| How to calibrate dual subwoofers? Myraj, get matching one won't help, but funny though.Sean, welcome back. These are active subs. | |
| Why dual subwoofers ? Actually, I have couple questions. Since my AVR does not have two outputs for two subs, is it true that I can use a Y connector for dual subs? If such is the case, does any A'gon member know if the sound is as comparable as the AVR w/ two outputs ... | |
| Building from scratch... why not go 6.1 or 7.1? Nighthawk is correct. The Master & Commander is considered a reference DVD by Sound&Vision magazine. With the proper surround setting, viewers can hear crew walking above them. In that movie, the director wanted to add less music and more ... | |
| Building from scratch... why not go 6.1 or 7.1? My pre/pro is 7.1 and my amp is 5-channel. My set up is 5.1 b/c all my speakers are full size. There is no room for 7.1.If you have room for 7.1, do it. If not, why buy 7.1 now when 9.1 is starting to flood the market. The current issue of Sound &... | |
| Bigger is Better... Since you are looking for 42", I recommend the Panasonic. The current model has contrast ratio of 4000:1. My last year model has 3000:1. Panasonic makes it own glass and for others. If I recall correctly, this is the 6th generation of Panny making... | |
| Do home theater test discs exist? * Avia* Ovation from Sound & Vision (essentially the same product as Avia for substantially less)* Video Essential | |
| Recommendations for Composite Video Cable? I use IXOS cable, acompany from UK. Its prices are comparable to those from Monster, which is equivalent to the overpricing Bose. IXOS website often does marketing about directional soldered cable with good insulation. I usually got mine IXOS ship... | |
| Clearing up bad info on Plasma Display's. I agree with Rabmen. Every thing has its flaw. Nothing is perfect. However, when doing comparison and contrast or doing the risk-benefit analysis, I end up going w/ a Panasonic plasma. My definition of good pictures include clarity, brightness, co... | |
| THX vs. DTS Personally, THX certified AVR have come down in price substantially. For example, consumers can buy over the Internet a Yamaha RX-V1400, THX certified w/ MSRP $799, for roughly $600. Such unit does video up conversion for ease of use; decodes THX ... | |
| Different HDTV signals? Eldartford,The remote control for my plasma has a button for the aspect as well. I used such feature a lot when I was using the S-video cable for regular TV watching while the component video input was reserved for the DVD. Now that I have the Yam... | |
| Different HDTV signals? All of the above posts are correct. I just want to add some minor details. For HD channels only, such as channel 904 for HD-NBC rather regular channel 4 for NTSC NBC in my case, prime-time shows broadcast in HD would fill up the plasma screen. Whe... | |
| Panny vs. NEC plasma deathmatch Here is another way to look at it. According to PlasmaTVBuyingGuid.com, Panasonic plasma has a lifetime between 20K-30K hours. Some A'gon in this forum wrote that was only for half life. Some said otherwise. For NEC, I don't know the figure, but l... | |
| why hook your dvd-video to your receiver? 2 primary reasons:1) It's for wife and two infants.2) My old Panasonic Plasma has only 1 component video input.Rather than to switch through inputs on TV AND A/V selection on the receiver, I have my AVR perform the up-video conversion. Therefore, ... | |
| Harman Kardon AVR vs. Yamaha RX-V2400 ?? As the matter of fact, I agree with Exertfluffer. I have my Yamaha RX-V1400 (also THX certified) driven by a Marantz 5-channel amplifer at 170watt each channel. Just couldn't afford a better amp. Regardless, they sound very good to my ears. On the... | |
| Harman Kardon AVR vs. Yamaha RX-V2400 ?? I'm bias. Go for THX RX-V2400. THX may be meaningless on A'gon, but to mass consumers, they dig it, so resale value and foot traffic may be higher. |
