Hello, I have yet to receive my HD Television, but just got my HD DVD player in the mail, and am doing a firmware update. I signed up for netflix, for the widest selection of HD DVDs, and just got the first disks from them. As may be obvious to some of you, they are certainly not flawless...

Okay...yesterday I watched an all day Trek marathon on G4, which was composed of the old, unadultered eps. Today, I caught the last half hour of an episode with this painfully fake creature (can't recall the name, I believe its listed in some former post). Anyhow, this is my reaction: Based...

Ahh very good...I was wondering about the validity of breaking-in to begin with. And yes, I do have the Athena speakers. Thanks again.

The manufacturer of my speakers suggests a 50-100 hour break in with a "wide-dynamic range" cd on repeat (wide dynamic range??). In any case, if I have a CD in, wouldn't that only be playing on the front three speakers, leaving the back ones un-broken in? If so, are there any 5.1 channel "break...

Hey there, Relativly new to home theater. Purchased a well-rated HTIB system for my parents. Problem is, the included speaker wire is too short to reach the rear speakers (I have to thread the wire to them in a round-about way). Simple solution is purchasing a spool of speaker wire from a...

Any information on philadelphia (kyw) airings? thanks

That yamaha reciever I was referring to was a 1300 dollar reciever posted at 430. The seller confirmed the fact that it was a misprint. In the end, I ordered the Pioneer receiver highlighted above. It is the most inexpenisve Pioneer that implements HDMI, yet has a very nice feature set for...

Any information on NBC broadcasts in the Philadelphia area (KYW)? On Saturday evening I checked the broadcast schedule via Yahoo TV, as well as the guide on my cable box, and it listed football all through primetime, until 11, then news and late shows, and then (I believe) paid for...

Thanks a bunch, def. appreciate it. I was milling over what to do with the sub. Being as this isn't a system that's for me specifically (just providing recommendations), and being as the individuals who are actually getting it aren't nearly as particular as I am, I think I'll just "get it and...

Okay, I know that the Toshiba HD DVD player (after checking manufacturer site), has digital Coaxial audio out, and optical audio in...being as I dont want audio going in, I'm assuming I would want to go with Coax out as my audio source? Toshiba recommends the coaxial audio over the DACs because...

Hello again, Hopefully I'm not wearing out my welcome. This is my second or third question in the past two days... In any case, I've got all my equipment picked out. Im using the Pioneer VSX-1016TXV receiver. The only reason I'm going with it is because it accepts HDMI. From what I gather...

Very good...now, will the reciever recognize the fact that the audio coming from the HD box (via optical or otherwise) is associated with the HDMIed DVI cable, or at least have a way to set (for example) HDMI port 1's audio to the aforementione digital audio in?

Okay, I'm not a total idiot ;-)...I'm well aware that square footage is length times width, okie dokie. However, this is where it gets sticky... I'm helping my parents set-up an entry level HD home theater in their basement. The attached diagram better illustrates the floorplan than any...

Okay, I do realize the merits of going with one of the higher end recievers. However, this home theater setup is not for me. Rather, I am providing recommendations and installing the system for my parents, as they just remodeled their basement and are looking to get a competent, but not...

Hello, The Comcast HD box (Motorola DCT 6412), has a DVI-D port on the back. If I were to get a DVI to HDMI converter, and plug the HDMI wire into my reciever, would I get audio in addition to the video? If not, which I think will be the case, is it possible to use the DVI-D to HDMI for video...

Okay, this is my second go through typing this up. The first time around it was broaching book length, so I decided to get to the meat of my query right away. Instead of rambling on forever and talking in circles I'll make it real simple: I plan on getting the Samsung HL-S4666W 720P 46" DLP...
