I've been a bit disenchanted with ebay of late. But I had poked around previously. The prices were no better than what I've been finding online (not surprising, given that most of the ebay listings were just online merchants. :) Thanks for the tips though. These items looked a little too big...
I'm fairly space constrained on my seating, so was looking for comfortable "theater style" seating. Price is a concern. I've not found anything (new) of this sort for less than $299. Anyone have a better source? The best prices I've found to date are at: htmarket.com and...
Does anyone have any experience with this chair? http://www.htmarket.com/forumrocker.html I'm looking for one or two rows of three seats (haven't yet decided if we'll use a couch for the first "row"). The price looks pretty good on these units, 3 for $1047, free shipping. I also see an...
This is a very informative thread, Thanks folks! I've just about settled on a Spacer system for my small media room. (13'x14' room). Direct view Loewe Aconda (so no need for a projector) Design goals: Use a Harmony Remote (IR) to drive the "scenes". I also wanted to drive the ceiling fan...
No worries. But I do like the q-tip idea. Come to think of it, I have lint-free swabs (basically like a q-tip) for printer cleaning. That would probably be even better. I guess eagerness to get going with my new toys always prevented my brain from thinking about it. ;)
Er... well, yes. I've been using this stuff for PC repair/maintenance for years, never had problems with equipment from overspray (It is supposed to be safe for it), but then, this isn't simply a PC... Hmmm
What is the consensus on contact cleaners for cables/connecters? I've been using a product from MG Chemicals on mine for some time now (spraying the female ports on my equipment and the male ports of my cables and connectors). http://www.mgchemicals.com/products/801b.html Does anyone...
This may have been the case. The symptom was only visible with the 2815 in progressive scan mode. While outputting non-progressive the text on the screen was not blurry. Cables were the same for all these tests (monster-way-to-expensive-cables). I still wonder how to determine if the TV's...
I've a 38" Aconda, and am very pleased with it. I've attempted to calibrate it myself using only user menues and the DVE disk. I've heard claim that the Aconda looks best with a non-progressive scan DVD player vs. a progressive scan unit. When I first hooked up a new Denon 2815 in progressive...
Has anyone compared the Lutron Spacer System line versus Leviton's Decora Home control line? http://www.leviton.com/sections/prod...d/npleadin.htm It looks like it uses the existing A/C wireing for communication (similar to if not actually X10). This would solve some of the wiring of I/R...
Ok, I've resolved my issue. It was partly resolved by resetting the Loewe's settings for that input to defaults. This immediately cleaned up the "washed out" appearance of the picture. I was using the superbit version of "The Fifth Element" to check out the 2815. The text in the first few...
I've seen reference to Region free hacked firmware (for the 2910), but what about bug fix firmware updates? I just scouted out Denon's site, but I do not see anything along the lines of a downloads section or updates page. Am I just stuck with what came on the player or can it be updated...
Really? I thought it sounded pretty good. I just hope I can find titles I wish to own. :) My tastes are not normally in sync with pop music. :p) I guess I need to search online for DVD audio stuff.
I too recently picked up a 2910 unit. It was replacing a 2815 (which was an open item, and displayed fuzzy text in progressive mode, weird...). Anyway, I've never used SACDs or DVD-A before, so this play was my first experience with it. The only disc I found at the store that I was familiar...
Marc, Here is my setup. [Denon 2815 DVD_Player]--component video--> [Denon 3805 Reciever] --component video--> [Loewe Aconda] (Edited, I'd enclosed the string "component video" in angle brackets, which the board seemed to interperet as html tags, and they were not displayed, sorry about...
Hello all,
I'm jumping into this thread two years after it began, :) ...but I'm also a denizen of Austin, TX and will be diving into a DIY Home Theater project soon. (House is still being built).
I'm going to be creating a small (2+3 person) Home Theater in a small room I had adapted for...
Hello all, As my old DVD player (interlaced only) has been on the fritz of late, and with a new DVD "blue-laser" player format war ensuing, I decided to replace the failing unit with a middle of the road unit (Denon 2815), figuring that for CD's the carousel would be a nice feature... Anyway...
