I have it on the setting that auto detects DD or DTS, but since I have a harmony 880 you might be on to something. Hmmmm.

I could try, but they're all blown. I suppose I could snag a speaker from work and give it a shot. I plan on looking for the fuse tonight so we'll see what happens.

Tried resetting it but it did not fix the problem. I might just try looking for a blown fuse. It will either be obvious that I'll never find it or look easy enough to fix. Either way it's worth a shot.

Yeah, unfortunately it's not the wire. What a bummer. I mean I knew I wanted to upgrade, but the timing. But what can you do? I watched my first movie with the new speakers anyway. LOTR FOTR. Man, the bass was awesome! My body was shaking! My girl never complained about it being too much...

Well I've run into a snag. I finally got the time to run the avia disc and get everything set up right. That's when I noticed I was not getting sound out of one of the front speakers. I know I was getting sound out of it when I first hooked them up and set my receiver to my new speaker...

Yes, I will be calibrating them them this weekend and hopefully the lady will be happy. On a side note, I went to best buy for a cable. They had this rocketfish cable clearenced on the website for 12.99. On the shelf it was $23. So I asked if they matched their web price, and he went to...

It's a fact that every living creature in my house hates me now. Especially the cat. This morning I popped on saving private ryan. I cranked the dts intro at the beginning and when it was done I heard my half awake girlfriend in the other room say "ok, that was pretty cool". I'm going to...

I haven't got everything tweeked yet, but I'm sitting here with a permagrin watching LOTR. And svs is going to send me a new spl meter. Great customer service. Very pleased.

Well thankfully she's not a shopping spree type of girl. But she did manage to get me to take her to Indian buffet tonight. Yes, tonight. (don't tell her the main reason I agreed is because I want to go to best buy and get a subwoofer cord!) Also, I bought a spl meter from svs and the...

I have a lot of extra speaker wire at work that I think will do that job. This is what it says on the cable... dominator custom series 16/2 type cm (ul) e156866 or type cl3 I'm pretty sure it's made for inwall, at least it would make sense. It was used in a fireworks store so I'm assuming...

Well it's a great idea, but I'm the head honcho here, which means I guess I could, but if the owner found out it wouldn't be pretty. That being said, my job comes with a house on the property so it's easy to sneak over there and get some things done. As for my googies, I bought a pair of...

So I'm at work and talking to my girlfriend (she works for me) and telling her I wish I could get my speakers today. Right then and there the ups guy pulls up and they were here!! I know what I'm doing tonight. Oh yeah.

Since I have new speakers coming it seems like I should ask what is recommended. Is all speaker wire the same? Is a certain gauge best? In case it matters I'm waiting on SVS sbs-01 speakers with a Sony STR DE675 receiver. Also, will any subwoofer cable work or are certain ones better? I...

I'll be using my old Sony STR DE675 for now. Later I plan on upgrading to an Onkyo 605 or equivalent. I could use some feedback on pairing up this receiver with the svs speakers. I'm not sure I ever had my old sub hooked up the best way. I'm no expert here but I'm learning.

The title of this thread should now read I have made a buy! SVS SBS-01 5.0 set up with the PB12-NSD sub. Also picked up a pair of stands and the avia/spl meter bundle. I figured I should buy the bundle and set these speakers up the best way possible.
