    HD Cable Box / HDMI Hook-up Question

    Thanks. I'll be prepared to go either way. The way I look at it (no pun intended!), if I use the component video connection, then that will free up another HDMI input on my AVR-2807 for the inevitable "next device"... Maybe that Blu-Ray box in a year or so??!! Cheers/WW

    Bi-Amp vs Bi-Wire my Speakers - Help!

    Hi all: I just installed my all-Klipsch 5.1 system (RB-81-Mains, RC-62-Center, RW-10d-SW, and 5650-S-Surrounds) and was reviewing my receiver (Denon 2807) manual and saw that I can take my unused Surround Back amp and "Bi-Amp" my front main speakers, if I chose to. The manual says this would...

    HD Cable Box / HDMI Hook-up Question

    I am about to receive my new HDTV (Sammy HL-S6187W) to go with my Denon AVR-2807 and DVD-1920. As some may know, one of the reasons I went with both this set and the Denon AVR is that they support HDMI direct in/out. My plan was to take Comcast's HD cable box's HDMI out and run it through the...

    To Hire a Pro Calibrator or Not - HELP!

    Thanks Chris: While you were replying, I checked out their website - appears to be a tad more user friendly than DVE. Will probably go the Avia route. I downloaded your guide and will consult that as well when I have the chance. Many thanks again! Cheers/Wendell

    To Hire a Pro Calibrator or Not - HELP!

    Hi all: I should be taking delivery of my new Sammy HL-S6187W within the month (from TVA) and cannot figure out whether to have it professionally calibrated or whether it can be a DIY job. I've been working with a pro-installer to the extent that I've bought my speakers and remote through...

    Need Advice on Background Color for my DLP

    Hi all. Finally getting to building my "dream" home theater in our barn/loft - suffice to say, I'm wanting to do it right and am spending a reasonable amount to be sure to do it that way! I am building a custom bookcase for all of this to fit in, and am creating a "cubby" for the TV (a 61"...

    Denon DVD-1920 - Opinions? Advice?

    Just bought a Denon DVD-1920 to be (not opened yet) my "temporary" DVD player for my new Samsung (also just ordered) 1080p/i DLP. Now I'm concerned that this was not a good choice, seeing occasional "iffy" comments about Faroudja chips, et al.. Any comments from anyone? I've always had good...

    SAMSUNG HL-SxxxxW's - LED vs Traditional - Help!

    I'm inclined to not be an early adopter of a yet unproven technology, I'd guess. Make sense?

    SAMSUNG HL-SxxxxW's - LED vs Traditional - Help!

    SAMSUNG HL-SxxxxW's - LED or Traditional? Hey all: I thought I'd posted this last week, but it never appeared, so here goes again: I'm getting very close to taking the plunge on the Samsung HL-S6168W RPTV, as it seems to have found that "sweet spot" of great reviews, great price, and...

    Opinions on Sony Sony KDS-R60XBR1 60" HDTV?

    Are you talking about the ones with the traditional light engine/color wheel, or the new LED light engine? Was the set you were referring to earlier in the thread the LED or the "traditional" DLP? Thanks

    Opinions on Sony Sony KDS-R60XBR1 60" HDTV?

    Hi all. I'd like to chime in, more with questions than answers. I'm within a month or two of (I thought!) purchasing the R60XBR1. This thread intrigues me, and maybe one or more of you can enlighten me... I will look at the Samsung, Gregg, but in the meantime, how much will I really be...

    Guidance on Screen Size Please

    Hey all: I'm in the final planning stages of my home theater and, while I am waiting another month or so (the last responsible moment!) to purchase my TV (RPTV) in hopes that some new models come out (this will be another post!), I am just wanting to be sure about the screen size. I've seen...
