    Calculation of Receiver Power / Watts

    I would like to know if htere is a formula to calculate the receiver power per channel needed based on room volume. ( I mean just as a rule of thumb, speaker efficency, etc will complicate it.) Does anyone know of such a formula, I've tried searching for it here, so far, I haven't found it.

    Sharp XV-Z9000

    I have the Sharp XV-Z9000, but the Japaneese version. It is only 1 year and 4 months old. I have used it less than 60 hours, and now I have a problem with it. No picture, took it in for service, and they think it is the ballast, about a $300 part. Of course, it is out of warranty, which may not...

    Denon 2900 issue

    I recently purchased a Denon 2900 DVD player. I have been very happy with it, except that there does not appear to be a screen saver function, you know, like when you pause it or it comes to the end of the disc and goes back to the menu. Have I not read my manual thourghly enough, is there some...

    Who else is excited about the Denon 2900?

    Thanks, I read that over. I have the Sharp 9000 projector with a deinterlacer built in, but if there is a better one, I'll take it. I understand sometimes one might be better in some situations, and not others.

    Who else is excited about the Denon 2900?

    I feel I would be interested in the group purchase it has been release and we know the real deal. One thing I'd like to know more about is the "Powered by the Silicon Image/DVDO PureProgressive (SiI504) Decoding Engine"? Will that be better than the "DCDi by Faroudja"? Faroudja has typically...

    Home Theater Dimensions, projector placement, etc.

    Hey! Thanks for the quick replies. Reading the manual, it looks like I could have a 16:9 screen 92" x 52" or 106" diag., of course that would probably be too large. Maybe it I just had a couch at the back of the room. In fact with the project at 18' I could conceivable project a 133" diag...

    Home Theater Dimensions, projector placement, etc.

    I am unfortunately restricted to a relatively small room for my dedicated home theater. The maximum width it can be is 11', ~18' in length, 7'6" to 7'9" in finished height. The projector could be mounted in the room behind the theater and project though a hole in the wall if that would help. I...
