 Hello everyone!
I just registered with HTS yesterday. I've had an interest in home theatre since the mid 80's. I actually purchased my first projector a Sony Vidi Magic back in 1986 if memory serves me right and my interest in good audio goes way back to the early 1970's. I guess that makes me a bit of a fossil; nonetheless I look forward to seeing what many of you have to say regarding some of the new a/v equipment that is beginning to become available. I find that 1080p projection is now quite affordable as are some of the new a/v hdmi switching receivers that are finding there way to the market. In particular the Panasonic PT AE 2000 and the new Epson UB projectors are really interesting (which one is better?). Well that's it for now.
Cheers,

Welcome Scrooge!
Pls open a new thread at the projector's forum and you'll sure find advice! For now I can tell you the Panny is more suitable and cost effective if you would need the anamorphic stretch feature through HDMI. The UB will do VS for 480p output only and doesn't support it through HDMI. It would be my choice if VS is not needed or if you have a DVD player that will do the VS (Samsung...), as for PQ it has some advantages compared to the Panny, but it is also more expensive!
