I have a trade show coming up where we need to hook up a laptop to a large monitor for display purposes (mainly software demos). The hire charges for these monitors are absolutely huge so I figure a viable alternative may be to purchase a DLP TV such as the Samsung HLN437W 43" for example, use...

It was extremely easy to replace the amp. My experience doing this type of stuff is fairly limited but I was able to do the work and get the sub to function. I was extremely careful to read through all of the instructions and take my time. I used the old fashioned method of removing and...

A final footnote to this saga. Ron and Erik from SVS were extremely helpful and responsive in attending to my problem. After exhausting all diagnostic options with me they quickly shipped me out a new amp to put in the sub. I wish that everyone I dealt with (including in business) was...

Yes Erik guilty as charged - it was me you spoke to. At the time I was trying to get a number of things working properly so I when you quickly rattled off some suggested fixes it didn't soak in properly to my already confused brain. I was trying to get things sorted out before I contactd SVS...

Thanks for everyone's comments. A few general comments: * Speaker size was set to SMALL * Indicator light on the back of the sub is green regardless of whether the sub is connected to the receiver or not (seems strange to me) * I used both auto and manual testing modes - same results. * I...

I just took delivery of a new PB2-ISD sub + a Yamaha SX-V1400 receiver. Bearing in mind the fact that this is the first sub I have ever owned + the new receiver replaced one that was 6-7 years old my "experience" is limited to reading the manuals that came with each piece of equipment. 1...

Rich, the shots were awesome - blew me away. Makes me wonder why the hell I have been considering 55" DLP and CRT jobs. I intend to use your screen shots as a means to "sell" my wife on a plasma. A little outside of the "toy budget" in terms of cost but I'm sure I can start bringing my lunch...

For what it's worth I have a similar problem. I have an old pair of Klipsch KM-6's for the front and a KV-2 center speaker and was looking at putting in ceiling speakers for the rear as well. Not may people seem to use them although I have been told that ceiling speakers should be O'K. I was...

I think I may have answered my own question. From what I can gather there is a new generation of DLP's coming out mid year so this should hopefully reduce the price of the ones that are selling now. If I'm going to spend $$ on a DLP TV I may as well wait for mid-year rather than spending money...

I have the opportunity to pick up a Panasonic PT52DL10 for around $2000. From what I can gather these models were great DLP's with one of the main problems being the intensity of the blacks in lower light situations. Bearing in mind the current cost of other similar sized screens this seems on...

Thanks for the replies - that helps out a lot. The room itself is 16' x 20' but one of the longer sides opens up into the kitchen/breakfast area that has an approx area of 10' x 20'. Also 10' ceilings so lots of opportunity for the sound to "disappear". Obviously not an ideal HT setup ...

I found a website that is really good in showing what local channels are available in your area. You can just enter an adress or zipcode and you can see what is available. You may have to email me for it because it is tied to a website for a manufacturer of antennas (I'm not promoting them -...

I'm in the process of upgrading my current audio/video setup to be more home theater friendly and I'm trying to work out which components I can salvage. I'm replacing my receiver with a new Yamaha RX-V1400 and am going through the HDTV debate i.e. rear projection v/s DLP v/s LCD v/s plasma (of...
