    Win an Onkyo TX-NR1030 9.2 channel Dolby Atmos AV Receiver

    I would love to have the ability to use the newest sound technology to watch the newest movies. Audio is the most crucial part of a movie. Without it, you might just have pretty pictures. With a good audio processor and source, you can feel that you are in the movie with sound surrounding you on...

    Sudden ARC drop in system

    So, I've had my current setup now for about a year and a half. LG 47LM7600 paired with a Sony STR-DN1030, then everything fed into the receiver. A few times in this timespan, I've had the ARC signal from TV>Receiver drop. Nothing that a good factory reset on the receiver didn't fix. But this...

    Acoustic Research Reliability

    So, I am looking into a home theater power system and new cables for my new gear. Does anyone know how reliable HDMI and surge protectors from Acoustic Research are. They seem to have the same specs as the high end brands, but I can't find reviews. Please don't bring in price, as that isn't an...

    Receiver Specs Question

    So, I'm in the process of replacing my aging equipment. The new stuff is gear I can actually afford and get my hands on. The receiver, Sony's STR-DN1030, seems like the clear shot. But there is something the specs that confuses me as to whether this receiver pushes too much power to safely run...

    Motion Interpolation Breakdown

    I ask because I have read that there are two kinds. Ones that just double each frame and ones that actually clean the blurring up as the scene goes.

    TV Refresh Rate Problems....

    I was recently at an undisclosed electronics store in my neck of the woods. I was looking at the TVs, because I'm looking for one. I like the idea of the 120/240hz TVs, but I was a little disheartened by the look. I was watching ESPN (on all TVs), and I saw more blur on those than on my 60hz set...

    HT Power Issue

    John, your suggestion will be taken. But something still doesn't seem right. I also have a computer monitor plugged into the same surge protector that the TV is plugged into. It doesn't suffer the flicker issue that the TV does. Any ideas?

    HT Power Issue

    OK, so my HT isn't the greatest, but I need a little help. I have a small refrigerator in the same room as my HT. When the fridge's cycle ends, I get a small flicker on my screen. I have the TV (and the rest of the HT) plugged into a surge protector. Is there anything I could route the HT...
