i need a home theater system that has OUTSTANDING sound.from the regular speakers to the subwoofer.and please give me an alternative to BOSE.thank you!

These things put out some dramatic bass. Best in the whole neighborhood. So if u want bass get these. Especially if ur price conscious. I'm 16 and i've payd for every last peice of equipment in the setup.

I'am looking at putting together a home theater system. i just
purched a new hd 1080p tv now for the sound where should i put
most of my money in the receiver or the speakers???

Not as complicated as you think. More amazing than you imagine. A short easy to follow explanation of how to add surround sound to any television. Everybody knows that surround sound can transform your living room into a virtual movie theater. What a lot of people don't know is that surround sound doesn't have to be complicated. It can be easy to understand, easy to setup and easy to purchase. This video provides a comprehensive explanation of surround sound. So microwave some popcorn and sit back as Mark Oliver and Antwan Mills talk about how to bring movie theater sound to your home theater.

Onkyo SKW-200 subwoofer

I have a Sharp Aquos LC-52D64U HDTV that I currently have outputing audio via standard red/white audio into a RCA RT2280 home theater receiver. Basic stereo sound works fine. Today I bought an optical digital audio cable and have connected it from the tv's digital audio ouput jack to the RCA's digital input jack. However I can not get any sound out of the optical mode. I wanted to set this up to get Dolby 5.1 out of my HD channels. My cable runs to a Motorola DVR from Comcast and then to the TV using component cables (red,blue,green,red, white). Does anyone have any suggestions?
My Comcast box has both optical digital and HDMI outputs. So I guess that if I connect the cable box to the TV via one of these methods and then have the optical digital line from the TV to the box I should get the desired results - that makes sense. Thanks.

and what I mean is, not as loud as its suppose to be. I'm very familiar with home theater systems and its not a HTIB one, real deal, but old. anyways I have maybe a 2001 model maybe a little older of the yamaha receiver along with a speakers. the yamaha subwoofer has its own amp inside so by itself its plugged into a wall and not receiving just the lows from reciever by wires. i used a gold cox cable or something similar to component but realized it was a digital cable, i guess, and didnt sound to well, rather raspy. So plugging in right inputs were right, and i kno the INs and OUTs and its labeled subwoofer, left and right, left being just mono, receiver only has one input. So, question is, should i try another cable? is it the settings on the receiver i need to change? It's in very good condition, no cosmetic damage, but can it be just old wear and tear? i doubt it. Sorry if my explanation may sound confusing but I would love to hear some options or maybe one on one? pretty much the sound is weak in the room but outside i can hear it pretty well but i wanna feel the bass in front of me and im sure its capable if doing so, it has a volume dial on the back. other info: its a bandpass type subwoofer, almost like the size of a regular computer tower with a funnel port up front. please help poor dummy here

Here's the issue: I have a 6 year-old "home theater in-a-box". There is a receiver that is also a dvd changer. In the back is a "digital coax in". So I went out and bought the following in order to connect my PS 3 to this receiver/dvd player:

1) an optical cable
2) a digital coaxial audio cable
3) an optical/coaxial converter

Here's what I did: I hooked up the optical cable to the PS3 "optical out". Then the other end of this cable went into the "optical in" on the converter box. I hooked up the digital coaxial cable to the "coaxial in" on the converter box. I hooked up the other end of this cable to the "coaxial in" on my receiver/dvd player.
My Playstation 3 is hooked up to my tv with an HDMI cable.
Once all this was done, I went into the PS3 menu and adjusted my audio settings to "optical cable". I also enabled Dolby Digital and DTS surround sound.
Now, when I try to play a game there is no audio, only video. What could I POSSIBLY be doing wrong???????????? I knew this wasn't going to go smoothly, and I was right.
If I could get this hooked up the right way I would (esentially) have a Blu Ray surround sound system, and that would be SWEET. Can anyone help? What am I doing wrong??????????????

I want to buy a samsung BD1500 blu ray player and connect it to my existing samsung dvd home theater system HT-Z310 is it possible?
Thanks alot guys. The specs are wrong on the samsung website. My home theater system does have an optical input and my blu-ray disc player does have a optical output. I'm buying the optical cable to connect now. Thanks, now I don't have to worry.
