Q. Anyone know where to look to find information on making a home theatre with a good sound system? I'm looking at a budget of 5-7K including a 50 inch LCD. In ceiling speakers for the front two. Any direction appreciated. Thx.
A. Jefferson you already went $3,000 over budget & you forgot the 50 inch LCD.
Plus the two front speakers are suppose to be in ceiling speakers.
And those $600 Denon DRA-697CI receivers are putting out way too much distortion.
100 watts x 2 into 8 ohms (20-20,000 Hz) at 0.08% THD
http://www.crutchfield.com/S-4XYgTCJKWWW/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?search=Denon+DRA%2D697ci&i=033DRA697C
Now compare that to the $500 Yamaha RX-797 receiver.
100 watts x 2 into 8 ohms (20-20,000 Hz) at 0.019% THD

One fourth the distortion for 30% less money

"It is believed that the more expensive the 'gear' the better overall performance of the Theatre. To many people, retail dealers included, rely too much on the higher performance (higher cost) of the equipment to promote high end results, when lower cost (less performance) systems properly setup and calibrated to the environment can perform just as well. Whether your preference is for a Large Screen Rear Projection TV (RPTV), the latest in Flat Panel or Front Projection systems or even just a plain old tube TV a solution is there. A Home Theatre can be no more than adding a good, cost-effective surround sound system to the Family Room TV or to the ultimate high-end theme theatre that spares no expense � or somewhere in between"

What is the Samsung Touch of Color on the LCD TVs?
Q. I have the Samsung LN55C630 Series 6 55" Class ToC LCD 1080P HDTV but I don't notice the touch of color working. I read on a forum that it needs more light to work so I turned on more light but I still don't see it. Does it work only with sunlight reflections and is the Touch of Color a actual light or LED or just a special built in reflector?
A. "Touch of Color" just means that the TV has a reddish tinge on the unit. It is not a back-light, it is simply the color of the unit. And the red part is only about a quarter inch thick at the bottom of the unit just under the screen.
You will only notice it if light it directly on it, to see it just point a flashlight directly at the bottom of the unit. Take a look at this Tv http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31mvqA0KEUL.jpg It's a different model but its the same idea, there is a reddish tinge of color at the bottom of the unit.
