I have an Elite Screens ZR800D univeral remote and got it to work with my receiver, BD player and projector by using the learning mode. I cannot get the remote to work with my Dish Network box. I tried using the Echostar codes and the learning mode. While programming in the learning mode...

Synopsis The author starts with a 42” LCD TV and no surround-sound system. He is contemplating the purchase of a 60” plasma TV, as well as a surround-sound system and all of the concomitant accessories. The author discusses his train of thought and decision making process, his successes...

I would agree that power cords do not contribute to the sound quality of the system, if they are of proper design, well made, and of adequate gauge. For most of my life, I believed that if you had a power connection and the equipment was running, then it was getting full power. Then I got...

I finally have everything together for my Living Room HT, except for the screen. I have been using the wall as my screen, and while it is actually amazingly good, I think that a real screen would be better. Also, I have to use a screen to get the 100" image that I want because the wall will...

So, I started with Disney's WOW on my 42" LCD. In the back of my mind, I remembered reading in some thread a few weeks ago about calibrating an LCD: when calibrationg the brightness, you actually vary the backlight and when calibrating for contrast you actually use brightness or something...

Well, I started thinking about a home theater around three months ago. It was the first time that I seriously considered a projector. I didn't know anything about projectors. I thought that they might have built-in tuners! Anyway, I thought that it might be a good way to get a really big...

Has anyone bought anything from Audiophile Liquidators? If so, would you recommend them for a receiver purchase? I worry about buying from a non-authorized dealer but I sure would like to save some money. Supposedly, they sell only A stock, no demos, no open box, but they claim that they...

I guess the HTF banner ad is probably regional but here in Las Vegas at least, the ad is for Las Vegas Design Center. The female pictured in this ad is so incredibly attractive that it drives me nuts. I have to look at her at least a couple of times a day when I get on HTF. She is right there...

Hey Guys, I have no clue about blu-ray players at all. I will be using this with an Epson 8350 at around 80" to 100". The only thing that I know is that with PS Slim, I get gaming & blu-ray for one reasonable price. I am not a big gamer but I do own a Wii that gets some use, so I may...

I will be making my first projector purchase in a couple of weeks... Epson 8350. Should I buy it online or at a B&M (Ultimate Electronics)? Sales tax would be around $110 but I worry about damage in transit with one of these delivery companies. What do you think? Are there any other...

The Consumer Electronics Show is only a week away but when do the new models actually show up in retail stores?

Hey Guys, I am an old-school audiophile with a lack of knowledge on surround modes and all of the gee-whiz features of the new receivers. I am setting up my first home theater with a best-bang-for-the-buck philosophy. I want a step up from HTIB but I don't want to jump in too deep yet...

It seems like a good idea to get a receiver that is 3D ready. It appears to me the the Yamaha RXV series is NOT 3D ready, but their RXA series is. Is that correct? I was really liking the 1900 until this notion struck me. So, do I need to strike the 1900 off of my short list? Nick

So, I want to set up my first home theater. I am considering a large LED TV (58" to 65") but I would prefer to have a 100" projection system, specifically, the Epson 8350. My room is relatively small (12x16) with all white walls and ceiling. The ceiling slopes from 8' height on one side to...
