    can all TV's display progressive output?

    ok - the word 'all' is relative here :) i have an older 36" tube with Component IN and i'd like to enable 480p, but hesitate to because my new DVD player says "if your aren't sure if your TV can display progressive scan output, leave the setting as Interlaced" i have a Panasonic CT-36D20...

    wants & needs in HT viewing...

    so - the new 1080P pieces are being showcased @ CES this year, and yet again (like most people) I hesitate on buying a new TV/Monitor/Display because I hope for the latest/greatest at a good price... but then I think, do I really NEED 1080p? heck, i haven't even jumped to DLP or LCD yet - I'm...

    PB10 vs... HSU?

    I've notice that here on HTF most folks tend to run with the SVS subs and if you visit AVSForum they tend to push the HSU Research subs... I've heard the HSU VTF-2 - AMAZING sub for $499 - but now i see this SVS PB10 and i'm wondering if it's a better deal? i'm not huge on comparing specs...

    ok - so a quick history... I have a Denon AVR-1803 hooked up to JBL S38II's as mains, an S-CenterII and a Sony SA-WM40 subwoofer. A couple of nights ago the power went out at my house for about 6 hours... of course, I had to reset all the clocks in the house, etc... my reciever was also...

    anything in the Denon 1803 pricerange with onscreen video?

    ok - i'm nearly sold on the Denon AVR-1803, but does anyone know of a receiver with as good of "quality" (not THAT'S a relative term!) with onscreen video not a HUGE factor, but my buddy's Denon 3803 (with onscreen) has me wishing :)

    can o worms - compare rockets to JBL S-series

    ok - so i was hell bent on getting the JBL S-series for my new HT setup (yes budget based) no B&O stuff here :) so the idea was to get "good" sound, at a reasonable cost... my initial setup - (2) S38II as mains, (1) S-Center and (2) S26II rears for a 5.1 setup (to go with my SA-WM40 sub...

    s26 vs s36?

    just researching tonight and came across this difference... can someone tell me why the s26 is rated @ 48Hz (low end) and the S36 is 60Hz? i know this is nitpicky - but usually when you spend more on the same mfg. it results in "more" frequency-wise? i can find the S26's for $169/pair...

    Denon AVR-1803 vs Onkyo TX-SR600 vs Panasonic SA-HE200

    ok so in comparing the Denon AVR-1803 Onkyo TX-SR600 Panasonic SA-HE200 (Black) they are all VERY similar, the only real glaring difference is that the 1803 provides a 2nd room which i don't need... also the Panny remote is Multibrand "Video" vs Multibrand A/V - what the heck does that mean...
