Home Theater

I recently received a pair of Mitsubishi speakers, model ss-150 along with a pair of "Jamo Cornet 70 IV".
I am wondering what kind of amplifier should i buy to get the best out of these speakers (of course, good quality with less money would be nice!).
I would love to receive some options or maybe a brief guide to select the right one. Thanks!

Hey, I have an Audio Reciver (Sony STR-DE695) hooked up to a Scientific Atlantic HD box (Explorer 4250HDC) it is hooked up though the optical cable. on the basic channels (ex. nbc) the audio sounds good, and easy to hear. The audio comes out from the center speaker and the stereo speakers. Th problem comes when i turn the HD channels (nbc-HD) the TV shows audio only comes out though the stereo (right and left) speakers and it makes it harder to hear. When a commercial plays on that channel the audio is very loud. I was wondering if there is a way to make the audio come out of the center speakers with the reciver i have?

I am looking to buy the Philips HTS3555 home theater system and i read that it had a HDMI output but no HDMI input. this particular system has a HDDVD player that acts as a reciever. I have a few questions and would appreciate any help!
1. what is a HDMI input for and is it important to have?
2. Basically i want to be able to watch movies in HD with surround sound, will i be able to do that without an HDMI input?

I am buying my next piece to a home theater soon. I have read reviews on AMazon for both and they are both favorable. Any of you with first hand experience with sales, service, or ownership of any of these.

I will also purchase a Sony PS3 for Blu-Ray hence the look to Sony receivers. I have a large room to put all of this in. probably 25x18 ft. So I already have a JBL powered sub-woofer. The Onkyo 605 looks and sounds great in the store but a small room. It has only 90 watts per channel. The 705 has 100 and the Sony 120. Any feedback??

Should I even be worrying about these watts per channel numbers with my sized room?

Ok, I know the whole DVD= 4.5 mb and the others have like 25MB..
Better sound, better quality...

But, if you got a nice sized regular TV, a nice Surround sound, and a nice regular DVD player...
Is it really like that much of a mind blowing change??

Because DVD's are still good quality....are they not?

I've seen the HD and Blue ray, and yes it is clearer,
but that i'm only guessing, IS because of the Plasma HD LCD TV to begin with. Am i correct?

I hope someone can shed some light with this...

The DVD sales are 94%,Blu-ray has 62% sales & HD-DVD has 41% sales.


I think DVD will win the format war.

I currently have a Bose Lifestyle 25 I'd like to replace. The CD player broke and the "sub" is pretty weak. I'd like a system with 5 speakers, a decently powerful sub, and a CD player.

I already have a DVD player so don't necessarily need that.

My Bose cubes are all mounted either to the wall or ceiling. I'd like something with speakers about that size so I can use those mounts.

My wife and I aren't really picky or really techy. We just want something that sounds decent while watching a movie or playing Wii and that we can use to play music when we have folks over. We'd also like something that would use the existing ceiling and wall mounts.

My laptop has HDMI outputs, but no other video-out options. My TV has the red/white/yellow inputs, and i need to connect the 2. My older (pre-Vista) laptops made this a breeze. Anyone have suggestions?

Hello, I have a high end Denon receiver. It's really dusty on the inside. Should I open it and dust it? Will that help protect my unit? Or should I just leave it as is? I've seen those bottles of air that are used for removing dust. Anyone reccomend those? Thanks, NF

I'd like something that can hold various components like cable box and DVD player. I want it to have the 50" TV mounted or anchored in such a way so it can't be knocked off or tipped over by my rambunctious son.

Ideally, I think it would be an entertainment center that has a stand coming up from the back that the TV would mount to.

Can you point me to where I could find such an item?

My setup is Yamaha products, RX-V559 Receiver,225 PMD Series (NS-225F,NS-M225,NS-C225), YST-SW515 Sub. I've a very problematic Sub. At 1st I found it clip easily at low frequency (sub volume:half, Receiver volume:-20db, sub level:+3), after much problem solving with Yamaha. Their ans to my problem is 2 'tune' my sub with my system, which is turning down the vol of my sub and Sub level of the receiver, Master vol only at -19 e most. It went well after a while without clipping thn lately I found that it clip again n even more with soundtracks that don't clip even at all with the settings I had before the Yamaha guys came to 'tune' them. I'm thinking of changing my Sub, but my concern is Yamaha told me before my speakers is small so I should actually use a smaller sub 2 go with them, they told me that's what cause the sub to clip @ first. Is that really the case? That means I can't, for example connect a 1000W sub to my sys? Which Sub should I go for if my budget is about $800+-?thanks!

I purchased a modem and every time I move, I take it with me and register it with the new cable provider. But every time I get digital cable I have to rent the box from the cable provider. I have lived n three cities in the past 3 years and used three different cable companies. The boxes they rent to me are exactly the same. So are the remotes. My family membes also have the very same cable box. My modem payed for itself within 6 months. I imagine that if I owned my own digital cable box then in the long run it would pay for itself too. Why can i purchase a modem, but not a digital cable box?

We have a flat panel Vizio tv. We just bought the mount for the wall, but it will still stick out several inches. We want to buy vertical speakers we can mount next to it on the wall to sort of mask the awkwardness of it sticking out and plus, just to get better sound. Any suggestions? Thanks!

I recently purchased a HD DVD player which is a Toshiba HD-A2 DVD Player. The price of the HD DVD player is a significant amount more than an DVD Upconverter. I was told that the HD DVD player can upconvert regular DVDs to HD quality. What am I missing out on? It sounds like the two units do the same but have dramatic price differences.

What is best to go with? Would I get the same quality and spend much less by just purchasing an upconverter rather than an HD DVD player?

most D-VHS VCRS (yeah, you know the kind--VHS that can record a near-full-quality HD [normally digital] video as well digital SD video) I've heard of do NOT have HDMI outputs (or inputs) but DO have FireWire/i.LINK outputs (and inputs)? What's the point of making a consumer or prosumer HD VCR without a way to connect it to the TV digitally (though you can go through the analog HD connections--the RCA component connectors)?


Hey, will you come back periodically and look at my responses to your answers (as added detail), please?


Thanks, and happy Christmas,

I'm looking at getting a home surround system that is QUALITY not cheap and cheerful. I already have a dvd/HD player that I want it to connect to and have been looking at the new Bose Lifestyle V20 kit that sounds superb and is very small and neat (I don't want huge amps etc), but at £1750 not sure it is worth this kind of money. I'm not looking to go cheap, but does anyone know of a kit that is comparable in quality and size at all? Your help is appreciated :)
