    Infocus SP7205 menu

    I have recently purchased a blu-ray player. The video didn't seem to be 1080p, so I pulled out my manual and started going through the menu. For some reason when I look at the Picture menu, everything is grayed out except for the Keystone and Advanced menus. Also, in the advanced menu, only...

    All these beautiful displays

    Molto Bene Uncle Bene The number of hours of TV I watch varies greatly. I love sports - and football is stunning on my 110" screen w/ InFocus SP7205 projector. In the first year, I put 1500 hours on the projector and I'd guess about half of that was HD (the other half being movies). I use...

    7.1/5.1 setup question. Please advise

    I've had my system for almost one year. I have posted my system in other threads, but for convenience, I'll do it again here. Pre/Pro: ATI 8500.1 Amps: ATI 3006 to bi-amp the from 3 ATI 3004 for the 4 surround and rear Display: InFocus SP7205, Da-Lite 110" Cinema...

    Should I get HD?

    I'm not that familiar with your projector. But, my initial reaction is: "Good Lord, YES! Go with HD!" I have the InFocus SP7205 and cable, and in general the digital channels are much better than the rest, but HD is stunning! It's jaw-dropping. Football (sports in general) is...

    XLR Y Cables

    Thanks. Should have made clear. I need 1 Male or 1 Female to 2 Male. I'm trying to run my surround signal to both my surround and rear speakers. Since most (like 99.9%) of my movies are 5.1, the 7.1 setup is wasted. My pre-amp is the ATI 8500.1 and my amps are the ATI3006 (bi-amping the...

    Another projector question

    InFocus is great. Have you had a chance to demo either one of these projectors? I reccomend it if its possible. You can't go wrong with the InFocus. I got the 7205, and couldn't be happier. Movies are great! As a previous poster stated, light control is very important. That's true with...

    Convert composite to component signal

    What do you consider cheap? The monster XGL400 CVAA-10 XBOX Component Video Cable can be had for under $50 typically. Amazon's got it of $40 and change. Here's another xbox component connector even cheaper (though I've never used it): http://www.hdtvsupply.com/mixbcoviauca.html I have...

    Need Input For Dlp Projectors

    I have the InFocus. I love it! I demo'd the BenQ 8700. It's a great projector, too. But, I just like the InFocus a little better. I think the Mitsu is a re-packaged InFocus. Not sure on that though. You probably want to check that info.

    Is there such a thing as a high end boombox?

    I read that Virgin has dropped Virgin Electronics, so if you can find them anywhere, it'll be someplace like eBay.

    Ever heard of this?

    Ati ATI Amps and Pre/Pros are good, solid equipment. At least mine are. You should consider them. When did Klipsch buy JAMO? Shocking!

    Mail in Rebate

    I consider rebates to be like money you find. You know, like I mail in say 20 rebates a year, and maybe 12 - 15 of them actually lead to rebates. When I get the checks I use them like found money. I immediately take the family out to dinner. Or sometimes I stick the smaller checks in my 6...

    Must See Video Clip

    I'm not making any personal attacks. But something bothered in these statements. First of all I'm not homosexual (not that there's anything wrong with that), I have procreated, and I voted for Bush (although I consider myself independent - whatever that means). I don't believe our sole...
