Thanks Jim!

Any recommendations? I have $800 in Amazon gift cards and I'm looking for a ceiling mount projector that will be 11 ft from the screen. Currently have a 96" diagonal screen, but have room to go a little larger if I necessary. This is a space in my finished basement that will be dark with the...

Ok. The budget has changed a little. Since starting this thread, our bedroom TV has also decided to throw in the towel. So the BRD is no longer an option at this time. Considering the gear that I have and keeping my projector connected with component cables, is an upconvert player an option...

Looks like I might seriously consider the Sony 550. I can sign up for a Sony credit card and get a $200 credit for a purchase over $349 Or wait for the Oppo BDP-83? Price is always a consideration, but quality and ease of use is important to me as well.

This is exactly why I use this forum. I thought the dvi was for a computer connection. I should have looked that up. What about using optical for the audio? Does that open more options for me? I saw at my local Best Buy a Samsung BD-P1600 with Netflix and Pandora? What about a PS3? It would...

The ole' JVC DVD player has bit the dust. Since I don't have HDMI as an option, what is my best choice for a new DVD player? My HT: InFocus ScreenPlay 5000 projector - 720p DIY 93" screen - How-To: Make a custom projector screen (Need new DVD Player) Yamaha 5550 receiver - No HDMI...

Your screens look great! What are the dimensions of your rooms? We are in the process of finishing our basement and I'm not sure what size of screen to build. Our room is 17' x 14' with 7' ceilings. The couch will be 10' - 12' from the screen and I will be mounting my InFocus SP5000 from the...

Thanks Seth! I went to http://www.projectorreviews.com/advi...latescreen.asp and I'll just use the measurements for the 100" diagonal screen. Any ideas on where I can buy the material for making a screen?

We have started construction on our family room / home theater in our basement and I am stuck on screen size and where to put the projector. 1. How big and fixed vs. pull down? 2. Options to make a fixed screen myself? I have an InFocus SP5000 and after dividing the room into thirds (Per...

I am a newbie, but quite a few people on HTF recommended an Infocus Projector. I bought the SP5000 and it is awesome. I pulled it right out of the box and watched a movie on my off-white painted wall and the picture was amazing. My wife was actually impressed for once! (she usually hates all of...

Sorry for not posting an update sooner... I did get the SP 5000 on Friday afternoon and it is GREAT. Please understand that the largest TV we previously had was a 27"... so this is still all very new to me. My wife thought that this was just another gadget that I would have to figure out, but I...

You guys are great. With the Super Bowl and NCAA Men's BB Tourney coming up, it made more sense for me to go with the 5000 since there will be a few lights on and a few poker games played. I ordered it about an hour ago and paid the $5 for the two- day shipping. $999 (after $300 rebate) and...

Thanks for the info. After reading your replies, I was ready to stop by a store to see if they could demo a 4805 for me. But while I was on the phone, the sales guy started asking a bunch of questions. What about HD? He said all TV will be HD in the next couple of years? If that is the case...

Ok after looking at a ton of the pics in the gallery and reading threads, I noticed quite a few people using the Infocus projectors. I have found the Infocus 4805 and Sp5000 for the same price after rebates. I am in the process of finishing a space in my basement that is approx. 18x12 with a...

I have the reciever... now I have been looking at HT speaker packages for $500. I have looked (online) at the HSU Ventriloquist VT-12 six channel system with the STF-1 subwoofer and the Infinity Entra Point Five. My HT will be for 75% movies and 25% music. And the room is fairly large (great...

Thanks for the feedback. I must say that I have been really impressed so far with HSU. I had a few questions, so I called the number on their website. They answered my call promptly and I even got to talk to Dr. Hsu. He said to take some measurements of my room and get back to him. Someone...

Thanks for the links. Everything I read seems to be very positive. If anyone has these speakers, your feedback would be helpful. I am sold on the SVS that I heard at my friends house, but it is not in the budget. Is the HSU sub worth getting for $299? Thanks!!

Has anyone heard anything about the HSU surround sound package Ventriloquist VT-12 six channel system? A friend of mine was showing me his HT (which includes a SVS 16-46PCi sub, Klipsch center, front and rear speakers, and a Yamaha receiver) and he said that if I'm just getting started in HT to...
