You could go much cheaper buy buying stuff from Partsexpress.com That's what I did and it was very simple and easy to setup. Same thing as the HotLink, but cheaper. Don
No. My receiver has two component and optical digital INS and one component out. So, I can only have two devices attached to the receiver that can use component. I was going to get a switcher which would in effect give me the ability to attach for devices to the receiver. I hope that is clear...
Well, if the sub is on the stage....I don't know. I may consider using sand. I probably would. Just make sure you get it completely 100% bone dry. If you have a big heat lamp spead the sand out and bake it for a few days and everyday go down and turn it over. Just make sure it is bone dry. Don
You can use sand, and most people will tell you probably that sand is going to give you the best dampening effect, and it probably will. I chose to not go this route. I didn't feel like dealing with the mess and drying it out and everything that goes along with it. I chose to use insulation. I...
Hey all. What do you think about this http://www.uniqueproductsonline.com/...FRDAJAodvW-2nA as a component/Optical switcher? I will be needing one for a video game system I'm getting soon. Also, the HT is basically done with the exception of a few little things. Check out the pics...
I definitely fall in the gen X timeframe. I think a lot of gen Xers want to see the Wii do well as this is the system (along with Sega, and Atari) that I grew up with and took a big downfall with the GameCube.
I am very interested in a wii, but I have a concern that I'm sure many HT enthusiasts have. I am concerned about the Sensor Bar cable length. I plan on putting my Wii console in the back of the room with the rest of my AV equipment in my rack. The distance from the back of the room to the screen...
I used that wireguard stuff for some speaker cables in one room of my house and it is very easy to and paint. I have to say if you want an easy way to do it without cutting holes in the wall, that would be my pick. Don
Projector: I personally like Runco, but a little pricey. I also like Panasonic. You will want to try out and LCD or DLP projector. I would suggest going to a place that sells them and looking at the same scenes from a movie on both projector. See what you prefer LCD or DLP. Everybody is...
Onkyo. I have had nothing but great things from Onkyo. I will continue to buy Onkyo, but this is a fluke. It's been in storage a long time so maybe something happened. Not sure. Don
So, I got the ceiling in and all of the lights. The carpet installers came and installed the carpet. It was time to start assembling all of the fun stuff. So, I hung the screen got the speakers attached. Hung the projector. Got everything going. Finally I was able to do a little dry run before...
I'm using a front projector. It is a Infocus 4805 that I got dirt cheap. Pretty nice projector for what I paid. Screen is a DaLite. It is motorized so that my kids can't touch the screen when not in use. Speakers? Infinity surrounds. I like Infinity and always have. They are the Infinitry...
I have installed the ceiling, and all the lighting is hooked up. Thanks to my brother-in-law. It is really starting to look good now. Next is the carpet. That is going to be pricey. Have a look at my pics.
I know, but the main reason is a format war. I can't see putting down that kind of $ for something that is first generation, not completely accepted by all the studios, and is still a little expensive. I know it seems kind of silly, but right now the way it is, I'd rather get a up conversion...
screen? IMO Stewart Projector? I like Runco DVD HD? I don't know. I am personally not interested in the DVD HD thing yet. I know it is suppose to look better, but still way to expensive, and there is a format war. I'll wait. Speakers? That's a tough one. I'll let others comment on those, but...
Yes. You don't necessarily have to get those. You can go to the Home Depot and get things like that. They make moving heavy things easy. Another option would be to considter putting casters on the bottom. It's a little more work in that you would have to take everything off, turn it on it's side...
You should go with Onkyo receiver. Probably get one for $400 and maybe cheaper. Go to their website and see the different models and options. Speakers. You would have about $600 for speakers. That's tough. I would say get a set of FL, C, FR, RR, RL speakers that are spectrum matched. Then get a...
I've heard a lot of mixed reviews on RF. I've decided to go all IR, and went to parts express to get what I needed. If you want to know exactly what I'm using, let me know and I'll post links to products. For remote I'm going to go with the Harmony 880. No offense to those that are using RF, but...
I know that I have a hinged door on the back of mine that doesn't close flush against the back of the rack. Instead I made the side a little wider that the shelves top and bottom so that when I close the door it allows for a space for all of the wiring to go when the door is closed. This allows...
Personally, I have always liked Onkyo's stuff. I am sure many people on here will disagree, but it's just my opinion. I think they make good quality, and they have a lot of options. You can go to the onkyo website and see all of the current receivers. They do have some that are XM ready and many...
