I am new to the site, and this is my first post on HTS. So thanks in advance for any and all feedback, My apologies if this is not the right area to post this topic. I would like to conceptualize a 7.1.4 setup. However, I am on a budget. It's not crazy-restrictive, but it's not a free-for-all...

I plan on going 4.00 cf gross for the pyle sub sealed this gives it a center frequency of about 35 hz and a -3 at 27 hz. We could even stuff it for an even lower center frequency and lower qtc than 1.10. The subwoofer is dual 4 ohm so we would need a amp at 200 rms at 8 ohms. Any suggestions...

Hi everybody, Thank you for having me. I just purchased a new Samsung home theater HT-J5530, and I managed to install it successfully, I think. I tested by watching a blue ray DVD, and the sound is great, however when I was trying to watch Netflix or YouTube on it, the sound comes muffled and I...

Hello everyone. I'm in the process of building a home and want to add a theater room. I talked to the Magnolia guys at Best Buy and they gave me list of audio/video components to buy that are within my budget. I plan on mostly using the room dark and watching movies, but may also use it with...

hello all, I apologize in advance... this is another one of those "what system should I get" threads. I've read a bit here and a few other places, but am really a noob when it comes to these things. Well, I guess that is not entirely accurate, been around HT for some time... hooked some up...

I am new here and am looking for potential help with my system. I have some no signal issues with my projector setup. I have an InFocus X10 projector. It is connected to an Onkyo TX-NR606. The HDMI run is about 30 feet and is behind walls. I also have a DirecTV reciever, Roku and a Sony...

To be honest, I'm leaning more on the TV as I also want the room to be a daytime entertainment area where my kids can hang out and watch their kids show. I'm well aware that the projector needs complete darkness and only suitable for movie watching which is kind of a downer for me. Also the...

Hello, Home Theater Shack forum members! I’m an (almost) 40 year veteran in the home theater field. I worked retail and can well remember the introduction of every important new technology from Hi-Fi VCRs to LaserDisc players, Dolby Pro-Logic and Dolby Digital, 1080P HD video, and everything...

Do you need a receiver to get 7.2 sound or does a computer exist with 7.2 sound capability? Thanks for any help you can provide

First of all, I am a newbie in AVS. I know very little about amp selection. The HT-E5550WK Samsung Bluray disc player of my theater system has stopped working. Since I don't watch movies from disc anymore (I watch from a TV box nowadays), I would prefer to get a new amps with HDMI in/output...

Hello HTS, I've been scouring the internet the past couple of weeks reading reviews and forums to learn about the best budget audio options to build my first home theater. I'm hoping to hear back from experienced HTS members about what I have come up with so far and if it can be improved in...

So I’m probably making this out to be way more complicated then it should be but here’s my issue.... so I got a new home theater (Sony strdh590) and I’m only hooking up cable box and surround sound speakers. Here’s my issue.... I could go with the hdmi arc and everything work great.... but I...

We are closing on our new house in Mexico on Friday. Our living room will become our new Home Theater/Stereo (No dedicated room this time). The room is 19' wide with a 30' boveda ceiling, and is approximately 20' from the loft to the windows/doors. The distance from the bar to the windows is...

Hello. I have a yamaha theater system model # htr-5830. I had it since 2007, but I just noticed this problem today when I watch TV or DVDs thru it the volume has to be at -7 to 0 to hear anything. however when listening to a CD or MP3, or the am/fm or XM radio thru it -26 is loud enough...

Hi Everybody, I've got my newbie five posts done, I've uploaded some photos to the gallery... so I thought I had better let everyone know to take a look. This is a screenshot of the Cars DVD. This was actually projected using our old Sony VPL-W400Q 480i projector. The screen is a 130" OZTS...

Please take a look at our new theater we are building: The stained Knotty Alder is not as glossy as it looks in the photos. Finish is much better than it looks in the flash photos, Also have something on my Camera lens causing spots all over. The Screen Will probably be a DIY paint type...

Hello, I recently converted my garage into a home theater. The room is roughly 15' x 13.5', so it is relatively square. My current plans for this room are kind of multi-purpose. I installed a laminate hardwood floor and a acoustic drop ceiling and the projector is mounted directly under the...
