Home Theater

It depends on the transmission type (wired or wireless) and many other factors including transmission power, antenna size, physical barriers, building construction and cable shielding and quality.

In most jurisdictions there is no license required to mount televisions or other objects on walls. However, building codes vary from one to another so it is important to check with your local planning or building control department. It may be the case that wall mounting a television is covered by license codes within general building regulations.

In all cases, whether a license is needed or not, be sure that anyone who mounts equipment on walls is properly qualified to do so. Television are big heavy objects and can cause serious damage and injury if they fall from a mounting at high level. A qualified professional will have not only the experience to mount it safely but also should have insurance to cover possible problems in the future.

If you are looking to employ a professional, don't be afraid to ask how it will be mounted and what measures he will take to ensure it is a safe fixing.

Centre speakers are commonly used as part of a surround sound speaker system. Generally, centre speakers produce quality sound which make the room sound like a cinema.

Multi-Zone in home theater receivers means that the receiver can send a second source signal to a separate audio system or speakers.

it could be like an Oedipus Rex Presentation

First make sure of What you want, then look at the IC. You wiil see the maunfacturer and IC part number on it. Write it down. All of it. Then Google/Froogle it. You WILL find it.

Bose and Overture are two reputable companies that offer home theater systems. Consumer Reports is a wealth of knowledge in comparing the features and prices of individual theater systems.

I, like many others who contribute to WikiAnswers, know a great deal about rear projection television and similar commercial display technologies.

That's answered the question fully so little more can be said. However, specific questions about rear projection equipment, techniques and possibilities will result in far more specific answers. They will be useful in a way that this answer most certainly isn't. We look forward to seeing some more questions about rear projection.

Ideally, the system should have the same brand and model in the surround as the three front speakers .

This model predates online owner's manuals from Sony, so you are unlikely to find it for free from Sony or a dealer. There are several member's only (paid) services online that offer user-scanned manuals.

There is a source in Denmark for the service manual (for repairs). See the link below.

Assuming that the lens is not adjusted, the picture will become smaller as the projector is moved towards the screen. The size of the picture is related quite precisely to the distance, so moving the projector to half the distance will result in an image half the width and half the height. This applies to projectors of all types, not just movie projectors.

Most video and some movie projectors have zoom lenses so the image size can be adjusted without moving the projector. Alternatively, if the projector is moved, the lens can be adjusted to restore the original image size (within certain limits).

No. HDMI cable uses a 19-pin connector for twisted pair connections that carry video, audio and control in digital format.

No. There's no effect from magnetism in an LCD TV.

No, and no.

3D televisions have high speed video image processors to manipulate the incoming signal and generate two separate images. Other televisions simply don't have the processing facility to generate the images.

Active 3D glasses rely on signals from a 3D television to operate so they would not operate at all with a 2D television.

If you don't own a 3D television the only way to watch the latest 3D content is to go visit a friend who does own one.

Virtual surround uses 2 speakers to simulate the effect of a wider stereo image and surround speakers using digital processing. It is not as effective as real surround sound, which uses real rear and surround speakers.

Glasses free 3D is at an experimental stage at present. The few examples are expensive and not impressive quality either. It will improve and the costs will come down in the future but if you are considering 3D television, don't wait for glasses free systems - it will be a long wait for you.

Anyone willing to pay the price you are asking.

A Sony PlayStation 2 and a dish receiver are two video and audio sources, and cannot be directly connected to each other. You can plug both into a television that has multiple video and audio inputs, or connect them to a home theater receiver, and then connect that to your TV.

it has 5 but the .1 channel doesnt count as a speaker because it is a subwoofer

DVI and HDMI cables are similar and compatible for digital video signals. HDMI also carries audio while DVI does not. If a DVI cable, connector or adapter is used anywhere in the signal path, the audio signal will be lost.

As many computers have a DVI output and most televisions have HDMI inputs, it is common to find at least one HDMI input on a television with a linked analog audio input. It is usually a 3.5mm jack socket near the HDMI connector. To make use of it, the television's menu setting allows either HDMI or analog audio to be selected. Consult your television user manual for full details.

Well, surround sound is great with some nice speakers. There are many things for home theater systems. So, try looking on and offline and you will get nice options.

As you know , Medion , makes Tevion , and as you know , there is a lot of activity on the net about this subject. Good luck.

There are several different specifications for HDMI and more will follow in the future. Each of the specifications provide for certain data rates and the higher the data rate, the higher the resolution can be. HDMI cables are also rated for different data rates. However, it is not quite as simple as picking a cable to match the data rate. Cables will attenuate the signals (make them weaker) over a distance. The longer the cable, the more the signal is attenuated. For a long cable, expect the overall diameter to be greater than a short cable as this will help to reduce the attenuation. If the signal attenuation is too great, the image will not be received. For short runs, up to 6 feet or 2 meters, the attenuation is unlikely to be enough to cause a problem, whatever the image resolution might be. The final test is to plug in the cable. If it works, it's good enough. If it doesn't, it's not good enough. It is worth mentioning that both the line driver in the video source and the line receiver at the input play an important part in the signal transmission. A good receiver will cope with a longer cable run than a poor one. To summarize, try the cable. If it displays a signal, then do no more - the cable is good enough.

if I purchased a home theater receiver that has hdmi pass through, and separate audio is needed, what does that mean!!

You need to clarify this a bit. If you are using the manufacturers remote to operate someone else's device then you need to contact the manufacturer of the remote. Example..If you have a Sony TV and the remote will operate any VCR too then you need to contact Sony. There are remotes that will run any device like One For All remotes. This one you can go online and get. Actually most of these can be found at the manufacturers sites if you have internet capabilities to download their manuals .
