Firstly, you cannot use the analog inputs on your receiver to get hi-res audio from the PS3. The PS3 only had provisions for 2 analog channels (left and right). You need a receiver with an HDMI input that will accept LPCM over HDMI. From there you need to set the HDMI output of the PS3 to...

My apologies on misconstruing your meaning...normally I think of "handling" as being able to decode, as might other people. Think of my post as a clarification of yours, not a correction.

Additionally, try "aiming" the speaker towards the listening positions...so if the speaker is below the display use something to prop the front end upward so that the speaker fires at the listeners...following the same logic if the speaker is above the display aim it downward...this may help...

Not completely true...the reciever must be able to handle LPCM over HDMI...it need not be able to decode the new HD surround formats, the PS3 will decode those and send them as LPCM.

Pick up something like THIS and you should be good to go.

I did notice that the Denon seemed kind of "cheap feeling" for lack of a better turn of phrase...the build quality persent on thier higher end lines didn't seem to trickle all the way down to the 1910...although I suppose that's to be expected since it is, after all, $350 less than it's closest...

Display is a 50" Samsung DLP (HL-P5063W). I tried everything I could to get rid of the macroblocking and green tint but nothing seemed to work (after the initial hour of calibration I adjusted color saturation, played around with brightness and contrast)...finally gave up.

I recently purchased a Denon 1910 despite the issues I've heard with it (macroblocking, a greenish tint to blacks)...I will be returning it. IMO, the marginal increase in picture quality afforded by the upconversion and DVI connection is really overshadowed by those issues...

I uses monopoles...if I wanted a more diffuse rear soundfield then I'd go back to Dolby Pro Logic.

I want an upconverting DVD player that does DVD-A and SACD (multichannel) and have a few ways of fulfilling my want, however, there are a few things to mention before listing my actual options:I am on a pretty limited budget...the most expensive of my choices would definitely take a couple of...

The benefits would be convenience and sound quality...rigging up a casette player with a line out to the inputs of a sound card will have mixed resuts at best (I know, I've tried)...but then again, perhaps sound quality shouldn't even really be brought up since one is digitizing from cassette...

Here's a LINK to a device that will allow one to digitally archive their cassettes...might be just the investment you're looking for, provided you're willing to pay the $150 price tag.

If I were you I'd ditch the factory speakers as well and start fresh...speakers are the most influential improvement that you can make in a systems sound quality so it stands to reason that if your present sound quality is sub-par then changing out your speakers will more than likely improve it...

Well, motorization is a really neat novelty...until it breaks and you have to fix it...now personally, I've never had any motorized units go completely bad on me (I've owned two, each for about a year...one started to "stick" on me before I replaced it)...I'm just not a big fan of them...too...

Your plan for upgrading sounds well planned :emoji_thumbsup:! I can understand wanting to take advantage of your Best Buy discount for your car audio products, however, from their brands, I can really only wholeheartedly recommend two: Rockford Fosgate and Pioneer... Take a look at the...

...but then you spend much more money and don't have the ability to edit, create menus, import your own soundtracks or anything else that might turn a simple home movie into a quality DVD...the standalone recorders are great and serve a purpose but they trade convenience for versatilty, not to...

With that processor and RAM you may be pushing the machine to it's limits, but it is possible to get by...just don't try multitasking or anything...

I think this is the one John is referring to: LINK I have the wame device and I really like it...the software is flexible while still being easy to use, especially for novice users or those not adept in video editing... Additionally, the PCI card has a firewire port built in, so when...

Take a look at something like THIS for easy video capturing and editing...it should suit your needs fairly well if you're dealing with analog video tapes...it's also got a firewire port for capturing digital video should you ever upgrade to MiniDV... The software interface is also pretty...

You can go to THIS SITE and download the freeware application...it's designed to tell you what formats are supported by your drive...

How about this setup... CDT CL-61a Audio Classic Series 6.5" Components (1) $150.00(@ www.thezeb.com) Elemental Designs e12K.44 (2) $135 each (@ www.edesignaudio.com) Avionixx AXA 400.2 RMS Power @ 4ohm,

With around $400 he can buy a decent set of separates for the fronts, some coaxials for the rears (if that's what he wants) and a modest four channel amp to power them...I'd say that's a better option than BOSE any day... Or instead of the rear coaxes he could go with a modestly priced 12"...

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the way the stock cd reciever is integrated into the dash of the Mazda 6S, you're going to end up spending A LOT of money to get an aftermarket unit to fit into the dash without totally disturbing the aesthetics of the vehicle...since the car is a...

First thing's first...are the SoloBaric's the dual 2-ohm voice coil or the dual 4-ohm voice coil versions?...the reason I ask is that we need to know the impedance load that the two speakers will be presenting to the amp... For the dual 2-ohm versions you can wire each woofer with the coils...

Ted-

For the most part it is just a burn and play proposition...however there are a few things you might want to consider:The bitrate...I've found that anything under 192 can sound off...that is to say the bass can lack impact and the highs can be less than brilliant...I'd recommend going with files...

Sorry...doesn't exist...maybe if you could compromise the in-dash 6 disc and FireWire port you could find something that would suit your needs...

I think that the whole point was to suggest stuff he could get at Best Buy since he can utilize an employee discount...but good call with the Axiom suggestion, if budget allows that's definitely a good choice :emoji_thumbsup:

I think that you'd be pretty happy with that pairing! :emoji_thumbsup:
