I have a Harman Kardon AVR 347 with two input HDMI slots and one HDMI output, LCD TV with two HDMI inputs (one also says DVI - not sure what that means either since there is a DVI slot as well with digital audio next to it), upconverting DVD player with HDMI and component outputs, Directv Basic Satelite Box (in the process of upgrading to Comcast HD but not yet allowed in my building and way too expensive to buy Directv HD Box) with S-Video and Analog Audio (Red, White & Yellow Plugs - only using Red and White for audio).

Here's how it's connected right now, please let me know if this will work:
- DVD HDMI to Receiver (HDMI Input 1)
- Directv S-Video and Analog Audio to Receiver (Video 2 Input)
- Receiver HDMI to LCD TV (HDMI Output to HDMI Input 2)

Do I need any other connections? Can the HDMI cable to the TV handle the basic analog audio and S-Video connection from the Satelite? How can I make this setup better? What else do I need? Please reply with any advise, THANKS

I have an Epson EMP-TW100 projector, it's getting a bit old now maybe 5 years. Lately I'm sure it's getting noisier and its obviously fan noise.

Has anyone had any experience with this? Is it a replace the fan deal (is that possible?) or would oiling it help?

What do you think?

I can watch a movie off my DVD player just fine. When I turn the TV on I get the "source not found" message. It used to work! Someone help!

The system works, that is to say we are using it to handle the audio for the tv and directv but we have a dvd in the drawer and can not get it to eject or play.

It puts out 80 watts per channel at 8ohms and I am wondering what is the most powerfull speaker I could add to the system. For example could I connect a pair of Floor Speakers with a max of 100 watts or should I connect something that is lower than 80watts?

I have a new Elite plasma 42 inch tv. I have a HD cable box. The person that sold me the TV says that if I get an upgraded cable from the wall to the cable box, it would help.

Also the Blue, Red, and Green cables from the cable box to the TV.

There is also the HD cable from the box to the TV that could be upgraded to give me the best picture possible.

I have purchased an upgraded cable from the DVD to the TV and he said that it should resutl in better movies, no my DVD is not HD or Blue. But it should make it the movie better.

The additional cables would run almost $200. Is it worth it? Would the picture be that much better? If so...I would buy them, if not...then no.

I've had a 5.1 surround sound system for quite a while now, and I still haven't figured out how to set it up. Back when I got it, I connected it to my PC, and according to the manual that I lost long time ago, the motherboard had to be able to support 6 channels in order for me to get surround sound. I switched from 2/4 channels to 6 channels and only the frontal speakers worked, the rear left and rear right speakers weren't working. When it's on 2/4 channel, all of the speakers work but not with the result I was expecting, or is this what surround sound is all about?

I recently bought an Xbox 360, connected my surround sound system and I had the same issue. Do I have to buy a special cable to connect the system to the xbox 360? I read in other questions optical cables were required. Thanks in advance.

I just bought the Phillips HTS6500 theater in a box. It has a usb port that supports a flash drive. Is there a way to convert a hard drive to plug into the usb that contains all of my music and movies? Has anyone tried this? Is there long loading times or choppy video? Thanks,

Hi. I have complete set of Sony ES home theater audio system that includs two Speakers, Amplifier, CD player, Tuner/FM AM, Cassette player, and Mini disc player. I'm sure these will be useful to people who would really want it as they are just crowding my house at the moment. I know that they originally cost at least 15000 euros altogether about 5 years ago. Could anybody tell me how to get them appraised and where and how to sell them, and etc... Thank you very much for any advice.
