Home Theater

New Home "prewired". Unable to get sound with TV!!
*Cables Terminate on opposite wall of TV (about 20' apart).
*I have successfully connected my TV with component cables (prewired) to my Dish Network Receiver.
*Unable to get any sound to coordinate with my TV.
*Trying to integrate audio receiver/DVD/CD home theater setup. I am able to produce sound from speakers, but only when using the radio/CD player (can never get the TV to work with the speakers).

I have tried plugging an HDMI cable into the audio receiver and the dish receiver, but that obviously did not work... Will I have to fish more cable? suggestions? Please help!!

I have a Sony Wega CRT HD Display that accepts 480p and 480i as well as 1080i through component input. Should I buy DVD player that upconverts or should I buy a dvd player that is progressive scan. I just want to know if I should invest in an upconvert dvd player or if a progressive scan dvd player will do. Thanks for the help!

I work @ RadioShack and we sell S-Video and RCA cables that are "gold plated." What's the deal with the gold-plated stuff? Is it superior? Or just a sorry excuse to charge higher amounts of money?

I'm running windows vista, and I can get an IR receiver, and have a new Sharp HDTV with a remote that allows for controlling DVD players and other devices (like a universal remote).

I'm planning on having a home theater installed in my home.
Room is roughly 15x15 in a house that is over 100yrs old.
Can someone provide me with some insight as to how pricing is generally structured?
.....What are average labor/install costs?
.....Will my equipment be more expensive if I buy it from the installing company?
I didn't really have a budget in mind, I'm simply looking for information on how the pricing is normally broken down in this business.
Many Thanks

I am after an all in one home cinema kit for my lounge, I have a 40" Sony Bravia HD TV (only 1 HDMI input!) and a PS3 which must run through the surround sound as well (room is 12'4" x 13' 1").
My budget is £300 and I am looking at the Panasonic SCPT850. Any suggestions? Cheers.

The other day i went into an AV shop to purchase the Onkyo 605. When i asked about it, the kind gentlemen showed me a Denon 2807 that was on offer for the same price.

Does anybody have any information about the Denon. Is it a better buy than the Onkyo?

Thanks in advance

Setting up a Yamaha HTiB. The subwoofer has a speaker-type grill on the front, and a small circular opening on one side. Does it make a difference if this opening is angled against a wall, or should I place the subwoofer on the other side of the room so the opening is facing the middle of the room. I assume that the sound just bounces off the wall, but am not sure....

OK, here is the story. I had a Sony Dream Theater "Home Theater in a Box." I started getting a high pitch squeal from that system. I determined that it was coming from the receiver/dvd player. I bought a Harmon Kardon AVR247 7.1 surround sound receiver to replace it. I figured that I would be OK with the old speakers. They are 4 ohm. I am assuming that most home theater speakers would be 8 ohm. Everything seemed to work OK to begin with, but then I noticed that that the dialogue was very difficult to hear especially when watching HD channels that were encoded in true Dolby Digital. I found that when I turned off the center channel and the audio normally piped though the center channel was sent to the Front L/R it sounded much better. That's the history. The question is... Should I expect issues when using the speakers from the "Home Theater in a Box" speakers with my new receiver? Are the old speakers designed for use only with the Sony box?
