I suppose I initially need this monitor to support 480p, which it should do without much trouble, with a 4:3 aspect ratio. I am more concerned with having the capabilities for 720p and 1080i for Xbox 360, whereas I'm not sure to what extent that machine will use those upper screen...

Thank you Kimmo! Tiger Direct has a monitor that I'm looking at and it looks to be a good fit. I understand that since it is 4:3 that there should be something of a letterbox format when playing 16:9 games, but I also don't intend on spending $750 for a widescreen LCD panel just for gaming...

I am looking into moving my current Xbox from my Hitach 32UDX10S to a monitor upstairs on my computer. I would like to maintain the possibility of utilizing my games at 480p, with the ability to use the capabilities of the Xbox 360 at 1080i. Is this possible? From what I have gathered, I...

I am looking at purchasing a new monitor using one of the adapters/switches described here and I wonder what specs I should be looking for in a new monitor so that I can continue to utilize 1080i on my Xbox and eventually, my Xbox 360?

I need a new 2.1 speaker setup for my home PC. I had a Monsoon Planar Media 9 set up, and it sounded fabulous. Lightyears beyond the Cambridge SoundWorks cube and sub package. Anyway, I need to get a new 2.1 system as my Monsoon set up has died. I'd like to spend around 50 bucks, but if a...

Hello. Within the last week I noticed a discoloration near the upper right hand corner of the TV screen of my Hitachi 32UDX10S. It appears to give the picture a purple-ish hue in that 2 inch in diameter oval. I do have Paradigm Studio 60's unshielded on the sides, but moving them have not...

Can anyone suggest online retailers that sell white wire? I've already looked at Parts Express, but are there others similar?

I have a similar problem when using my JVC VCR (connected to the rcvr w/ composite) through the component connection. While I don't have purple lines, there is a significant delay (5-7 sec.) for the video when changing channels. I have borrowed a friends Sony vcr that is a year or two newer and...

I'm building my own speaker stands and a TV stand to match. I had planned on using MDF to put this together, but I have no idea what I'm going to use to do as Mick and Keith ask us to do... "Paint it Black" My Studio 40's are the black laminate so the finish should work well with a...

For obvious reasons... DVD Burners. Both DVD-R and DVD+R Sony dru 500ax or Pioneer A05 (Cendyne 105)

Exactly Kyle. I am by no means trying to "buck the system" or be a cable pirate. I simply want to use the capabilities I have on my main TV, and am currently paying for, on my bedroom TV. Going one step further, I wondered if there are format differences between different brands of cable...

Currently, in my home we are set up for Digital cable through Adelphia, and we "renting" (?) a box through them (which seems a prerequesite for having digital cable). I have more than one TV, and I'd like to add the channels/capabilities to my other TVs but I'd rather not pay an extra $6.50 a...

I'm thinking about making a purchase on Audiogon for a Paradigm Studio CC. It has only been used a week, but I am curious as to what the general consensus is on purchasing used speakers. For some reason I am more hesitant about purchasing a used speaker than a used electronic component...

Good point Brian, though the dealer gave me a difference of $250 between the 40's and 60's. I could make stands for every speaker in my 7.1 setup for that. I hadn't thought too much about the size of the 40's but after reading your post, I probably only have room a set of books, or possibly...

I had planned on building this myself, but finding the right design has been the problem. I was thinking of placing posts (PVC?) filled with sand in the four corners, then adding wood siding, and finally placing a door in front. However with all these additions I see the possibility for more...

In the next two weeks I'll be purchasing some Paradigm Studio 40's and I will need to place them on stands. After doing some extensive searching it appears the best way to go is with a column or two filled with lead or sand to dampen reverb. Well, this would be fine if my fiancee (FAF) did...

I am a HUGE believer in buying from Blue Jeans. Not only do get a quality cable and fast shipping, but for twice the price you can buy MonsterCable that offers half the performance. Plus... they could rework the old Calvin Klein ad.. "Nothing comes between me and my Canare's"

Through the 3803 you can view a video source through your TV, and have a seperate audio source sent out to the Main zone. As far as PIP goes... I think that somewhat depends on how your PIP works. For my TV, I can use PIP for all inputs except for my component input. So, that also plays a...

You know it is possible to have UPS center get in contact with the driver, and you can make arrangements to meet him or her if the truck is still in your area. If I missed the delivery, I would call the center (via the 1-800#) and make up some story about how I would be leaving on vacation and...

Thanks Brian and Jack... That makes sense to me... Looks like I have SPL meter fun ahead of me tonight!;)

I'm picking up my new 3803 tonight. Any tips for breaking in this beauty? I had planned on running the receiver with the TV for a couple days straight. Would this be the best way to go?

You already have audio racks, but how about speaker stands and TV stands as well? None specifically, but well constructed value priced stands.

I've also heard the Mini's (being the Swiss Army knife of Paradigm's line) work well with the Studio series. Maybe others can verify this, as I have not heard this first hand, but should you choose to upgrade your fronts, it won't create the need to change your rears. Again though, I...

I'm looking at the Studio 40's and the Monitor 7's. I can't believe I left that out of the original message...Duh!

I'm picking up new fronts for my 3803 and I've heard good things about the Paradigm. But, I can't A/B them because my dealer only has the Studio 20's. How would you classify the sound of each of these, and in which direction would you go if the price difference was $170 w/o stands. (I think I...

This thread should answer most of your questions If not head over to the AVS Forum and DenonJeff has his own thread under AVS Special Guests. He has a few more answers about the specifics of this fix.

I was under the impression that the 3803 can show OSD through the component out as long as that video signal comes through in 480i. Anything 480p and higher, is not able to be used with OSD. Since I use the line doubler inside my Hitachi already, there should be little to no difference in PQ.

The reason for wanting to use the bookshelves is twofold. One, the space concerns, as I don't yet own a home and apartments are temporary at best. Secondly, I thought the sound of the RB3 sounded excellent. While it did not have as full of a range as the towers, the sound was more than what I...

Ok I went down to Tweeter. Listened to the RB3 and the RF3II and came away quite impressed with the bookshelf model. Now I also understand the RB5 has an 8" woofer compared to the RB3 which has a 6.5" woofer. Has anyone auditioned these two bookshelves, and what were your impressions...

What about potential problems with matching different brands of speakers in the same home theater? Can calibration fix many of these problems, or could drastic differences between brands become distracting?
