Thanks for the wealth of information, guys! This forum ROCKS! Having said that, I'm not up-to-speed on the various acronyms used. I did look up YMMV (your mileage may vary) but what's OTA, RWY, STB...?

I am currently hanging my rear surrounds on the wall and routing the wires to make them as invisible as possible. When I'm done with this, I'll seriously look into all your comments about best audio/video performance and make changes to my hookups accordingly. I also have an AVIA Home Theater DVD and the Radio Shack Sound Meter for calibration (yet to use any of this)

Thanks again, I'll respond some more after finishing some tasks at hand
