home theater

I recently started looking for a Home theatre between a budget of 18-35k. I am a music lover but not an audiophile. Since I like watching movies, I wanted to try if the effects of home theatre a really amazing. I will be installing it in a 14*12 ft room. Moreover, I like to listen songs a lot...

I am trying to purchase my first projector. We have a dedicated room with no windows. I have been dreaming about the LG HU80KA. I just measured my wall for a 150" screen. Oh...my... That's so big. I don't think I realized. I'm wondering if there are resources for how far away to sit and how far...

I'm setting up a 2.1 stereo system with my Roku and tv and have some questions about audio downmixing to stereo. This is a good small music system I'm also using to watch TV and movies. I'm looking for help understanding how downmixing to 2 channel stereo for my system works. I understand a 2...

Hi Thanks for the forum, I have been lurking around and learning many new things. For Christmas we are replacing a serviceable but unremarkable JVC dvd theater-in-a-box 5.1 system. It has done its job, but now time for retirement. I already have purchased an entirely new set up, and most of it...

In the past I have seen photos with all sorts of plaques that say, " This Theater Features". But what I am actually looking for and what I am hoping for are links to places that sell these plaques! I would love to have some that say 4K Theater, Marantz, Dolby Atmos, DTS;X, Auro 3D, Sony OLED...

Question for Home Theater experts Trying to trouble shoot a muffled sound coming from my home-theater set up. (I haven't changed any settings in 4 years). Sony receiver, polk-audio 5.1 surround. U-verse box is connected component to the TV then component out to the receiver and the optical...

Hi there! I'm brand new here and looking for a bit of experience in putting together a future home theater. I'm selling my current house and buying one this spring...an amazing basement is on my MUST HAVE list because I would love to have a great space to entertain and have my home theater. I...

Amateur alert........Just bought the Panamax 5300 to protect $8000 worth of equipment but I over looked something. This unit has a 15 amp circuit on that back that trips if it goes over. My whole basement (including the cave) is wired to a 20 amp circuit. So does this mean I can’t hook this up...

Hello-, First timer here and yes, I signed up just to ask a question. If I can contribute in any small way I will, but my ignorance is what brought me here, so you've been warned! ;) We just bought a house and the living room is equipped with some speakers mounted in/on the walls, I believe...

Howdy. New to this forum. Looks like a great resource with lots of helpful folks. Pardon the lengthy intro, but I figure it will save some Q&A to get helpful feedback. I'm not new to home theater. Have built 5.1 and 7.1 setups in previous homes. Building a new home, and I have a blank...

I am a new home theater enthusiast and this may seem like a silly question, but I recently acquired four Sonance Professional Series PS-P83T pendant speakers. They are primarily used for commercial use. They are 70V/100V/ with an 8 Ohm bypass. Would I be able to use these speakers as overhead...

Hello, This is Apoorva from Mumbai, India. I have Harman/Kardon Home Theatre in my house. The setup is of Harman Kardon AVR 1700 Amplifier + HKTS 9 5.1 Speakers (2 Rear + 2 Front + 1 Center + 1 Woofer) – All images enclosed. Now, the AVR 1700 has died and the cost of repair is approx Rs...

Hi Home Theater Forum community, In case anybody is interested in an excellent home theater projector system... I need to liquidate my great setup which I have been enjoying every now and then for the past 2 years. This setup was purchased at Best Buy/Magnolia in Union Square NYC. I need to...

I've had my VMPS main speakers for almost 24 years. The front baffles are 3 inches thick. The overall weight is 350 lbs. The woofers are made of carbon fiber. The bass is rated to be down 3 dB at 14 Hz. In short, the build quality is much better than the typical speaker, more typical of very...

Hi all. I went on vacation and came back to receiver issues. Joy. On Thursday night, I was watching a movie without any issues, but when I got back on Tuesday, no video (audio works fine). I don't even have the main menu from the receiver. Just my TV's "no signal" message. I've unplugged...

Sorry for the cross-posting, this was in the New Members forum too. I’m building a new HT from the ground up, although I still have most of my old gear, which consists of: Onkyo TX-SR 876 receiver Paradigm sub Paradigm middle channels PSB Image center chamber and rear surrounds. (I gave away...

I wish my audiences (and viewing space) could be bigger, but I am starting to have great fun planning interesting double-features for the few who attend. For many years I have thought it would be amazing to be a programmer for, say, TCM -- those people must feel they're stealing their salaries...

I just finished watching SUMMERTIME (David Lean, 1955, with Katherine Hepburn and Rossano Brazzi) on a German Region B Blu-ray from Concorde, and was excited about how beautiful the film is. I'd seen it before, but the color and clarity of this disc made the experience very new and really...

Yesterday afternoon, the UPS man brought me the brand new Oculus Go. I'm not a gaming person at all, and I've never had a chance to play with VR. My interest is in movies and music. I have a screening room in my home with a HD projection system, surround sound and a ten foot screen. Watching...

Hello all, I'm not sure if this is the best place for this, but as the livechat with fellow newegg users is no longer in service (No idea when that happened), I've been having trouble getting a solid answer. I moved into my apartment and found that there are speakers on every floor. I would...

Hi Forum Members, I'm in the home stretches of my home theater and need help choosing equipment. I have gotten past the stage of the build process and I took into account as much as I could based on these forums in the design and build. Things incorporated. 1. Separate air return and vent for...

I am very happy to own a Paradigm Home Theater System (CT100) with Denon AVR X-520BT. The usage is 50% Music, 25% Music Concerts/Videos & 25% Movies. I am planning to upgrade only the Front Speakers to Bookshelf or even Floor Standing Speakers as long as I dont have to change the AVR since the...

First of all I need to put out the fact that I live in a mobile home currently and that this is my first home theater setup. I am purchasing a Sony 930E 65" or 55" depending on space and total cost. The plan is to go 5.0 or 5.1 using: Definitive Technology BP 9020 Towers, Definitive...
