You can go to Smart Device web page and read about the CS-3X Jr. processor, which is the one that I am using to derive the height channel. Most people think that this channel is strictly for height information and that is not the case. This channel will envelop you with sound, bringing you into...

Peter, the picture you seen is Wes, theater not mine. His theater is neatly done were mine has wires running across the floor, with my receiver on a piece of wood. This is all temporary until next year, when I start tearing out the sheet rock to add the sound proofing material and running the...

Hi Peter, Wired smart means that I have structure wiring installed in my house that goes to a central location, such as your sub panel for your electrical does. The wires that run to this box are mainly fiber optics, coax and cat-5E and I heard they have cat-7 now. Then you install certain...

Allen, the tweeter can pivot, so you can reflect them off a wall to give them a more eveloping sound. Some people like the localized sound, but I find it kind of distracting, when your watching movies, since the action is on the screen. This is my personal choice. As with the ceiling speakers...

Sorry for the delay. I am only able to access a computer at work since I have not set ours up in our home. The two movies off hand that sounded like it would jump from the surround sound to the rear speaker were “Star Wars The Attack Of The Clones” and the “Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers”. My...

Just a little back ground about myself. I have been into stereo, since the early 70,s when my father was stationed in Japan. My first stereo was the Kenwood Model Eleven. I took the TV I own and disconnected the speaker and wired the output to my stereo. The sound may have been mono but what...

I first would like to thank the people who replied. James, I do have a Yamaha receiver, but this is not the height channel I am referring to. I read an article in “Widescreen Review” in the editor feedback section; I guess talking about this new channel. I have the processor and amp and was...

I was wondering if anyone has toyed around with the height channel for Home Theater? And if so how did you lay your ceiling speakers out. I am looking at buying two pairs of ceiling speakers, but am skeptical about cutting into my sheetrock and finding out that these speakers are not in the...

$1,700 is kind of to high for this receiver. I,ve seen it for sell here for $1,500 and a $1,000. You may want to check out Tweeter here in Texas and see if they'll ship to you. http://www.tweeter.com There may be other people who can also help you on this as far as purchasing one. I had the...

I have a Mitsubishi WS-55909 and love it. I notice no glare or reflections as long as you are viewing the set directly. If you sit off to the side that is when glare/reflection becomes a problem. As far as other dealers in Houston, have you tried Tweeters. They gave me the best deal on a Yamaha...

I found out Radio Shack will be carrying the continuous roll of Scotch 100 and they have purchased about 7000 thousand rolls. So ask your Radio Shack salesman about this product it is well worth the money. This product can be used to bundle your cable together instead of using cable ties...

3M is coming out with this neat new product called Scotch 100. You may want to look into this because you can use this in place of cable ties. The advantages are that it will not leave creases in your cable, you can reuse them when you expand your system or when you forget a cable in a bundle...

Yes cables do make a different. I purchased a cheap S-Video cable from Radio Shack for my VCR and I got video drop out and the whites would bloom on my screen. I ended up going back to Composite Cable because of this, thinking it was my VCR. When I purchase my new Mitsubishi television I decided...

What I use to clean my RPTV screen when it is pretty dirty is the cleaner they use for window tint since this does not have any ammonia in it or harsh chemicals. I then wipe it down with an eyeglass cloth. If the screen only has a few spots on it I use a few drops of distilled water on the...

I know that the Yamaha RX-Z1 has this capability, which they call Audio Delay. Go to: http://www.yamaha.com/yec/customer/manuals/RX-Z1_E.PDF Once you have the RX-Z1 manual up, go to page 69, which is labeled E-65 on the document itself. It explains what the Audio Delay does. The initial...

Steve, no this isn’t the case since I am using the RAV-2000, the Yamaha remote control. And it was not program by myself to enter a PIP (no choice in picking PIP). I checked your advice and used my television remote, but did not get the same situation pressing the PIP button. The black rectangle...

I was wondering if anyone has had this problem on their Mitsubishi HD set. I have a WS-55909 and every once and awhile a black rectangle will appear at the lower right corner. The way I get rid of it is by switching back and forth from inputs or just turning the set off and back on. By the way...

Steve, I have had the RX-Z1 for over two weeks now. The store in Houston, Texas that I traded in my RX-V1, gave me the full price for that unit plus took $100.00 of the list price for the RX-Z1. When I called about what kind of discount that they would give me they quoted the RX-Z1 for $2500.00...

I traded my RX-V1 in for the RX-Z1. I like the power output versus the RX-V1 (I barely have to turn it up to hear sound). The RX-V1 sounded better, but I guess that's from breaking it in for a while. I have no doubts that the RX-Z1 will also sound better as it gets used more often. I also notice...

For fast and simple explanation of a line doubler. It takes a interlace signal which is your standard NTSC signal and deinterlaces it. Deinterlacing is the process by which interlaced video is converted to progressively scanned video. Progressive scanning paints all of the lines of the frame in...

I should have also mention that progressive scan and component video will also be better than what you are currently using. Just hook up your current DVD player to the HD set when you purchase it and see if you can borrow a progessive scan dvd player to compare the two. On a progressive scan dvd...

:) I ended up purchasing a Mitsubishi WS-55909 a month ago, not realizing that it was going to cost us a lot more to get the picture the way I like it. You need to watch the sale ploy of feeding the best picture to HD television. I ended up chewing out the sale person out that sold us the set...
