Hi guys, been a while since I've been on here, the last time I was I had such great advice from individuals I did not need to frequent but tis the time to upgrade and looking for advice again. I believe the last gentlemen's name that helped me out was RobertJ if he still lurks on this site...

Just curious what you guys recommend for a projector, I'm new to the projector scene but will be in the market in a few weeks for a new tv and thought I may go this route. What size do you recommend, I want a 1080p. The wall size it 8' wide (would be larger but there's a door on that wall) and...

I seen a guy on craigslist trying to sell a pair of these DaVinci speakers stating that the MSRP was $2499 for them and to make an offer. So being the smart ass I am, I tell him I don't want to low ball him and ask him what he's willing to sell them for and he says $1600. I never did hear back...

Is it possible to play youtube music through my receiver? I see others using their PC as a DVD player, I just wonder if I can play music off it through my stereo. Also, is it possible to transfer music from my blu ray (CD) player to my IPOD? If these are ridiculous requests I apologize, I...

I called and checked out a few stores and one wanted $295 for a remnant of granite?? Menards wanted $153 for a coutertop with the granite look, I'm not looking to spend that much on the top and will probably just end up with a solid oak top with a routed edge.

What's your budget?

Trim pieces are on. Minus a little sanding yet and some touch up staining, all I need is the top. And for what it's worth, the output on this box was completely ridiculous when it was laying on it's side near a corner, now that the sub is firing down the way it should be with the legs on and...

Got the legs on, next to come are some trim pieces. I'm still not sure exactly how I want to do the top. Ideally I want granite but not willing to pay that much for it so I'm probably just going to put a solid piece of oak up top.

Rule of thumb is the front three (left, right, center) should match, the rears can be different. If you're going with 7.1 you might consider using the same for the sides and rears though.

Put a little color on it, will be getting the legs ready tonight.

Made some progress on the transformation towards the end table look, I had to wait for the amp to show up and make sure everything worked and sounded as it should. My impression on the performance...... Next I plan on staining the sides and should have the legs done by this weekend.

I have an AudioSource EQ that I was using when I had my equipment upstairs and I since have moved all downstairs and for the life of me can't remember how I had this hooked up. I had to switch inputs on my receiver from DVD to CD for the EQ to work, in movie mode it was just bypassed. Any...

Is this a Harman Kardon receiver? If so, I can help, I have the AVR 247.

Wired up.... and ready to go, just need to wait for my Behringer to show up (Jan. 5th hopefully).

Made some progress today, added the port and was able to finish up the shell. [url=https://static.hometheaterforum.com/imgrepo/thumbs/c/c9/woofer3.jpg/1000x800px-LL-woofer3.jpg]

Check your local Craigslist electronics section, see if anyone has anything good on there also. Between Craigslist, ebay, and Crutchfield I have purchased all my 5 speakers (minus sub) and have a total of $300 into them. For the rears I have brand new Boston Acoustics Micro130x's (Crutchfied...

The port is coming, I have to round the edges of the port to try and eliminate port huff. I will have more pictures up tonight.

Well I finally got around to starting my Exodus Tempest X-2 project, I'm using 3/4" MDF board and will be wrapping it in oak but first I wanted to get the shell started and finished to make sure I was happy with the sound. This is a slotted port design I found of hometheatershack.com that was...

Never mind, Robert_J beat me to the inevitable question, budget? You may want to consider piecing your system together also if you're on a budget, this is what I have been doing and once I get finished building my subwoofer, I'll have quite the system for not much into it. I have a total of...

Update, now I got the OSD to display through HDMI, not sure why it wasn't working before. And to get audio to play through regular DVD's, I had to run a separate digital coax cable from the blu ray to the receiver then switch it depending on what format I play.

It's about 2 or 3 years old, now if I could just get sound when I play regular DVD's through HDMI, I'd be set.

Well I got it to work, the back of my receiver has a "monitor out" with a single composite output and a S-cable option, or two component "monitor out". I played with it and am getting away with only using the green output from the component cables, strange why I don't need all three, I have...

I know a little bit but not as much as many on here. As to your last post, I do have a component monitor out on the back of the receiver, should I use this output and run it into component 1 in the back of the TV? Just not sure which output on the receiver to use, I get which input on the TV...

The manual says to make sure that it's hooked up through a monitor video output, I can get the receiver to say "OSD ON" but can't get it on the tv, I'm going to try and track down an S-video cable and see if that works. I tried component video but it's only a yellow single output connection.

I have a Harman Kardon AVR247 and am trying to get the OSD to work and am so far unsuccessful. I am using a yellow rca cable from the monitor out output on the receiver to the Video 2 input on the TV, and when I switch inputs on the TV and hit the OSB, nothing happens? I tried calling HK and...

I have no idea if I am or not, don't even know what bitstream is to tell you the truth. I just hooked it up, turned everything to the right inputs and blu ray movies worked. I'm fairly new to all of this yet so any advice on what to look for would be great, thanks. Sorry, I get a picture but...

I'm using two different cables but why would Blu ray work and not regular DVD's, but like I said I can play regular DVD's I just have to hook it up differently. So I know the player is reading them.

I have a Sony BX-1 blu ray player and a Harman Kardon AVR247 receiver. Everything works great with blu ray movies as I have it hooked up with HDMI cords (player to receiver, receiver to tv). l put my input on the tv to HDMI 1 and the receiver to HDMI 1. My question is when I play regular...

Thanks guys, as of now without having a full blown theater room, I move a chair to the center of the room about 8-9' from the TV (room size is 15' x 16') so I will take the mic and try and set it where my ears would be. I will have to set my mains down to the small level as I have them at large...

So I have all my speakers situated finally for the fronts and rears and need to calibrate them. I have a Harman Kardon AVR247 with the mic that you sit in the middle of the room. I misplaced the manual and was wondering the steps I need to do. My speaker setup is as follows: Yamaha NS555 for...
