I have found an older surround system that a freind had a few yrs ago. It is a very good system. But before I buy I would like to know if the LFE OUT as it says in the manual is the same as Digital Out today. Note I have not bought the set yet.. Thanx

Some of the longer cables I have seen are close to $200 each! I am all about quality and "getting what you pay for". My concern is that with cables there may not actually be any advantage in spending the extra cash.

The prices range from £400 to £4000, even tho they look the same (duh). What is the difference between a really expensive one and a really cheap one.

Hello! I have a little ? i,m tring to find out if these is a good speaker system or not. I have never heard of them and would like to know if anyone else has. I am thinking about getting a Harman AVR 347 recevier with it. My system will be a Harman AVR 347 recevier, Intimus 422 Harmony speaker system, and I have a nice 50" LCD tv with a PS3, XBOX 360, and a WII. Right now I have a BOSE Acoustimass 10 seires 3 and a sony STR DE-897 recevier and the sound is alright but I was told if I switch out my BOSE speakers the sound with some good brand speakers the sound will sound amzaing. I,m not tring to blow the roof off my house i just want something that sounds good. I watch movies about 40% of the time, Games is 60% & sometimes music but not so much. I was thinking a midrange system. So if someone can help thats great; cause i,m stuck on the Intimus 422 Harmony speakers that someone suggested.

Okay, so I want to compress DVD mpeg-2 content into divx avi. I do not want to lose any quality, but I want to have it as compressed as possible.

Sure, i could set it at 10,000 kbps, but that would be a waste of space. or i could set it at 400kbps, but that would murder the quality of the video. No, what i want is the least possible bitrate that maintains full quality.

Looking to buy a small home theatre system (under $750) for an apartment. We have a TV, DVD player and PVR etc. but want to add a sound system and controller that will allow us to attach an Ipod and computer (so I can play mp3s from itunes). We are also planning on using this system without the TV/DVD/PVR for a simple sound system for a small wedding (and as a home stereo) so it needs to stand on it's own too. Any suggestions? How do we hook up the computer?

Hi, I have an upscaling DVD and it gives me the option between 1080i 50Hz and 1080i 60Hz. My question is, what is the difference in the two? Does one look better than the other? Thank You.

My Home theater system, Philips make claims, it can play MPEG4 files (Simple Profile, Advanced Simple Profile) as well as DivX discs ( 3.11, 4.x, 5.x). However when I copy these files to CD the player does not recognize any file. When I use any of the recorders like Nero or Roxi they try to convert the mp4 files into avi format which makes the size unwieldy and it is actually a conventional VCD. How to record the mp4 or DivX files on cd which the player can recognize?

I have Sony TV KDE-42xs955, Sony DVD upconvert and receiver HK AVR 430.
I need your help to find out why my HDMI connection is not working.
Here are my current set up that did not work (no picture):
TV connect to DVD using HDMI cable
DVD connect to Receiver for audio to optical digital input using Toslink cable.
The problem:
I have the sound from speakers but I did not get any picture from TV.
If I connect the TV to DVD using component cable (Monster Cable) then I got picture but it is only display 480p.
Do you know why I did not get any picture if using HDMI?
Did I need to use any other cable?
why it is only display 480p using component cable?
I have checked the DVD setting and it's HDMI setting and is set to auto.
I did not see any TV setting for HDMI except it default to video 6 channel/ port.
Please help me with this problem.
