    Stream Video from Netflix, Amazon Instant Video and Local Movies from Tablet to TV

    Thanks for the info. Sorry, about not knowing about the WiDi part for the tablet. I'm just now doing research on this as I just thought how nice it would be do that, but that's pretty dissappointing they don't have any available yet. I would have thought tablets with WiDi would have already...

    Stream Video from Netflix, Amazon Instant Video and Local Movies from Tablet to TV

    Thanks for the quick response. That does look like it will work, although I'm not sure if the latitude 10 can do Intel WiDi. Do you know if it would work with it? If not, do you have a recommendation on a tablet that could do the job? Thanks again.

    Pixelation in Movies

    Hello all, Thank you for all your responses. I did find out the the problem was composite video. When I was able to connect it by using component video, everything looked great. The sony dvd player is only temporary and I plan on getting a much better player in the near future. I would...

    Pixelation in Movies

    Hello All, I had just set up my new Sharp XV-Z12000 and am really admiring the picture quality. I notice though at times there is some pixelation in the picture, which seems to occur on smaller images in the picuter with brighter colors and sometimes occurs on fast moving objects. I've...

    Manufacturer Restrictions Question

    I appreciate your repsonses. I can see that by giving the RX-Z9 free reign to be sold wherever on the net (by people who don't care about the people or product that their selling) could devalue their brand image. I would think though that Yamaha's restriction of not honoring their warranty...

    Manufacturer Restrictions Question

    Hello All, After researching possible receivers to buy, I had narrowed my choice down to the Yamaha RX-Z9. I was in the process of looking for on-line retailers, to find the best price, and found that the authorized dealers that carry the RX-Z9 can't ship the receiver out of their local area...

    Surround Sound Speaker Placement

    Hello, Thanks for the response. I was planning on doing a 7.1 system. When you said 9 speakers, are you saying to use a surround speaker for each row by splitting the signal coming from the receiver? Thanks, Robert

    Surround Sound Speaker Placement

    Hello all, I am running in-wall speaker wire and was wondering what the correct placement would be for surround sound speakers. I will have two rows of seats about 3-4 feet apart. Would the surrounds be placed on the walls directly in the middle of the two rows or would they be placed...

    Proper Screen Size

    Thank you for the link. The site recommends about 125 inches diagonal for 14 feet and 80.5 inches for 9 feet. If I get the screen size optimal for the second row seating will the first row still have a good experience or will it not be as good? Or should I pick a size between the 2 to have...

    THX Question

    Thank you all for all your replies. I think that I am getting what THX is about. Basically, "the THX label" guarantees that that piece of equipment will perform as THX requires it to through processes that THX required it to have. But some other components may incorporate these processes that...

    THX Question

    Hey Guys, Thanks for being patient and understanding. Sorry. I had read over several receivers and that had THX Surround EX decoding (in which the dvd's would be encoded). What I was aiming torwards was asking if you do not have a receiver that can decode THX Surround EX then would you...

    THX Question

    Thanks for all your responses. So basically, a certification gives you the comfort of knowing what you buy will work the way it should. But, even though it is certified does not mean it will perform the way I would want it too or at least to my listening preferences. I was leaning towards THX...

    THX Question

    If you buy a THX certified receiver, dvd player, and/or amp, but do not buy THX certified speakers. Would there be a significant difference, because you didn't buy THX certified speakers? If so, what would the difference be?

    Convert Car Audio to Home Theater

    Thank you all for your responses. I think I have decided to use the equipment as it is (or sell it) and not try to build new enclosures. I will probably focus on buying new stuff made for the home. Sorry for the misspelling of MDF, I was going on my memory which sometimes doesn't work that well...

    Hello, I am looking to build a really good 7.1 system in a room with 23X15X9 dimensions for around 30000 (I could probably do more with a little begging and pleading). As far as getting into the real specifics of home theater I'm just getting my feet wet. I know that THX Ultra 2 or THX...
