Home Theater

I have a device that has a dvi out port with hdcp but my tv only has an hdmi port with hdcp. Will a dvi to hdmi adapter work with hdcp?

In our family room, I ran wires for a 5.1 surround sound system. I also ran speaker wires from the component location to the kitchen as well as out to the back-yard. I'm ready to buy my system, but not sure how I'm going to get music to all these locations.

My preference would be to get a decent 5.1 HTIB system. (This is not the home theater, just a family room next to the kitchen where we watch the news and where the kids watch their DVD's while mom/dad are in the kitchen). I want to be able to play the sound in the kitchen or in the back-yard as well. Do I have to find a HTIB with a "zone 2" speaker setup? Can I use an A/B speaker switch with a regular 5.1 system?

Any other suggestions would be appreciated as well.

To enjoy uncompressed Multi channel audio formats like DolbyTrueHD and DTS HD Master, how would the HDMI connection be made, one cable from the player to the display, then another cable from the display to the surround reciever? Or is there only one cable used?

I just bought a zenith DVD player model dvb-712. I bought it on a clearence shelfe no remote. I do have a logitech harmony remote I programed for the DVD player. I went to set up no option on aspect other than 4:3 and 16:9. I have it in the 16:9 atm but still only getting 480p. There is a resolution button on my remote but it does nothing but give me the circle with a bar in it. I,m just curious if I got bad remote info in my remote or if I'm just not holding my tongue correct.

I am confused as to where the aerial cable should go, from the wall to receiver then output to my tv via component cables (my receiver doesnt support HDMI cabling) or straight to my TV as it has the digital tuner built in and so might yield a better picture? I would then output my TV to my receiver for distributing sound etc. Someone help because I am totally lost!

I ordered a front end movie projector for my living (home theater DLP 720p projector). In addition to component, composite and s-video, it has a hdmi(DVI) and 15 pin vga input.

I have a home theater PC that has both dvi and vga output ports. I only have a VGA cable for it right now.

I know vga is analog and dvi is digital and offers "no distortion", but will I reallt see any significant difference if I upgrade to a dvi cable? The distance is about 10' to my htpc

(That transmit adio and video) Someone please HELP!I want something good and reliable and not some no-name company.

I have a issue with my onkyo surround speakers not playing very loudly. I have a onkyo ht-r510 receiver and use the standard onkyo speakers that came with the htib. I use sony tower speakers for my left and right channels. I have the volume and distance info for all my speakers programmed into my receiver. The rear speakers use roughly 25 feet of 16gauge speaker wire, but still seem fairly soft. Any suggestions on how to make my rear speakers more effective?

Okay, i have some nice speakers but don't think the receiver is really fully utilizing them. My front speakers are the JBL ND310 II, a JBL PB12 subwoofer, 2 KLH rear speakers and a bose center channel speaker. The receiver i have now is the sony str-de685. It's a pretty basic receiver. Any suggestions on good receivers for a moderate budget to really get the full effect of my speakers?

......sound great with any other genre, but every rap song I try sounds really bad quality. The speakers make a low, grumbling kind of sound whenever there's a bass drum (which sounds really bad). Anyone know what the problem could be? The speakers are new, my dad just bought them, but I'm not sure the brand or model.

Please no stupid "Rap sounds terrible anyway" answers.

I have looked at tons of cables from Best Buy and Wal-Mart. The ones from Wal-Mart are obviously cheaper, but will I sacrifice quality? I am going to be using an XBOX 360.

I'm looking for a whole new set up, except for the record player, for under $800. I have looked at Onkyo's Home Theater systems (sr600 and sr800) but I have yet to hear of the quality of sound for playing vinyl. Home theater systems may be easier but I am not opposed to a separate receiver and speakers.

I listen to mostly records but I also frequently listen to my iPod and sometimes CD's and movies. Also if it is of any help, I listen to mostly folk and indie rock.

Any suggestions??

I bought a 44 inch plasma EDTV before HD became all the rage. now they have HD DVD players. I have a very extensive DVD library and i was wondering if i can play regular DVDs on an HD DVD player and also can i even use an HD DVD player with an EDTV? Honestly i am getting a bit agitated with all this because i spent quite alot of money on the setup i have now but with the options getting so diverse and with some DVDs only coming out in HD or Blueray format i want to up grade my player. Is this possible with an EDTV i dont want to have to shell out another 3 grand for another tv when the one i have isnt even 3 years old yet
