    Advice for new AV set-up in basement

    My reason is twofold. After reading close to 60 posts and reviews of the VP 150 (both amateur and pro) it seems to have some weaknesses. Off axis clarity and such. I do not propose this is definitely the case nor am i stating it would not work just fine. My current experience with Definitive...

    Advice for new AV set-up in basement

    After a ton of reading and some listening to equipment, i've decided a few things. I believe I'm going to purchase 2 M80's from Axiom along with 4 QS8's for 7.1 surround. I will get a definitive CLR2500 or 3000 (not sure yet) for a centre. The sub(s) will be handled by SVS. Question: Will 1 PC...

    Advice for new AV set-up in basement

    Thanks for the reply. Room will be approx. 23X20 with a dropped tile ceiling at 7feet high. I currently have a Marantz 8001 receiver with EnergyC-8 towers and a definitive centre running in my upstairs LR (with small bi-polar energy rears). I am very pleased with the definitive product but not...

    Advice for new AV set-up in basement

    I am currently finishing my basement for rec room use. My TV is a Panny 58PZ750. I am looking for thoughts on Receiver and speaker purchase. This will be used for HT (obviously) as well as music (most likely in the form of MP3 audio). My budget-$2000.00 for AV receiver, 3-4K for speakers/subs...

    1.3a vs. 1.3b?

    I'm purchasing a hdmi splitter and was wondering what the difference was. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I am splitting my direct receiver H20.

    Are there any 50" or larger LCDs comparable in quality to the Kuro?

    I have the Panny PZ750 50" and am very happy. The only panel better IMO is the Kuro. I believe the new OLED technology will be affordable in about 5 years. That will be my next panel. 1 Mil-1 contrast ratio! Can't wait.

    DeepDiscount couldn't care less

    While i have no knowledge or experience with DD, this situation speaks to a bigger problem-the degredation of customer service in North America. While i agree with other posters that a credit for a non-delivered dvd is not in order, perhaps credits issued due to a lack of notice are. If a credit...

    Which Player should i purchase?

    Hi all. I'm almost ready to set up my HT. I've decided to purchase a blue-ray player before i do to get everything done at once. I have a Marantz SR 8001 Receiver and a Panny TH50PZ750U TV. I have more than enough HDMI cables as well as inputs and outputs on my equipment. Could people with...

    Questions from an idiot

    In the Bdrm i have a vcr and dvd player. This with the 2 other sat feeds makes it complicated. I do not want to buy or use a ht receiver in the bdrm. I may have to utilize a component switch box that i viewed on monoprice (anyone try one?) Does a 25-30' cable run degrade the signal noticeably...

    Questions from an idiot

    I have a hd direct tv sat receiver and a FTA non hd receiver in my LR. I plan on running a feed from each to my BDRM. I cannot run an hdmi cable b/c there is only 1 out from sat rec. So i run component cables, right? Also for audio, do i use a digital optical or a toslink. The run is about 25-30...

    Non Hd hookup to HD tv

    Wow, some of this info is a little beyond by knowledge base. A follow up question: If your tv is converting a inferior image or feed, does the fill in just blur or bleed the image (like a digital pic?) If this is not the case, then how does a tv produce a image that is 1080 x1920 when in fact...

    Non Hd hookup to HD tv

    Thank you to all who responded. It was my intention to run the sat feed thru dvd player but now understand that will not work. As per one responders answer that the tv will display 1080p (or i for that matter) from a 480 feed, how does that work. From everything i've seen, HD tv's only look good...

    Non Hd hookup to HD tv

    I'm trying to help my father in law. He's not ready for the HD sat feed yet. He has a FTA(not hd) feeding a 1080p toshiba regza. Will wiring thru an upconverting dvd player make any difference in pic quality? Should he just run a good component wiring set up to tv? Any feedback is appreciated
