Before you go out and buy new speakers identify whether or not you have room reflection problems. 1st and 2nd order relections can make poorly treated rooms sound "harsh". Having reflective surfaces along side walls, little upholstered furniture, and even hard floors could all be areas of...

I'm in the Dallas area as well and only about 35 miles from your location. Anyway I use a uhf antenna inside my attic, and i have no trouble receiving the four main networks, plus i get many others...wb, pax, independents etc... You should be closer to sherman/denison transmitters as well so you...

Here we go again with he Sony bashing. There ES receivers of a couple of years ago were the heaviest models in their class. That may have changed with their new digital amp designs, don't know. The tumer section is typically louder on nearly every receiver I've ever listened to, not a big...

I didn't mean that you shouldn't ask. Just that other people have had the same problem, so you shouldn't feel bad about it. It's something that DVD players mfg. should consider defaulting to on rather than off.

I don't like he idea of speakers not being timbre matched. (particularly in the high mids). If your speakers are so old that that is an impossibility, all I can suggest is to audition some and see what integrates best with your current setup. See if your local dealers will allow you to audition...

1. No one with a credit limit ever told themselves that they don't have money. 2. If time keeps changing, so will your system. 3. If you can't tell the difference between product A and Product B, then find out why before you buy either. 4. Buying something on sale has never saved anyone...

Rob I would agree with you about the commercial viewing to a certain extint as it exists today. If you'll harken back to the late 70's with me for a moment you may recall that when VCRs first became available, the movie industry was in an uproar and so much so that many people may have...

Before anyone gets too concerned about their set being able to handle 1080p, remember that the improvement from 480p to 720p/1080i with movies will be pretty considerable. It will be better than 95% or more of all movie theaters out there. Besides. it is something to look forward to and enjoy...

It may have to do with the speaker levels of the center channel and mains being different in each of your systems. Have either you or your friend calibrated the channel levels of your system within 1 db or so? Also as suggested room acoustics, speaker differences, and various other receiver...

As a person involved in broadcasting as a career, I would guess this is certainly the future of television. I can't say how long it will take, but "If you can advertise on it, they will come"

Here is a nice place to find out how to access easter eggs from many, many films. Easter Eggs

Yep when they say "mains" they are refering to your front left and right speakers. One other suggestion you might consider is to buy speakers which can be biamped. Speakers which can be biamped allow for two seperate amps to be connected to one speaker simultaneously, one to power the...

Composite video cables, which are 75 ohm, are substituted for digital coax quite frequently. The problem with typical CATV coax though, is usually the flexibilty of the cable, since it has a solid core. This can make it a pain to use in the manner you speak of but should work fine if that isn't...

I would be more concerned with pairing your speakers to your room. Pairing it with your reciever is secondary. The room is where you should first look when making speaker selections. Mainly the size and acoustic properties ( lively, neutral, dead). A large room might require a larger, more...

I would agree it sounds like you need to enable dts from within the setup menus of the dvd player, otherwise it won't output the dts signal even when you've selected it from the audio options on a dvd. Seems this is becoming a common mistake as this is about the 3rd time I've seen this...

Though they may noy output using component, I would hope they would. At the very least they should use it to send ED (480p) signals so your older HD sets would not become obsolete.
