My Playstation 3 is connected to the home theater via optical–How to get sound from the TV when HT is off?
My PS3 is connected to the home theater via optical therefore everytime I want to play with the audio on I have to turn on the home theater which is somewhat annoying. Is there a way to get regular sound from the TV when the Home Theater is off? The PS3 Output Settings option only allows me to choose ONE connector. Thanks in advance.

What is the best way to configure my home theater system?
I would like to hook up both my x-box 360 (which is my DVD player) and my satellite box. My home theater receiver has one digital audio optical interface port. I have this plugged into the x-box. Now, however, my satellite box only has either red and white cables or the digital audio optical connection.
What should I do? I have a 46″ sony bravada HD TV that has digital audio out in optical as well. Is there a way to use that to resolve this issue? Can you get a splitter cable for the digital audio optical stuff? Do I need to buy a new receiver with more ports?
The bravada has an optical out, but no optical in… and even if it did, the home theater has only one optical in, and I’d still be only able to get the xbox in one or the other… if that makes sense.
I was hoping to not have to buy a different adapter for my xbox if it is not necessary.
My sat receiver has only Digital optical out, it does not have HDMI available [I do not have an HD satellite yet, we won't for another year... but I bought the TV anyway because I wanted a bigger TV.]

business projector versus a home theater projector? Is there that much of a difference in black levels?
I am budgeting about 500-600 for the project and about 100 for the screen. I can afford a 2000 projector.
A ViewSonic PJ506D SVGA (800×600) 4:3/16:9 2000 lumens business projector is going for 500 with a mail free screen and mount offer.
An InFocus In72 WVGA (852×480) 900 lumens home theater projector is going for about the same refurbished with no extras.
I have read that I really should get a home theater projector rather than a business projector like the 506D, but the lumens scares me.
I am projecting on an 80″screen with blinds and curtains closed. no lights. still some ambient light.
Which will be better. I am going to use it the a really nice DVD player, Wii and Home theater PC. No interest in HD DVDs for atleast 3-4 years when I will prob upgrade this anyway.

For a home theater in my basement, should I place sconce lighting on either side of my projector screen?
I’m setting up a home theater in my basement (just finished framing). I plan to put 2 sconces on both side walls. But I was wondering if I should put a sconce on each side of the projector screen itself? Is having some dimmed light next to the screen good for viewing or is it better to keep the screen area as dark as possible?
Thanks - Sam.

How do I know the quality of a home theater system?
Using specifications such as wattage, etc, how can I tell the quality of a home theater system? I want to find a good set for around $100-$200 but I don’t know a lot about sound fidelity. Also, any home theater system suggestions?

My home theater speakers pick up the radio in the background, are there ways of preventing this?
When the speakers are on, you can hear the radio, but its not connected to any radio reciever, just the DVD player and the subwoofer, this is a Coby home theater system, with dvd player, a sub and two speakers. It works well, just has the radio background which is annoying. I’ve looked for answers but cannot find anything exactly with what I need. Can anybody help me?
