One way to do it is to plot as an XY scatter. If you want to see a line you can then add a polynomial trendline. It won't be perfect, but if you want to keep the days, it will always think the empty days are data points.

You can't do it by simply copying the files over, as the boot info won't be copied. The easiest way is to use a program like Norton's Ghost or PowerQuest's Drive Copy. There might be a freeware program available that will do this, but I can't think of any (nor have I searched - I use Ghost)...

I don't know too much about the X10 controls, but the best place to find info about the remote is: http://www.hifi-remote.com/forums/ I'm sure someone can help you there.

OK, I did a little more searching on the remote control. It is an OEM made by UEI, the same company that makes Radio Shack and One For All remotes. The JP1 connector really gives it away, as it is only found on UEI remotes. Both the Anthem and the Arcam remotes are made by UEI. Compare the two...

Well, I don't own the AVM-20, but the remote looks suspiciously like the famed RS 15-1994 (which I own). I was at a dealer a while ago that had the Anthem on display and I took a look at the remote. Opening the battery compartment, I saw the JP1 connector intact. Although I haven't heard of...

DOH! Sorry about that. I just got Kansas stuck in my mind and it was all over! Yeah, I know Kansas City is in Missouri. Heck I even know where Independance is. KC is still only a couple hours away from me. Yeah, I know all about specks of nothingness. I live in one. Takes me an hour and a half...

Brian, Kieth thanks for the good information. Nebraska and Kansas are pretty similar, so your experience Kieth is very helpful. I'm just getting tired of living in the middle of nowhere, and am thinking DFW area would be a little nicer. The humidity can't really be much worse than around here...

Hey all, I may have the opportunity to relocate to Allen, TX, just north of Dallas. I was hoping someone might be able to answer a few questions for me. I've lived in Austin for a little while when I was younger, so I am somewhat familiar with Texas. I remember bugs being pretty bad in Austin...

According to http://www.dvdrhelp.com/dvdplayers.p...arch&#comments it can. I don't know about bookmarks.

The kenwood would work just fine with two speakers wired in series connected to the surround back channel. This is exactly what the pioneer has prewired. If your price range is up to $500, then I would recommend the Sony DA2ES, the 4ES's little brother. It has the same processing power as the...

Brian, I have been researching the 2ES and 4ES for a while. As far as I have been able to tell, the processing section of the 2ES is nearly identical to the 4ES, which means that it will have the same bass management as well as EQ settings. The 4ES adds the seventh channel, and 10 more watts per...

NickSP and Jacques C, How much did you guys pay for the 4ES from Samman's? I just got an email quote of $639 shipped to Nebraska. Did you pay $620 shipped? I am convinced that the 4ES is the best receiver available for ~$650. Looking forward to getting one with my tax return. Jeff

Actually the reason I wanted an MTM for the center is more convenience than anything. I wanted to take an available crossover and use it for the center, so I wouldn't have to design a specific crossover for the center, as I have little experience in this area. I guess I was being a little...

Ok, so the problem is very real. Do commercial speaker builders who make these MTM centers just count on it that the people who use them will be sitting right in front of the speaker? Here is another theoretical question. If the interference between the two speakers occur at the frequency...

Patrick, thanks for the advice. I figured there was something to it, but wasn't sure. So is dispersion the main problem? Does that just mean that the off-axis response will be poor? I will have to see what turning my speakers does, but I've only got a small two way right now, so I'm not sure if...

I've been thinking about some options for building a complete set of HT speakers, and have been a little confused with respects to the design of the center channel. I was looking around and I found this link that tells us that MTMs are bad for centers (of course they push their own design). Is...

Stephen, While you are there take a look at the 45tx, if they have it. I've been looking for some opinions on it as well. It seems like a pretty good jump up with the Auto MCACC, RS-232 and USB ports. Please let us know how the new Elites compare with the 47/49 and the 811S/41. Jeff

Thanks for the scan Johnny, It is just what I was looking for. This is really interesting. The preouts are for surround back left and right. That would make it a 7.1 system if hooked up to an external amp. The question is, does the HE200 actually process in 7.1, or are those two preouts sending...

Ryan, I don't own the Panasonic, but it is very high on my list of potential purchases. I have been trying to find out as much info on them as possible before I jump in. I wish I could find one of these locally, but I live about an hour to an hour and a half away from any major town that may...

Ryan, crutchfield is usually a good source of information on equipment, but they don't have very good info on the Panasonic receivers. Which one are you looking at? The HE100 or HE200? They both have the same decoding capabilities as far as the different formats go. The only diference is that...

Saurav, thanks for the info, but you've lost me. Is an op-amp a type of transistor, or is a type of complete circuit? Where exactly would this circuit go? Before the Y-connection, or after the split in either the amp line or the preout line? And wouldn't this be an analog circuit instead of...

Again I appreciate the suggestions. Daniel, thanks for the warning, but I don't drink so I am probably OK there.:) If the LOC's expect a low wattage input, they probably won't handle 80-100W from a speaker output of a receiver. This really isn't about the money involved to possibly upgrade...

I appreciate all the responses. I am quite qualified myself at soldering any kind of connection (even fine pitch surface mount components with a scope) but locating the correct spot would be the difficult part for me. I have access to electrical techs at work who would be willing to help me out...

Is it at all possible to add preouts to a receiver that does not come equipped with them? Electronically, it would be just finding the location on the internal circuit boards where the appropriate stage is, and wiring in some RCA jacks, right? Or I am completely out in space here? Is there any...

Actually the H/K USB adapter can either pass the digital mp3 stream directly to use the receiver's processor (which I think only H/K's own receivers can do) or it will transcode the mp3 to PCM which can be input to any receiver with a digital in (it loos like it uses coax). Etronics has it for...

Try here: Link Removed or http://www.etronics.com/product.asp?...de=piovsxd811s Both are pretty good places to purchase from. Jeff

Totally missed Daniel's crossover spec. That's good. At least it is adjustable, unlike many of the Yamahas. The Pioneer has the same settings, so no difference there, but yeah I wish it had some lower settings. Seems like the only negative towards the Panasonic is the lack of preouts and the...

Thanks for the info Geoff. Does anyone actually have these receivers that can check into this stuff for us? I'm about 100 miles from the closest Best Buy or Circuit City, so I can't go check them out in person very easily. Boy, if these had preouts, OSD, and an adjustable crossover, I'd go...

I've been trying to find out as much about these panasonic receivers as possible. Hopefully those who have them can help me out. The one thing I have not found any information on is the sub crossover. I read that it has settings for large or small speakers, but does anyone know if the crossover...

John, let us know if it has an OSD, will ya?
