I just got the above model today from Comet for 359.99 as it was reduced from 449.99, but since I got it at 3.30pm, and I was working at 5, I will have to take it out the box and set it up tomorrow. I read that it is an excellent system, does anyone out there have one? How good is it? According to What Hi-Fi? it is the best Home Theatre for under 500 quid, and it got 8th position for the top 10 Home theatre systems in Stuff magazine, both gave it 5 stars. If anyone wants a home Theatre system, looks like this is the one to get! looks amazing, too, though it is silver it won't go so well with my new black TV!

I really like the look of the Panasonic ones, and my VHS recorder was a Panasonic (it's lasted nearly ten years, amazing considering it has been used almost daily!) so I want to stick to the brand. I will be looking at ex-display or 2nd hand items because I can't afford new, I just want something that will replace my video recorder effectively and efficiently. I find it really difficult finding what I want on review sites, they always seem interested in the latest and most expensive models and probably judge them on much higher standards than are necessary for my needs, I'm just Joe Average and not a home cinema perfectionist freak.

Suggestions on what to look for, in-depth knowledge, or personal experience is most welcome!

PS Component AV I/O (phono) is a must.

Hello everyone
Before I commit to buying a new amplifier, I just wanted to make sure that the amp that has Dolby Pro Logic EX (Pro Logic IIx) written on it is compatible with hardware that outputs with the older, Dolby prologic II?
Thank you.

I've got a simple surround sound setup in my living room with 2 rear speakers. Right now I have 2 lame cables strewn across my carpet in the middle of the room between the tv and the back of my couch. What's the best way to get these things out of the way? Is there a wireless solution? Should I just put the wires up along the corners of the room? Under the carpet? Any other ideas? Thanks!

I have a great Onkyo receiver, but I am working with two rooms (speakers, passive monitor in each room), using a set of remote signal senders. While the receiver does have an A/B speaker selector, it is not controled via remote. I don't want to replace the unit.
I have looked on line and found speaker selector boxes, but none are remote control. Does such an animal exist?
If they don't make it, how would I go about making one? (parts, instructions etc)
The other issues is I want to keep it under $100

My receiver only has separate 5.1 inputs (6 RCA inputs, one for each speaker), but my DVD player have optical audio outs (but not 5.1 RCA outs), so I would like to use that if possible. Is there any adapter or connector that will convert an optical audio signal into 6 separate RCA plugs for a 5.1 input?

I was looking to replace an RCA home theater system that has recently gone bad, and I'm kinda stumped on what/where to buy. What I'm looking for in a system is:

-Has to be a complete home theater system (DVD player, etc.)
-I want to be able to plug in my PS2 and soon to have PS3 (Not at same time)
-TV connectivity - I have DISH Network and it's fed through coax cable, so I definately want to watch TV with surround sound (Most important!)
-I want something that can last a good 5 years or so (reliable)
-Space available is a dresser, about 18"-20" wide
-The TV I currently own has only a single input, which is a coax connector (Plan to upgrade to some sort of Plasma/LCD TV in the future, but might not be until next year..so must work with the current TV)
-Speakers must be wall mountable (Except subwoofer and center)
-Wireless subwoofer would be a huge plus!
-Price range is $350 and less
-Prefer black/silver colored system

Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank

I have an Onkyo receiver that is great, except that the selection between A and B speakers cant be controlled with the remote (you can only do it on the unit directly). This is a problem because I am working with two rooms (with a set of speakers and a passive monitor in each one) using a set of remote signal senders.
I particularly like Onkyo, Pioneer and Yamaha, and don't want to spend a fortune, so prices, if you know them would be helpful.

I am looking for a solution, so please only answer if you can do so coherently and accurately.

I've been looking for some Home Theatre speakers to go with a Kenwwod audio/video receiver (VRS-N8100) I wanted to purchase. I can't seem to find alot of Stores that carry them, and when I go online, they are either out of stock or display models. Can someone point me to somewhere I can get them OTHER THAN Amazon?

I went to the KenwoodUsa website and only saw the 2005 Catalog there.. am I going to see a 2006 or 2007 brochure? Or is it "Asta Lavista Babyyy" (Sorry I don't know spanish very well :-)

Okay, l have tried to ask this question a number of times. It would be nice if someone answered that actually has hands on experience with the question at hand. Showing me a link to a site that sells a HD DVD player or a standard definition dvd player that claims to have upscaling abilities means nothing. I can search web sites on my own and find hundreds of players that claim to upscale. Further research indicates that most of them DO NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I am looking for someone who has purchased a DVD player for the explicit purpose of upscaling standard definition DVD, [480 lines per inch] to a 720p or 1080i display, and has been very happy with the results. If you don't have such a DVD player,a DLP projector and a screen 8 feet or larger, you don't have an answer that will help me.

Ok, so I want to put together a decent 7.1 home theater system. I'm starting out with the Reciever and then I will get the speakers. How do I know which speakers to consider? Do I have to match the Ohms and wattage exactly? Should the speakers actually handle much more wattage than my reciever puts out to ensure that I don't blow them? Should the speakers be the same company as the reciever? Is there ANYTHING else that I'm not considering?

I have a samsung hl-s5687w 56in hdtv. I also have logitech z-5500 5.1 speakers. I want to plug it into my tv which I would also use for my ps2 and the upcoming ps3 along with my computer every now and then when I plug it in. I dont want to buy a a/v system because of price but if its necessary then I'll see. I guess the question boils down to: Can my plug my speakers directly into the tv? Also what cables would I need?
