I agree with Brian and Bill, I think that good materials used then are still good materials used today. However, I have been busted by the Grown Men Who Administer Internet Forums For Fun Association. I have been warned. I've learned my lesson. I probably could get sued for verbal assault...

Hey Stein, I was just commenting on this quote: '"The materials used are still the same". I don't think so.' It was made by Bill. With a big smiley face. I agree with Brian. Take your prophecy and shove it. Now let's move on, I am.

Dear Bill, To summarize the above message, you are an idiot. Thanks, Modena

Buy and return. Repeat until satisfied. You win. Why everyone doesn't do this I have no idea. How will you ever know what sounds best to you?

Got my 2802 for 589. Went into Tweeter, told them a tiny store around the corner (Grafitti Audio) would sell me it for that and they matched the price. No questions asked, no checking the price. (The Grafitti audio was an open box)

You can rename them to one of a limited number of names. You cannot rename them to anything you choose. SAT is an option, XBOX is not, GAME is.

Roy, Do me a favor. Go buy a progressive scan DVD player and watch the Fifth Element in progressive scan. If it doesn't blow you away, take it back for a full refund. If you bought a real nice TV, (you did) you calibrated it for the best picture, take a look at what it would look like running...

I suggest you buy such an important piece somewhere reliable, like the previous post said. Ebay, to me, sucks. I know a friend who got ripped off on a receiver. The problem for the seller is that he didn't realize how crazy the buyer was. He won't be selling anything on ebay again. Or moving his...

Do you need to engage 3:2 pulldown? I've always wondered about this, or does it just happen automatically? I would like to see the difference between having it or not.

To follow up on what I said, there is absolutely no difference in quality from 57 tp 65 inch. None.

Brian, You ask for help, then refrain to your wife's happiness. In home theater, being subjective is more important than anything anyone in here will advise you. I could tell you that a 65 inch tv is way too big for what you need, but if your wife tells you that isn't so, what do you care? It...

For under a 1000 bucks, there are just too many good receivers to pick the "best." It's all subjective. To my ears, Harman Kardon and Denon provide more of a warm sound, (which I like) while Marantz, Yamaha, and Sony have more tonal impact. You need to try em out and see for yourself. I don't...

Sex and the City? Most unrealistic show depicting the actual people of NYC: "Is it possible that in this topsy turvy world that women and men can cathardically entrench themselves within a social structure that aims to please socially accute women who know what they want and how they want...

I have a question about movie channels in high definition, (I have HBO and Showtime) Even though these movies are being shown in my 1080i input, aren't they just 480p that's converted to 1080i? It seems if I watch training day on DVD and on HDTV, the film can't be broadcasted in 1080i because it...

This is very simple. If you like Buffy the Vampire slayer, you will hate the Sopranos. It's horrific acting, vs. some of the best on television. That's it. It's a drama. It depicts a different side to the mafia that isn't always fun and games. It doesn't have loud shiny things to keep people's...

If you want true computer bliss, you need a card that will output in 1080i. At this resolution, you will be able to read your text like a PC, remember that the resolution of a standard television is nowhere near the resolution of a good monitor (I run the Samsung 191T at 1280x1024 and love it.)...

Here is the thing you need to keep in mind. This is considered to be a "lower end" HDTV. It's under a thousand dollars. Anything you buy in this price range means that within two years, you'll probably want something new anyways. For me, buying a budget tv means being able to do workhorse stuff...

Two years before everything is broadcasted in widescreen? I will have to disagree with that statement. I really don't see how all the cable and satelliete channels with ditch 4:3 which applies to about 100 million people and only have 16:9 content. Granted, there will be a lot of 16:9...

I have to sway against the 30". I bought one for my daughter for her small townhouse, and the picture was fantastic. However, if you watch 4:3 television, the screen is going to be really small if you don't stretch it, and when you do, at that small of a screen size, it looks way too morphed to...

I'm no expert on 6.1 vs. 7.1, so take my opinions as just that, not sound advice. I have been dealing with a similar issue (although I'm pretty far away from doing anything) and what I've learned is that this is extremely subjective. I had the opportunity to listen to both setups (Klipsch...

And I can't spell either.

Older Carver tube amp. No digital. No special bullshit features. Just pure, an-adulteraded warmful stereo bliss.

Gary, Purchase the Denon at Tweeter. You have 30 days, if it doesn't do it for you, buy the Pioneer. Tweeter is sick because if you buy a Denon 3803 for 1200, they will give you 1200 back whenever towards the upgrade. So if you want another model later that is better, you have a 1200 dollar...

Gary, The answer to your question is whatever sounds better to your ears. That's it. If you pick a receiver because someone in here likes it and you don't, who cares? If one receiver gets better "reviews" than the other, but your ears don't like it, who cares? Go listen to both and pick the...

Thanks for all of the help everyone. I need to do more reading and listening to find out what I like, but the ideas were extremely helpful.

Thanks for all the responses. I think I need to do some more reading and get a better feel for what I need. I'm still in the rough stages. I want to end up with a real nice system that combines some good research and buying options to provide me with what I will need and something I can pass...

I am currently researching and looking at different options for my home theater that will slowly be built. Right now, I'm looking at my hub. I am thinking of either getting a Denon 5803, Carver Ultimate Receiver, or looking at seperates. The main concern for me right now is features. If I am...

Was at tweeter the other day, salesman said this tv is coming in a few weeks. Not only is it 1080p capable, it upconverts everything to this format. It will be interesting to see the results. http://www.toshiba.com/tacp/news/jan_08_03_lcos.html

I'm a Sony man all the way when it comes to direct view. I'm looking at a Toshiba RPTV. Anyways I got the Sony for a buddy of mine thinking it would be a good budget tv and all I can say is wow. It's a damn nice set for the price and after you play with the settings, set up a component DVD, it's...

No not sure. I did a google search and got not one reputable dealer which is not good. The 800 dealer seemed best. There were a couple other shady ones. Do they not make the stand anymore, it's werid that you can't get it directly from Panasonic.
