Rich (I don't suppose you have a sister named Amy do you?) :) It does indeed have 3 component video ins in addition to a multitude of other ins and outs that I don't know what to do with all of them! I won't be able to set it up until I get my basement finished (next weekend). I can't...

Picking mine up today.. woohoo!

For some reason I knew you'd know! :) Thanks -

Does anyone know if the Rotel 1056 is shipping yet? TIA

cool thanks!

If you want to go with in-walls, I'm thinking about going with the CWM200s for surrounds that use the same drivers as the 303s.

But if the speaker wires are not at least a foot from the electrical, but cross at a 90 degree angle, they should still be okay, right?

I have a sofa right up against the wall. The HT area will be roughly 15" x 15". One side is wall, the other open. If you're facing the sofa, there's a small window to the left of it. My dilemma is whether to go with ceiling or in-wall. Satellites are not an option as the only place I could put...

I've auditioned these speakers in the past couple of weeks. I'm curious to get people's opinons on these - even though I realize this is purely subjective. I've been auditioning the entry level speakers primarily (Paradigm Performance, B&W 300-series, etc.), and even though I feel I have a sense...

I will be finishing my basement where my home theater set up will reside. However, here is my dilemma: I have two support posts that are roughly 6' apart. I will be recessing the wall in between these two posts to accommodate my Plasma as well as my speakers and reciever. My initial thought...

Would this be a fair analogy: an HDTV signal (source) to EDTV device(output)? So, if you have a higher grade source, your output is likely to look (or in my case, sound) better, even if you don't have an equally higher quality output device? Granted, if you had a POS output device (1970's B&W...

I suppose what "sounds good" is such a subjective thing. But what's frustrating is that it's tough to compare when you don't have all of the equipment that you're interested in always available in the store. One retailer will carry B&Ws, but not H/K and doesn't have Denon in stock. Another will...

I'm starting to piece together my home theater. I like the sound and affordability of the 300 series (303 bookshelves, 300 center and 300 sub), and need a receiver that will be best paired with these speakers. I know that the Denon 3803 has received high ratings, but have not heard it with...

I'm assuming you'd be getting a entry-level HD plasma to pay $600 more. Would you not want to have a comparable HD version of the ED plasma that you like (I'm thinking typically $1500 more), versus just getting a low-end HD just because it's HD? What might be a good question to pose is...

Thomas - So you CAN simply hook up your cable box and view HD programming without any additional hardware correct? May I ask where you purchased your unit from, and how much you paid?

I'm interested in buying this unit as well. If you go to the EDTV vs HDTV thread above, there is a link to a page in the PlasmaTVbuyingguide.com site that discusses burn-in, and such. The biggest question is - where are you planning to buy this unit from? Most places seem to be out of stock...

Wow.. that article was good to read. Certainly comforting to know that Plasma technology is not as weak as many claim it is. Thanks Mike!

Steve - That's great news, if that is truly the case. Do you have any resources that discuss in more detail, as I would love to read more on this. Do LCDs have comparable lifespan, or do they indeed have a longer lifespan? I can't image owning a TV longer than 20 years... or heck, what...

Just to chime in my thoughts about this topic, since I'm currently in the process of making the purchase, and on the fence between HD and EDTV. As many of you have commented on the changing technology, there is one thing to remember. Plasma displays have a fairly short lifespan in comparison...

In the process of gathering info for my new home theater. I'm leaning towards purchasing the Panasonic TH42PHD6UY. If I'm correct, this is a commercial model correct? Does anyone currently have this model? I'm curious to know people's thoughts. How does this compare to the consumer model...
