| Hello from Tampa! I love to tinker! It started with an Eico amplifier kit back in the mid '60s and now I'm a repair technician at a sound and lighting production company. I decided that I had to build a home theater after a short stint as an installer for a local audio visual company. I love movies and being able to watch them uninterupted in your home is where it's at. I've built, bought, and repaired a bunch of equipment over the years and this is my present (always changing) HT set-up: Sony 1272 crt projo (I have 3 more of these for backup parts) Da-lite 100" motorized screen Nec scan converter B&K 5.1 Processor BGW amps Middle atlantic rack JBL speaker system (old school with horns - like in a commercial theater) Dvd, vcr, cable (no Fios yet) for sources. And a table full of remotes ( I have a Pronto 2000 but I have trouble seeing the stupid, blue, dimly lit thing) My latest tinkering is a dedicated PC for testing my sound system using the REW software. I think this is going to be fun! I know I am going to have alot of questions and I hope I can answer some too. Peace, Dave | ||||

| Re: Hello from Tampa! Welcome to the Shack Tinker Dave! I'm a former electronics repair technician myself. Its been awhile since those days of rummaging through stacks of Sams manuals. Those were fun times! In the end I think I was better suited doing installs and teaching the new owners of a Home Theater system how it all works. My Universal Remote class was one I gave countless times, I beleive I have a decent tequnique to bring the layperson up to speed. Wayde | ||||

| Re: Hello from Tampa! Welcome Dave, from a fellow tech, here in Gainesville. Check out the Manufacturer's Service and Support Forum. Any contributions that you can make will be greatly appreciated. Note that we have now begun moving vendors to the new pull down option at the top of the forum pages. You will find it between "Shack Shopping" and "Glossary". This will represent a great improvement in the vendor reference database, making it easier than ever to find what you are looking for. Contact me with any suggested entries, category recommendations, or additional information about the vendors that we have. If you are a vendor and want your company listed, there is an option to provide us with the information. | ||||
