I have the Yamaha HT-5860 and am trying to run my Xbox through it using just the standard video hook up. Both mty Componant IN are being used and I'm sick of switching it back and forth. I only ran the componant lines to my projector (very difficult to run). But my receiver will not up-convert...

This is 15!!! I can't post a picture until th next one, so I hope this works, I'll try and squeeze this last post past the admin so I can post pictures. They're awfully strict! :-D

Look at this, 14, one more and I'll be able to show you the picture, it looks like you can pick from 4 or 6 ohm output. And I was also thinking maybe with this particular unit, the Yamaha HTR-5860, it has "presense speakers, which are supposed to be behind the front speakers. I've got my front...

This would be 13, I sure would like to post a picture here...:D

I would like to post a picture here, but I am at 11 posts, so this is 12. I found a picture of the speaker panel and it says someting switching the ohms. I wish I could a picture...

Thanks, the ohm comment will definately help, I am planning on putting this ina cabinet with a fan that's plugged into the female ac plug in the back so whenever the amp is on, the fan is on blowing the hot air out of the cabinet. I saw a set up like that in a house I was selling, and thougt it...

Okay, I know I'm not half as into this as most of you guys are. I am almost finished with my basement theater, and will be buying a new Yamaha 980W 7.1 Receiver. I have pre-wired for 9.1 (2 Frt, 1 Cntr, 2 SR, 2 SL and 2 Rear.) which was probably over-kill, but I have a couple of questions. A)...

I am all but convinced to buy the Panasonic AE700, but I wanted to get you alls opinion first. It seems to me like DLP is a more "cutting-edge technology" but I have read SO MANY good things about the panny, it's hard not to be convinced. I just don't want to out of date by having an LCD. I...

I know, I know, I should buy a screen and not project the image onto the wall, but for right now ($$) it's not an option.... I will be ordering my PannyAE700 on Monday, and throwing about 17' giving me about 110", sitting 15-17' away, with virtually 0 ambient light. Now, I have read (and...

I am in the process of wiring my soon-to-be finished basement theater, and I need about a 35ft. Subwoofer cable. I don't like Monster, but I am looking for a quality cable at a reasonable price. I have been searching for the best price acame across this site...what do you think? Too good to be true?

Yeah, I was planning on that, that's code actuallly, anything within 6 ft of a water source has to be GFCI. I was more concerned about the humidity levels.

This may not be the best place for this thread, so feel free to move it if you need to, but... I am finishing my basement with a theater (sort- of) in it, and the only logical place, and the place with the shortest run for component wires (i.e from amp to projector) is building a cabinet...

Thanks Tad! Like I said I haven't even started studding the walls yet, but I'll will certainly document my progress (if anyone cares) and take pictures etc. Thanks for the tip!

BTW- From what I read, all the 360 games are being required to support 480p as a minimum. There won't be any upconverting. unless it does turn out to be backwards compatible, then obviously your old games would be.

I am psyched about the 360. And from what I hear, the 360 comes not only from the "3" having to be in there, but something about the fact that Xbox has come full-circle or something along those lines. I don't remember where I read that. If you want to get excited about the graphics, take a...

I don't consider myself a beginner, so forgive me if this is in the wrong Forum. I am starting construction of my basement, in which I plan on centering around my home theater. I haven't gotten any specific equipment purchsed, or in mind for that matter, but I wanted to ask a few preliminary...
