Both available for $150, but I am having a hard time finding any professional reviews of these players and was hoping the people here could provide the information to help in my decision. Thanks!

Hello all. Just need some quick easy suggestions here. Looking for a cheap 5.1 receiver with a 2nd zone. Here is the deal. Is going in the bedroom, thats the 5.1. Masterbath will be zone 2. It is not a serious system. Will likely go with HTD inwalls and inceilings. Thanks!

Hello all. Hope this is the right section for this. I am interested in a 'music server' of some sorts. Have a little over 1,000 CDs in my collection. Using a 5 disc changer with this collection is just not working. Unfortunately, when ever I search "music servers" on google, I come up with...

Need a receiver for a 5.1 setup in the bedroom with a 2nd zone to run the speakers in the bathroom. Would like it cheap. All suggestions appreciated.

James Randi Offers $1 Million If Audiophiles Can Prove $7,250 Cables Are Better Our rant about those $7,250 Pear Anjou speaker cables found its way to the James Randi Educational Foundation (JREF), and Randi offered $1 million to anyone who can prove those cables are any better than ordinary...

Hello all. Need a budget receiver for a 5.1 system. Here are the components currently being considered. Mirage Omni 350s for the fronts, Omni C150 for the center and an SVS PB10 for the sub. Surrounds to be added at a later date in the near future. So what would be a good option...

Anyone own, listened to, or have opinion on the Mirage Omni speakers? Specifically the 350 and 550 models? How about advice on a budget receiver that would be good for running these along with the C150 center and likely a SVS PB10 sub? Comparable price range options would be greatly...

Hello all. I am a computer idiot. I know next to nothing about them and the language in ads and product descriptions is just confusing and means nothing to me. Here is my deal. I need a new tower. My monitor, keyboard, mouse, speakers, are all fine. I use the computer for email, internet...

Hello, I have the Marantz SR5600 receiver and want to hook up my 4GB iPod Nano to it periodically. What is a good, yet cheap product I can purchase to hook it up with? Also, needs to hook into the connection on the front of the receiver. Thanks!

Father just ordered Dish Network and signed up for a package. Got 3 rooms, 2 of them controled with the dual receiver. The dual receiver was supposed to be an HD receiver but I am not sure they gave him the right equipment. Plus it is hooked to the TV (Samsung HL-S4676S) by the old school...

Alright, I know HTIBs are not the preferred way to go, but some peoples living situation, interest (or lack of) in HT, and budget require them. Have a friend who just got a new 46" Sammy DLP. Looks great. Now he is looking for something a little "extra" in the audio department. He won't be...

My uncle has speakers in his cieling on his screened in porch. They are being driven currently by 'zone B' on his receiver (a 65W per channel Onkyo) and when they are run in conjunction with the main 4.1 system (no center) they are barely audible and he has to turn the volume all the way up to...

Alright, who is ready for a really big challenge? My father is currently looking for a new audio system, which in all likelyhood will get used primarily for movies and television. Lots of kids movies as well for the 3 year old and 5 month old grandsons. Now here is where it gets real fun. The...

Well, Black Friday is almost upon us and some of us will be out there fighting The Blue Hairs for deals. Who, what, and where are the hot deals on displays? Thanks!

My father's TV has been on the slow road to death recently and last night it finally crapped out. Now he needs a new one. Here is the deal. TV will be in an Armour. Center of screen will be about 15 inches above seated eye level. Maybe a couple more inches. The max width of the TV is...

Well, the JVC will be here Monday. Hoping you can help me on this. I think I am going to need some new cables to hook stuff up for best performance. The TV is the JVD HD-52G787. The DVD player will be the Panasonic DVDS52K http://www.vanns.com/shop/servlet/it...ures/486099489 And my...

Uncle is looking for a 37" LCD that will go above his fireplace. It will be connected via component (those 3 RCA jacks) and that is the only way it will be connected now and in the future. So no need for HDMI, 1080p, or any other fancy stuff. He will be watching regular cable and using a cheap...

Don't need anything fancy. Just looking for something cheap to install in a couple rooms. One of them being a bathroom (in ceiling) just to have radio in there. The others are in a dinning room/poker room to be used for background music, not so loud, but may get some volume use from time to...

I am leaning very heavily toward the Sony KDS 55A2000 and am about ready to pull the trigger. Best Buy and Tweeter are the only B&M by me that sell it apparently and they are at full $2,999 plus tax. HTF sponsors TVAuthority and VisualApex do not carry this TV as best as I can tell. Who...

Question for a relative. My uncle just custom built a new home. And with his design he needs a flat panel TV for over the fireplace, which is stone if that makes any difference. He doesn't want to exceed 42" and wants an LCD. Because of viewing distances, he likely shouldn't go below 42" either...

Looking at the Samsung HLS5688W vs. the HLS5687W I am hard pressed to find a real difference between them, yet there is a $750 price difference with the 688 being more. To best compare, here is a link that does a good job. Hope the link works...

Stores are currently getting the JVC model XXFH97 (56,61,70) But there are some places you can still snag a XXFH96. JVC no longer has the 96 versions on their web site and I am having a hell of a time trying to find out what the difference is between the 96 and 97 models. The 97 models are...

OK, I am tech challenged and tight budgeted. But I want a new TV. To my advantage, I am in no rush but would like to do it in the next few months. Preferably before Christmas. My requirements. 50", 52", 55" or 56". WAF will not allow for larger than 56". NO DLP and NO LCD and NO Front...

In the market for a new TV, but not in a hurry. Really like Sony's LCoS (SXRD) and the JVC HD-ILA. Its between those and a Plasma. 50" to 56". Stumbled across 1stopplasma.com today and had never heard of them or seen them mentioned anywhere before. Anyone have experience with them? They have...

I have Dish Network for my satellite service and after several months of service they decided to start charging me $5 a month because I don't have the receiver hooked up to a phone outlet. The reasons they want this are obvious (pay per view, etc...) They, nor the phone company (who the...

In the past I have been 100% against an RPTV. They just didn't do it for me, and I disliked strongly the 'off angle' viewing of them. Be it DLP, LCD, or old school CRT. I hated them. But recently JVC's HD-ILA and Sony's SXRD versions of LCoS have really caught my eye and I am giving them...

Hello all. I am pretty new to this home theater stuff. This site was wonderful in answering questions on equipment choices. Now I have an issue that needs resolving. I have a Marantz SR 5600 receiver, Marantz CC4300 CD player and will be adding the Marantz DV4600 or other DVD player shortly...

I am a newbie and know virtually nothing about TV's, new technology, features, functions, etc... Last time I bought a TV was in 1997. The one thing I know is that I will not buy a rear projection TV under any circumstances. I just can not stand them. I have a budget of $2,000 +- a few...

I saw a post on here a while back and can not find it. I am installing in-wall speakers this weekend and need to paint the grills to match. What is and who makes the device that is best suited for painting these grills? I remember on the post that someplace online sells them for like $25...

I saw no appropriate forum for this to go in so I put it here. Admins please move if it should be. I am looking for some guidance on affordable line conditioners. The Tripp Lite HT10DBS come highly recomended, but it a little above what I would prefer to spend. It can be had for $75 with some...
