Denon 3808 Denon 4308 vs Pioneer Elite VSX 92TXH Pioneer Elite VSX 94TXH Opinions please

Thanks for the responses... I keep hearing the Pioneer Elite is the best but costly. Any reason other than price not to choose this TV.

Chris, Thanks for the response. I only hear good things about the Denon 3808. What makes it your choice (Denon 4308)? How does the 3808 compare to or make it better than a comparable Yamaha, Sony, or Pioneer Elite?

I am looking for input for a new TV. I want the best but am capped at $10,000 (or a little under). *** I am limited to a width of only 58 1/2" Thanks in advance.

It seems there are so many choices for a quality receiver in the $1500 price range. I would appreciate any advice/opinions as to which is the best receiver and why. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the responses! I am seeing upconverting DVD players from $79-$3,500. Obviously the $3500 is out of my league. At what point does it seem to be beneficial to spend the extra dough?? My TV is a Toshiba Cinema Series 56MX195 1080P. I would think that it has a pretty decent...

OK, now that I have finally taken the step into the HD world I have a question that I'm sure many of you know the answer to. I recently purchased a Tosh. 1080P DLP TV. I am looking to upgrade my DVD player and am seeing some new DVD players that claim they Upconvert the SD signal to HD...

Thanks for the responses Micheal and Dick. Michael, what do you mean by this?? Dick, I lived for about 10 years in Vienna, VA. What part are you from? As for the price, this is a reputable retailer that has it on sale. They are also offering a 5% store credit based on volume and another...

I have chosen this set for our Bedroom. Any thoughts would be appreciated!! Does anyone know of another 27" LCD that has HDTV and/or Cable Ready along with a built in DVD player?? Where does everyone put their equipment when the TV is wall mounted?? (HD Box and/or DVD player) One...

Have decided on this set for our main TV area. Any thoughts on this set?? $2999 @ local retailer + free 27" TV. Thanks, Kirk

Jay, Thank you for your input. Yes the speakers on the side really limit what I could do with the Sony. I will look for and read the WSR articles you mentioned as soon as I know what WSR stands for. I was looking for specific input regarding the two displays I refered to above. JVC...

Well Folks, Several Months Later, about 6 to be exact, I believe I have narrowed my next TV choice down to 2. Would Love any input you knowledgable people may have as to which way YOU would go and WHY? I have chosen to go with a 56" RP HD set. I believe it will be big enough but not too...

Tim, I have seen pretty much ALL the brands out there, including the new flock of 1080p sets that just came out, except the new cinema series Toshiba. I understand the differences between the technologies but haven't "seen" them. I don't notice 'black levels' or 'rainbows', however, I have...

Well, Thanks for the input everyone. Especially allowing me to witness the 'pissing match' over who can "DUH" the loudest. The reason for my questions regarding the "Little Things" and "Ease of Use" issues is quite frankly it seems that most of the sets I have researched have very similar...

Well...Here goes, I have been researching and researching Big Screen TV's for far too long and learned more than i could have imagined about the technology and picture differences. My question to Owners is simply this. Are there any little things that you have learned to really appreciate...

Thanks Jim & Stephen, Just the kinds of thoughts I'm looking for. I agree with both of you!! Thats my problem...lol...;) There really isn't a heck of alot of difference between the 1014 and 1015. But then again, $80 isn't alot of money either. I heard the 1015 had dual or 2...

Well....Looks as though nobody would choose any. Or....Everyone is as undecided as I am. I understand this is a tough choice but would appreciate any input please. Thanks, Kirk

Now that the new Pioneer 915 and 1015 models are out the pricing of the older 914 and 1014 models are down. I'm going nuts trying to decide which to invest in. (and I've narrowed it down to 1 manufacturer) Hopefully YOUR input will help. Which of these receivers would you choose for the...

Wayne, Actually the VCR has this IF Emitter that actually changes the cable challen from the VCR. Sounds weird to me but it does. My issue is it is using 2 digit channels for reg. cable and the cable box has 3 digit channels so often times the VCR tunes the Cable Box to the wrong channe...

It's starting to sound like its not all that simple after all...LOL Actually, It worked out OK. Not perfect. I did run the coax. from the cable box to the VCR then S-Video and R/L Audios into the receiver. I also did S-Video and Digital Audio connections from the cable box to my receiver. Was...

Nathan, Sounds simple like it should be. Thanks, Kirk

Chuck, Ok, I'm begining to get it now. Obviously I need to run the coax. cable line INTO the VCR. Should this be done before or after the signal goes to the cable box? I believe the VCR has something where it automatically 'memorizes' channels. What are the advantages/disadvantages to either...

Chuck, Scientific Atlantica on the Cable Box. Model #2100. It has coax. input and output. digital audio output. video out and s-video out. and r/l audio. The VCR has r/l audio input and output. video in/out. s-video in/out. It also has antenna (traditional coax) input and output. Is...

I'm hoping someone can help!! I posted a similar thread on another board but think this might be a better place. My problem is being able to Record Cable TV to a VCR Tape. My system is about 3 yrs. old and i haven't got it straight yet. I will list my components and hopefully someone knows...

Ok, Here's my problem and I'm hoping someone can help. I am having troubles recording a VHS Tape from TV. I know this sounds simple and I'm hoping the answer will be too. My system uses a 6.1 Pioneer receiver with S-Video and Digital Audio hookups. The Cable comes from Digital Service...

No one has answered this yet. I would like to know as well. Thanks, Kirk

Thanks everyone !! I am going to fight my way back there today. Kirk

Hi James, Thanks for the response. Good question. I'm not sure. I had the shop where i purchased to the install. Ultimate electronics. I never felt it was connected properly. I'm going to have to journey back there. Should the coaxial cable from the cable box go directly to the receiver...

I am currently running a Pioneer vsx-850s that I purchased about 3 years ago. Due to space issues we are using 5.1 surround. Would it be worth it to upgrade to the vsx-1014?? What would i be gaining? Would i be losing anything?? (i believe the 850S retailed at over $600) Are there...
