    So the HK does have a sync delay, apparently it was staring me in the face all along. Thanks!

    What would cause a lip sync delay?

    I just put together my home theater using a Samsung 5667 DLP, Harman Kardon 630 receiver, Aperion 533PT towers and the rest is balanced out by an Onkyo 530 7.1 package (cheap). I'm connecting the dvd player (Samsung 950) to the tv via an HDMI wire and to the receiver via the optical digital...

    Just bought the TV/DVD/Receiver/etc - need help with cables and connecting

    Thanks for the help! I guess my major question is, will the optical cord provide the 5.1 or 7.1 surround via that one cord? I'm used to the 5.1 Sony my parents bought about 5 years ago which needed like 6 RCAs to connect up. Will this one cord do it all? Additionally, I do know that the...

    Check out what I ordered! Aperions and HK 630

    After posting many questions here on what to get, I finally broke down and Ebay'd myself a Harman Kardon 630 for $435. Since I spent a bit more on both the TV (Samsung 5667 - $2250) and on the receiver than I had originally planned, I jumped on a set of Onkyo 530 7.1 speaker combos for $220...

    Best Upconversion DVD Player Under $400?

    Hey guys, I just purchased a Samsung 5667 DLP yesterday and should take delivery on saturday. I currently own an older Sony DVD player, which has progressive scan, but not much else in the upconversion or higher quality tv inputs. What players out there offer the best upconverstion for 720i in a...

    BEST DLP 50" and 60" TV'S??

    The "bachelor's pad" thinking is probably because its a radical design, but my guess is beyond famale reasoning, so we'll leave it at that! Oh yeah, IT IS STILL A BACHELOR'S PAD!!!!;) I'm really leaning towards the 5085 (last year's model with n 8.0 from cnet.com -...

    BEST DLP 50" and 60" TV'S??

    Greg, since it seems like you're in the know about these things, do the DLP's lose clarity with the bigger the screen you get? I mean, they all use the same "guts", but it seems as though the screen is the only thing that changes. Would a 50" 5085 Samsung serve me better than their 60"...

    BEST DLP 50" and 60" TV'S??

    I've recently looked at buying a DLP tv, focusing on the Samsung offerings, mainly in 50". Last year's model, the 5085 seems to have most of the features I'm looking for, plus its pretty unique, but my girlfriend hates it, she says its too "bachelor's pad." The price can't be beat at $2050...

    What HT in a box would you buy for $12 to $1500?

    I don't understand why, but when I click on this forum, I'm getting old threads. I'll have to recheck my saved "favorite." Sorry for the Lazarus!;)

    What HT in a box would you buy for $12 to $1500?

    Well, if you want to buy seperates, I just listened to the JBL stuff recently and I'm definitely going to be buying it! What I've learned from here and listened to in person, my 5.1 setup will be: Pioneer 1015 - $410 JBL E90's - $440/p JBL E30's - $130/p JBL EC35 - $165/one Dayton 12"-...

    http://reviews.cnet.com/Aperion_Inti...3.html?tag=pop They also make two cheaper systems, but this was ranked BY FAR, the best of their cheaper stuff.

    Help Build My Home Theater System

    Naaaa, you didn't give me much to think about, since its kinda been on my mind all along. The HK HTIB was a 5.1, which I was later going to add on the best front speakers I could afford, but it would have started me with good stuff that I could watch some movies on. So basically, you put me...

    JBL E80 or E90 - Is this it?

    What's the best price you've found on these things? I've located them for $440 shipped so far, but no better. I was hoping to land em for $400 though.

    Help Build My Home Theater System

    One was geared more towards the receivers, which is settled, this is moreso for speakers. Oh, where would the best (cheapest) place be to buy the JBL EC35 and E30's? Do you think its worthwhile to up the front E30's to E90's and run only one sub? It adds $150 to the overall price, but...

    John, you're definitely correct! This is more fun anyway, although somewhat unnerving, since its a lot of money and a lot more than I originally wanted to spend. Now, I'm going to take a ride tomorrow to BB/CC and test the speakers they have on display. They pretty much have the Infinity...

    Help Build My Home Theater System

    Any opinions on the Athena Tech Micro 6 system and their Point 5 system? Which would be better for home theater use? Are these systems any good or should I get away from "systems?" I'd probably get the Dayton 10" sub that everyone is raving about as well. I think my budget for now has to stay...

    Help Me Find A Great Receiver For Under $500

    So it looks like my options are being drastically reduced to two models, the HK 335 and Pio 1014/1015. What are the pluses and downsides of each in comparison? My online research basically said that the Pio has LOADS of features and that the setup is really really easy on it with the MACCAC...

    Ok, so if I went with the Pioneer or HK 335, which speakers are a MUST HAVE to later build upon?

I have some old POS technics speakers to use as...
