With that being said, is it really worth my while to have a bluray player right now? I am sure I am getting 720p now which is better than what I was getting through a regular dvd (progressive scan) player, right? I have watched a few movies and I do see some difference. I am really glad I didn't...
I have a Yamaha Lpx-500 projector that is over 4 years old. It does not have a hdmi input but it does have component and dvi inputs. The projector states it can accept a 1080p signal through RGB only. In today's hdmi world does that translate into...1. I am screwed with this projector to receive...
I know that (right now) I will not be able to record hd signals. But, could I hook the sony hd200 receiver to a tivo box and at least see recordings in analog (god forbid). As much as I hate the quality of my old ultimate tv directv receiver....I am having trouble getting comfortable with not...
I am looking at getting the sony hd200 hd receiver. I understand that it has a dvi connection as does my yamaha lpx-500 projector. My question is will the dvi serve as an all purpose video connector (for hd and non-hd signals) or will I have to have component video hooked from the hd receiver as...
Thanks for your input everyone. I believe tomorrow will be the day I take home the big box..........now all I need is 5 (maybe 6 or 7 actually) boxes to arrive from Sean to put that puppy to work. Chris, I can relate to your comment on never having a flagship before. I figure if I have this...
Thanks Adam! Like you I was only looking at the 3300 and tried not to be romanced by the z1 because of the price. However I want to make every effort to do everything now (I have this financial window with my wife that could close at anytime..:) and have as many inputs/outputs as possible...
One thing I have heard is that the Yamaha remotes are not the best. If I find that to be the case with my purchase...what would be the best universal remote to buy? I will have a yamaha projector too so it would be great to cover that as well. Thanks, Marty
thanks for the feedback! Any others out there that had trouble with the z1. Any others that have the 2300 or 3300 that have good or bad things to say? Thanks, mc.
Anyone have any comments on the Yamaha s2300...I have done some research and it appears to be the best multi function unit out there. I would appreciate your feedback. Thanks, Marty
I am close to buying the Yammy z1 and would appreciate any feedback from anyone out there. I also am looking to buy the Yamaha dvd s2300 player. I have done some research and this looks like the best multi function unit. Thanks for your help. Marty
I am looking at the Pioneer Elite Dv-47ai. Anyone have any feedback on that unit or have a recommendation to go in a different direction? Thanks, Marty.
Thanks Bill. I did get the manual but there is a separate set up guide that is in Japan. I have seen similar questions from folks with plasma screens with no cable in....is this the same situation? If I hook my satelite cable into my satelite receiver (this is a non-hd receiver because for...
I apologize if this is a stupid question but I just received my yamaha lpx-500 projector from Japan and some of the set up is in Japanese and I need help. One of the things I noticed was that there is not a hook up for a regular cable or satellite connection (you know the old prehistoric ant...
Thanks for your help everyone. I could get the yammy z1 for $1900 which is about $700 to $800 more. Do you think it would be worth it? I am wondering if I would need the xtra component input. I plan on having hdtv satelite, hdtv digital cable, dvd of course amd tivo all hooked to a...
Because I have just purchased the yamaha lpx-500 projector I have been leaning towards the yamaha rx-v3300 receiver. It seems to have a lot of bang for the buck (I want as much versatility as possible with inputs, outputs etc). Just about everyone reading this has more experience than I, so I...
Thanks. I am looking at the Axiom Epic 80 package which has the m80ti towers Qs8 surrounds, vp150 center and the ep350 woofer. For the Rocket I am looking at the Ht Package #2 which is the rs 750 Tower, Rss 300 Rears and the rsc200 Center. I already have a decent woofer if I go this route...
I have spent quite a bit of time on this site today and it seems that 2 names kept repeating themselves....axiom and Rockets. I first went to the axiom site and felt like "this is it" these look perfect..but before I turned off the computer I said lets see what the rocket thing is all about...
The biggest question that I have for the moment is will the Yamaha rx-v3300 (8 ohms) work with the psb 6t, 10s, 9c speakers (4-6 ohms)? Also any feedback on what I am thinking of purchasing would be great. Projector - Yamaha lpx500 (already bought it) Projector Screen Dalite 8'x6'...
