So far ive managed to use my Panny AE700 on my beige wall in a rented apartment with satisfactory results. I really wanted to get a screen and apart from models etc there is some things I dont quite understand. I see that they come is aspects 16:9 and 4:3. For me its just for DVD so obviously...

I've just tried to put my Dali Concept Centre speaker on top of my Toshiba CRT set and im getting quite bad purple and blue colorization. The speaker says its shielded but yet it still does it. I've also tried an older Sony centre speaker(also says shielded) and it does the same. As soon as i...

Hey guys, I just got some cash that i wanna burn and I dont think I can hold out on a receiver till next year when they support the new HD formats. Currently im using a Yammy rxv496..pretty old school. So im looking at maybe getting the 2600. Hopefully I can hear some improvement over the...

I live in Australia and am thinking about importing one of these suckers, but my question is, is the player Region free? I can find instances where they say there is no region for HD...but im only finding speculations on if its the same for the SD dvd it plays. Its no good to me if I cant...

Hey guys. I was just wondering what you do with your projector if the power goes off during a movie? I've never really thought about it until the power went off the other day, I was thankfull I wasnt using it. So does everyone use a UPS or whatever they are? Or does it damage it to be turned...

Hey guys, i'm using Paradigm Monitor 7's through my yammy rxv496 and when i purchased them the guys there made me up a bi-wired cable. They said it would be better and told me how to connect it. Anyway, lots of time has gone past and I thought that maybe since I dont know anything about...

I've got a superhero party next weekend and i really have no idea who I should go as. I want something that I dont have to go into too much effort for. I'm broke and cant really be bothered making something up. So I was wondering if you can help me choose something more uncommon. I was...

Ive had my Panny AE700 for around 12 months now and have left it on the normal setting with -2 color temp. To be honest..it looks quite good. But im a bit of a picky guy and have never been wowed by it. I realise for this price range it wouldnt be awesome but i feel i could get better out of it...

Ive been playing with HT for ages and though it might be an incredibly stupid question its something I havnt had to have any experience with. Basically what Im wondering is if you want to use 96kz for 2 channel audio, can that only be achievable over analogue? I ask this as I am using a DD sound...

Ive been using my Panasonic AE700 for around 12 months now and its been used on a painted white wall in the lounge. Im renting and have been pretty broke so havnt thought about a screen.

I've had my projector for about 3 dvds worth so far, and last night i noticed that ever 3-5 seconds i could see the image flicker if i stared at a spot. I never noticed it before, but now its really getting on my nerves. Does anyone know what this could be, or if its common? Thanks

I just purchased the PTAE700 Panasonic projector. Its on order, so havent recieved it yet. Just a quick question, my dvd player at the moment is a Toshiba, and its not progressive scan. Should i be looking at upgrading to a progressive scan for use with this projector? The purpose of it is...

Hey guys, i was just wondering what you do with your bass/treble nobs on your reciever. Im having a hard time thinking weather i need to move these from centre or not.

I'm looking at renting a new house and the loung room for HT is very important to me. I was just wondering what is more ideal for sound...carpet or timber floors?

I've been hunting for some mid priced mains for my HT around the $1000(aus) I was first looking at Wharfedales xarus 5000 then i saw some Jensens. On a quick compare the Jensens were soo much brighter and clear in the mid and highs, and the wharfies sounded really muddy. The Wharfes have a 8"...
