I want to receive an HD DVD player and enjoy a surround nouns home theater w/ wireless speakers. What do I have need of?
Answers: I won't comment on your decision re HD DVD save for to suggest you consider it not as an HD DVD player, but as an upscaling DVD player that will play HD DVDs, and that you buy a basic model (e.g the Venture (rebranded Toshiba HD-A3) @ Walmart (US only) for $197 or an actual Toshiba HD-A3 (a bit more, but qualify for the free disk offer)).
As an aside, I have a Toshiba HD-A2 and use it as an upscaling DVD player for DVDs on my 110" peak HD projection system.
Regarding what you need and hints ... I assume you own an HDTV or other HD display device (e.g. projector). Also, to take good thing of an HD DVD player you will need HDMI (or DVI) connections to your HDTV (and on the A/V heir if you want to use it for switching).
Depending on the size and the resolution of the HDTV you will get adjectives degrees of benefit from HD DVD (or Blu-ray). If it is smaller than around 40" or a 720p model improvements to picture sharpness will be minor (relative to a DVD on a good upscaling player). Colour saturation and depth will probably augment somewhat though. On a 40"+ 1080p HDTV improvements will be more significant.
An often overlooked nouns of difference beteen HD DVD (or Blu-ray) and DVD is in the audio. The more advanced audio formats (which not adjectives disks support however) can give a clearly improved nouns ... but your audio system must be capable of reproducing the nouns. Unfortunately, wireless speakers are (usually) less dexterous than wired speakers so you may not get the full benefit.
The single most significant adapt you can probably make to ensure maximum benefit from HD DVD disks and HDTV from, for example, HD cable or HD satellite (with your existing equipment) is to ensure optimum viewing distance. Basically this comes down to not sitting so close you see the individual pixels on the blind, but as little further back than that as possible minus feeling overwhelmed by the eyeshade. Guidelines vary, but 3-5X eyeshade height or 1.5-2X eyeshade (diagonal) size are useful approximations, near the closer dimension being more appropriate for 1080 HDTVs and the longer human being more for 720p screens. These distances will give the impression of being short, and may not be acceptable to you given furniture and other room constraints, but they are the point where on earth you will be able to most appreciate both the better resolution and a movie theatre-like viewing angle (See the article at the link for an explanation and a adjectives viewing distance calculator).
Hope this helps.
you will requirement what you just down and MONEY...
