Customer Review: No Audio with HDMI
If you plan on using HDMI with this receiver, you should note that this receiver doesn’t pass the HDMI audio through to the external speakers. I have a Sony 46″ Bravia, a Tivo HD XL, and a Playstation 3 that I connected to the Denon with HDMI. I had to hook up an optical audio cable between the PS3 and the Denon, and RCA cables for the Tivo. When I found out that I can’t get 7.1 with the Tivo set up (because of the RCA analog cables), I returned the unit and bought the SONY STR-DG820. It’s about the same price and does the HMDI audio and video correctly. Also, it’s an easier to use unit.

Customer Review: Great Entry Level Unit
I bought this for the bedroom. My wife wanted something to play music, and I figured I might as well install a 5.1 system. You can’t be Onkyo when it comes to “bang for your buck”. If you don’t attend to add a bluray, this is the unit to buy.
Customer Review: Onkyo Receiver 506
A good choice for my home entertainment center. Zone B or 2 takes a bit of time to get sound and is only analog. The zone A fiber optics digital sound is superb. It’s a lot of receiver for the buck. The price is right.

Motorola DCP501 All-In-One Home Theater Receiver Motorola DCP501 All-In-One Home Theater Receiver Motorola’s DCP501 home-theater system not only simplifies the hookup of everything from cable TV to VCRs and satellite receivers–it also unifies audio and video media playback and amplification within one easy-to-use device. The DCP501 combines the functions of a digital cable receiver, a DVD/CD/MP3 player, a 100-watts-per-channel surround receiver, and an AM/FM stereo receiver. For DVD viewing with immersive, high-quality surround sound, just add speakers and a television. The plug-n-play unit supports Dolby Digital 5.1, DTS, and Pro Logic II surround formats.

For cable reception, the DCP501’s 50 to 860 MHz tuner supports clear analog, 64 and 256 QAM clear and encrypted digital cable services. Where available, the tuner is also compatible with Motorola-enabled digital cable services in both two-way and telephone-return cable systems. (It also supports Motorola DCT2000 digital cable applications.) The receiver’s high-performance, Tripath Class-T audio amplifiers deliver 100 watts to all five main channels (left, center, right, and left/right surround), while built-in preamplifier outputs let you use the device as a preamplifier with a more powerful stereo or multichannel power amplifier.

Extensive inputs and outputs include front-panel audio/video hookups for a camcorder or gaming console, including a Toslink optical input for a direct digital-audio hookup with an external device. Two additional digital-audio inputs are found on the back panel (one each optical and coaxial), and an onboard NTSC decoder uses a digital adaptive comb filter to upconvert all composite-video signals to S-video for use with higher-resolution S-VHS VCRs and compatible TVs.

Crucially, any video input source can be converted and/or channeled to any of the three video outputs for maximum convenience when using the DCP501 with a VCR, DVR (digital video recorder), or other device.

What’s in the Box
DCP501 cable-ready home theater system, a universal remote control, remote batteries, a self-install kit, FM/AM antennas, six-foot composite-video/analog audio interconnect, six-foot S-video cable, six-foot coaxial video cable, and a user’s manual.

    AllerAir 5000 Cutaway HEPA Air Purifier

    AllerAir 5000 Cutaway HEPA Air Purifier AllerAir 5000 Cutaway HEPA Air Purifier Air Flow and Your AllerAir Air Purifier We ve noticed over the years that clients are very particular when it comes to using their AllerAir unit. Some like to run it 24/7, others only at night, some like to run it on high for a few hours then leave it on low for the rest of the day. So is there a science to choosing your air flow rate? We took this question to our technical department and here s what we learned: Particles: Technically speaking, dust, pollen, hair and other airborne particles actually respond well to a higher setting. That s because the air is drawn-in at a faster rate which make the particles smack into the fibrous web of the HEPA filter with greater force. This increases the chance that they ll get stuck in the HEPA. Using the high setting for a few hours may be an excellent quick fix strategy if you ve just finished brushing your pet or are cleaning out a dusty space, but our technical expert was quick to point out that over the long term it s just as effective to keep your unit on and running on low. This will provide a continuous flow of air that will help keep the air fresh. Chemicals and Odors: For chemical and odor concerns there is a definite consensus ??? low is the way to go. That s due to the specific nature of the activated carbon used in AllerAir air purifiers. Activated carbon contains millions of tiny pores and fissures that trap chemicals, gases and odors. The longer these pollutants are forced to hang around in the carbon bed, the better chance they have of being adsorbed. When you select the low speed, the air passes at a slower rate through the carbon filter, therefore giving the pollutants dwell time allowing them to be adsorbed more efficiently. This process is also helped along by AllerAir s deeper carbon beds. Particles, Chemical

    Customer Review: Great screen.
    This is a great screen for the price looks and works great…some buyers have had problems mostly due to shipping damages (mine arrived with some box damage but the contents were fine).replaced a cheapo pull down screen and happy I did.only flaw very minor is that my harmony remote would activate the screen when selecting the old s-vhs deck to watch a tape with on the tv…the IR codes must have been similar for turning on the vcr and rolling the screen down,but you could hardwire the screen and block the sensor or send the vcr to the graveyard which is what i did.
    Customer Review: Screen Trigger
    Screen quality is excellant but the trigger function needs improvement. Using one of the reviews posted on the customer comments I tried using a CAT5/6 cable to connect the screen to my projector (Mistubishi 5000U). The screen motor makes a clicking sound when I power on my projector but does not drop down.
    Also, I did not get the wall unit switch as mentioned in the product description. Amazon although reduced the cost fractionally to match the current cost of the screen, they still haven’t sent me a new switch as communicated by the Amazon representative.
