Get the add on HD player then.

For the most simple setup I recommend getting a set of stereo cables (red + white cables) and running them from your audio out output on the back of the television to the audio in on the back of your samsung receiver. Find the proper input on your samsung system where you hear the surround sound...

This is disturbing news for a big Onkyo fan such as myself. We are a factory direct store that stocks Onkyo and so far we've never had a single one returned. Hopefully Onkyo isn't another Kenwood story? Their THX Certified equipment is from what I hear the best you can buy. If you're not for the...

Onkyo TX-SR905. Ladies and gentleman, I present the solution to all of your problems.

Invest in either an LG SuperBlu, or in my honest opinion (having done a research paper on DVD technology) BluRay is the way to go, broken down the technologies are similar, use the same wavelength diode to read the disc, and are close enough to the same price. The biggest difference between the...

Don't under invest in a screen, it's more important than the projector. Certain screens make colors better and others (mostly cheap ones) will wash out the picture. Most people make the mistake of thinking that a cheap screen with a good projector will be the best way to do it for the wallet...

It's like the difference between USB 1.0 and USB 2.0, faster data transfer etc. Just buy the 1.3a wires.

It depends...do you have HDMI on the back of your 360? The newer premiums have them on there and so do the elites.

1.) As long as you buy a reputable brand, such as Sony, LG, Toshiba, Panasonic, Onkyo, etc. These make your DVD's look phenomenal, although from what I've seen most only up-scale through HDMI, so your tv must have at least one HDMI input. 2.) 1080p will look more detailed WITH A 1080P SIGNAL...

Like Allen said your tv's going to scale the image to fit it's resolution no matter what, and there is no physical way to reduce the resolution of your picture. On standard TV broadcasts, you should be receiving 480i but if you step up to HD all your signals will be broadcast in 1080i or 720p...

Are the surrounds an issue due to the wires you have to run? If so many HTIB systems around 300-400 offer wireless surround speakers that plug into a transmitter. At 350$ for a budget, a decent stereo system (stereo being the two speakers and that's it) you'll be hard pressed to find anything...

In store feeds (having worked at Sears Electronics for a year and a half) are shitty at best. They run compressed HD feed from a stream generator somewhere in the store through coaxial cable and split the connection about a hundred times. That's why that feed looks so bad, and some places tend...

Try it just direct feed to the TV and if it continues to do that try using the other HDMI cable for the Blu Ray Disc instead and then if the problem persists, try using the cable box on the first input and if it still does it, then its the TV, and in which case take it back if it's fairly new...

Couldn't agree more with you on the speakers, talk to anyone who's been into home theater and has had a great set of speakers they can be as old as 30 years, so when you buy them, buy them good, and treat them well. The anti-glare's on the panasonics aren't like that filter bright crap LG's and...

Do you know if your receiver "conditions" the video/audio signals going through it? By that I mean reprocessing the video feed so it looks better and in some cases increase the resolution (up-convert)?

HDTV's scale images to their resolution. If the feed is 640x480, and the tv is 1024x768 or something like that, the tv will replicate the image by adding more pixels to it in order for it to fit the tv's own resolution. If you're familiar with digital zoom on a digital camera, how it just adds...

I think he's got it guys. /Thread

Most up converting DVD players to my knowledge only up convert through an HDMI cable (High Definition Multimedia Interface). The Regza should have 2 or 3 I can't remember I'm pretty sure 3. The up convert will do a great job on the picture, i recommend the Sony or Onkyo up converting DVD...

Keep the optical from the BluRay where it's at and run HDMI from the BluRay to the TV. The signal is digital, so the picture is better, it also carries digital sound, but running the fiber optic to the receiver will get the job done. Same applies for any other AV devide with HDMI digital...

You don't need any specific brand of wire, as long as it's not paper thin, and is shielded properly. For the speakers use 16 gauge wiring, for any cables just use any standard RCA cables. You don't need "Monster Grade THX certified" cables for 150 bucks for 6 feet. Nothing special, gold...

Yeah I just looked at the back of the TV and there's pretty much nothing for HD hookup, you've got what looks like a single component input and a DVI, but other than that the tv doesn't look like it has much to offer.

The guy above me said it all for the surround, as for the TV, the Panasonic 50-PX77U is a great TV, consumer reports and Cnet.com both like it alot, and I like the picture as well. A little bit lower contrast ratio than what I prefer in plasmas this year (10000:1 as opposed to 15000:1) but I...

Happy Hanukkah Anyways, if you're that desperate to get it hooked up tonight, I recommend cutting out the receiver altogether and just plugging it into the TV. Then just turn up the TV's speakers, it's just a Wii so it's not imperative that you use the surround. Otherwise I'll look at it...

That might be a tad bit overkill for this guys setup, but good call on the 880, that remote is the best you can buy.

Learn something everyday. Okay since he corrected me above, this is what you'll probably want to do. 1) HDMI from DirectTV HD Box to TV, and fiber optical out to fiber optic in on the LG 764 2) HDMI from LG 764 to the TV 3) Component cables from Wii to TV, as well as the red and white...

The HDMI into the TV carries DIGITAL video and DIGITAL audio, your first mistake was believing anything anyone at Best Buy has to say about home theater. From the TV you can run the fiber optic DIGITAL audio cable to the receiver and that way you'll have your digital surround sound. Same story...

Run components from the Wii and the HDMI from the directv box to the tv, and then run the fiber optic from the TV's optical out to the receivers optical in. Very simple setup, and will give you digital surround from the tv. Don't forget to try the wireless rear theater adapter LG offers for the...

I just think the investment of an HD DVD player in a 26" LCD is a bit unnecessary, but I guess they are getting rather cheap so why not, it's the whole re-buying all your movies in HD for the purpose of 1080P on a 720P set. And the digital in I mean on the receiver, feed HDMI to the tv and then...

On one hand I understand your frustration, as it was misleading, but consider both sides of the argument. If they made that policy widely known, any asshole (pardon my french, and this is not in any reference to you) could take the price tag off an expensive item and put it on an identical but...

Excellent television, couldn't have picked it out better myself. Great choice on the receiver as well, Sony's Elevated Standards (that's what the ES stands for) line of audio equipment is some of the best you can get for the money, and eliminates having multiple remotes. The Blu-Ray Player will...
