTV or just leave it...

    Projector questions

    Thanks for the link. Basically, I can hook it up to my receiver right? I don't need the Computer? Right now I am using a Panasonic 32" tau with the s-video running to the monitor out on the receiver. Then all of my ocmponents are hooked into my reveiver and it is used as a video switcher...

    Projector questions

    InFocus LP350 http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...tem=1376827954 1. Will a projector like this work well for HT. 2. How do you hook up the receiver and satallite and all that stuff. Looks like a great deal if it would work. Any good reviews anywhere?

    I've had it with The DISH Network. Some DirecTV (D*) vs. Dish (E*) questions

    sorry it is a merger between hughes and echostar. Here is the link. http://www.directv.com/DTVAPP/aboutu...id=02_26_2002A

    I've had it with The DISH Network. Some DirecTV (D*) vs. Dish (E*) questions

    Another thing to look at is the fact that they are merging the companies. There is a link on this forum that talks about it.

    Sony STR-DA5ES

    Is there a big difference between this one and the 555es? I fortunately am able to shop at a Sony discount store (wife worked for Columbia House, owned by Sony). I got my 555 for $500 when it retailed for $1000. So, I can get the da5es for 50% of whatever sony says the retail is.

    Mobile Theater

    OK, I have a pioneer 7200 that has an AUX function. Just for TV or whatever. If you bought a monitor and a DVD player like the one I showed you above, you could hook it up as a stand alone or to the CD player and play the sound through the car stereo. You only need the processor if you want...

    Sony recievers

    I have a str-da555es and it has performed flawlessly. I bought it back in '99 for $500 (my wife worked at sony). For the price I paid, I would buy another. I was thinking of getting a da5es but I think that I will go for seperates.

    THX Ultra 2

    I was reading a magazine the other day and it was talking about this new formate. Which embraces the 7.1 technology. Also, it is supposed to upconvert 5.1 to a 7.1 surround. This is very interesting and does anyone know of any receivers using this yet. They mentioned pioneer and yamaha...

    Audio Theory: What frequencies make drivers travel the furthest

    Drivers have an extension that is a result of the spider and vent pole. The better drivers usually have a larger extension coefficient because they have to move farther to reproduce lower base. That is why the surrounds on a sub are so big and the ones on a tweeter are non existant. I think...

    receiver @ 8 ohm w/ power amp running at 4 ohm??

    Pete-here is how it works. Notice I said "almost double your power." In a hypothetical situation, it would double. It is Ohms law.

    Mobile Theater

    There are a lot of monitors that have headphone jacks or little speakers. The only problem with the playstation2 is that it doesn't do well in motion. The laser mechanism doesn't float like other players so it skips a lot more. Personally, I would try something like this...

    Missing thread-processor by-pass.

    I asked this once but when the server went down and we lost all of our threads, mine disappeared also. So, what I had asked was, can you by-pass the processor of a receiver and use the amps. I currently have a Sony STR-DA555ES and would love to get the new outlaw 950. Only, I don't think...

    Mobile Theater

    Depends on what you want. Is this for kids? A few things to remember. In dash players don't work if the emergency brake is NOT on. This is a saftey feature to keep the drivers eyes on the road. There are surrounds for the system. They are the normal speakers. You can buy a 5.1 processor...

    Need Reciever Advice Quick!!

    Did you notice that the rebate is combined? You have to buy the receiver and the Jensen 6 piece speaker system. Click on the rebate link. $150 + $180 - 120 = $210. I doubt that the speakers are that great. If you already have speakers I would just get a better receiver.

    Newbie: DirecTv or Dish; each with Tivo or Replay?

    Are you looking for seperate Tivo/replay. You can get Dish or direct TV with digital hard disk capabilities. I have heard that normal DHD don't work on satallite. I am not sure if that is true or not. Also, I think that you have to get seperate receivers. One for HDTV content and one for...

    grounding your system?

    Jim is right on the money. The little ground is for the Phono. The needle dragging across a vinyl record will cause static discharge. So it gets grounded so that it has somewhere to go other than your equipment.
