What does everyone have for their hometheater

[Cloud]

What is your home theater setup? I have an old Kenwood Stereo reciever but plan on upgrading too. I also have a toshiba 27" TV which surprisingly has component video input making this a unique television.

Is the Toshiba 61" a 16:9 or 4:3 format television?

Sounds like you have a great setup!

lol comps are my specialty not tvs.. umm its not widescreen. Actually.. when i watch a 16:9 DVD its perfect square, not widescreen. So im gonna say its a 16:9 but im unsure.

Sounds like it is 4:3 not 16:9. Still sounds like a great tv though.

Ok, here is an unusual setup:

TV: (ready?) 1982 RCA console (wooden frame), large screen.
Fantastic picture, this baby will probably never die. Its so outdated the remote only has channel up/down and off.

Receiver: Harman Kardon AVR 125

Speakers: BOSE powered subwoofer and cubes

CD/VCD/DVD/HD: xbox w/remote (I like to minimize the number of components on my TV). Playing video games in 5.1 is a neat experience.

VCR: Hitachi

The BOSE speakers are not the king of the hill, but they do good.


My subwoofer tends to emit a whine when it is not receiving any signal. Anyone have any ideas?

Aha! You are the one that recommended an Xbox for a DVD player aren't you?

Sounds like you have a sweet setup except for the TV. Keep it as an antique and upgrade to a plasma or a big screen man!

Yeah, its actually good for DVDs, but obviously thats not its main focus. The bazillion features that my panasonic has and I never use (like bookmarks and loops and whatnot) are not present. Although it does have good hw zooming and the menus are nice menus. Thats really about it. Bare bones as they say.

The frustrating thing from the home theater point of view is the xbox is a progressive-scan games system, but the DVD mode isn't (for license cost reasons if I remember).

Unfortunately the Xbox does not support Progressive scan DVD playback, otherwise I would recommend it as a good alternative.

OK, here's my setup:

TV: RCA 27" Dark Tube
Reciever: Technics SADA10-N
VCR: Sony SLV-M11HF
DVD: Sony DVP-S570D
CD: Sony CDP-CE315
MiniDisc: Sony MDS-JE320
DSS: EchoStar PVR-501
Front Speakers: Sony SS-MF315
Center Speaker: Sony SS-CN490
Rear Speakers: Sony SS-MB105
Remote: Sony RM-AV2000


I will be upgrading the speakers eventually, and probably also the CD player to a 200-300 disc changer.
