Home Theater

Hi people. I'm looking for a new center channel speaker to replace an Onkyo with blown tweeters. I recently bought some floorstanding JBL's (Mains) and they did not dissapoint. I'm looking to spend under $200. Around $100 would be nice though.

Here is a few I had in mind:

Does anyone have any experience with these?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

it'a like a big boom box that isn't meant for travel. the speakers are detached and wired and you can have mp3 inputs and bass boosters you can set it up aroun your room and no not for the TV kind.

Our flatscreen tv has awful sound and we want to buy some speakers. We are on a tight budget and see some speakers for around $150 we can afford that we like. We notice though that usually people get receivers to plug into the tv then have the speakers plug into the receiver. What is the advantage of this say instead of just plugging the speakers directly into the television? What is the purpose and benefits of spending another $150+ on a receiver? What does it do? We really can't afford the extra money unless its essential.

I have a 1080p LCD TV. Why should I get an upconverter? Also, we have some Sony surround sound system that has a DVD player built in it. Is it possible to hook the upconverter up to this and play DVDs on the upconverter? Thank you for your help.

I own a JVC 1080P television a PS3 and I just bought a Sony STR-DG910 7.1-Channel Home Theater Receiver and HDMI cords 1.3. My question is the PS3 will not up convert copy protected standard DVDs but when using the receiver and the HDMI output, which It will up convert the quality of the Picture, will the DVD appear 1080pish or at least better despite PS3 not upconverting it or not? In additon would that picture quality be better or would another DVD player with component cables instead? and will the picture be 1080P, 1080i, 720P or just somewhere between 480p and 720P?

I have a Sony XBR2 LCD which unfortunately does not display th x.v.color spectrum. So far it is not an issue because DVDs and Blu-Rays are not encoded with the x.v.color gamut, but I do know that at some point in the future the XV will become the norm. So, basically what I am asking is, when will my TV be "useless". (I realize that I will still be able to view movies and such, but it sucks that I would be missing out on the Blu-Ray's potential of deeper colors.)

I am running HDMI cable from A/V cabinet to TV and speaker wire to 7 speakers from A/V cabinet. I want the most professional look I can get DIY without going into walls or under carpet. I found one set of Phillips wire tubing but it was only 1/2 inch and not big enough for HDMI cables to run through?
What cost effective wire management systems are available to pull this off without too much hard work. Please give me brand or product names and/or links/websites/stores so I can get my hands on recommended system. Thanks alot

I am looking to buy an HDTV which I can connect to my computer. My concern is that the TV I am looking at does not have a DVI input but rather component and analog inputs. I can't use analog inputs because my p/c dvd player can't play modern dvds with the newer protections. Would component (connects through the s-video part of my video card) video support newer dvds or should I stick with DVI inputs?

Hi there, I have a onkyo ht- sr800 AV receiver as well as the onkyo DVD. I have plug cables as follow:
AV receiver:
- HDMI out -> TV HDMI-in
- DVD HDMI out -> AV receiver HDMI1 in
- DVD digital audio out -> AV receiver Digital in 1
- DVD Video-out(yellow) -> AV receiver DVD video-in(yellow)
- DVD Audio-out (red/white) -> AV receiver DVD audio-in(red/white)

I did the receiver/setup/video input/dvd hdmi1 steps, but my LCD (1080p) says "Incompatible mode", but if I connect my dvd hdmi out directly to my lcd hdmi input then it works.

can anyone help me here, I need to get my HT-SR800 HDMI output work.

Regards,

I have a 360 add-on for my HD-DVD player. I was wondering about the option to "force DTS". When "display" is pressed on the remote, you can choose between Dolby 2.0, DD, DTS, or WMA(?).

So what happens when the add-on turns a dolby track into a DTS track?

I have tried it out and had mixed results.

Wondering if someone had a definitive answer.

So i put the movie in thinking "gosh what fun, a HD action movie that i love and cant wait to see again" when the disc wont load. So i go on to the samsung website and find out that i can update my dvd player. so i do that. did exactly what was said, and it worked the way it said it should.
so i put the disc back in and it still wont load. but the number 1 and word slideshow appear on the little panel on the player...

so i put an old dvd in to make sure the dvd player wasnt screwy. worked fine. the number 2 and the word slideshow appeared.

then i put the HD disc in and it started to play, but the dvd player would disconnect as it played "no signal" etc.

what the hell is going on....?
anyone?

I just rented a dvd from blockbusters, and it wont work on my laptop. I normally play them on my laptop and they normally work. This one plays the first title then stops and wont play any further. I use InterVideo WinDvd as it was already on the laptop. Any idea's why it wont play? Because they normally do.
