| Alternative to Sensio? Sensio is in the same boat as any other company would be in regards to availability of 3D material. Can you think of a company that would suddenly have access to more 3D than the limited amount that is available? There just is very little that was... | |
| A 90 minute window on all off air recordings? Don't ever bet on what will pass through Congress and/or the Supreme Court. Remember that Prohibition passes Congress well enough to become a constitutional ammendment. The supreme court also gave us the Dredd Scott decision ages ago.Congress alre... | |
| Anyone with a high-end home theater sans sub? No way the Meridian will do 118 db at 18Hz. I could do that with my old system but it had 32 12" woofers. I ran that for quite some time and still miss my old speakers (Infinity IRS V mains, IRS Betas for surrounds and IRS Gamma for a center chann... | |
| What screen to buy with $1500????? Front projection is the way to go! I sell systems like this and they are certainly more impressive than what you could get with a direct view display for the same price. | |
| Component switcher with DVI output DVI is either Digital if DVI-D, Analog if DVI-A or either/both if DVI-I.Sat boxes with DVI output have them enabled. Some have HDCP while others do not. For the sake of completely answering any unasked questions, DVI is a subset of HDMI and so you... | |
| Too much upconversion? Unless your display doesn't do 720p natively. Ideally, you want to your video to be deinterlaced and scaled only one time each. If your native display is not 720p, it would be best to have a processor scale it from 480i or 480p to the native displ... | |
| Vandersteen Sub & Adcom Processor Debugging I have two GTP-880's in my house and am an Adcom dealer, so I am a little familiar with them.If you are running the fronts as large, then you are not crossing them over and as such, you will not send the bass to the sub.Set your mains to "small" a... | |
| No Audiophiles in Hollywood Wasn't he in the "Beaty and the Beast" TV series with Linda Hamilton?In The Italian Job, Seth Green's system has many speakers next to eachother in a row. They really should have asked to borrow my old Infinities! While they won't blow a woman's c... | |
| What makes your Home Theater system I think that most people who watch films at home do not get the same "theater experience" but there are people who have an actual "theater" in their home, rather than a multi-function media room. If you invite enough friends over, you can still ge... | |
| No on-screen display for Adcom processor Or more to the point, they will not be able to do it as an HDTV overlay. There just isn't the available chipset to do it in the price range. Last quote I heard on them, the chips that could do it would cost more than a Lexicon MC-12B.I think there... | |
| Tactile transducers ? Set-up is very important for these. You have to get the volume just right and also set the crossover properly as well. Clark Synthesis generally tries to run full range with their unit and I don't like that. Buttkicker is much better in my opinion... | |
| High Definition? DirecTV doesn't offer local HD. That will require an antenna. Going to HDTV is the single biggest improvement you can do the the video system after getting an HDTV set. | |
| it sounds different... The inputs are probably set at different levels. Like calibrating the speakers, you should be able to increase/decrease the level coming from each of the inputs.The VCR input is probably matched to give the same dialog volume as the CDP. Of course... | |
| Best HT System with Projection Screen for $14,000 You could save some $$ from getting a Da-Lite screen instead of a Stewart. As for a projector, an NEC XG-135LC or XG-110LC would be a good bet at the $3500-4500 price range. If you want a really big screen, though, you will have to go with a digit... | |
| Surround processor recommendations What is up with the Adcom comments? While I am not familiar with the GTP-7xx series, I have had a GTP-860 here for a short time (it went into my friend's aunt's home) and GTP-880. I just got in the GTP-880 and it replaced my Parasound AVC-2500u. I... |
