Home Theater

It's a Sony SLV-E730 VCR, and I recently moved it from one room to another, and now it won't power up. I believe the anti-theft system has locked it. I can't find the manual, not much info on the net either.. what do you think?
Thanks

I'll try to be as detailed and specific as I can.
I macguyver'ed a surround sound speaker set-up using some computer speakers wtith a subwoofer and a vcr. I have my game consoles hooked into it, with a dvd player. The audio is coming out of the tv and into the back of another audio port of a computer speaker, which has a 3.5mm jack for headphones/speakers which are split amongst the external speakers. The issue is, when there is a tape playing in the vcr, or a game/dvd playing on the playstation, the external speakers lose sound whenever there is a dark scene, but returns when the color is back. The xbox however, has no issues with losing sound with the darkness on screen. Sound comes through the tv speakers regardless of what is on screen whilst using any of the devices. Over the course of three weeks Ive been troubleshooting it and trying dozens of configs to make this problem disappear. Who has the answer to make the sound stay on throughout a session of gaming/movie watching?

is there a speaker that you can't hear absolutely anything from the sides or rear until you get right in front of it? the sound waves don't spread out or something.

I know when you want to remove division or multiplication in algebra, every term on the left and right side must be either multiplied or divided. For example: 2x + 12 = 20. Normally, people simplify by subtracting 12 from each side, but even if you don't, it still works by doing x + 12/2 = 20/2, which comes out to x + 6 = 10, take away 6 from both sides, and you get 4. However, this doesn't seem to work with squares or square-roots. For example: x^2 + 4 = 20. x + sqrt(4) = sqrt(20) doesn't work. If you simplify beforehand and do x^2 = 16, you get the right answer (4). Why doesn't my first example work? Is there some sort of special rule?

for some strange reason both my dvd player and hdtv tuner box both show wierd colors. receiver mostly blue with red and my dvd player all red but if I hook up either one with composite or s-video then the picture is fine.
I've tried different component wires all with the same result AND my xbox using component displays all the colors correctly. Anybody know why?

TV is Toshiba 27" flat screen analog w/ colorstream component output

My 65 inch projection tv only goes as high as 1080i.

Now I've been told that 720p is better because 1080i only shows 540 lines at a time, the odd numbered lines first then the even numbered ones while 720p shows all 720 lines at once.

Any experts out there that can shed some light on the subject?

My old RCA 5.1 Home Theater receiver just bit the dust. My room is wired to handle 7.1 configuration, but I am not sure which would be best. Room size: 13X20 with front projection DLP picture. Budget of about $500 for the receiver. Should I put the money into a top of the line 5.1 or middle 7.1?

I am going to get a low end home theater projector.

I looked at the infocus in72, optoma h27, toshiba tdp-et## (forget the model) and the epson home 20.

The DLP seems to get better reviews for black but they are much lower in lumens. Also the 300-400 replacement dlp bulb really scares me.

The epson seems to have better colors, higher light output. $200 bulbs and much more flexible positioning. I like the idea of putting the projector on the coffee table instead of behind or on the ceiling. I figure that I my Wii, home theater pc and dvd player in the coffee table as well.

What worries me is the test that Texas Instruments did that showed that LCDs are really prone to burning out their colors. But the test was a little extreme. 24/7 operation for 2 months.

Anyone else have an epson powerlite home 20, 30s or something similar with an lcd prjector and are happy with it?

I don't want to go 720p or higher for another 2-3 years.

We just got a 123 inch home theater screen with a xenon light bulb projector and every other part involved for the highest quality which I do not want to go to in detail. However, what I found particularly interesting is that I am capable of using 1920P, while most HD programming only goes up to 1080i. Is there anything I can use 1920P for?

I have a Onkyo stereo receiver TX-8011 and Paradigm Atoms. Setup is okay but I'm not happy with the sound sometimes.
It is great with certain tracks but lacks clarity in others. I understand that Atoms are used as rear speakers in their home theater kits. Thats the mistake i did. It has very good bass and brings out more in vocals.

The music isn't very detailed. Treble is bright and little harsh when volume is cranked up beyond 40%. Drums and guitars sound good but it lacks that final details.

I just want a better pair of speakers for music.

Will Wharfedale Diamond 9.1 or the Polk RTi4 be better?

I have been doing some research and have pretty much settled on something by Logitech. Beyond that, I have discovered that the two models that fall within my price range are the Harmony 520 and 550. Can anyone tell me which of these is the better choice ?

I have an older JVC tv, a newer Sony home theatre system, a dual Yamaha tape deck, a Sony boom box, a Magnavox DVD/VCR player, and a Rogers digital cable box. I don't have a cd player yet but that will coming soon, I hope. The Sony theatre system came with a pretty decent universal remote but the problem is that it doesn't have designated buttons for the designated buttons on the cable remote (colour-coated menu buttons).

Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you can suggest something cheaper but just as reliable, I would be even more appreciative.

Thanks a lot !

Hi, I was wondering, do I really have to purchase any of the new receivers/Processors available now or coming out soon with HDMI inputs and DTS HD and Dolby Plus modes available in order to take advantage of the new sound modes in HD and Blu Ray players. Do you really need an HDMI input in your receiver/processor to hear the new sound modes also
