TV Repair guy just left indicating that my 10 year old Mitsu 63" RPTV needs about $500 of work. This, of course, is a rough estimate and it cost me $100 to get it. It was calibrated by Greg Loewen. My room is appox 13 x 20 with a viewing distance of 14 feet. There is one sliding door with...

I have a combined family/HT. Three walls are panelling and 1 is brick (an acoustical nightmare). I built several absorption panels that helped a bit but the WAF was not good. To make matters worse, the wife purchased several movie poster and had mounted in glass frames. She did not want to...

I tried asking at Best Buy and got the answer I expected "Sure you can but I can't explain it". Here is the question: I have a desktop and a work notebook. I have them networked together using a router/switcher. The notebook operates on a VPN so the notebook and desktop cannot talk to each...

Anyone know were I can get about 50' of this to make speaker cable?

Coming close to making my final selection. Looking between the studio 40's and 60's. In my auditioning, the 60's were just a tad deeper than the 40's. Not a big deal as I will be using a sub for much of my listening. Room size about 14 x 25. Receiver is Denon 4802. Listening - 75%...

Somehow I have screwed up my id's. When trying to switch Id's it returns to the current id. In order to switch, I have to go into manage ID, change startup ID, and restart outlook. Any ideas?

I have the 65819. It was calibrated by Chuck Williams (DC). I love the picture. My rant is on the user controls. If the set loses power, it defaults all settings to the factory levels. This is for each input. Fortunately, the calibration settings zero out most of the slider bars. However...

I heard a story in the news today that someone down south used his computer to generate bar code price tags. He used these tags to buy Bose speakers at a Sams Club for something like a 93% discount. Sounds about right to me ;)

Hooked up X box with toslink. When X-box is turned on, I get audio information. This tells me my connection is good. As soon as I insert a game, I get increadible noise and the receiver shuts down. Very frusted....:angry: Anyone ever heard of this? (Yes, I did enable 5.1 and dts)

Posted in another thread with no response. Maybe someone here can help. Have a Denon 4802 set up with 6.1 speakers. Looking to add a sub to the rear. The amp has 2 sets of pre-outs for the rear. Does the speaker size (in setup) dictate what info gets sent to the pre-outs? Can I use a...

I traded my Denon Atkis RC 8000 for a Pronto TSU2000. You can officially add one more item to my ever-growing list of things that will never be complete. I have spent many many hours online using the pronto edit. Now I know what you Pronto guys have been talking about. This thing is only...

I was recently fortunate enough to upgrade with a Denon 4802 and Vel HGS-12 sub. :) I bought 6 sets of banana plugs (6.1 setup) for the speakers to receiver. The salesman was really pushing me to buy banana plugs for the speakers as well. He was encouraging me to buy the monster connectors...

I recently acquired a Denon 4802. It did not come with a remote (which operates most of its functions). In lieu of spending $450 for Denon's remote, I would like to go the Pronto route. Anyone know if the Pronto is pre-programmed for this receiver?

My wife has been trying to get me to build an enclosed porch off of our family room (home theater). She advises that the rear sliding door needs ample shading so we can install a FPTV in the family room! How is that for negotiation. ------------------ I am a meat popsicle.
