Jack, I have been hunting projectors for about 6 months and so far all roads come back to the XD300U. Now I am shopping round for the best price. I think I am going to wind up paying around $2250. I am also looking gfor lumens because I don't have a totally dark room to work with. I can't...
$500 give or take $300. I will use this mostly for DVDs and a computer later. There is a lot of ambient light during the day in my living room. I was trying to go with a brighter projector for that reason.
I am getting ready to tak ethe plunge...and I have it narrowed down to two candidates. I am looking at the Mitsubishi XD300U and the Dell 4100MP. Bothe projectors have good reviews so I looked at the lower ones. The reviews at www.projectorcentral.com say that the 300U had rainbow effect...
I am looking for inexpensive speakers for my garage. I do a lot of work out there and it would be nice to have some music playing. I have the receiver and CD player....now I need speakers. If you have any old pairs of speakers taht still sound halfway decent but are a little to beat up to keep...
I don't like the small OSD that my H/K 7200 has on the screen when I play DVDs. If I mess with the volume it comes up on the bottom of the screen. I can look at the receiver to see the volume. before I play a DVD I have to go to the advanced menu on the OSD to shut it off. I have to do this...

I set up a whole-house speker system in my place. I am using a H/K AVR-7200 for the theater room that feeds a signal to a H/K PA-4000 that drives the speakers in the rest of the house. The spoeakers in the rest of the house sounded flat. It turns out the AVR passes a raw signal through to...
I would like to stay below $1500 if possible. Inknow this may not be possible so I am open to more expensive projectors. I posted earlier this week about this. I have a picture of my living room I can't upload.
Ok, I have more data for you guys. I am setting up a home theater in my living room. The projector has to be 14' from the screen. The trouble is the wall where the image will be projected is small. I figured out that I can barely squeek in a 66"W by 49"Tall screen on that wall between the...
I am setting up a home theater in my living room. I have a picture of the room but no web site. I don't know how to post a picture from my hard drive. If someone can help me withthis please let me know. Anyway I measured the throw distance and came up with 14 feet. I am not sure what size the...
I am new to the projector thing. I am getting into HT install and can get a good price on the Optoma unit. Daniel: The speakers are in-wall and in ceiling. They look like car speakers when they are installed. Go to www.jbl.com and check out HTI series. Where are you located? I am in Santa...
I am setting up a home theater in my living room. I completely remodeled my house after a fire and I thought this would be a good time to set up the theater. I have a in-wall speaker system set up with JBL Northridge series speakers and a 12" powered sub. I have what I call a "tray ceiling"...
I am setting up my system this weekend. I have a H/K AVR-7200 driving JBL in-wall speakers and and external sub and center. I have heard the that the EZ-Set system that comes with teh AVR-7200 can be somewhat *lacking* and others have used an inexpensive SBL meter they bought from Radio Shack...
I am looking for a power strip to protect my electronics. How do you guys like the Monster Cable HTS 1000 MKII? I found it for $149.95 + free shipping. Is there a better option for about the same price? What would you do. TIA for the help. Bob Elliott
I just bought a HK AVR-7200 and a DVD-25. I want to protect them from power spikes and surges. This is the first time I have ever bought a surge protector for good equipment. What shoudl I get? What shoudl I look for? Know any good deals? It's hard to buy something when you don't know what you...
I just received a HK AVR-7200 and all I can say is WOW! The sound is crystal clear and spectacular. I don't think i will ever put the volume up past 1/2 way. So far I went up 3/8 of the way and the music from one room fills the whole house and you can hear it outside. I got it for $1000 from...
I found a RCA brand optical cable on EBay that I bought for $8. I hope this one will do it. The link to the auction is http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll...ory=14965&rd=1 Do you think I did the right thing?
I just got home from Thanksgiving vacation to find that the AVR-7200 I ordered arrived while I was gone. Unfortuneately I don't have my home theater speakers installed yet :frowning:. I am putting flush-mount speakers in my walls. Anyway I unpacked the beat and the DVD-25 I bought and put...
I don't mean to beat a dead horse, but.... I checked the back of the TV. There is no video output, just a right and left audio. How can I record the higher cable channels on the VCR with this television? The VCR tuner goes up to 125 but for channels higher than that I don't know what to...
I am looking for a VCR for my dad. He wants to be able to record stations he gets on cable. The problem is all the VCRs I have seen only go up to station 125. He wants to record channels like 270 and 415. Is there a VCR that will do that or another piece of equipment or way around this problem...
For double the price what is the difference? It seems like you are getting another 15Watts per cahnnel and that's about it. Also I have a friend that insists that the AVR-525 is not a real 7.1 reciever, it used teh Logic 7 feature to make 7 channels of sound. Is this true? Is true 7 channel...
