Infrared Cordless® Digital Surround Headphone System

MDR-DS8000 (for night night gaming so the wife can sleep)They work great but I do want to get true surround sound cordless headphone when they make them at a afortable price.



Any info good or bad on all this stuff,I would like to hear.If anyone has any of these I would love to hear from you!

Just a small beverage refrigerator and I think you're there!  It looks very promising!  Good luck and please post after you are up and running!

[Maxxwire]

I would suggest taking the $$$ you had alocated for the naked chicks and put it towards upgrading to a DA 1000ES Receiver. Not only does it have a 5 year warranty, but at least it will still be there when you wake up in the morning.

 I'm thinking about buying a DVD player because my XBOX is only 480i so I'm looking at the Denon DVD-1910 but do I have to hook it up with DVI to get 720p or will it get 720p with the component cable?

Braehole,

Can't wait to see your Sony setup after you get it set up and tweaked. You don't have to use the DVI connection, component cables will give you 720p as well. Maxx's suggestion is more practical, still the naked chicks sound pretty enticing.

The DA 1000ES lists for $100 more than the DE 997-

If you can convince the girls that they can get by with just $100 less then you can have a nice ES grade Receiver for your Home Theater as well as Home Entertainment.

Man Max thanks for the info.I love the STR-DA1000ES receiver and I'm going to get it.Thats why I'm at this forum.

[aeroblazer]

Braehole, go to www.oade.com. They're an official Sony dealer in Georgia. I bought my STR-DA2000ES (at the prodding of some of these forum members--namely Maxx and Toli) from Oade in July-August for way less than even Crutchfield.

Crutchfield has excellent service and warranty, but I just wanted to plug the Oade Brothers' service and price. They're definitely worth checking out. I wouldn't be surprised if you could get a 1000ES for the same price as Crutchfield was selling a DE997--Might even encourage you to upgrade to the digital amplifier!

Ok I bought the TV and the whole home theater set up for 4,266.44 TOTAL.That's less then if I just bought the TV at BestBuy(they wanted 4400.00 total for the TV)I picked the MF750H speakers because of consumer reports testing said they were great sound at a cheap price.This is my first HT set up going into my new house on the first.

I will let everyone know if I have any problems buying everything from different places.I payed with my visa debit card and the only problem I had with that was I can only send 3000.00 dollars every 24 hours so they can't charge my TV till tomorrow or the next day.

The only problem I had was hidden fee's on the TV so make sure you call before buying.I went with a free shipping company.
