I just moved into a smaller space, and with the sale of my house had to say goodbye to my home theatre. For the past 1.5 years I've had to make do with my projector on a primered wall, with sound only from a single speaker. No receiver, no Blu-ray, just my laptop as a source. Anything would be...
I just renovated a completely unfinished basement to create our apartme--wait, I'm trying to avoid that term... our HOME, and am currently in the AV shopping phase. I would like an Atmos receiver so I can get some HEIGHT to my audio sound stage.
Chu said "I think the 1400 has a slightly higher bandwidth (down 3dB@60MHz) while the 5660 is down 3dB@30MHz ... one generally wants a bandwidth for the device to be ~3x the bandwidth of the signal you're pushing through it in order to avoid noticeable degradation. Regular DVD is 6.75 MHz...

Here I am ready to order the Yamaha 5660 receiver (basically like the 640) and someone else in this group mentions (in a different topic) that they suggest the more expensive 1400 "for its HDTV capability". Excuse me? Isn't a receiver for *sound*? Why the mention of how a 1400 is HDTV-ready...
I have a Boxlight 1HD – same as a Sanyo Z1 – projector. I’m in search of a DVD payer, with about C$300 [US$200 ?] to spend. I want to get the best quality picture for the money. I’m a little upset by the 1HD’s strange breaking up or funny quilt-like pattern I see during panning scenes over...
