Well it s Bruce Springsteen you know. I have been putting it off for awhile. They threw in a Blue ray player for free, and no interest for 3 years. It was time for a new tv the old one had some humbars rolling up the screen.

I cannot bring myself to buy a new HD set. I have spent lots of time checking them out, but the trails on the sports shows such as soccer and hockey or football drives me nuts. I end up with a headache and crossed eyes after watching a fast moving event. I think I will stick with my 10 year old 28" Sony TV.

Matt this is one of the best ones out there. Best buy has em 50 bucks off. They are usually 349.00 and they have them for $299 this comes with everything you need.

Here are a few pics, still need to neaten up some of the remote sensors.

The 52 was only $300. more than the 46. I have always subscribed to if you think it is enough go a little more. Just like fishing eels, if you think you are going slow, slow it down some more.

In the 3rd pic is the one of the eight remote sensors they give you for out of site applications. You can also use the remote in IR mode, you specify the remote to use RF or IR by component being controlled. The TV is out so I specified IR for it and RF for everything that was hidden.

Inside the cabinet are an Onkyo Pro Av Reciever, a sony 5 disc changer, sony vcr/dvd player, Samsung Bluray , Cable box and a Wii.

The other side of the cabinet is empty, and I will use it for dvd, game and cd storage.

Here are the REF reciever, and the remote. If I new that you could set up 2 in the same house without them interfering on RF I would by a second one for my bedroom as I have the components in the closet.

As a side note anyone who has trouble with their cable box remotes, buy even a basic Logitech Harmony with Hard keys, and the box will respond so much better. The soft buttons on the remotes they give you are horrible, and cause alot of delay.

Matt the remote is easy to set up, it is software based and you use your computer.
