I've been having a recurring problem with my HDTV: the picture intermittently goes out for few seconds. At first I thought it was the cable signal, but realized that there is no sound interruption (going through a receiver) - just the video. Only other thing is that it doesn't happen watching...

LCD ... question is: will it be big enough? My TV sits about 10-12 feet from the couch and while my current 27" is okay, the 30" flat panel seems - i don't know - smaller. I also have to opportunity to sell it and upgrade to a 32" for about $600, but is it worth the hassle? The other option is...

I've noticed recently that with certain DVD's, my dialogue is out of synch with the movie. My set-up is pretty standard: two month old Sony DVP-NS775V DVD player connected to an old Sony TV (S-Video) and running sound through a 6 month old Yamaha HTR-5740. It's sort of weird because sometimes...

Looking for some help here .. I just brought a new HT receiver home and am now confronted with way too many connections issues. Might be a dumb question, but is there any "must have" set of connectors/cables that I should buy? For example, I need to connect my DVD player and my cable box to the...

Hey all, I'm looking for input on a good receiver for both movies AND music. If the salespeople I've spoken to are to be believed, Arcam and B&K are the only ways to go. The only problem is that I'm looking in the $400 - $500 range. This is my first system and it will be upgraded in the next...

My local Paradigm retailer just offered me a deal on the Paradigm System 1 (2 Atoms, CC-70, PDR-8, and two more Atoms instead of the ADP-70's) for $750. However, when I looked more closely they were Atom V.2's. Anyone know if there is a huge difference between these and the V.3's?
