I have a Plasma TV (HP-4254) and DVD converter (DVD-1080P7) both products made by Samsung. I am looking for a receiver without a DVD player (so I can hook up my converter) and a couple of speakers made by Samsung for my TV.
Thanks for the recommendation.

Re:
It really depends on how much you want to spend. A home theater set=up will probably be a bit hard to get without a DVD player. Let me know your budget, and I will see what i can come up with. Do you have to stick with Samsung by the way?
Ok I have a few things in mind, let me do a little more researce and I will get back to you for sure.Ok I have a few things in mind, let me do a little more researce and I will get back to you for sure.
I am looking into the Samsung request. But I have a question for you. The DVD player does up convert the Dvds to play on the TV set but it does not play dual layer or Blue ray disc. Also it is not a recorder. Would you consider getting a unit that can at least record and play dual layer disc as well as all the previous types of DVDs? Is your DVD library that extensive that you need an up converter so they play on this new TV set of yours?I am looking into the Samsung request. But I have a question for you.

There can be several causes for this, few of which you can do anything about. However, a few things to try:
1) Replace the batteries on your remote control. 2) Try resetting the logic functions on yourtv by unplugging it for a minute, then plugging it back in. 3) Try covering up the infra-red receptor on the front of your TV to see if you're getting unwanted signals from the receptor. taping a piece of foil over that area is perfect. If it doesn't stop after doing these two things you'll probably need to take it to a shop. 4) If this does stop it, then look for unexpected signal sources. Have you added a remote control extender? Added a new device to your audio-videosystem? Changed to a new remote?
Make sure you have the tv volume turned right down as this will cause an echo,also set amp to prologic 2, and set up xover to suit your speakers or go for the THX standard of 80 hrtz and as a rule of thumb set front L,C,R speakers to zero rears to about +4or5 and your sub to -5[ dont know which speakers you have but try setting the subs on board volume to the 10,o,cloak position],also make sure the speakers -,+ are wired the same at the amp and speakers.
Plug the TV to an open channel on your receiver via this output: *Rear, 1 x Digital audio output (coaxial) ( TOSLINK ) This will look like a single RCA output plug. Set that input channel on your receiver to some sort of virtual surround mode because it doesn't look like your HDTV has a decoder in it (meaning it will come out stereo and the receiver will have to fake it). Turn the volume all the way down on the TV and use the receiver to control TV volume just as you do with DVDs.
*Substitute this with the digital audio output on your set top box if you are sending video only to the TV from the set top box (component, DVI or s-video connections). So video goes to the TV, audio to the receiver.
nice gear. Without further information, i am going to describe the best setup possible with your equipment.
1. make sure the speakers are connected to the receiver and you can hear sound out of it
2. connect cable box to receiver via hdmi to receiver.Choose cable on the receiver or video1 etc. (if you are not using hdmi cables post annd i will walk uthruogh a non hdmi process)
3. connect a hdmi cable from thee receiver monitor output area to the tv hdmi input
4. connect the dvd player hdmi to the input of the receiver
to watch select the tv av mode to line up with the receiver and choose video1 for tv and dvd to watch dvds on the receiver.
Thanks for your response.
I like Samsung products but I could vary. My budget would ideally be around 500.
Thanks,
Tom
