For those of you who own this machine and have it placed in your man-cave , are you getting the movie theater affect from having it there ?

It is not in a man cave, however it does make things smell like a movie theater and it pops the popcorn very well.

It is pretty big, if you have a big room it will definitely fill the room with the popcorn smell and feel...

The movie theater effect is definitely achieved with this machine. From the aesthetics of the machine itself to the popcorn aroma that fills the room when you pop, Paragon TP-8 delivers.

You're welcome. I have owned this unit for a little over a year now and it has done a great job. I use it exclusively for Blurays and I have a different stand alone for DVDs.

It's not that bad. It is noticeable when the unit is first turned on, and before playing video/audio. But in a moderately sized room, with the video/audio at normal levels (and especially at high levels during louder scenes), it is barely noticeable if at all. It could be considered bothersome by some, in a small room, when the video/audio are quieter.

To be honest with you, especially when dealing with money, I sent mine back after having it for only a week. I sent it back because it did not play all m dvds or my flash drive. With my dealings with it, it played some of my items, which did not suit well with me. I hope I answered your question and I am not trying to discredit the company, I'm simply being honest in my dealings with the projector and why I do not have it anymore.

I also purchased a 100 inch motorized screen to use with it in my garage. My children and I love watching movies on it. It fills the screen with total clarity. The room however does need to be dark. Dark out curtains were the perfect remedy for pre-dusk movies.

Wish I could be of help, but no luck here. Since HDMI has been available, I've made several attempts to multi-task with this technology, unsuccessfully. If I remember correctly, one of the reasons for the initial development was to put in place safeguards on content to prevent "pirating" hi-def, with the pressures of the movie studios and replaced component connections. Wish mine were a little heavier, then it'd make a good paper weight. But being no expert, it might seem that for less that 5 bucks, you might have better luck.

Have not run a movie thru yet. I ran a homemade DVD slide show with music. had the HDMI plugged into my laptop, at my daughters wedding. It was in a hotel banquet hall. And everyone could see. Sorry I could not be more help.

Ours is extremely noisy when running. We have a basement home theater in the room adjoining the utility room where the pump is located, and it's extremely unpleasant if the pump is running and we're trying to watch a movie. And that is with the utility room door closed.

I have a dvd/blu-ray in mine and there is no issue. I rarely use it but have no had an issue.

I'm on 110 in screen which is frankly to big for the room, but you free like your watching IMAX or 3D of every show because stuff is so big. I most likly should have done 8ft screen max. My room is only 18 long so I have the projector on the ceiling at 17ft and the screen on the other side. My main seating are is 12 ft from the screen making my 110 in seem like 20ft instead of 10ft plus

Not really the majority of these device you need to configure it with servers... to get everything free... for example if you want I can set one up and sell it but will be around 300 with all latest movies from theater and a few live channels .. usually updates everyday so you wont miss the new movies in theater.. with no extra cost

Hello, in response to your question, if you have just basic speakers (for example I use computer speakers), and you set it somewhere away from you. Then yes you will be able to hear and enjoy your movie just fine:) You must have a projector and connect the speakers directly up to the projector itself. Hope this helps, good luck.

no, it's pretty much the PS3 that is associated with that. it only happens on movies made by or associated with Sony. the WDTV isn't affected buy this block. that's why I bought it inthe first place. enjoy....

I sit about 10 feet away, and I don't think it is too close, it is awesome, I feel like I am in the cinema.I play ps4 games on it, fifa 14 and call of duty, and I think the quality is out of this world.

I wouldn't use it for that. It is a nice quality unit but it is really designed more for use as a program or presentation type projector. In would spend a little more money and get a bigger unit more designed for movie use.

That's what I bought it for, this is my third projector. A couple things to think about. -Should consider using a sound system the project isn't designed for sound. -I bought screen material and made a frame out of 1x3's. Just switched to Gray screen which helps with ambient light.-Room need to have light controlled somewhat, we have a daylight basement.-Its a projection, so it look more like a movie theater then the hi-gloss HDTV's now out.-Run it in econo mode, I put it in regular mode for 3D and special programs, it really extends the life of the bulb.
