| What can I do to upgrade Shriram,Is this a HT system, or audio only? If HT, what video display do you have and are you interested in upgrading that?ThanksBruce | |
| Help Surround decoding formats. Whatever you choose, I highly recommend DPLIIx and/or Logic7 to be able to enjoy 7.1 listening. Most new receivers seem to now offer DPLIIx, and I believe the newer HK receivers offer full functionality Logic7 (can be applied to all sources. Older... | |
| Need Help with Plasma Burn In vs. DLP Decisions My $0.02 worth,Have you decided on a screen size? In my own case, a large screen size was a high priority, and price versus screen size weighed heavily in my decision.About 2 years ago I bought a 61" Samsung DLP and have been very happy with it. A... | |
| Samsung DLP - best choice for the Money Larry,I am a very satisfied customer of two Samsung DLP RPTVs, and think you will be very pleased with your choice. I personally prefer DLP over LCD in a rear projection TV. I have not video-auditioned LCOS RPTVs, nor have I compared Samsung to ot... | |
| 6.1 receiver Tom,Hope this isn't a duplicate post (having keyboard trouble), but my recommendation is to get a 7.1 receiver with DPLIIx, and not a 6.1 receiver. If you plan to expand beyond a 5.1 speaker system, 7.1 is the right way to go, not 6.1.I'm not fami... | |
| Bel Canto eVo 6 Gen2 v Cary Audio Design Cinema 5 Dan,In response to "(or is there another amp that's a clear step up from the Rotel and costs less than $5K that someone can recommend??)", I would look at the Gemstone amp.ThanksBruce | |
| What are the speaker placements for 7.1 HT setup? Kee_tanMy comments are focused on the question of a 5.1 vs 6.1 vs 7.1 speaker system.My recommendation is to go with a 7.1 speaker system, unless you have a physical layout that just will not support 7.1. If you cannot do 7.1, then I recommend 5.1... | |
| What are the speaker placements for 7.1 HT setup? Kee_tan,7.1 will provide a more enveloping surround environment than 5.1. I personally found it significantly better.A 6.1 speaker array is not a good choice. A single rear speaker is subject to front-to-back reversals and doesn't spread the rear ... | |
| Anyone try center backs this way???????........ Chadnliz,When you say center backs, did you mean two rear channel speakers spread apart on the back wall? I hope they don't have the two speakers placed together at the center of the rear wall as rear speakers should be spaced about 150 degrees fr... | |
| Side speakers? For 7.1, the side speakers should be placed at plus and minus 90 degrees; i.e., directly to the sides of the primary listening area, not behind the listening area. The rear speakers ahould be placed at about 150 degrees; i.e., spread out on the ba... | |
| HDCP DVI No_slouch,My understanding is that today, HDMI is basically DVI video plus digital audio. An HDMI-to-DVI cable simply passes the HDMI video outputs to the DVI video inputs, and drops the audio. But there are some caveats.One is that video over HDM... | |
| Samsung DVD HD Upsampler? Greh,If you are buying a fixed pixel microdisplay based rear projection high def TV; e.g., DLP, LCD, or D-ILA, then I would definitely consider an unconverting DVD player with DVI/HMDI output.Results of DVI/HDMI connection versus Component vary by... | |
| Center channel mounting on Mitsubishi 52725 Sean,Just as in Nac25's case with his Mits set, microdisplay based RPTVs in general have a particular problem in that the top shelf is very shallow. I had always thought that was done on purpose to keep people from putting anything other than a ti... | |
| Center channel mounting on Mitsubishi 52725 Sean,When you say three guns inside the RPTV, are you talking about a CRT based set? Or are you including microdisplay technologies as well, such as the portion of an LCD based set's optical engine that has three light paths?I can see where a bigg... | |
| Center channel mounting on Mitsubishi 52725 Sean,Very interesting reading. I was well aware of the issue of CC speaker weight possibly warping the cabinet of a microdisplay based RPTV, but never thought about CC speaker vibrations affecting the display.If you haven't already done so, I woul... |
