Home Theater

1) Anyone got one?
2) Do you like it?
3) Is it noisy?
4) Do you leave it on constantly or turn it off?
5) If you do turn it off, is the startup time long?
6) Also if you do turn it off, does it irritate you having to turn it on to watch TV?
7) Was it worth getting/building one?

I bought a HDTV which is 16:9 and although most of the HD Programming fits the screen perfectly I still have black bars on some programs. I thought that letterboxing happens only in 4:3 TVs when widescreen picture is shown. When a HDTV shows letterboxing what kind of programming is being shown OR is there something wrong with my TV ?

My TV has one digital audio input (RCA). I want to be able to hook up my PC (one digital audio output (RCA)) and my Xbox360 (one digital audio output (TOSLINK)) without using a switchbox.

Is there a cable or adapter that can do this?

I tried using an RCA to dual RCA splitter/combiner, but it didn't work. When I had both the PC and Xbox360 on, there is no audio. But if I turn one or the other off, then I can get audio correctly. So I'm guessing that with just a passive splitter/combiner, the digital signals interfere with each other and cause no audio.

I am in need of new speakers for my new home theater system, however as tech savy as I am, speakers are not my forte. The current speakers I run are 8 Ohm impedance, 150W, 91DB Sound pressure, with 36Hz-22Khz range. These are Onkyo Fusion AVs. I need a good pair of slim line speakers, and I have found a few that I like however I am not sure how they compare with my current set.

Can somone please explain to me which of these statistics should be lower, and which should be higher for optimal sound quality.

Thanks!

Does anyone know where I can buy a dishnetwork high def decoder?

Also, do I have to subscribe thru Disnetwork for HD channels? Or would some type of OTA antenna be ok?

I'm trying to get HD channel for a good price. Comcast has their offerings of $5/month to rent the Moto stb that decodes the channels to HD.

Thanks

Hi,

How do dead pixels occur in LCD projectors?
And how can you reduce the risks of them happening?
And if they do happen, what can I do and how much will it cost to fix the dead pixels?

Thanks!!

Hi,

I'm planning to buy a Panasonic PT-AX100 projector.
However, I came across quite a few reviews which said they got "jaggies" (i assume thats jagged lines, right?) at 1080i (and i assume that means a type of resolution, right?)
Anyway, here are the "compatibilities" of the projector I want to get.
When and for what would I use each one? And what will difference be between each one?
And which one would I use if I want to show films played from a DVD player?
And which one would I use if I want to play Sky television on the projector?
And finally, which one would I use if I want to hook up an Xbox and play Xbox on the projector?


Compatibility: HDTV:
720p, 1080i, 1080p/60
1080p/24, 1080p/50, 525i
525p, 576i, 576p
625i, 625p, 1125i


Thank you very very much!!!

Hi,

I'm planning to buy a Panasonic PT-AX100 projector to project onto a 100" screen. However, if I want to be able to do that if the projector is only 16 feet (4.85 metres) throw distance, I must increase zoom to like 1.5x rather than default 1.0x.
What effect on image quality/performance etc...will this increase in zoom have?

Thank you!!

I have a dvd player that has the surround sound speakers. It is hooked up so it only works if I play a dvd. Is there anyway I can hook it up so the sound from the tv goes thru the speakers as well? There is no receiver, but is an AUX feature. Let me know..Thanks

I was just wondering, just like how you can stop paying Comcast $3 a month by buying your own cable modem, can you do that same thing with a digital cable box? If so, there is the best place to purchase them?

When someone says "this projector has been calibrated", does it mean they have adjusted the basic controls such as brightness and contrast, or does this mean something more advanced, and if so what?

This is a question on sound quality and my desktop computer.

Does data(cd or dvd) format give you the same 5.1 surround sound quality as actual(cd or dvd) format.

The reason i am asking is because i am planning on getting some 80watt surround sound speakers.

Also through 5.1 surround sound speakers, can you still give 5.1 surround sound even if some videos don't state surround sound, or is pretty much every video in surround sound now.

Also is 7.1 surround sound any different than 5.1, or is it just more speakers.

By the way, if i am not interested in bass, i'm just interested in surround sound only, is 80watt speakers good for a 10 by 11 room. Also can i get good surround sound with those kinds of speakers. Also can sound blaster card improve sound quality. The sound blaster card i am talking about is only $30 and i can get it from walmart. Its the Audigy Sound Blaster by Creative.
