So, to start off, for those shopping for a first HT, an explanation of how I got this for $450. I won the receiver, but I've seen it for $199 online. The Pioneer DV-563a I got on Ebay new in the box for $158 shipped. I got the Polk RM6005 Center and 4 Sats for $160 on ebay, too. Also new...

What's the max? 8.1? I'm designing a dedicated home theater room and I've got this vision of a circular area with an arsenal of small speakers wrapping around it.

Just looking at the Dolby.com website and noticed the movie dubbing studio drawing. I counted 15 speakers. Is this doable with home equipment? What does it take?

I have a Fender Strat and I'm wondering if it is possible to connect it to my Harman Kardon 125. Can I kill the reciever? Can I listen to myself through in glorious 5.1 while trying to jam with the late great Roy Buchanan? If it is possible, what cables/accessories do I need? :star:

Mike, I have the 563 dvd player also. I LOVE it. Thanks for the info. I'm definitely getting the remote soon.

can you set up "play a game" as an activity?

Thanks! That's exactly the kind of site i needed.

Well, of course that would be great....but it's not an option right now. What I need is some input on the best way to hook up what I currently own.

Pioneer DV-563a DVD Xbox 27" tv with S-video Digital Cable with analog outs HK 125 receiver I'd like to get the Xbox looking and sounding as good as possible...as well as movies, dvd-a, and sacd. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Tempting, but I'm still going to wait until the good stuff comes down to $1000... I bet a year from now you'll be able to buy a 50" LCD thin wall hanging set for $1000 (I hope). Right now, I'm willing to watch my 27" 'unflat', 'unhanging on the wall', 'un HD', TV.

The Pioneer dv-563a plays SACD AND DVD-A, as well as the other run of formats (cd-r, and so on) I got mine for 139.99 on ebay. This dvd player has gotten rave reviews on this forum

Looking for a website that sells these....

Ahhh.... That explains why no one replies to my topics.... You guys have already exausted my questions! This forum is the national directory of audio/video. :star:

Who makes the very best.... Receiver: Speakers: Amps: DVD: Can't help it, I want to see the stuff I can't afford.
