    Samsung HL61A750 Review

    I originally was thinking of a plasma or lcd for size reasons. I quickly dismissed the lcd's as I was very un-pleased with the picture on them. Side by side, the lcd's seemed to lack in both color and clarity compared to the plasma's. I also started noticing a sort of matte look to the lcd's the...

    Samsung HL61A750 Review

    I have noticed none at all. The 61" model seems to be free of that problem, but the larger models are plagued with it. Thats one of the reasons I didn't go with Samsung's larger 7 series dlp, or any larger dlp for that matter. The 73" Mitsu at best buy had a sagging screen when I was buying my...

    Samsung HL61A750 Review

    No fan noise at all. With the TV on and all other noise gone, I still can't hear the TV running at all. And an update on the remote problem. A call to Samsung remedied this. All I needed to do was reset the remote, which was as hard as holdling down the power button on the remote for 30...

    HD-A30 frozen

    I've already pulled it out of the rack and have had it setting aside unplugged for a couple hours now. I'll try the holding the power button longer route and see if that helps. I plan to call toshiba tomorrow if I can't get it fixed, but they are closed on weekends!

    HD-A30 frozen

    I hit download and got busy doing other things. Came back like an hour later and it was still sitting at 4 of 4 and had completely frozen. I turned it off then back on and it won't go past the welcome screen. Same with unplugging it/replugging it back in. This happened to me once before and I...

    HD-A30 frozen

    Well, I finally got all my cables and connectors shipped here yesterday so i finally set up everything. Plugged in the HD-A30 and found that there was a new firmware update since the last time I had it plugged into the internet. I went to download it and it froze on step 4 of 4. Now it will turn...

    Looking to go all HDMI

    If you do decide on a new receiver, my recommendation is the Yamaha RX-V863. 3 HDMI inputs, 1 HDMI output. Plus it will upconvert all of your non-HDMI inputs and output them through the HDMI cable to the tv (the only cable you will run from the receiver to the tv will be the HDMI cable). It...

    Difference between A speakers and B Speakers

    I'd have to agree here. I can use my B hookups for bi-amping, for a zone 2, or for ambiance speakers all depending on how I setup the receiver. My last receiver just output the exact same signal and power to both A and B. All depends on what receiver you have and how it's set up.

    surround sound speaker placement?

    Thanks for your opinion. I really don't have the choice to mount them on the back wall so I'm stuck with stands. Once I finish the stands I'll probably have to just try them in both locations to see whats better. I just wanted to know what most people do, see if theres an option I'm missing or...

    Samsung HL61A750 Review

    Sorry about confusing the technology names, I guess I was always under the impression they were dlp. Regardless, I still prefer the color depth and light from the Samsung LED DLP over my old JVC HD-ILA. And I bought that set because I preferred it over every other DLP set I compared it to. I...

    speaker wire question

    So I'm getting ready to setup my new setup (just moved) and I didn't buy any speaker wire because i knew I had a ton of high quality 16awg left over from my last install at the old house that worked really well. Went to start hooking up the speakers and it turns out I only had about 10 feet left...

    Suggestions for big floorstanding speakers?

    Best Buy and Circuit City carry similar speakers from Sony, MTX, and Pyle. A quick search of their websites will show you the specific models. The JBL, Klipsch, etc. aren't going to carry exact looking 3 way floorstanders at most retail stores but they will have some comparably priced units.

    Question on subwoofer types

    Its just standard carpet (1/4" or so high), so I'm hoping there won't be a difference. I have some mdf laying around so I may try both ways just to make sure. My only concern is is vibrating off the mdf or the mdf moving itself. Hopefully it sounds just as good on the carpet. Thanks for all...

    Question on subwoofer types

    Ok, here's my question that I was hoping someone would have answered: Will it make a difference on a down firing sub if it's on a carpeted surface? I'm looking for something in my living room and it is carpeted. I have no intention of ripping up the carpet. Maybe just use a board to set the sub...

    Question on subwoofer types

    I just want some clarification on what type of subwoofer to get. It will be going in the corner of a carpeted room. Will the carpet make a difference in a down firing sub vs a front firing sub? And how about port locations? Front/rear/bottom/combination? I've seen front firing subs with front...

    Help picking a display device

    While I'd love to have something that big, I'm ruling it out for a few reasons. First I've decided to go with a 120hz capable tv. Secondly I've heard a few people having problems with the screen material sagging and coming undone in a screen of this size. I've pretty much decided on the Samsung...
