*Update* Just went to BB and found one I think I like. It's got an 8.something inch screen. It's Insignia or whatever their "store brand" is and it's only about 80 beans, on clearance. There was another one there buy a better brand (don't remember which brand tho) that was about 10 bucks...

This looks like it's the best place for this thread, since there isn't a portable home theater section. LOL!! I'm looking to buy a portable DVD player. Read my sig and you'll understand. I need to know what is a good buy at a very reasonable (a.k.a. nice-to-my-wallet) price. I'm looking for a...

Samsung is great in my experiance. I've had a handful of different models and the Samsungs always worked the best for my fiancee and I. We're looking into the 52" and 26" LCD HDTV's. 1080p and 1080i, respectively. As far as the receiver goes, I don't think you can go wrong by buying an Onkyo...

I made it! So, First I wanna say sorry for the double post, but no one posted between my posts. I made it to BB and checked a few things out. I'm still going with the Samsung 52" 1080p LCD as the main TV. I also decided on the Samsung 26" 1080i for the secondary TV, possibly a...

Yeah, that was the other thing I was thinking anyway. I had a problem like that recently at work. I brought my PS2 in to play (during downtime, come on guys!) and couldn't switch the TV to aux or s-vid whatever I was using. Anyhoo, I actually drove to the radio shack and bought a 20 dollar uni...

Makes sense. Remotes don't mean a whole lot. I'll prolly replace the clutter of a half dozen odd remotes with a Harmony 880. Menus are always dumb, but you adapt to them. As long as it's nothing like Windows 95, I can deal with it. :rolleyes:LOL!!! I'm just eating up all the overtime I can at...

You mean, buy one take it home, set it up, listen to it. Go back to the store, pick up a different AVR, bring that one home, hook it up, listen, repeat? That's too much work and listening to them in the store is not gonna work right. It'll never sound like it would in the house with the...

Keep in mind, I'll be moving into an apartment so running wires thru anything is out of the question. If I were to do that much work to an apartment, I'd throw in wall to wall and a double sink inthe bathroom. LOL!!! I need to start using my head a little more. We did the same thing for my...

Cool. That answers that question. So if I want a high quality sound, I should invest in a few extra throw rugs. Noted.

Both look very nice, but I think I may end up going for a Onkyo. Most of them look like they would work very well and (not to stereo type, but) the Chinese/Japanese electronics seem to last a bit longer and be a better bang for the buck. Just my .02¢. Thank you all for your help!

1K is for a one bedroom. A 2 bedroom is about 1300 and three bedroom is about 16+. I have one friend I would possibly move out with, but, after the last time I moved out, I don't want to deal with the shenanigans of living with other people. I got tired pretty quickly of having to clean up after...

I live in New Jerksey, The Tax State. I refuse to move out with friends. I've seen too many of my friends move out with other people that they thought were their friends and had them, all of a sudden, not have their rent money or lose their job and not find one for months. The best I could do...

Okay. I found DVE on Amazon. Good deal. Looked into the 720. Very nice, contemporary design. Overall, the 880 is a bit cheaper over the 720, so I'll have to see them side by side in a store and physically touch them. Both look like great tools. I like the idea of having the wires coated grey...

Yup. It's fun, actually. I kinda feel a like a renegade. It's kinda cool, except when I'm bored out of my brains. That's why I need a job that is salary/paycheck until I can get my financial business built and have revolving profit, so-to-speak. I need a place to hang my hat. Somewhere where I...

I know being the low man in means, I'd be the first to go when the time comes, but either way, it's way more secure than anything I can get elsewhere. What I have now, they would for the most part let me get away with a lot, but that is because they can't afford to lose me and I don't get paid...

^ Noted, thanks. I had tossed around the idea of getting used speakers, but there are very few things I will buy used. VERY few. LOL!! So, stick with a basic receiver. Nothing too extreme. So a 400-500 receiver would be a good bet?

It's not a bad gig, if you can get past only making 16K a year and living out of your car. My problem now is, through situations I will not explain here, I am living out of my car (which is kinda broken to boot). I shower either at the gym or at work, which sucks, and I'm sleeping at my GF's...

Cool. That remote is AWESOME! I'll pay the 140 for the new one!

Good to know. I wasn't planning on going into ATC, but I know someone who is. Thanks for the heads up man, I hope things turn around for you. OT, Cool dog!! What breed?

Yeah, It would be used for normal TV as well. It would be the main tv in the apartment. Mainly Cartoon Network, Jerry Springer and Maury. Thanks for all the tips.

Could you PM me a link for the mounts? Heading to Amazon to check out the remote now. Thanks for you help!

Okay, so long story short, I'm gonna list my HT system set-up and I would like recommendations (with prices, if possible) on places where I can "tweak" my system. This is a representation of what my completed system will be. I have none of the components yet. I am very set on the brand of tv I...

Thanks for you advice man. I bookmarked that page. Been busy so I haven't had a chance to look thru it, but I will shortly. Been studying up for the exam and flipping through a dictionary to try to get my vocabulary up cause this redneck ain't too keen on words bigger than 4 letters. :frowning...

I was checking out a few onkyo receivers before and they all looked really good. I'm glad to hear them recommended here! Thanks guys for all your help!! I'll be sure to let you all know how things work out!

You'd rather work a county job? Just curious, but why would you rather work county? Thank you for the link, it should help a lot!

John, That sounds great. I def don't need to be the biggest and baddest. I just want something that will give me great sound and last for a decent amount of time. If I could get good sound for $500 beans and be able to go to at least 5.1, I'd be happy, very happy. I'd settle for a set of...

1 - My budget is currently undetermined. I have nothing saved to work off of ATM, but I am willing to spend a fair amount on this. I am willing to spend more now to avoid this scenerio: I buy a $750 receiver now and a ways down the "road" end up upgrading to a $1500 receiver, when I could have...

I have no college degree, nor do I have any college period under my belt. I was thinking about going to Brookdale (a community college) for electronics and than training for BioMed in the hospital. The hospital will pay for it, but I have to sign a 2 year contract with them afterwards or pay...

Okay, so, I finally decided to take my Civil Service Exam. I bought a book and I am fairly confident I will do well enough. My main question is, I need help figuring out where I should apply. I am going to apply for the Post Office, no questions asked, just cause it's a great way to get...

I'm trying to figure out a nice set up for my HT and I figured, I'm gonna buy some cheap speakers for the time being and up grade as the project rolls forward. In the end I want 7.1, so I need advice on a good 7.1 capable receiver to start with. I also need to know if I have to buy the amp...
