    Denon 4802 with Atkis touch screen remote

    Thanks for the info Sam, good to know. Since my Pronto just died :( , I won't sell the Atkis separately. I have another lower end Denon upstairs that isn't in use at all, so I thought I'd have a better chance of selling the 4802. If it doesn't sell it'll stay in the bedroom. Thanks also for...

    Denon 4802 with Atkis touch screen remote

    For those of you that know Denon, the 4800 series is second from top of the line. I have an older 4802 that is in perfect condition. It's been setting in my bedroom for about 8 years. The Atkis remote works perfectly as it's had little use. (I have two pronto's I've been using.) It is 7.1...

    B&W CM series Home Theater Speakers

    These speakers look and sound incredible. The midrange drivers are coned in Kevlar, so they're pretty bullet proof. They are in mint condition - not so much as a scuff. I purchased them at the Modia Home Theater Store, brought them home, unpacked them and put them in the living room where...

    McIntosh MS-300 Music Server

    I sold that about a year ago and took the ad down. The forum must have had some kind of screw up if that ad still exists. Sorry.

    Magnaplanar (Maggies) 5 speaker system for sale

    The MG 12's are sold. I still have the CC3 center channel and the MG 1.6 fronts. Note on the "frayed" spot on the bottom left 1.6: "Rubbed" would have been a better term. It is barely noticable and not something that will "run" and get larger. The pic is a close up and still hardly noticable...

    Marantz DV9500 DVD Player for sale

    This unit was the flagship Marantz player when I bought it. It excels at sound output, be it DVD Audio, DTS CD, SACD or DVD's! It has HDMI output, and upscales to 1080i from standard DVD's. Another member of the forum and I A/B'd it against an HD player and the picture was hard to tell which was...

    New Panasonic DMP-BD10a Announcement - $599 - 5 free BDs

    Aha! While I'd pulled down the owners manual for the Denon DVD-3800BDCI, Sony's ES Blu-ray player and others, they all stated (or showed charts of output formats) that non of the HD audio formats were output through multi-channel analog. This Panny apparently is so new, Panasonic doesn't have...

    New Panasonic DMP-BD10a Announcement - $599 - 5 free BDs

    It's my understanding that no player on the market currently outputs the HD audio formats through multi-channel analog. Copy protection is the reason I understand . That's why I'm holding out - don't want to have to upgrade my Sunfire Ulimate II receiver. Rumor has it Sony will be coming out...

    Marantz DV-9500

    Sorry guys - been busy. Since I put the Sunfire Ultimate and Magnaplaners in the living room, all my (4) systems get the hand me downs. Lots of config work. No, the Marantz doesn't do this either. I also miss the "autostart" option on my little Zenith. This feature would find the first...

    Marantz DV-9500

    In response to the request of EricRWem from another thread, here are my observations of the Marantz DV-9500: This comes after my purchasing and returning a Denon DVD-3910 because the picture wasn't nearly as good as my Zenith DB-318. The 3910 also dropped sound 3 times during my test passages...

    First Impressions of the Denon DVD3910

    Eureka! I found it - the ultimate DVD player! Yes, it's the Marantz 9500. Picture blew me away from the start - better than the Zenith DB318 by a wide margin. Sound rivals the Denon 3910 on movies and I believe a shade better on DVD Audio and SACD. (I understand guys are buying this unit for...

    First Impressions of the Denon DVD3910

    EricRWem: My TV does not display 720P at all. (This is my living room system which has the Mitsu 73713 - not the Samsung DLP which of course does do 720P). So I believe I had all variables minimized as I was sending a 1080i signal updscaled through the player in both cases. With this...

    First Impressions of the Denon DVD3910

    EricRWem: Actually I was talking about upconverting over component on the Zenith vs. upconverting over DVI on the Denon! (1080i in both cases - same TV) Frankly, the Denon is going back today. It is that bad. I have, at the moment, 6 DVD players here and my Kenwood DV6050 is considerably...

    First Impressions of the Denon DVD3910

    EricRWem: I have both players (read post above) and IMHO the Zenith DVB318 is FAR superior to the Denon on video using component connections on the Zenith. From all the threads I've read, the Zenith actually has better video through component than DVI, so I never bothered to connect it via DVI.

    First Impressions of the Denon DVD3910

    I just bought a Denon DVD 3910 based on what I read here. The sound IS awesome, but the picture sucks! I have 2 Zenith DVB318's - one hooked to a Samsung 43" DLP and the other was replaced by the Denon on my Mitsubishi 73713. I'm using the DVI connection, and the picture on the Matrix is BAD...

    FS: Toshiba 65HX81 (HDTV)

    Got upgradeitis over the Holidays - now I need to sell my Toshiba HX81 HD Widescreen. Original cost was $3500 (plus tax and warranty). It's 2.5 years old and I'm asking a firm $1500. The cabinet has is not marred and the TV works perfectly. Obviously this needs to be a local pickup. This is...

    Allen, All seriousness aside, go listen to some M&K's before you buy. I was getting a case of upgradeitess, and demo'd some Sonus Faber's ($15,785 for the set), also brought home to demo a set of speakers I've loved for years - Vienna Acoustic Mozart's (front L/R), Maestro (Center) and...

    Hey the White van guys tried to sell speakers to me. Ha, ha, ha

    HOLY CRAP! I'm glad you posted this - I too was approached in the Home Depot parking lot at Howard and I35 - not having heard of this, I immediately called the police on my cell phone (while they were soliciting me) to report thieves selling stolen goods from a "white van."!!! Yes, they left...
