Floorplan of the room you plan to use Ta Re: Ask your Home Theatre questions here... 249Jan 07, 2010 11:25 am scott_tanya Again sonos is the answer (my system works brilliantly...i love 3 zones at present) http://www.sonos.com/experience/ I have to make one point here: I've seen a cordless phone bring a Sonos system to it's knees (same wireless frequency/band), and the issue was only resolved by resetting the Sonos ZP100s. It certainly woudln't have happened with a wired system (just food for thought)...

I have everything hooked up with HDMI cables, when I am playing movies the screen will black out for a second then go back to normal picture , Why is this happening is there a fault with the player or my set up. Tried different set ups like going straight HDMI from projector to player and still doing it. I'm very angry because I want answers and nobody can give me an answer!!!!!

It sounds like it could be the player. If you've tried a few things and still no joy then I reckon you need to take it back to the shop and get them to prove that the player is fine.

Don't know if you've tried this one either but I have a Sony BRP and it too had similar problems until a friend told me to download the latest updates from Sony, burn them to disc and follow the instructions. The player has worked a treat ever since and I continuously monitor the site for updates. It's something we all tend to forget to do and it includes set-top boxes and the like as well. Thanks for listening.

Has anyone had any experience with Harmon Kardon speakers / amps? And how would you rate them? I listened to a set the other night and was pleased with them, but they do come in lower on the $$ than other brands, does that indicate that I just don't have an ear for these things and the are POS? Re: Ask your Home Theatre questions here... 256Jan 11, 2010 11:39 am Some of the H/K electronics can be quite good indeed. They tend to be cheaper because they don't put as many bells and whistles into the product as others, and because they spec their amps realistically rather than some overpriced pseudo-megawatt monster. Speakers I've had no experience with. Re: Ask your Home Theatre questions here... 258Jan 11, 2010 4:15 pm I've had the opportunity to listen to a set of HK speakers and for their price they sounded quiet good. Their overall dynamics did sound a little tight and it would be nice to hear them after a couple hundred hours of listening to loosen them up but not bad at all. If you intend to buy a set, make sure you test them with the AVR you intend to use with it just to make sure it still enthrawls you as when you listened to them the first time. If so, then buy them.

After going through this forum and surfing the net. I have narrowed down my selection of home theatre projector. My HT size is 4.420W x 4.120L I did a calculation if 120 inch screen is good for that room size. And it was within requirements. Is 120 inch screen too big ? or should i just go for 100 inch screen. I've narrowed down based on feedback of projectors. Pls if anyone can advice which has the longest bulb life. On the bottom selected full HD projectors. Ive got other infos of the projectors below but not the bulb life. 1) Panasonic PT-AE4000E 2) Epson EMP - TW3500 3) BenQ W1000 DLP 4) Sony Cineza VPLHW15 All the above - throw distance is within my room size or more. Hope you guys can help me decide. thanks Re: Ask your Home Theatre questions here... 260Jan 12, 2010 7:18 am Hey waranraz, I'd done all the calculations for my room just as you had, and I think it told me a 95" screen is what I should shoot for (in a 4.5 x 3.5 room). Then just yesterday I sat with a neighbor and watched his 120" screen in the same sized room! I don't think I'll go that big but it was VERY nice, and very watchable despite what the calculators will tell you. I think its one of those things you have to trek around and see something comparable in the flesh. Ardo That is so funny! I wonder how many people know who Larry Haun is these days.
