It should not be bright. He is setting it up in a den room, which is to the right of his condo as soon as you walk in. Here is a link to get you to the floorplan.

You bring up a good point Johnny. I have the cheapy Kenwood HTB-504 system, yet it still does a pretty good job when I crank it up and it shakes my house. This cost me a little over $400. We've talked about whether he should spend more or most of the dough on the new DLP sets or even plasma...
My brother who lives in Toronto, has just moved into his new downtown condo. He is ready to get his home theater setup, and being new to it all, wants to get the best bang for his crappy canadian dollar! The room he has is not very big. 9-10' width at most, so a huge RPTV is out of the...
I was lucky enough to be in Orlando for a mini vacation, so my son and I saw the midnight showing at AMC Pleasure Island (only DLP theater in Florida). All I can say is:
WOW! The quality was incredible. I truly can't understand why all theaters, especially newer ones don't have this...

Fox went digital (480p) last year only in the evenings. Sometimes they would forget to flick the switch, and you would have to call them to do so! I know this because a friend of mine lives next door to the owner of the station.
Everyone else is...
Chris, I have the Samsung HCL473W 47" RPTV and have been very happy with it. You can score it for around $2000 or less. The HCL4715W is a little less money with a few minor differences. My viewing distance is about the same as yours, and that screen size is nice. Much bigger and it would feel...
The last episode was Closed Captioned for the first time. MTV must have heard people ask for it and they did it. Made a great show even better. I hope they go back and caption all the earlier ones now.
Vin, I didn't realize that the DVD/6 chan was a separate input from the DVD/CD connection. That being the case, you are right, I can, and WILL use that DVD/6 chan coaxial for my Panny. Thanks so much. I appreciate all of your help and suggestions. Now off to buy a toslink to coax converter:)...
Vin, you are right, I checked it closer yesterday, and the coaxial outputs are DVD and Video 2, not 3. (Hard to read with all the cables coming out of there!) This gives me the option from going with a optical switch or a converter, however, I have regular analog audio going into Video 2 as...
My receiver has 2 optical inputs, labeled as DVD and Audio 3. They are being used by my PS2 and XBox currently. I have just purchased the Panny rp56, so I'm short an optical input. I know they have some optical switchers available, ranging from $30 to $130, so I could go that route.
I do...
