    Toshiba SD-3750 plays sound on some discs not others

    Hello all, I have a Toshiba SD-3750. It's a great unit and hasn't given me any trouble until I bought the OSU National Champions DVD. It plays the video, but doesn't play any sound. All other DVD's appear to play just fine. The one thing that I noticed is that when the OSU DVD is in the DVD...

    Decision Time: Onkyo 601 or HK225

    Ok, thanks to your help, I have narrowed my decision down to these 2 receivers. I just wanted to get your last minute thoughts regarding these 2 receivers so that I can pick one of them. I am running PolkRM6005's, in a 14X16 room, with a 47' HDTV. Any thoughts based on your experience?

    Onkyo TX-SR600 vs 601

    Anyone know the difference between the two? I browsed the features etc and they look the same. IS the 601 worth the extra money?

    Component Video Switching for Dummies...

    Well, not really. This is a brand new setup. I don't have anything connected together yet. As a matter of fact, the speakers are still in their boxes. I'm waiting to get the receiver then set everything up. Will the CVS be useful for a beginner? How will I set it up?

    Component Video Switching for Dummies...

    Yea, I'm asking what it means. You say that it allows video sources to switch to component video. What does that mean exactly?

    AVR-125 vs AVR-325

    Hello all, I'm looking to get a new surround receiver and I'm leaning towards the HK line. The AVR-125 is easily in my budget and I think would suit my room (14X14) and speakers (Polk RM6005) just fine. BUT (there's always a BUT!) everyone on this board seems really high on the 325. Is there...
