The USB port on my old 570 broke off the circuit board and I have a new cable box, so I am in the terrible situation of having 2 remotes :angry: From what I can tell, the smart does everything I need although the recharable battery of the Ultimate is nice, but not worth the extra $220 and I...

I want to use the headphone jack on my 5th gen iPod and my iPhone to connect to the receiver through a headphone to RCA cable (from Blue Jeans). What should I plug it into? My options are phono, TV/CD, PC, Cable/Sat, VCR/DVR, BD available. I think phono has no preamp, but the rest do or are they...

I ordered a bunch of speakers cables for BlueJeans (front L/R/C and Rear L/R). It is just over 50 feet total and I ordered them with banana plugs. Well, now as I am trying to connect them, the banana plugs are all too big for EVERYTHING! They don't fit the Onkyo receiver, any of the Klipsch...

Ok, I did a quick search, but did not find what I was looking for. I have a few questions about speaker specs from manufacturers. 1. Power handling. Some will list 50-200 max 150. What does that mean? I'm pretty sure I understand the upper limit, but the lower limit is where I am confused. Does...

Sorry if this is the wrong section. I want to try to get some short HDMI 1.4 cables to go from receiver to bluray/cable box, etc. I don't need 3 foot cables, I really only need about 6-18 inches. Does anyone make 1.4 cables that short? I don't see them anywhere. Thanks

Below is a quick diagram of my living room. It is 90% of the time just my wife and I to watch TV or a movie, so not worried about the people on the side wall. The diagram is not 100% to scale either, but gives the locations of couches and speakers. I have a Def Tech Mythos Seven center, it is...

What is the best way to get music to play from an iPod or iPhone? Is it to use a headphone to headphone cable and connect it to the front of my receiver? Is it headphone to RCA and connect that to the receiver? Is it a 30 pin doc that connects to the receiver? Also, would it be the same for both...

Hello all, I rarely post on here, but have been watching the forum for nearly a decade. I finally have a permanent home to build a home theater. I am an audiophile and have done a lot with my car. My friend that owns the shop that works on my car does a lot of high-end home audio systems in...

Well, I hate to say this, but I am not buying Onkyo any more. In the last 10 years, I have had 3 of their receivers. I forget the models on the first two, but the third was the SR 803. I enjoy their products when they work, but only when they work. The first one I replaced because it had no...

Hi All, I have an Onkyo SR-803 that is about 2 months out of warranty. I just started getting static out of the front right speaker during high frequencies. I have tried multiple speakers, wires, and input devices and still get this which leads me to believe that it is something in the...

Ok, I bought the 52 inch model of the JVC HD-ILA last week. I am not totally happy with the picture quality though. Sometimes the colors seem very "splotchy" and there is alot of fuzzyness around borders or major color tranistions. I have the Sony 400 DVP-CX-985V DVD player. It is connected...

I was looking at ebay and saw "Fluance" brand speakers. I have never heard of them. I checked their web page http://www.fluance.com/ and the reviews are great, but then again, who prints negative reviews on their product page. Kevin

I am looking at getting a universal remote, something like a Theatre Master or Sony or Marantz. I want a universal remote that will work with EVERYTHING and do ALL THE FUNCTIONS of each item, I would also like one that I can program using my computer instead of numerical codes and pointing...
