Home Theater Questions

[switchback]

Just got a 42" flat screen and am looking at home theater systems. Who's got a wireless system and how do you like it? Product rec's? Don't want to run wires all through the house. Was looking at the SONY DAVHDX279W.
Thanks!

I believe you still have to plug something into an AC outlet..(speakers_) .Check it out, I looked at these about a year ago...G/F just put a Sharp 37D64U in her bedroom...Sweet tv!

I got a wireless and new tv in November and really love it. Been wanting wireless for a while.

Front speakers, center, and sub all wire as usual.
Rear has a controller/amp that plugs into the wall and the two rear speaker plug into the controller/amp.

Works perfectly for me since the wire from one side speaker just runs under the couch.

Recap... rear speaker have wires, but they don't run to the front, just to a small box/amp that sits on the floor by the rear speakers .

The speaker sound great (they are same speakers as the front) and plenty of power.

Good luck

My surround is a Samsung.

Thanks Kong. Those were the setups I was looking at.


Rubberdown. Your g/f does have a sweet TV in her bedroom. We enjoyed a little Jenna on just the other day

If you plan on doing HD DVD's, ie. Blu-Ray, you will want a receiver that can decode both Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD.

LMFAO! Watching a movie for 15-20 seconds, isn't going to give you a real good perspective on how good the tv really is Switch!

I went with wired rear speakers but ran the wire up through the wall and across the attic. Speakers are flush mounted in the ceiling. It sounds awesome.

I was toying with that idea or installing speaker outlets in the ceiling.


Yo Chubby-watched it for 20 seconds or so but it was background noise for the next hr

Most wireless systems are inferior in sound quality etc. That said get whatever sounds good to you, has the options you want and the price is right.

I wanted a wireless sytem for same reasons, not wanting to to run wires. Found that they all sucked compared to speakers you have wired up so I went the traditional way and got creative with my wiring (& hiding of).

Carguy, was assuming the sound would be inferior. Sounds like I should just quit whining, get the fish tape and get to work. First, I'll start with a cold one Proper planning is key~LOL!
