    Another make me lean towards one of these sets question

    Great! Thank you for the responses. I was leaning towards the Plasma, though was trying to eek out another 4" of screen with a 55" LED around the same price point.

    Another make me lean towards one of these sets question

    I have a 6 yo and a 4.5 yo that will be undoubtedly watching the same channel for long periods of time. Has burn-in become less of an issue?

    Another make me lean towards one of these sets question

    So after a long HD hiatus (two kids 18 months apart will make you forget about anything else), we are in the market to replace our antiquated CRT. A bit about the criteria: Room dimensions and seating distance suggest 64" minimum size. (wife won't allow this unless Front projector with...

    Denon-3300 Multi-zone setup?

    Okay, those of you with Denon products know how well their manuals are written...therefore I have questions. I'm having issues setting up a new set of speakers (outside). I am currently running only fronts (LCR) and a sub to the receiver (no surrounds)...and want to hook a set of outdoor...

    Step above Infocus 4805

    I have to agree with PeterMano, A nearby theater store (Delaware) had both on display, and while sitting in both rooms I was far more impressed with the 4805. There may be reasons to spend more money on the 5700, but if considering between these two FP's I would still go with the 4805...

    Mitsubishi Empty Promises?

    Thanks for the replies, I realize that component video should would work just as well. I'm still confused as to why they wouldn't include the connection on the upgrade when DVI was standard on the following years sets. To answer a few questions...Mitsubishi does charge the consumer for the...

    Mitsubishi Empty Promises?

    Two years ago I purchased a Mitsubishi WS-55311 HD upgradeable set with the knowledge that they have an upgrade promise that states that they will provide for a cost upgrade modules for their sets. As it turns out they have one for my set, however it does not include a DVI connection. I...

    My Infocus©4805 has arrived!

    glad to hear good reviews from real users! I recommended this projector to a friend who had an LP340. It will arrive by the end of the week and he's asking what new cables he will need. I'm unfamiliar with the newer connections for video and have the same question as Todd. Any help...

    Comparing InFocus projectors

    Thanks. I'm trying to convince my friend that he should wait and get a projector that is truly and upgrade to his LP350. He was looking at the X1 originally and thanks to your help, I think I've been able to convince him to wait for the 4805. Although his worries regarding a much lower...

    Comparing InFocus projectors

    Looking to help a friend replace his front projector with a newer and hopefully better quality one. He is currently using the discontinued InFocus LP350 and is looking at another InFocus projector. From my searches here and AVS Forum it appears that the X1 and/or the Screenplay 4800 and the...

    Home Theater Master MX-500

    Yeah, I actually got the tape deck at the Sony outlets out here. When I purchased the deck I had a Sony receiver that without any programming, operated the tape deck. I no longer have the receiver and never learned the sony recvr. functions to my new receiver. I hate to spend $30 on another...

    iTunes and playing CD's

    This forum has just earned my praises! Since buying an iBook and a 20GB iPod in December, I've been dreaming of the day my entire music collection is stored (uncompressed) on a hard drive that connects to my A/V set up. I read about the slimp3 a few months ago and realized that an...

    Hiding cables

    If your floor/wall interface has moulding, you could take a not so simple route. Remove the moulding and if room permits, tuck the wires/cables behind then replace moulding. Power tools (dado bit) could allow you to cut a groove on the back side of the moulding to accept your wires. however...

    Home Theater Master MX-500

    Just got this remote last night and have been having fun trying to get all 6 of my remotes programmed into one. So far I've completed the basic programming for 5 of them. However, I have a Sony tape deck that has no remote control. I tried the codes listed in the manual to no avail. And as none...

    Denon Shutdown?

    :emoji_thumbsup: I hadn't even considered that. I did some looking and didn't see any faults but tweaked the cables anyway. It must have been the problem, since doing so has eliminated the shut-down issues. I can now rest easy and enjoy the new set-up! Thanks! Aristides

    Denon Shutdown?

    A few weeks ago I bought a Sanus vertical rack NF-206 and relocated all of my equipment on it. My Denon-3300 is on the bottom shelf. Yesterday and today a problem arose...while watching sat with said receiver producing the sound, it shut down automatically. I have not checked if for some...

    CD/DVD's to aid HT audio set up?

    The discs that Lee mentioned are designed for both Video and audio, therefore there are plenty of chapters on each of the prviously mentioned discs for setting up and calibrating sound. Pick up the Sound Level Meter at the Shack too. They have an analog as well as a digital meter ranging in...

    B&K AVR 507. Who's got one?

    For the asking price of that piece, I would be extremely dissapointed if it "whined" at all. I'm getting an ocasional audible whine from my Denon 3300, which I plan on getting looked at soon. Peace, Aristides

    A/V Furniture?

    :emoji_thumbsup: Last update...I promise. I ordered a Sanus audio rack from racksandstands.com and was extremely impressed with the quality of service provided. They offered free 3-day shipping on the item and it was received in just two days, well packaged and without damage, and at a...

    A/V Furniture?

    Update and Question: I found the BDI racks that I mentioned in my previous post for significantly less $$, and also a Bello rack that is an option (AT-484), however I'm wondering if any one here has dealt with this retailer: www.racksandstands.com. I contacted Soundcity, whom I've dealt...

    A/V Furniture?

    I've outgrown my Ikea A/v stand in more than one way, and am now trying to find a good quality component stand that serves it's purpose both in form and more importantly in function. I've looked at pieces from BDI most recently that appeal to me visually, however wonder if they are worth...

    DVD Player set-up?

    :emoji_thumbsup: Thank you very much, I figured I missed something the first time around. It seems kind of deep into the on-screen display to go to be able to enable prog scan. Thanks again! Peace, Aristides

    DVD Player set-up?

    Well, it is possible that it reset itself, although I'm almost positive I have it set up correctly. I have to spend a day with the manuals and see if there is something I'm missing. Thanks, Aristides

    DVD Player set-up?

    I recently joined the growing ranks of you that own a DVD player. I have a Panasonic XP-30 (prog scan) DVD player with digital audio out to my Denon 3300 receiver, and component video running directly to a Mitsu WS-55311. My question: 1. Are individual DVD's flagged for progressive...

    Who has the RP82 or what's a good replacement?

    Check out the Panny XP-30 which as someone stated is about the same as the RP82 however without DVD-A capabilities. If DVD-A is important to you, check out the step up from Panny (XP-50) although this player is getting tough to find as well. For me it was between those two players and the...

    Connecting it all, DSS, DVD, Receiver, TV

    Okay, first of all rather than start another thread I figured I'd revive this one. I recently dove into the world of Satellite and have questions about video connections. I have a Denon AVR-3300 Receiver (A/V) and the Samsung SIR-S70 Sat receiver. I am currently running the sat box...
