Comments: I'm very impressed with your sight - you have obviously put a great deal of effort into this -- well done!
I am an audio/home theatre fanatic. My current system consists of a Chiro C-800 PreAmp/DPL THX surround processor, soon to be upgraded to DTS-Dolby Digital, Chiro C-300 and C-200 Amps, Pioneer CLD-D704 LD player, Meridian 508-20 CD player, B&W 802III main speakers, B&W Matrix HTM center channel, B&W Signature 7 in-walls surrounds, and B&W ASW800 active subwoofer.
Keep up the great work on your web site. I'll be checking in often.

Comments: I love Home Theater! I have a modest system; but one that I'm very happy with. I have about $5,000 invested in the system. Yamaha makes some extremely fine AV Receivers! I currently have the RX-V690. To anyone out there who has not invested in a system yet, I would recommend that you purchase a Yamaha AV Receiver as the heart of your theater. The Pro-Logic Decoding is superb! Of course, you could go digital with the new 3090 :-)
I have Difinitive Technology BP8 Mains, Definitive Technology C1 Center Channel Speaker, Optimus Pro-LX5 Dipole Surrounds, And an Audio Source SW-4 12 inch 150 Watt Active Sub Woofer. For video I have a Sony MDP-455 Laser Disc Player, a Mitsubishi HS-U660 VCR and a Fisher Hi-Fi VCR. For audio, I have a Marantz CD player, a Sony CD player, a Sony Tape Deck, and a Sony Equalizer. For now I'm happy with what I have but I'm eventually going to go Digital. When I do this, I'll buy another pair of Definitve Speakers for my Rear Effects and use my LX-5's for the Front Effects. I'll end now.
PS. I like this site. Chao......

Comments: I am curently an undergraduate in the National University of Singapore. I am in the third year of my Computer Science Course. Not particularly interested in this course, just to get the degree to earn a living and make big bucks, if possible. However, I am very interested in Home Theatre System knowledge, especially I have a set of THX system in my residence. I hope to make the best use and power out of it, so I decided to know about more the setup and do and don'ts about it. Thank You for your precious time and advice.

Comments: Hi Laurent, I spend some early evenings Surfing the Web from work; I don't subscribe from home because I spend enough time - ALL DAY, in fact - answering Technical PC-related questions and by about this tome of night I need to relax ...
... by surfing in from Work. My T.V. and VCR are long-since past their Sell-By date ...
Having listened to a Sony ProLogic TV recently, I have caught the bug and am interested enough to research the matter still further. I am seriously considering purchasing a NICAM Video Recorder WITH ...
EITHER: Dolby ProLogic TV
OR: NICAM T.V. and putting together or purchasing a "Home Theater" as you describe it (or Home Theatre as we spell it - that's a very poor joke!). I currently enjoy quality Hi-Fi and good Stereo Reproduction and would like to have the option of Home Theater in my new flat. My Integrated Stereo Amp - ARCAM Delta 60 - is a few years old, but may still be too good to junk - ARCAM (A&RCAMbridge being a U.K. specialist Hi-Fi Manufacturer that you may or may not have heard of) - but (for the right system) I may have to Trade it in because there may not be enough room to have separate Hi-Fi (Stereo) and Home Theater in the flat !
Anyway, I'm keen to explore you home-page still further, so I'll sign off for now. Have not yet explored the whole of your very interesting HomePage and am learning plenty as I go.
Thanks, Peter

Comments: I am an avid Home Theater enthusiast always looking for new information to improve my total system. I just upgraded my laser disk player to a Dolby Digital (AC3) model. Now I would like to get a Dolby Digital decoder. Thats a big problem as they are still expensive! The other problem is knowing what to buy. I would like a decoder I could connect to my system and not have to get rid of my Yamaha DSP1000. There are a couple of models,1 from Pioneer and 1 from Marantz, that would be nice, so we will have to see how the budget works out. Anyway, if you get to read this and feel like replying that will be nice.

Comments: This is a wonderful home theater page. Lots of good, in depth information on many aspects of the entertainment venue. For anyone who is reading and cares, I personally have to give my support to Yamaha's system, especially their new DSP-A3090 amplifier/tuner. One must hear it to believe it!!!

Comments: Just hungry for information. Have had my Yamaha AC-3 set up for awhile and enjoy it better than the theater. Biggest frustration is all the experts out there telling me what I should have and how I should set things up instead of helping some one get the best possible sound out of what they have.

Comments: I require the best in the presently affordable hometheater sound. THX systems sound far too dead and are way too expensive. AC-3 is far to bright, but split surrounds and discret sub channel is nice. I'm hoping DTS takes off, and that Sony somehow brings SDDS (the best) to home theatre.

Comments: CURRENTLY I HAVE - WHAT I CONSIDER TO BE A RATHER GOOD - HIFI SETUP. OBVIOUSLY BEING A STUDENT I AM ALITTLE SHORT OF CASH SO IT COULD BE SOME WHAT BETTER. ANYWAY I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE TO "GET INTO" HOME THEATRE BUT I DO NOT WISH TO AFFECT THE SOUND OBTAINED FROM A GOOD HIFI SETUP, BUT AT THE SAME TIME IT MUST BE CHEAP. HAVING LOOKED AROUND THE ONLY WAY I CAN SEE TO DO THIS IS A THX SETUP USING SEPARATE PRE/POWER AMPS, BUT THAT'LL BE A TAD EXPENSIVE. I REALISE I COULD GET A DECODER TO USE WITH MY AMP, VIA A TAPE LOOP, HOWEVER TO ME THAT SEEMS RATHER A BAD SOLUTION. DO YOU THINK I SHOULD WAIT UNTIL I CAN AFFORD A THX SETUP OR IS THERE A GOOD DOLBY PRO-LOGIC AMP ON THE MARKET? YOUR WEB PAGE SEEMS QUITE GOOD, BUT BECAUSE OF ALL THE PICTURES IT CAN SOMETIMES TAKE SOME TIME TO LOAD. ONE FINAL QUESTION. DOES THE SHAPE OF A ROOM SERIOUSLY AFFECT THE PERFORMANCE FROM A PRO-LOGIC/THX SETUP? WHAT DO YOU HAVE?
