If it is a power issue you would expect it to come and go. Try your system when he isn't home and see how it performs. Bob

You may have already tried this, but put the left speaker on the right cable and vice-versa just to make sure that it is a speaker problem. Bob

It's a known problem with DLP TVs. If your rcvr supportws audio delay you can pretty much make it go away. I have the same TV in 50 inch, and it is the only fault I have with the TV. Bob

I have a 1050 and love it. It's a bit dated but if you can find a used one it would be a good buy. It has good power for most people and is well built. Bob

I think that the big question is the cost. How quickly will they move down in price to be near the price of today's DVDs? Bob

DVDs will stay around a long time. It's a case of diminishing returns. DVD video and audio is much better then VHS, and pretty much everybody can see it. HD DVD is better then DVD, but it is not nearly as obvious. For many people DVD is good enough. Until the prices are the same, a lot of people...

Looks nice! How did you make your speaker stands? Are they PVC pipe? Bob

At that price range I would buy one of the Sonys. If you look around you can probably find them on sale somewhere. Keep it for a year or two until you can afford to upgrade to SVS or similar, and sell the Sony on ebay. That's what I did, and I ended up losing less then $100 after having it for...

Have you calibrated it with an SPL meter and a calibration disk? If not you should as this can make a big difference also. Bob

Here is a writeup on what I did. email me if you have any questions. Bob I recently finished installing a whole house audio system. It turned out great and I thought I would describe it and give some pointers. My system is based on the Russound CA-6.4i multi room controller. This system...

I would try a couple of things before returning it. -Leave the speaker wires conencted and put the right speaker where the left is and vice versa. Rerun the tests and see what happens (Now the right amp is running the same speaker, but it is on the left) -Disconnect the speaker cables and...

Will it convert from composite to S-Video? My parents cable box only supports composite, and they would like to switch video through the receiver. They would hook up the DVD via S, Cable and VCR via composite, and hook the recvr to the TV via S. Thanks Bob

Have you tried another DVD player? I thought that some disks were bad, but it turned out that my older player was starting to fail. It would play some disks and not others. My new player has no problems with the same disks. Bob

I haven't tried it, but you can get more info at www.xmfan.com Bob

They are free. Bob

OK, How far can you run analogue audio? Is 100 ft a problem? Bob

They're analogue audio cables. I would like to be able to listen to TV sound in other rooms. Bob

I have RCA cables for audio from my cable box to my TV. Could I get a y adapter and run one set to my TV, and the other to my whole house audio system? If so, how far can I run RCA audio cables? I would probably need 100ft. Where is a good source for that length? Thanks Bob

I think that Sound of Music and Lawrence of Arabia came out very nice for 40ish year old movies. Bob

I have an Outlaw rcvr, and that is where the problem is. You can read more on their web site. Bob

Has anybody had any audio problems on Harry Potter COS? I bought a copy and tried to play it, and audio would play for about 10secs, and then silence for 3 secs, then good for 10 or 20secs and then a 3 second drop out and again and again. Video was fine. I returned the disc to Costco and got...

I have the Outlaw and really like it, especially if you want 5.1. Bob

I thought the same thing at first until I realized that there was a power switch that wasn't on. :) Also, calibration makes a big difference as already noted. Bob

Santa brought me a pair of Studio 60s to be my new mains. I moved my 20s to be the surrounds, and I have an SVS 20-39PCi sub. I was looking for some advice on config: -Should I run the 60s as large or small? I had been using the 20s as the front and ran them as small, but I'm thinking that I...

How should I attach Paradigm Studio 20s and 40s to stands? Is double sided tape enough, or should I use screws? I'm a little afraid to drill into the speakers. I have the 20s now, and am looking at getting some 40s to use as the fronts. They seem to big to use just tape. Thanks Bob

I had one and really liked it. Eventually I sold it and bought an SVS which I really really love. The Sony will be a big improvement over not having one even without the mods. I'd say go ahead and get it, and try it. Later if you feel that you need to, go ahead and try the mods. I never did...

It was the regular speaker wire. Bob

I was at Home Depot today to get speaker wire, and the lady said that they didn't sell 12g anymore, and had put it all on clearance. Turned out that they had 1 broken spool left and I got 150ft for $17. :) Bob

Get the Sony. If you look around you can buy it for around $150, and it sounds a whole lot better then no sub. Save your money for a while, and eventually replace it with something better, and sell the Sony for $75. Bob
