Thanks for the reply Jason. Actually I do want to have the audio coming out of the tv and the surround at the same time. It seems the center speaker does not provide enough volume. I have to turn up the receiver volume too high and the neighbors complain. I am trying to get the voice audio...
Ok I have a panasonic 50" Plasma, PS3, Onkyo 7.1 Surround Sound, and Cable/DVR box. All are connected and work. The TV has 2 hdmi outs: 1 goes from the tv to the dvr, the other goes from the tv to ps3. The ps3 and the dvr both use digital audio going into the onkyo receiver. When I watch regular...
Hello All, A few months back I decided to upgrade my old Home Theater and bought the Onkyo HT-S5100 7.1 after reading reviews and hearing it in a few stores. I am getting too lazy to buy each piece individually and I think the package price was excellent. Anyway the system sounds pretty good...
Thanks All. I ended up with a ps3. Now I just need to figure out the easiest way to connect everything.
Steve your brother seems to have a very similar set up to mine. Maybe you can tell me the best way to connect everything. I have the following: Panasonic 50" 720p plasma Onkyo 5100 7.1...
Thanks for the suggestions/comments guys. I want a blu ray palyer not just for the enhanced picture quality but don't they provide better audio too? Also I have been told blu ray can play more formats. ie: dvd-r, dvd-rw, cd-r, cd-rw. I hope I am not mistaken here. Now I just have to decided if I...
I am looking for a budget blu ray player but am not sure if it will really be an improvement over regular dvd because I my 50" Panasonic is only 720p. Will this plasma tv be ok? If so can anybody suggest a modestly priced player. My budget is 200-300. Thanks...
Can we revisit this thread with suggestions in the $300-400 range? I am looking for a HTIB that I can later add a blueray player to. I don't think I need more than a 5.1 setup. I would also like one with wireless rear speakers if possible. Thanks.
Thanks for the response. I just want something that works and sounds decent. I am not an audiophile (sp?). Mostly this will be used for movies and tv. Not radio or music.
I've searched and search but can not find an answer. I have piece together systems in the past and really do not want to spend the time or money doing it again. I am looking to buy an HTIB for around 300-400. I want one that comes with a dvd player and wireless rear speakers. Is this available...
I think it's the TV. It's at least 12 years old. There is only one regular coax connnector on the back. And yes there is a menu on screen that lets choose antenna or cable. Well thanks guys. I think I'll just buy a new tv for the bedroom.
Here is a pic of what I am looking for but it need cabinets on the bottom. Ok pic doesn't want to attach so here is a link. http://www.bushfurniturecollection.c...dProduct=15654
Ok this tv is an old CRT model. No HD. I just want to recieve regular OTA broadcasts in my area. I am in Miami. The antenna I bought is a Phillips UHF/VHF/FM indoor antenna. I got it at wallmart for about 10 bucks. It only gets 1 channel. I can get one channel by just plugging a coax cable in...
I've got a regular CRT tv in the bedroom that is not connected to the sat because Direct TV charges too much. I bought a $10 antenna at walmart but it only picks up 1 channel. I have gone through the menu for the tv to scan for local channels but can't get anymore. I am not in a rural area. I am...
That's a very nice stand and I know I have come across it in my search I want something that is semi enclosed to hide dvd's and whatnot. I also want a pedestal design where the tv is suspended above. Thanks for the pics. Nice doggy.....
I recently bought a 50" plasma and the old tv stand does not look good with it. I have been looking around for a replacement but can't find anything I like in my budget. I want something modern with storage room. The new ultra modern look is ok but there is no place to store anything. Anybody...
Thread Hijack Alert!!!! So if I want to use a tv to recieve over the air broadcasts what is the best antenna to get. I checked antennaWeb and they listed a bunch of different color codes that I do not understand. I just want to receive local channels for a tv in the bedroom without having to...
Ok lets try it this way. If you have a HDTV and HD DVR, how did you connect it to your surround sound. I'm about to just go out and buy a new bose surround sound system since they sound pretty good.
I just bought a HDTV and HD DVR but don't know the best way to hook it up to my existing equipment. I The tv and dvr have hdmi input/output. I also have a Onkyo 573 reciever that I want to use as a switch for different inouts. Can I use the tv's speakers as my center channel? I just have 2 r30...
