| Mitsubishi DLP problem Do you mean light engine? This can be very expensive, making it actually not worth repairing. Not sure of your model, but I know some light engines in the Mits can be as much as $1800 with labor.The bulk of the cost being the light engine itself u... | |
| A newbie seeking advise on a projector Prpixel thanks for the info...I agree with you on the Sony's. They do have a great picture! My only dislike of them is the fan noise. The big JVC's have extremely good black levels as well...Even the older 720Ps are great! I've installed both in a... | |
| A newbie seeking advise on a projector Hey Chad here's a review of it Mits HC5500 review. No doubt the reviewer is a little bias towards Epsons. For the street price..she's going to be hard to beat! I like the screen shots in this review. You get to see just how sharp this projector is... | |
| A newbie seeking advise on a projector I've been researching models as well. I hope to purchase one myself soon. The Mitsubishi HC5500 jumps out at me. It is a 1080P unit selling for $1300(retail $2495). It uses the Silicon Optics HQV chip(this chip is used in projectors over 4 grand).... | |
| How do I bypass KMixer in Windows XP Another alternative is to upgrade to Vista SP2, use the WASAPI plugin with Foobar or J.River and be done with it. You can get up to 24/192 output if your Dac is capable and you use the SPDIF output of the PC. | |
| Time to pull the trigger on BluRay? Jim most modern displays I know of..including projectors don't allow 1080P transfers through RGB. With RGB.. 1080i or 720P is as good as one can get. As nice as 720P looks..it isn't 1080P by a long shot.HDMI has its advantages, like lip sync corre... | |
| Time to pull the trigger on BluRay? If your SXRD is indeed 1080P, it has an HDMI input. So you should be fine. | |
| Time to pull the trigger on BluRay? Yeah I would just go with the PS3 , since it is upgradeable friendly compared to most standalone players. You can get a remote for it here PlayStation 3 Blu Wave Remote. If your SXRD is 1080P you'll see the benefits of Blu ray. If it is not..you'l... | |
| Apple versus PC If using Vista...the foobar WASAPI plug in is terrific. What is WASAPI? Here's a few words from and article that explains it."Why Yet Another Audio API?So why has Microsoft added WASAPI to the list? * First, Vista has a completely new audio mixing... | |
| HTPC - What is it that I need? As long as he uses a source that can output the new format, like the HDAV soundcard and his Yamaha has analog inputs for his speakers..he can enjoy the newest codecs without the need of a newer processor. Best of luck to him..he's in for a treat!! | |
| HTPC - What is it that I need? By budget, just how much is he planning to spend?I'm sure he's aware of Newegg.com for hardware resources.He'll find most of what he needs there or he can just buy a Dell HTPC for around a $1000 or less and add what ever he wants to it.He has a wi... | |
| Missong Audio Range.... Not sure what was going on there Chadnliz. My copy clearly had no DTS or Dolby digital on the disc. It did have the new formats..I take that back..all the other languages like Spanish, Portuguese and French had standard Dolby digital or DTS encode... | |
| Netflix and Tivo to stream internet movies to Tivo Yeah I can see downloads eventually taking over..especially for standard DVDs. As mentioned previously, the download speeds do make a huge difference.I logged into my Netflix account at my brother's home. He has one of his PCs wired to his 46 inch... | |
| Missong Audio Range.... I had the same experience with Iron Man. It looks as though Iron man only has the HD codecs. They didn't include the standard codecs with this movie for some stupid reason. My PC just sends it out as a 2 channel down sampled signal. This is the re... | |
| Sound distribution amp? Which one? I would go with the Niles. They have several units to choose from. Some are very expandable, allowing you to have a keypad in each area linked to the Niles head unit. |
