    "If you could see any band in history..."

    Because I've seen many of the current bands already posted....I'll list the top three that I was too young to get a chance to see at the height of their skills... - Zeppelin - Zeppelin - Zeppelin.......... (although VH live back in 1984 was awesome...or maybe I was just too young...)

    420, 780, 1080

    ---A little bit of a PITA though, as you have to reset it to output 1080i and/or 720p when there is real HD content being sent over the HD feed.--- If the box was set to PASS, would you still need to adjust when an HD signal came through?

    Projection LCD owners - childproofing screen

    Derek, I purchased the 50" Grand Wega about a year ago (could not possibly recommend it more)... anyway...I have a 5 year old and a 7 month old, so I too had those concerns. As far as fingerprints, smudges etc, the 50-60" have a built in screen protector that works very well. Usually a wipe...

    "Matrixed" rear channel

    Curious as to the majority preference when it comes to utilizing a reciever's ability to "matrix" a rear center channel from a 5.1 source. When I initially purchased my receiver, I always left it on the setting where it creates a rear center feed from 5.1 (DTS or DD), thinking that if I have a...

    Dented Tweeter.

    The other day I was cleaning off my speakers (B&W 601's)...when I took off the faceplate, I noticed that the Tweeter dome on one of the speakers had "caved in". After testing both speakers (the other one was fine), I could not detect a difference in sound. Does anyone know if the sound quality...

    Dolby Digital EX...5.1/6.1?

    Can't seem to figure this out....I was on Dobly's website...it lists DD EX as adding a additional speaker, effectively providing for a 6.1 environment. However, I have several DVD's listing specifically DD EX 5.1 Surround Sound. What is the difference? The DD EX 5.1 (Return of the King, for...

    "Loudness" Question

    Based on information I have received on this site, I believe I now have my speakers correctly set up, with my sub correctly set as far as crossover goes. How does the "loudness" option on my receiver fit in? Is it unnecessary if the speakers are configured? Will it "distort" some of the effects...
