Surround Sound Electronics

Sales Rep told me that it gives more quality output, is that true? and How to identify the given cable as oxy cable?

I think this cable is specially made by which it prevents oxydization itself.
The wire is specially plated with a thin layer of gold, which prevents corrosion.
At the new position, every wire is not corpode, so they provide well conductivity but as they grow older, they get corrode. But oxy cables are not the usual.
I have no ideas how to identify them except the company or agency provide stamps on package.

Not as long as people date.

okay i have…
an xbox 360 elite,
samsung hdtv,
and a 5.1CH blu ray home theatre system from samsung. (model- HT-BD3252)

How do I set up my 360 to my home theater system and tv in the best quality possible?

I looks like your system processes HDMI audio and video, so just attach the 360 into the receiver with HDMI and then run another HDMI from the receiver into your tv’s HDMI in and choose the HDMI input where you plug it from your tv’s source selector button.

I want to get a surround sound system for my TV. My room isn’t made for home theater and its a medium sized living room (around 21 feet in length and 17.5 feet width – facing the TV). My TV is a 52" and I prefer the brand Bose. Please give me a link to the product, also budget doesn’t really matter for me.

Thanks you guys.

Agree with the other posters; Bose is overpriced and underperforming. Seriously though, why on earth do you prefer Bose??? Have you seen the components in those multi-thousand-dollar Lifestyle systems? Some of them are worse than my old cheapo computer speakers!!!

Need good quality 7.1 surround sound system
£250 – £750

What is your budget? There’s no way to answer this question without knowing how much you are willing to spend.

Update:
For that price range, you may be happier with a good 5.1 system. Most Blu-ray movies still aren’t recorded in 7.1 even though the capability is there. Plus with 7.1, you need to have a big enough room that your rear speakers are at least a few feet behind your listening position, or the effects won’t sound right. Doing a quick search I came up with this:

I don’t really know much about prices and dealers in the UK, so you might be able to find a better deal if you look around.

When looking for receivers, I’d recommend whatever you can find from Onkyo that’s in your price range (also try used or refurb). Anything from Denon, Yamaha, or Pioneer will also be good. Stay away from Bose (over priced and under performing), Sony (great TVs, horrible audio), or any of the small "home theater in a box" setups.

For speakers, try KEF, Mordaunt Short, or American brands like B&W, JBL, Infinity or Canadian brands like Paradigm or PSB (I don’t know what you’ll be able to find in the UK).

Try to spend a little more than half of your budget on the speakers.

I want to get a cheap 7.1 speaker system with a receiver that is good. Any suggestions? Links would be helpful as well as reviews.

Go to Fry’s Electronics and look up the Onkyo HT-S5200 system a 7.1 receiver and 7.1 speaker set up for $500.

My girlfriend has had 3 nokia 5800s in 3 days, shes about to take it back for the 4th time. When she talks on the phone in her car on loud speaker everyone has trouble hearing here??
Has anyone had this trouble?

none… maybe it is really defective…

I have dish network, and have a new vizio LCD tv with a RCA home theater system hooked up to the tv. The back of the theater system has an optical audio cable input along with the tv but the satellite receiver does not.

Connect composite cables ( red & white ) from satellite receiver to Theater system for audio.

Is it possible to connect the AV cord of Home theatre or DVD Player to PC so that video signals of the player may be viewed on the computer moniter? Do modern Mother boards have TV Tuner Cards in them?

Yes, but more so… Video cards and Video capture cards.

I’m not an expert on video capture. I’m better at PC to home theater transfer not vise versa.

However it is very possible and I’m sure people below me will explain.

Good luck

More (home theater questions)? Just e-mail me. I have owned a home theater business.

I have $200 5.1 Dolby Digital surround sound headphones and I dropped them and the right ear’s sound is messed up, but the left one is fine. How can I get them fixed? I called a computer shop and they said they don’t do that.

Buy a new one, it’s not worth fixing. The repair cost is probobly more than buying a new one. Parts are inexpensive and labor is the most expensive.
