    Connecting my HTIB Samsung HT-D4500

    If the remote worked to change the input, then that should have worked. I would think either the output is not enabled, or the cable is bad. Do you have some other source to check the cable? Like an old DVD player or something? You could connect it and try playing a DVD and see if you get any...

    Connecting my HTIB Samsung HT-D4500

    Did you get the instruction manual with the system? From the manual, it says to connect an optical cable directly from the digital out on the satellite receiver to the Digital Audio In Optical connection on the back of the Samsung. Then you have to use the Function button (it looks like you have...

    What is going on with my HT?

    That's funny, we've only been in this house about 3 years and we've had a couple of ghostly events (nothing close to this) so the thought briefly crossed my tired mind as I was doggedly trying to go to sleep that night... if it wasn't for the xbox still being dead and all of my gear still being...

    What is going on with my HT?

    The strangest thing happened Saturday night. It started Saturday afternoon. We had friends over and our sons were upstairs in the media room playing Xbox. They decided to leave and went up to check out my gear before they left. We were watching the kids play Halo and the Xbox froze up, not a...

    HTF Poll: How do you have your surround system configured? Vote and you could win a $50 Amazon gift

    7.1 with 2 rear/back. It's kind of overkill in the room we have it in now, but both of our previous homes were custom built with much larger media rooms. You don't really get the full effect of the 7.1 unless there is good separation between the side and back in my humble opinion, but I have...

    Is the Bang & Olufsen BeoLab 5 the best speaker made today?

    Won't this thread ever die... Is there not a way to block new members from posting to any thread older than a year for some probationary period?

    Need help with Surround Sound connections please!!

    I hate to tell you this, but the blu-ray player that you bought is just that, it plays blu-rays and DVD's, it is not a complete home theater package that acts as a receiver and DVD player. You will need a receiver, or need to somehow route sound back through your old system to be able to get...

    TCFHE Press Release: Star Wars: The Complete Saga (Blu-ray)

    I'll definitely come back here when it comes time to place my order. Sorry to join the minority, but I also enjoyed all 6 films. I didn't say I liked them all equally, but I didn't even like the first three equally...

    Denon avr-3311ci vs Onkyo tr-nx1008 vs Yamaha rx-a2000

    I've had receivers from Denon, Onkyo and even a B&K. I do also have a Yamaha 4 chanel amp that powers my outdoor speakers, although I've never owned one of their receivers. My current receiver is an Onkyo 876. I was in the same dilemma as you a couple years ago. After doing a lot of reading...
