Comment on How do I know the quality of a home theater system? by He who must hold the remote

You have 3 or 4 different devices and each have their own issues/things to look for:

Receiver – 80 watts per channel from Yamaha, Denon, Onkyo, Kenwood. Other systems sound more powerful, but there are many ways to measure power to make the numbers look better. The above companies tend to be honest and respectable. Good ones start about $500.

Subwoofer – A good sub has either a large driver (12", 15", 18"), or they try to ‘fake it’ with a small driver but more power. Some do a good job, but many do not.

Speakers – A lot of ‘magic’ in these and you cannot just read specs. They have flavor and like beer or ice cream, you should try to listen to a set with a favorite CD to hear what sounds good to you.

My advice: Set a budget and spend a few WEEKS learning about speakers, receivers, wires.

If you are impatient, get a Home Theater in a Box. Make sure to buy a system with a full-sized receiver, separate, self – powered subwoofer and 5 tone matched speakers. Stick with Yamaha, Denon or Kenwood so at least you get good electronics.

The advantage to these over-sized box systems is you can later upgrade the sub, speakers, receiver later without tossing out the whole system.

Decent ones start at about $400.

Many integrated systems from Samsung, Phillips are not expandable even if the price looks good. Avoid these or you will later be whining here "How can I hook up my new…" only to be told you cannot.

Get some glasses or contacts! Mis-hits are NOT a result of small racquet head size. Mis-hits are a result of being unable to read the incoming ball correctly. A tennis pro might be able to help with balance to keep your head & eyes still…

I have a panasonic. It has 500 watts, 5 speakers, plays dvd's cd's and it has am/fm radio. I paid around $200 for it and it is just wonderful. Has terrific sound and very easy to operate. I believe the model # is sc-ht690 Good Luck!

You wont find heavy OS, but you should switch to a 100 head size, you can find some of those pretty heavy like the Babolat Pure Drive Plus Cortex or the Babolat Aeropro Drive. See link below for a table of specs…

Comment on What is the difference between surround speakers and regular? by Grumpy Mac

Ideally they are identical.

Back in the ProLogic days there was 1 channel for the rear which was split to the 2 speakers. Dolby told sound engineers to only put diffuse sounds (wind, rain, rumbles) to these speakers and recommended the use of dipole speakers or speakers turned to bounce sound off the wall to help hide the location.

Dolby Digital 5.1 changed all that. Each rear speaker gets a separate channel of sound and sound engineers WANT to draw your attention to the specific speaker.

Since they are making sounds swirl around now – ideally all your 5 or 7 speakers are identical to tone-match.

Good quality home theatre system budget starts $800 and up – assuming you get a good receiver and separate 5.1 speaker system.

For $100-$200 budget, you’ll end up getting an HTIB (home theatre in a box).

Try restarting your computer and hitting the power button after you unplug the system from the power on the wall. This will reset the computer. Then if your sound card is bad it will not play the windows sounds when you restart. Check the plugs make sure they are plugged in correctly as they probably are. Try that option make sure that you have system sounds turned on and also check the sound program in the control panel that nothing is muted in the preferences.
