ive had the 74 for several months now. I love it. I personally love the Ipod interface. I have tons of my music on a 40 gig ipod and it is AWESOME! I am not an audiophile by any stretch, but I know what sounds good. For those worried about this new model and its weight.... this ai a non...
1 more thing. I think I am going to have a special pull out table/drawer that will hold a playstation. Can anyone think of anything special to have built in. i am already planning on having both sides have pull out spots for dvds and cds. Am I missing anything? thanks again, corey
This is not for a theater. This is in my living room. I have a sectional couch that sits 19 inches high. I moved the set to 25" off the ground and I liked that, so I think Ill go with that heith. I do not have to worry about rear seats and I think I dont want to have the center channel that high...
My brother-in-law is in business making entertainment centers. He is excellent and Ive seen his work and its great. He is going to do one for me and I have some questions. This is going to hold my 61" samsung dlp tv, a 10" sub, my center channel...... and here is where some questions start...
this was posted by a Pioneer Rep over in the Avs forum in regards to the amps sections on the 74 and 72. May explain to some of you why the amps didnt test well. I have already said I dont care about the test, my ears tell me the amps arent a problem. Hey Everyone, I am still here...
I used an SPL from Radio shack set up at 12 feet from the center speaker and while listening to the DTS track of Clapton's "One Car, One Rider dvd, the spl meter hit 104 decibals on "Cocaine," with the volume at "0" on the 74txvi. Those test results dont mean squat to me. I go by my ears, and...
Well I got the Pionner up and running. I am no expert in home audio, so keep that in mind. I was able to get through the setup procedure with the new MCACC pretty easy. I have an energy es10 sub, and the MCACC flashed a screen that said the sub was to loud and to turn it down. Once I got it...
Just ordered the new pioneer elite 74txvi yesterday, will be in on Thursday. This is replacing a Yamaha rxv-2090. I cant wit to get this thing in and see what it sonuds like. Ill post my impressions shortly after I get it.
I have a question that I can not seem to answer myself. I have recently purchased a Philips 30pw9100D HD tv. I originally had my dvd player hoked up into the component inputs. When I switched my dvd player over to progressive scan, it would not work on these inputs. I couldnt figure it out...
I bought a cheap Oritron dvd3119 for 19.99 for my bedroom. I recently bought a Philips 30pw9100d HDTV for the same bedroom. When i bought the cheapy dvd player, I had no idea it had progressive scan capabilities, heck, i probably didnt even know what progressive scan was. Anyway, I hooked up...
While reading a thread on the new VSX-74TXVi that will be coming out shortly, the new pioneer seems to be a very good receiver for the money. What are your opinions of this receiver vs the current top of the line flagship. I personally love the ability to plug in an ipod to the receiver. I...
I will be watching both movies and tv. I will be watching football on sundays and like my room open and bright in the daytime, a projector is out for that reason. I have had a 60 inch for the past 6 years, and like the big screen. The 70 inch jvc can be had for 4k delivered, I was just looking...
I have been reading up as much I can to educate myself and came across this tv for a decent price. Opinions on this set positive and negative would be helpful. Size of tv is not a major issue(not screen size) and spending 5K and up isnt really appealing to me. Thanks. What is the...
Thanks for the replies! You're right Corey, I'd never pick the right thing. I took him out yesterday and he picked out a Toshiba 44NHM84. Not quite hang-on-the-wall, but even I'll admit it has a nice picture. Glad I could help. Ill have been married for 18 years this sept., and I...
If your husband has a 65" hDTV already, im guessing he is into his TV. For his birthday, you should take him to --------------- (enter store) and tell him to go pick out a new tv for whatever room you are putting it in. If my wife went out and picked out something like a tv, odds are it would...
Michael, I just got a 30 inch Philips HDTV with built in HD tuner. I have direct tv and am not willing to spend 200 bucks more for an HD tuner( or 700 bucks for the HD tuner with tivo) as the amount of HD material is limited. I set up a 50 dollar OTA antena and I am able to receive all of...
After rereading my DVD owners manual i figured it out. I was unaware that the second set of component inputs was for progressive scan. WOW, Incredibles looks.... incredible. Cant wait to shwo the wife this picture.For 699 and a built in tuner I am pretty darn happy. Maybe shell like this...
I just bought a philips 30pw9100d this weekend. This was for my bedroom and it didnt bother me to purchase an open bof for 699 from best buy. as a result i have a "user manual" that shows how to do hookups, but i think another manual may be missing. Anyway, at philips site it says this is...
Well I actually got several of the channels to come in, but the small inside antenea is the problem. I weill take it back today and get an outdoor one. Thanks for the help.
Bought a philips 30pw9100d today and got an over the air antena with a 25 watt amplifier. This antena only has a 75 ohm coaxial cable coming out of it. This will supply the hd signal to this set? Im reading the manual, but it doesnt seem to explain much. I have it connected to the only...
I currently own a 60" mitsubishi, non HD set. It is about 5 years old. I have direct tv and use super VHS cables to send the signal to the tv. Even SD looks very good on this TV. Now compared to HD??? But that is an entirely different animal. After having a 60" tv for 5 years, I dont think I...
I have had a mits 6o inch rear projection big screen for about 6 years now. The thought of going down to a 50" widescreen is not real appealing to me. I have seen the WS-65515 mits for what appears to be a great price in comparison to plasma and LCD screens. Size of tv is not an issue with...
I am looking to buy a pair of mains. I currently have a yamahay rxv 2090. My room has semi vaulted ceilings and is about 20x30. I ahve cermaic tile floors. I will likely be upgrading my yamaha in the next year or so. I do listen to music, and loud music, Mostly rock. I watch a lot of movies...
I have never really paid attention to the ps2 when it comes to playing dvd movies, but I saw something that made me wonder. On a dvd rom game it showed the DD 5.1 on the game. Does the ps2 have an optical output that gives off a DD5.1 audio signal?? Thanks
I just borrowed the Eagles DVD and it does not have a DD 5.1 audio track, yet it does have DTS. This disk was from 94 i think. Any rerason it would not have DD, yet has dts?? Thanks
I know the read and write times are on the drives themselves, but do these numbers on the disks themselves indicate the speed in which they can be written on?? thanks
So is there any real benefit to HBOHD if the original source isnt in HD? What would the difference be in watching that movie on standard HBO vs HD HBO?? Thanks for the information. This broadens my understanding of this stuff a little more. By the time I am ready to buy an HD set next year, I...
