I am doing the exact same thing as I write this note! :) Anyway, I hooked up the PC and HDTV via S-video and it looks horrible. I have tried tweaking the screen/display settings of the PC, but to no avail. What I am noticing on my Toshiba 42inch HDTV is that the center of the screen looks...

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...

Hi All, What do you guys recommend for outdoor speakers? I'd like to get a pair of the speakers that look like rocks in the landscape, but I don't know much about them. Any recommendations?

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?

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

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?

Thanks guys, that helps! I can see whay that would be a useful option. I think I'll opt for the Onkyo 601 rather than the HK225

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

Hey guys, Can someone put that into something I can understand?! :) I am considering a new receiver and based on your feedback (thanks!) I am now considering stepping up to get CVS capabilities. I have an x-box, dvd player, and Toshiba widescreen HDTV. I will be running Polk RM6005's...

Anyone else????

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...

$400?

bump Any ideas!

How do you add the xbox live graphic to your signature?

************ I posted this in the speaker area, but this is porbably the better place for it. Sorry for the double post.******************* Ok, I need some help. I have a small room that I am setting up a home theater in. The room is about 13 X 16. We just purchased a 42" widescreen...
