I wouldn't say the Rotel is Overkill for the 600's. I use to drive my 603's with a Bryston 3B and it sounded great, but could use more power. I could drive the Bryston to Clipping with out the 603's losing control or sounding distorted. That said, the 600's (particularly) the 603's sound very...
I toiled over which system to buy before November 15th. I wanted the PS2 for GT3 and Metal Gear 2. There were not a lot of Xbox titles I wanted to play. However I ended buying the xbox for the future investment, and actually along the way discovered how much I like sports games on the Xbox. I...
Nice to see you have pictures showing just how awesome your system is Trev! :emoji_thumbsup: :)
Words and Pictures alone, can not convey the magnitude and sonic power of Trev's system. To say the sound field is Huge would be an understatment, it is one impressive set-up!
We played the...
Thanks Arthur!
Well I contacted Madcatz regarding my defective Breakout box/cable in the Ultra kit(s) not passing DD 5.1. It seems it was a problem they have recently discovered, and have since corrected it.
I was told by customer service that I would be receiving a new breakout box/cord ASAP.
I'm really starting to enjoy this game. I know it's not as legendary as GT3 A-spec, but it really fills the void nicely.
One thing I been having a blast with is all the ripped tunes I have placed on the hard drive to play as I'm racing. Sure a person can just put a CD in your stereo for...
Adding Project Gotham Racing in with Halo makes the $ price bearable.
I love PGR, and really love the integrated tunes I have ripped. All Cruising tunes from a mis-spent TeenAge youth, ahh the memories!
Then there are these tiles, I'm waiting for, while some are not exclusive, others will be...
Romier: I'm certainly envious of you, for that allows you to enjoy many things.
Personally, I could not play Metal Gear Solid (I tried) nor could I play Pong, even though I cut my teeth on that.
OK, maybe I could but i would have to be in the right mood or desparate. I liken it to DVD...
Thanks for clearing that up Steve :emoji_thumbsup: :emoji_thumbsup:
Arthur, It is not a second level menu rather an alternate menu, depending on how the Xbox senses and determines what type of dongle is connected at the port.
When I connect the Madcatz Ultra this is the Audio menu I get...
Arthur: Those Madcatz are definitely faulty. I just returned mine to Future Shop for a refund. I then seen they had some of these Ultra AV's priced at $19.99.
I asked why they were now priced so cheaply from the $39.99 I initialy paid. I was told it was a misprice and I would get it for...
John B, does your Xbox's control panel for Audio have all the settings available?
Example: Here is a picture of my now fixed set-up screen.

My problem was with a faulty 5.1 AV pack, I didnot know I was suppose to have all these options. With the faulty AV pack the only options...
Hey everyone, thanks for your suggestions and ideas!!
It turns out the problem was the AV pack.
I was using a Madcatz Ultra AV pack for S-Video and that was the problem, it was not passing a true 5.1 even though it states it is a 5.1 dolby digital pack.
I had an unopened Microsoft HD pack...
Scott FP: If I can't solve this I may have to...
Steve: I don't own the DVD pac, so I don't know.
Arthur: I don't think thats an option as I want to keep the box :)
This looks to be the same situation that I see on some DVD's from time to time. Even though it states it 5.1 on the cover...
Dave, if what your saying is true, then there has got to be something wrong with my set-up, as none of the titles I own will invoke the Dolby Digital setting on my Denon.
I have tried to manually set it as well as automatically, to no avail.
Thanks Guys!
Max, Currently I have:
Halo
Project Gotham Racing
Munch's
DoA3
NHL 2002
So based on what your saying, none of them are known as Dolby Digital?
The Dolby Digital Light is not illuminated, however, "Lock" and "Auto" is on my receiver. I have enabled it on my receiver...
Hey all,
I have my Xbox connected to my Denon 3300 AVR with the optical Toslink.
I have enabled the dolbu digital function in the Control menu.
Why is it that my Denon only sets up a Dolby Prologic signal and not DD5.1?
Thanks,
I won a small order of BurgerKing fries and the piss me off gummed up case. I would gladly trade the fries for a new case

I knew there was something about the image that didn't look right, though I couldn't put my finger on it.
I watched it on my 36" XBR and I thought the image looked soft or defocused. I was contantly adjusting my calibrated set to achieve a picture that did not annoy me. Unfortuantely I was...
What, now Komani is leaving??? Where's the URL for this?
That is another reason I pre-ordered, based on the promise of Metal Gear X and progressive DVD.
This deal is sounding worse all the time

I for one am kinda pissed about this just because of the principle.
I pre ordered based on a set of expected specifications. Sure my main reason is to play games{that are going to look stunning), however I can't help feel as if I've been duped somehow.

Great story Ron, Often I'm asked to recommend a starter system to co-wokers of friends. The problem I have had was not knowing how one of these lower cost system could sound.
I full realize that most times the general populace does not require the level of equipment that most folks on the...
