Top 10 Home Theater Gifts For Dad

Are you looking for a few last week gifts for dear old Dad? About.com has you covered with 10 gifts that should make any proud Papa smile. All in all the least is pretty good. However, I would have a few more items dedicated to a QUALITY out of the box sounding speaker set and receiver. I am sorry to say, but a brand name HDTV will almost look the same as another one with a little time spend tweaking. However, a quality speaker set and receiver will be a big improvement over a HTIB.

Toshiba HD-XA1 Flagship HD-DVD
Player The Toshiba HD-XA1 provides consumers with access to HD video
content on a DVD-type disc. HD-DVDs and DVDs (which are upscaled) look excellent
via the XA-1's HDMI connection. However, despite the excellent improvement in
video quality, it takes about a minute to boot up and load a disc. Also, the
resolution and video output settings cannot be changed while a disc in play. The
HD-XA1 is well-constructed and offers great video and audio quality, if you
don't mind some of its operational quirks.
