| Room design - home theater Vaulted ceiling? Are you planning to use a projector in the room one day? If so I would skip the vaulted ceiling. 9 foot flat ceiling would be my choice. | |
| Help buying a television If you can control the ambient light in the room. A front projector is another avenue.No panel can match the immersion you would get from a 100 inch screen. At 12 feet, a 100 inch screen would be exciting! I agree with others about the size. 50 in... | |

I do not own a streamer, but did you go to your sound mixer(speaker icon in the right hand corner of the screen and select it to be your default device for output?

| 3D Bluray players and Tvs How so is it a gimmick? Keep dreaming Jwm...thats a helluva gimmick worth billions of dollars. All video card makers are on the bandwagon. The largest movie studios and game makers have already come on board. Movie studios grossed more this year t... | |
| 3D Bluray players and Tvs Apparently you haven't been on this forum long my friend if you haven't seen the comparisons made by naysayers of Blu-ray.Panasonic just announced a few days ago they sold out of 3-D Tvs in America. So again...3Ds not going to fade anytime soon. | |
| 3D Bluray players and Tvs Very doubtful this will fade Theo. With gaming being such a large and profitable market. 3D technology is here to stay. It will only get better as time passes. Let us not forget all the folks that said Blu ray was just a fad like SACD. In the end,... | |
| 3D Bluray players and Tvs Don't forget front projectors! I would love to own a 3D capable PJ! As with all electronics, most are obsolete when they're first released IMO! ;-) | |
| Computer Do Over Rbstehno...I never said you couldn't use the mac mini as a server. I do understand what your getting at about the streaming... I do something similar .. except its with all Windows units. Comparing manufactured units ...the Macs may rate well, com... | |
| Computer Do Over Rbstehno,When I mentioned tower, I was referring to a media server not just a music server. And in that world a Mac Mini isn't the best machine for the job.Why does a tower have to be a Mac? Is it the only PC on the planet that can do what a perso... | |
| Computer Do Over For a main computer...I would just build one or have someone to build one for me. Linux is another great option as an OS. It's free and performs solidly. Virus protection isn't really necessary with it either. My favorites are Linux Ubuntu and Lin... | |
| Computer Do Over Actually there are quite a few PCs that are as small or smaller than a Mac Mini. All of them are cheaper as well.This one of them Acer Aspire.Here's another called the Fit PCSince you're using a wireless head unit, I'm not sure there will be a re... | |
| Rotel, no more DVD players? You are correct Queefee. It is using PC's. It's actually quite easy to setup with a little patience.I have movies that are ripped at 720P and 1080P.Both look great playing back off hard drive. The quality is as good as using a single disc player, ... | |
| Rotel, no more DVD players? I'm also curious to know reasons behind not considering a hard drive based system. Most of the people I've noticed that have negative views of HD Based systems, are the ones that haven't tried it.Yes there's always a chance of losing a drive.But t... | |
| Rotel, no more DVD players? I think its called the "advancement of technology". ;-)Disc player sales as a whole will continue to dwindle. Hard drive based players and online media storage will replace all silver disc in time. It is sooner than some think..just MHO. |
