Building a Home Theater, Suggestions?
So I am looking to build my first really home theater and I am really looking for a good system, but do to some restriction by my girlfriend I am looking for a compact size system. I have done some research and am stuck between the Mirage Nanosat System and Sub or the Boston Acoustic Soundware XS (which unfortunately BBY does not sell the Soundware XS). I also have no idea what receivers would be recommended for either of these, from what I had read the Boston Acoustic pair great with Denon so I was checking out the Denon 1611. I also had my eyes on the Yamaha A700.
I hope you awesome people out there can give me some suggestion or point me in the right direction.
Thanks!

Without having personal experience with that Boston Acoutic set, I cannot give an opinion based upon that. However, the Mirage nanosat set is great, 5.0 system for about $600 is a good deal, especially since the speakers are omni-directional. Omni-directional is great for more open rooms, as the speakers distribute the sound 360 degress rather than in a forward arc. Even turning the speakers backwards they still sound the same.
Another option is the Definitive Technology PC600 5.1 System. A great full 5.1 system for $800 using small compact speakers with a full range of sound. Each speaker has a tweeter, a mid-range, as well as a small woofer giving you a full sound from each speaker. I would recommend heading into your local Best Buy with a Magnolia demo room to hear the Mirage Speakers as well as the PC600 set.
For either system the Denon 1611, or 1911 would be perfect.
The mirage set will be close to $1,500 or so, the Definitive set will put you about $1,300.
Hope that helps out a little bit, however I'm sure mustang will have some other great options.

How much do you care about sound quality in your Home Theater?
Many people sweat over the smallest details when getting a video device (TV, projector), but do not think much about the integration of a sound system in their room. Too many people think that a large TV with an off the shelf sound system will make a great home theater system. Unfortunately, many stores can't even demonstrate the integration of video and audio as evidenced by the huge wall of TVs and a small section devoted to surround sound systems. How is a consumer to build a home theater if you can't hear and see what is possible.
So my question is, how much do you care about sound quality and what have you done to get the most out of your system? For instance: Have you applied sound absorption materials to your walls, have you sweated speaker placement, have you plotted your room's anti-nodes, have you controlled your light levels, have you calibrated your speakers, etc.
Believe it or not, your room's acoustics and the proper type of audio equipment and speakers play a much LARGER part in your enjoyment of anything that you watch. You just can't throw some speakers into a room wherever you want and expect to have an engrossing experience.
The reason I ask is that I don't believe that many people care about sound quality since a large percentage of the population think that portable digital audio players sound fine. I would like to be proven wrong. My other goal is to raise everyone's awareness that you need to think about more than just a large TV in order to build your home theater.
I do not work for Best Buy and am not affiliated with them in any way. I like HT and want to help people improve their HT experience. "There is a LOT more than just having a TV to make a home theater"It really depends - I am working since the last 2 years on an very large Applet (~650 classes / 1.5mb classes) which had design-time comptibility with MSJVM and Netscape-1.1.5.
Now 2 years later the applet is still not finished although I am pretty sure we would already be shipping if only our managers would not had been that stupid to decide 2 years back to support obsolte jvms.
Since Netscape-4.x is dead and MSJVM useage really decreases dramatically (I guess it won't play a role in 2-3 years) I only can recommend to not target to the msjvm any more.
its really ugly and its buggy, whereever you look bugs, bugs, bugs.

Received apple tv as gift, my tv/home theater situation has no HDMI input capabilities. My only option is an optical connection, please give me some inexpensive optical cable suggestions???
Welcome to the Apple Community.
HDMI is required to connect the Apple TV to a TV or through a receiver. The optical connection is for audio only. -
I want a soundbar for my 6th generation nano but am having trouble finding a compatible device. I'd like more than a dock, ideally a soundbar with wireless subwoofer. I'll only use the soundbar for music, not TV home theater. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Any suggestions for building a home network (in a modest...
Any suggestions for building a home network (in a modest 1600 sq. ft. home) with the following requirements...
1) Laptop(s) and PC share broadband (cable) internet connection
2) Access files on PC from laptop(s) and vice versa
3) PC and laptop(s) share printer (Canon Pixma 610)
4) Send media on PC to TV
5) Send music to wireless speakers (not purchased yet)
Note hardware specs:
A) One laptop runs on Windows XP and has an Intel PRO wireless 2915ABG network connection
B) PC runs Windows XP Media Center
I was thinking about the wireless N broadband router 300. From the experiences of the community, will I be able to achieve my goal? Beside a PC adapter, is there any other hardware I will need?
A couple other questions.
The router will likely be sitting right next to my PC. Does the PC need to have a wireless adapter or can it be wired from the router to the PC?
When will the media extender be available? Will it work with Windows XP?
Thank you.
ChrisI personally might not buy Wireless-N, but the idea of being on the bleeding edge is nice.
Anyway, whichever router you choose, you should be able to accomplish almost everything you need.
You'll be able to share your internet amongst all of the computers, and share files between them all. Local firewalls and permission settings on individual computers could potentially pose a problem.
Sending media to your TV may or may not be possible, depending on what other hardware you have. A router itself would not be able to do that, as a TV doesn't usually have any form of WiFi, but if you had a box connected to it for displaying content on the TV, you could do something like that...
Wireless speakers are generally a separate wireless system. As far as I know, there is a wireless transmitter that sits next to the amp (or other sound source), and broadcasts the music wirelessly to the speakers. You'd have to make sure the speakers and wireless router are on different channels as to not cause interference.
Don't know much about the media extender, but highly likely will be compatible with XP. -
After firmware update ipod touch not working with my Sony Home Theater DAV HDX287WC any suggestions
Is there a solution to play music from my iPod touch on my Sony Home Theater System DAV HDX 287WC after recent firmware/software upgrade? However, I am still able to play music through my ipod classic, but I am really missing the the functionality of the iPod touch with my home theater system.
- Check to see if there is a firmware update for the theater system
Sometimes this works but sometimes an IOS update breaks compatibility.
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Unsync all music and resync
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device. -
Choosing a Budget Home Theater System
I'm looking to add theater sound to my family room, but my budget is pretty tight. I currently have a Panasonic Plasma Screen that is connected to my cable box via HDMI, a Panasonic Blue Ray Player that connects to the tv via HDMI, and an XBox 360 that connects to the tv via component cables.
To be honest, I don't know much about theater systems, and I just want something that is decent sounding with the connections I need. Can someone offer a few suggestions? I see that Best Buy offers a couple systems for around $200, but I'm not sure that'll get me what I need to connect all of my devices.
Thanks.The first step to building a good home theater system(at any budget), is to decide where you will put speakers, and how you will handle wiring.
If your budget is $200, you're almost certainly looking at a modest satellite(small) speaker system. These are typically sold with a built-in DVD. The sound won't be anything speacial, but it will certainly outdo the TV alone.
I suggest investing in an actual surround receiver. Sony isn't known for the greastet sound quality, but there receiver usually pack alot a features for cheap. Yamaha has a some good offerings as well.
The most important part of any home theater system is the speakers. You you're gonna cut corners, do it on receiver, not the speakers. Assuming we spend about $100-$150 on the receiver, you'll need to pony up at least $400 for a decent speaker/powered subwoofer package. Best Buy has a pretty aggressive deal on the Quintet package from Klipsch for the day after Thanksgiving.
Sure you'll spend more money on a setup like this, but the sound and overall usefullness of a real receiver are worth the extra investment.

Hi,
I already have a BD- D6500 blueray player which came with my samsung smart tv D7000. Now, I want to buy a good home theater but it seems all the samsung home theaters come with blueray players. Is there any way I can buy a wireless home theater without a player. My present player supports 3D, Wifi and all that. I welcome any suggestions. Thanks,
JamesI would reccomend a "Build your own" sound system. If you can find a HITB (home theater in a Box) that has a full reciever with speakers that has 3D passthrough, it would be the least expensive option. Denon use to have a good HTIB option. From there if you want to go "wireless" there are universal wireless kits that you can use.
I can go into more detail if you have any specific questions. -
My desktop keeps rebooting ever since I upgraded to Mavericks.
Current setup, Mac Mini hooked up to home theater (Panasonic SC-HTB20) that is then hooked up to my Panasonic Plasma TV.
I usually leave my Mac Mini on running and at least once a day when I turn on the TV I can see that my desktop was rebooted. Firefox and Chrome will say that it wasn't shut down properly and if I want to restore my previous session. Also some times when I switched the input to watch TV and switch back, all my windows will be scattered out of place. For example Chrome will be in the top left hand corner to the point that it's almost minimized and I wouldn't be able to move it as well. Only thing I can do is close out these applications and relaunch them. It doesn't appear that the OS actually crashed, but more like the desktop/finder itself crashed. Cause once in a while I will switch back or turn on the TV and the screen will stay black for a few minutes then I'll see the cursor in the top right hand corner. After that I will start to see the desktop and my application start loading. It doesn't go through the regular process of rebooting where you see the Apple logo so I don't think the OS actually crashed but I could be wrong.
For some reason it seems like Maverick doesn't like the home theater system. An almost guarantee way to reproduce the issue is to wait for the home theater to turn off after it's been inactive for a while. If I turn it on the home theater to have the audio coming from it I will see the desktop goes black immediately then the whole desktop reboot process I mentioned above will kick in.
Never had any of these issues on 10.7 before I upgraded to Maverick.
Anybody have any suggestion? I really don't want to format and downgrade back to 10.7.
ThanksSounds like a kernel panic.
If you post the report we could have a go at deciphering it.
It would be in /Library/Logs/Diagnostic Reports. -
How to connect Apple TV to projector and home theater system?
I have an Optoma HD20 projector that I have a long hdmi cable connected to and plugged that into my Apple TV. I also have an older home theater system that does not have an optical audio input. So I bought an adapter to go from optical audio to RCA cables. When I get it all plugged in and turned on I can't even get the video on my screen. What am I missing?
This is the adapter...
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005F20756Darn. Ok. Then do you have any suggestions for other options to connect the two? My projector is mounted to the middle of the ceiling with a whole for the wires that go along inside the ceiling to the other side of the room.

Connection Error with iPod mini to Bose Home Theater System
When connecting my iPod mini to my Bose Home Theater system, it recognizes that iPod has been connected, but after the "Acquiring Signal" process, it gives me an "iPod connection error. Please re-insert iPod into docking station." I tried several times, but the result is the same.
My iPod mini has been updated with the latest software, and I did a system restore to return everything to factory defaults, but still no luck.
Any suggestions.Hi. What you need to do is Launch DVD Player. Go to Preferences. Select Disc Setup tab. In Audio Output under Audio in the second part of the menu, select Digital Out-Built-in-Output. Then click OK. See if this works, 'cause mine does.

True Rear Wireless Home Theater
My Best Buy tells me there is not a "true" rear wireless home theater system, wire required to the rear unit, then wireless to the speakers. My house is on a slab and there is no way to to get wires to the rear without all exposed. Friend tells me Sony does make such product. I am one that used the Geek Squad to install the Bravia TV, Sony DVD and HD router I guess it is called and was very happy as they were able to do all, floating the TV with no wires exposed. Would like a really nice home theater audio system, willing to spend the bucks but need to do so truly wireless in the rear. Is there a product, preferably Sony, that they sell and could install for me? Thx for any advice you all might have.
IslandlakebakerThx Islandfeverman,
Took your suggestion of the BDV-E770W Blu-Ray and went to Sony direct chat with a techie. This system is NOT truly wireless to the rear speakers but can be!!! Product as is requires cables per the techie to a rear unit. But per her, (Hannah), With the Sony WAHT-SA20 Wireless Surround Amplifier Kit allows rear speakers of "select" S-AIR compatible Home Theater Systems without wires from your integrated DVD/CD receiver. Looked on Sony's web site and this kit is $149.99.
Islandfeverman, can you see why I do not own one as of yet?!!? LOL No dummy here but not a tech guru. Will head to Best Buy tomorrow with the unit you thought looked good and the transcript of the live chat from Sony and see if they think something could be installed that works for me.
I appreciate your reply to me for I knew not where to start as Best Buy told me simply no such thing.
Gratefully,
Islandlakebaker -

I have a Sony HD TV and a Sony STR-DH800 home theater AV receiver. I have a Charter Cable box. I am running an HDMI cable from cable box straight to TV. I am also running a Digital Audio cable from cable box to AV receiver. I am getting sound on regular channels through receiver out of speakers but not on all HD channels. You can hear the background noise but not people speaking. Any suggestions.....I think it is a setting in the sony receiver. Have changed cable boxes with same results.
ThanksTry cable box to the receiver and then from the receiver to the tv, both with hdmi.

How to interface SC-HT800v Panasonic Home Theater with New Samsung LED/LCD 6500 series TV
I don't see how the 14 pin cable coming out of the subwoofer will connect to the new TV or our new Blue Ray player Samsung BD-C5500. We currently have no receiver since that was in the Panasonic VCR/DVD that we have abandoned. Can you confirm this & also offer a suggestion of a new home theater system? Thanks, Susan

Buy a Samsung Home Theater soundbar system. That will fit your needs perfectly not to mention you will be able to control your TV, Blu-Ray, and the sound system with a single remote control.
