3FG:
Finally got time to connect all components. With your advice and the $15 universal remote from Sears (RCA Universal Remote RCRP05B) we hooked up everything. The sony av is driving great sound from a Polk audio surround system; the samsung LED looks awesome and the room is filled with crisp sounds. Had a guy who is a audio videophile who specializes in car audio balance the sound system. He was very impressed with your expertise. I really appreciate your input on this project. It's not a home run; it's a grand slam.
