| New member from Vancouver 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, $crooge | |||

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!

| Re: New member from Vancouver Hi Sonnie, I've been reading some of the reviews on the Panny 2000 here at the shack and they all seem to be very positive. I did come across some negative reviews on several other sites but most have been positive. Sound like you are very pleased with yours. I am using an Onkyo TX DS 797 THX certified a/v receiver which puts out pretty decent sound. However it doesn't have hdmi switching which handles a+v; that said what would be the bestway to use this older receiver to deliver the best audio for my home theater? I'm thinking optical but not sure! Thanks for the input $crooge | |||
