I have a 5.1 speaker system that I am hooking up to my PC to replace my old dodgy 2.1 speaker system.

The sub on my old system was slightly wider, but shorter than the new one, and the new one is about 3cm too tall to fit in the same place. Is it safe to put it on it's side instead? Will it make any difference?

Does it really show DVD movies in high def?

It says it can upscale images up to 1080i, is this true? even when I use an HDMI cord?

Ok, I know that a projector is basically a monitor, and mine happens to not have an RF input with probably all projectors.

I was thinking of either
A) going through a tv tuner (proly a vcr cause its cheaper)
or
B) getting a TV tuner PCI card for my computer and then have the computer feed the signal to the projector. (example http://www.hauppauge.com/pages/products/data_goplus.html )
* I plan on using the projector as a second monitor for my computer via S-video

Can someone tell me if these would work, and if so, which is the best option?
Thanks in advanced

There are two speakers in the living room and two near the kitchen. There is an outlet with a telephone jack that has no telephone signal. There is another outlet with two coaxial connections but only one has a cable TV signal. Also have a smart box with a signal amplifier with a coax input and output, but nothing connected. An old flier I found said the surround sound was CAT 5. Any ideas on how to hook it up?

We currently have the Comcast "Basic Cable Service" at our house, and we are planning to get an HDTV. The Comcast site is confusing, so I figured I'd go to trusty Yahoo Answers. Do you need to get Digital Cable to get an HD signal, or can you get a seperate small box just for an HD signal alongside the normal analog cable? We really don't want to pay $54.95 a month for Digital cable, but the Comcast site leads me to thinking that you can get a little HD box for $5.00 more a month, regardless of what cable you have. What is the correct answer? Thanks!

I am exploring Polk Audio RM40 system, KEF KHT 5005 5.1 HTB and Cambridge Soundworks Entertainer Theater Systems.
I do not live in the areas where I can go try these systems out. Tweeter, Circuit City don't carry these models.
If anyone has it, looking for information about what you like and dislike about it. If you were do it again, what would you buy.
Money is no object for one of the 3 systems. Simply looking for better system to use with 50" plasma TV.

Do you have a DVD, VCR, or Both?


I am curious to see the results. At my job we send out free instructional videos. Consumer are always complaining that they do not own a VCR. I find that hard to believe because the people we cater to probably grew up with 8-track players in their car.

I am only 24yrs and I own both. I like to be prepared.

Newbie here. I'm trying to understand HDMI and Home Thetre systems. I currently have a Panasonic Plasma HD tv with 2 HDMI inputs and a comcast digital cable box with HDTV. I'm looking to get an economical Home theatre system and DVD player. I believe that I want to get a DVD player that does upconvert for my HD tv which requires the HDMI? Most of the lower end receivers I am looking at don't have HDMI inputs or outputs. If I get an upconvert DVD can I/should I use the hDMI port and connect it directly to the TV and then run a seperate audio cable to a receiver. Or should I fork out the money to get a receiver with HDMI ports. What are the disadvantages or advantages? Also I've seen some recievers that do the upconvert...is that a better way to go? Ultimately I'm trying to achieve a decent sounding system that's easy to use without spending big bucks. I want to hook up a DVD player, VCR, and play music through the surround sound. I was looking at the Onkyo HT-S590S Home theatre. thanks!

Bought it in 2001. Should we buy a new one? some way to clean old one?

When we load in a disc we own it plays ok. But all the discs from Netflix say - load a playable disc.

I am by no means an Audio connisseur. I'm looking for an economical surround sound system that is easy to deal with and provides good sound. I'm not looking to hear it from my neighboors house. I plan to hook up a DVD and VCR through it to my HD Panasonic plasma TV. I have heard good things about Onkyo and this is a low end system that they have. Any comments? or ideas? Thanks in Advance for your input.
