Home Theater
redsoxbebe asked:


My boyfriend just bought a plasma TV and I’d like to buy him an home theater system but I don’t have a clue where to begin. I’ve been trying to research online but it seems like there’s so many details to figure out - how many watts do I need, do I need a new DVD player with it, do I want to buy it piece by piece or HTIB? Ahhh. I’d like to spend somewhere around $200, max $300 but I don’t know if this is realistic for a good system and don’t want to get him a cruddy one just for the sake of getting one. I know he’s really interested in the ones that have a rear wireless speaker - and I don’t know too much more than that. Anyone knowledgeable out there with some good recommendations, a place I should begin my research or willing to have some dialouge with me about the best systems and what I should look for? I think I’ll eventually go to CC or BB but I’d like to be armed with some info first. Thanks ahead of time for your help!

Dude in Montreal asked:


My PS3 is connected to the home theater via optical therefore everytime I want to play with the audio on I have to turn on the home theater which is somewhat annoying. Is there a way to get regular sound from the TV when the Home Theater is off? The PS3 Output Settings option only allows me to choose ONE connector. Thanks in advance.

Im new to all this home theater stuff, and I need to know what to buy, to have a small home theater. I have the projector, so thats off the list. I have no clue what to buy for a mini home theater. I here people talking about HDMI, HDTV, and Recievers. But I dont know what that stuff is. I also need help with buying the correct cables and setting it up.
