    $600 Challenge

    I've had my ps3 a little over a year. Maybe close to a year and a half. I couldn't care less about online gaming, so that isn't a problem for me at all.

    $600 Challenge

    I have a ps3 and an Oppo BDP-83. There have been BD movies the Oppo wouldn't play, until a firmware update was done (Star Wars, LOTR Trilogy E.E.). The ps3 played them perfectly, without a FW update. In fact, my ps3 has never had a FW update, and it's played everything I've put in it. I can't...

    Speaker wire

    I got a 100 ft. spool of 14 ga from Lowe's for around $25. Been using it for about 7-8 yrs., and it works great. No problems at all.

    I entered.......

    Thanks anyway, and thanks to those that did vote. It's strange, but I never saw anything about having to be a Facebook member to vote. They told me to get all my friends and family to help me get to the 250 votes, to send me to the next level. You woulda thought that they would have mentioned...

    How do 3D TV's Compare to the 3D at the movie theater?

    That's probably it, but since I don't know the model numbers of the one I saw, I can't swear to it. This one is $100 cheaper.

    How do 3D TV's Compare to the 3D at the movie theater?

    I've seen about all the brands and models of 3D tvs. Most are ok. But, I was in Best Buy a few weeks ago, and saw the best 3D I've seen yet, on a home setup. I told the salesman that it was the closest thing I'd seen to the 3D of Avatar at the iMax, and that was outstanding! This setup was a 47"...

    Blu Ray Player With 2 HDMI outputs

    The Oppo BDP-93 has two HDMI outputs. Plus it's 3-D capable, does network streaming, and plays SACD & DVD-Audio discs. All this for the same price as my BDP-83............

    What program for general TV?

    I use Pro Logic IIx, but I'm using a 7.1 system. When I was still using 5.1, I used Pro Logic II for general tv programming.

    receiver

    I'll second Onkyo. As was said, best bang for the buck. Most have plenty of digital inputs, plenty of features, easy to set up and use, and has Audyssey auto speaker calibration and room correction (so does Denon). I use an Onkyo TX-SR805 and love it. In the past, I've used JVC and Yamaha. While...

    HDMI Scam

    Some people are very susceptible to suggestion. They are told they will hear a big difference with expensive cables, so they do. They will swear they do, and almost be ready to fight you, if you tell them they aren't really hearing a difference. Especially if they bought expensive cables...

    Video quality vs. Enjoyment: What does science say?

    Quality doesn't seem to mean much to most of the population (video or audio). If it did, why is mp3 format doing so well, and sacd and dvd-audio has all but died? People that are buying HT systems are buying $200-$300 systems, instead of quality systems. There's always gonna be some of us that...

    Denon 4810 does not recognise composite cable input

    You are connecting a blu ray player via component cables? May I ask why you're not using HDMI? Is the tv just 1080i with no HDMI inputs? The 4810 is capable of decoding the HD audio over HDMI. From the pic of the assign screen, I'd say to use the right arrow key, and move the highlight over...

    HDMI Scam

    Some of us have known this for years. But, there are people out there that will swear they can see and hear a difference between a $100 cable and a $10 cable. I think they're just trying to justify to themselves, spending that much on cables. Makes them feel better about themselves, I guess.

    Dealer markups

    That's another good reason for going with an internet direct company, like SVS. They give you plenty of time to try them out. If you don't like them, send them back. Haven't heard of anyone sending them back though. All you'd lose is shipping, which is still probably cheaper than dealer's price...

    Comment on my choices

    Denon makes good equipment. But, it's not the easiest to deal with unless you're very familiar with setting up surround equipment. Denon remotes can be a nightmare also. If you end up going with Denon, be sure to get a Harmony remote. I'd also suggest Onkyo over the Denons. Onkyo is usually more...

    Your Favorite LFE Movie or Music Program

    Watched the BD of Independence Day yesterday. There's a couple of scenes in there that caused my SVS sub to vibrate the house............. :)

    Hooking up multiple devices

    Yes......... Since the DVR (sat/cable) is 720p or 1080i anyway, I'd just use the component cables for that, for video. The BD movies being 1080p, needs the HDMI. This way, you won't have to go to the extra expense or trouble of the HDMI switcher. If you end up with more HDMI rear to hookup...

    TOSLink

    The optical out on tvs is for using with internal tuner, for local HD channels, while using an antenna. If this is what you're trying to do, it's probably a setting in the tv's setup menus. If you're trying to use this with cable or sat, you'll need to run the optical cable from the cable or sat...

    Consumer Electronic Installers and Integrators

    I totally agree. Too many tests have been run with $10 cables vs $200 cables, and no one could tell enough difference to pick the $200 cables. Digital cables are feeding a bunch of ones and zeros, so the signal is either there or it isn't. If it's there, the cable is working as good as is...

    New Blu Ray - Older Audio System

    By 6 RCA inputs, do you mean 5.1 multi-channel analog inputs (not pre-outs)? If you, have older equipment with the 5.1/7.1 multi-channel analog inputs, you can enjoy the "Dolby TrueHD" and "dtsHD Master Audio" soundtracks found on blu ray movies. You'll need a blu ray player with 5.1/7.1...

    Now let's get truthful about AVATAR.

    I will probably watch the blu ray, but after seeing it at the Imax in 3D, I imagine the home version will be under-whelming. Quite a few people swears the story is the exact same story as Dances With Wolves. When they explain themselves, it does sound like it.

    I Finally Pulled The Trigger For An HD TV

    Not a fair comparison. Over your lifetime will definitely come out a lot more than paying a repair for one or two instances. It would have been extremely hard to shell out $400 at one time, for the transmission. The extended warranty was included in the monthly payments for the tiller. Also...
