My friend has the same brand Home Theater system, but he has four Panasonic tower speakers and a different looking Subwoofer. The Center speaker is the same as well as the DVD Player. He has the Panasonic model number HT900 US.

You will be happy with the Panasonic system!!

Amazon has it for usd $409.00 Don't get me wrong its a good system, I was just trying to save you some bucks if at all possible.

Hey guys,
Since this post is regarding Home theater, I need some suggestions from you experts
I want to buy a projector for watching movies and i am looking for a good one which is "Sasta, Sunder, Tikaoo". So guys give your opinions and the features that i should look for.

Thanks Ksingh!



Thanks for the advice but something like this I would rather buy new with warranty. I bought it from Best Buy in Canada.

Wow the sound from Indian DVDs is so pathetic except for DEI DVDs. I cant believe what I have been missing. English DVDs are simply out of this world with the surround and bass effects ie.ID4, T2.

I know what you mean, i bought mine just for the fact that i might be getting some better sound from indian movies but it's no better but the english movies is definitely out of this world . BTW, that price i quoted is for brand new, not used.

with indian dvds, you will certainly get better sound than your TV speakers with a good system. sure most indian dvds don't have a great 5.1 mix, but there are some that do (kaaka kaaka, mission kashmir). if indian dvd authors do anything decently, it's the sound.

enjoy, if you want advice on a projector, a good place to go is http://www.hometheaterforum.com. just make sure you maintain a large viewing distance from your screen as most indian dvds need a large viewing distance to mask the crappy picture quality.

Actually through the tv you cant hear the distortion which some dvds have and are only able to hear it thru a good system. Just like if you have a smaller tv you wont be able to see the pixelation seen in movies but you will on a big screen.

I wanted to hear Lamhe through my system and the sound was coming out of all the speakers and didnt sound good at all, boy was I disappointed as this was one of my favorites. Then I watched Kaho Na Pyar Hai, M:K, HSSH and Gupt ... all were simply fantastic!

What other indian (bollywood) movies have wicked 5.1 coming from Ero$/DEI/Video $ound/YRF etc.?

it's true about crappy sound quality being magnified through a good system.

the way to fix the lamhe problem is to set your receiver to output stereo sound rather than 5.1.

i think there's a thread somewhere where people have listed their favorite audio tracks on a dvd. i know Dil Se and Asoka R2 got a lot of votes.

btw, soundtrack of new Lakshya dvd is a BIG PRO despite other cons!! if u wish to see that!!

and boring yaadein had good 5.1 sound track too...I am trying to stay out of DEI camp, that did a lot of good ones..BADAL, BORDER, TNBPG, and manymany more!!oh, i know ZIDDI, JUNG!CHINA TOWN..WOW!! MAN THAT CHAMMA CHAMMA ROCKS!!!

another one for yaadein.. it has a very good soundtrack...

some good indian movies with good sound include:

Ghulam DEi/Eros
Jung DEi
HDDCS DEi

hmm

Thnx faddy!!

Thanks for the recommended DVDs everyone

I cant remember for sure but I dont think that Yaadein on the back cover mentioned 5.1, I will check it when I get home tonight.
