As far as dishnetwork goes, just plug in the HDMI. The receiver will change settings when the TV signals changes codec. You will see the receiver change all the time. Some commercials are 5.1 and some stereo some shows are 5.1 and others not. If you are watching a movie and it is in 5.1 you...

Have you tried out the setting I described earlier? Sorry, I have not confirmed them but I belive they are the correct settings. Posted again below. If I'm correct, under the audio output formats you will need to select all of the linear PCM options. Some might be transparent and you'll not...

Thanks for the advice. You have a pretty sweet theater room.

Nice theater Shepard. What is the projector your using? Sorry, i see it now. Sweet theater.

Sorry, for the confusion. I see where it’s coming from. I’m kind of babbling because I don’t know what I’m talking about. The numbers from Projector Central's Calculator states the best seating distance are 15' to 11' base on a diagonal screen size of 120". The screen calculator at this...

Any suggestions on the screen? I will want to spend less than $700. There are so many options for screens and they all think they are the best. The seating distance calculator is stating I need a 120" screen based on the location of my seats. Gregg Lowewn, who know his stuff, says 120" is to...

I’ve lost document Onkyo sent me. I'll look at my PS3 and report back. If I'm correct, under the audio output formats you will need to select all of the linear PCM options. Some might be transparent and you'll not be able to select them (this is normal). Do not select Dolby, DTS or ACC, if it...

No problem Parker, Looking forward to reading the review.

I've personally owned 4 Aura bass shakers while in college. They were attached to Rooms to Go couch. It was a little over kill but I was young and trying to impress. It was pretty cool for playing video games with friends. The best part was not warning visitors about the transducers. My...

The two speakers can be used if you select a 7.1 setting. The receiver will convert 5.1 surround codec to work with the 7.1 setup. I would just buy a 7.1 receiver. Even if you found a 5.1 receiver that does HD, there would not be any great saving. The 7.1 receiver will also have you better...

The receiver will select the setting for you. It will detect the signal being sent and use that format for the sound output. The HD Audio icon will light up when it detects a HD signal only. I'm assuming it's a Blue Ray movie and you are sending it via HDMI from the PS3? If that is the case...

It looks like someone answered your question on the B-ray site. Follow aramis109's advice.

Wow, you watch your projector 10 hours a day?

Thanks for all the help If you don't mind what screen would you recommend. I was looking to spend less than $700. Also, do you think I should shrink the size of the screen? You stated it was large. I know it’s larger than it should be for an ideal image for these projector units but I...

Thanks Greg, Do you ever come to the Atlanta Area and what would it cost to calibrate one of these units for me?

I have done quite a bit of research but I'm sure there is something I've missed. Attached are photos of the room and a layout and dimensions of the area. I'm looking at an Epson 1080 UB or a 6500 UB. I will go with the 1080 UB if the prices drop a bunch because of the release of the 6500...

If you want a cheap projector I would look at this one. Optoma HD65 720p High Definition DLP Home Theater Projector It would cost around $890 and would free up $1700 for different speakers than the ones I recomended earlier.

Spend the money on a good projector up front. It would be more expensive to upgrade the projector in the future if they were not happy with the first projector selected. Epson Cinema UB $2295 1080p with great reviews for price point. EPPLHC1080 | B&H Photo Video Or Ben Q w5000 $2499 108op...

Have you played the speakers yet? I was curious how the monoprice speakers sounded? Looks good, I hope it does not take a year to finnish the rest.

Thanks Robert The calibration for the receiver has been done. Also my sub has the R.A.B.O.S. Kit. With it I have eliminate the frequencies coming for it that cause rattles but that does not help control the tower's subs. Are there any links that explain or describe the procedure you are talking...

I would go with the 705. It is last years model and you can get it for $400 if you look around. The addtional options are not worth the price. Here is what I built for 1200 dollars onkyo 705 Boston Acoutics vr975 fronts Boston Acoutics vr902 center Infinity CSW10 sub Infinity IL10 rears...

Hello everyone. This is my first theater and would like your thoughts on how it turned out and what else you would like to see added. I'm relatively cheap, but let your imagination run wild and if I like the idea I might get off my wallet (with my wife’s permission of course). Currently the...

Epson Cinema UB is a nice one for $2500. If it needs to be cheaper and 1080p look at craigslist and pray.
