Sean Gilbride:Consider this, the next "next" gen consoles (PS4 / Xbox 720) are, according Sony/MS not going to use physical media. Trust me, the days of "physical" media are limited.

   Looking to upgrade my surround sound for my 60'' Sony HDTV! Currently have and Onkyo HT-R500 reciever and the surround sound and bass module from Onkyo. Thought about buying from Bose, but after reading all the great reviews on Aperion speakers, I'm leaning towards them. I won't be able to buy all the speakers at once due to budget ...

Hi everyone-- I know the ''what receiver should I buy'' threads are becoming redundant, but please forgive me as my question is a bit specific.

Hello all. I just installed a new pair of 422-LRs as my front pair in my home theater setup. The remainder of the system is a middle of the line best buy purchased system. I'm in the process of upgrading on a per-set basis as my budget allows. First off, let me say I am VERY impressed with the packaging, build quality, and overall solid feel of ...

I have a (15(?) year-old pair of American Acoustics bookshelf speakers being used as stereo speakers in a second room off my Sony STR-DA4ES receiver. This is a larger room, 15x20 with a peaked ceiling that starts at about 8.5 feet and runs to about 12 feet high. The speakers are on the long wall. On the left is an 8' by 7' opening to the living ...

Hey Matt, you mentioned starting another thread about upscaling to 720p/1080i via HDMI. To answer your question, yes I do upscale pretty much everything to 720p. As you know, I've got the DVD-3910, it runs HDMI out to a Sony KDF55WF955 (Grand Wega IV RPTV). I was FORCED to compare the output with HDMI to output with component, as the HDMI ...
