Hey all, My wife has wanted to paint the theater black, so this weekend that's what we did. Here are some pics before all of the decoration are up (posters, pics, etc).... I like it! You'll notice a red accent wall as well. (please don't mind the low-res pics, hi-res pics will follow)...

Hey all, In the rear of my theater, I have a giant mirror on the back wall. It's about 4'x15'. About 25 feet away (the other end of the theater) is my 65" mitsubishi HDTV. I have a 6.1 setup, and the surround backs are on the back wall above the mirror.... Anyway, i realize that this mirror...

Hey all, I have this surround setup -- and am extremely happy with it: http://cerwinvega.com/products/homea...ies/avs51.html Now, My question is -- I am trying to properly set the crossover in the receiver, and I want to find out what the Hz range is for the main loudspeakers. The spec...

Hey all, I have a new Pioneer VSX-515-K 6.1 receiver. I decided to go with the 2 rear center-back setup. Now, I know everything is hooked up correctly -- however, when I go to receiver setup (which allowed me to choose 7.1) and do the manual test tone level adjustments, it seems that when...

Hey all, I have my New Panasonic receiver about 4 or 5 inches to the left of my new RPTV. In the past, i would have thought nothing of this, but in reading the manual for the receiver it said not to place the receiver on top of TV's as it may cause magnetic interference. That made me wonder...

Hello, Ok -- I have a question. I just bought the Pioneer VSX-515-K (you can see the exact specs here: http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/p...etailComponent). It's advertised as 6.1 on the box. But many times in the manual it mentiones how to set it up for 7.1. It also has 2 (two) seperate...

Hey all, I just bought a new Mitsubishi 65" WS-65313. I love it! Now i understand that there is a red-push issue and it can be easily fixed with an attenuator. I hear people talk about this all the time, but i have never actually seen one for sale. Where can you get one for cheap? I have...

Hello.... I am looking to buy 8 non-crimp banana clamps for my 6.1 receiver. I prefer the wrap around, or the screw together type -- this way I can reuse it.... However, the cheapest place I thought i could find these was radio shack, but they wanted $8 for 1 (one) set. I thought that was...

Hey all, I just got a new Mitsubishi WS-65315. I have a Panasonic RP-82 DVD player connected via Component. Now, From what I understand, using the progressive scan option on the dvd player, and having the TV display a 480p native resolution would be the best picture (without controversial...

Hey all, Ok, the way that my theater is setup leaves about half the room behind me. I just bought a Pioneer VSX-515-K (upgrade from a 2 year old D411 5.1 model - good upgrade? ) Now, I want to add a center-rear speaker for 6.1. As of now, the ideal place to mount the speaker would be behind...

Hey all, I have a Pioneer VSX-D411 right now and love it. However, I am ready to upgrade to a 6.1 receiver. The one that is in my price range is the Sony STRDE598 6.1 receiver (here: http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Sony-...oductDetail.do) I know that everything about this will be an...

Hey all, I need some advice. Someone at my work bought a Hitachi 50UX11K, i believe it is a 1992 model. They had no problems with it until about 5 years ago when "it went black" they had a technician come out and "replace the picture tube". Then about 1 year ago, they decided to buy a newer...

Hey all, I am renovating my current “theater.” Right now. The room is lit by 3 fluorescent bulb units (you know, the 4 foot kind) behind a wooden frame covered with plastic lens. These are evenly spaced over the entire ceiling. The frames are about 12” x 50” What I plan on doing soon, is...

Hey all, From time to time read about people saying that they work in the Home Theater Department at BestBuy -- I was just curious how many of you actually do? Curious, Matt

Hey all, I have read around on the differences between DVI vs. HDMI vs. Component. Basically, as you may know, they all pretty much agree that the PQ can be VERY close with all sources depending on the source. However, the question I have was never specifically touched on... I'm going to be...

Hey all, What are some of the prices you have found (in actual stores) around town for the Mitsubishi WS-65315? I am curious how the price varies across the nation, and what stores have what prices... **To anyone that works in the TV department at Bestbuy, what is the "at cost" price that...

Hey all, As most of you know, I am getting ready to get monster of a TV known as the 65" Mitsubishi WS-65315 RP HDTV. I checked at the local BestBuy here in Detroit, and the salesperson looked in the system and said that that TV is slated to be discontinued by BestBuy in July, and there are...

Hey all, Since I am not down in my theater everyday, I like to keep the subwoofer powered off when I'm not using it. I always find it annoying to walk over and power the sub on every time I use the theater. Now, I have a nice Pioneer receiver that's about a year old, and it has a power...

Hey all, I was wondering which of my movies would be best to use to show off my theater. For picture I usually use one of the newest Pixar films, but in this case I am mostly worried about Sound -- although DTS is my fave, DD suggestions are welcome. I have a 5.1 setup. So, which movies...

Hey all, A little over a year ago there was a post about where to find Hi-res pics of the abovementioned logos to print for homemade signs. There were some great submissions, but all of the links are bad. I was hoping to revive the topic by asking that people submit pics of their homemade...

Hey all, I have read about people applying a matte to the edges of their tv's to enhance contrast, etc. However, if i have a widescreen TV, and the DVD is 16x9 enhanced, and in turn, properly filling the entire screen, would there still be any benefit to applying a matte beyond the edge of...

Hey all, Ok -- I have read around and have gathered the following -- please let me know if I am correct... I have a nice, new 5.1 surround setup in my theater, and don't plan on buying a 6.1 receiver anytime soon. Now.... If A DVD has DTS-ES 6.1 (matrix), then the "center rear" would...

Hey all, Ok, I currently use a DVI interface for video and an Optical or Coax cable for audio. Now, as far as I am concerned -- this one of the best setups you can get... However, reading more and more about HDMI, there are a few basic things that just don't make sense.... Ok, let's say...

Hey all, I am thinking about what surge protector to get when I get my big screen. My whole theater will be plugged into this protector, essentially. Now, there is a $99 monster brand surge protector for 'home theaters' at best buy. There is also a cyber power brand protector for 'computers'...

Hey all, Quick question. I am confused between 2 setups as to which one gives a better signal. I am interested in which is better for HD CRT big screen as well as HD DLP widescreen. Which is better: 1)Progressive scan DVD player hooked up via component video cables Or 2)A DVD...
