Home Theater

My Home Theater Setup in the basement

Mitsubishi 16x9 Widescreen High-Definition 46" TV (55" would not go down the stairs).

DISH Network 6000 High-Definition Satellite Receiver with Dish 500 for domestic channels and one additional Dish for Ethnic channels and an attic-mounted antenna for NY or Philly HD locals.

Denon AVR-3801 Receiver capable of decoding Dolby Digital 6.1 (matrix) and DTS-ES (discrete and matrix).

Design Acoustics Speakers for Front Left and Right and Center Channels.

JBL Speakers for Subwoofer, Surround Left, Surround Right, Surround Back Left, and Surround Back Right. I will be adding two more speakers in the back for a total 6 surrounds.

Pioneer DV-414 DVD player (I will be upgrading this to a Progressive Scan capable player since my TV can take 480p).
