    Toshiba SD-3750 plays sound on some discs not others

    Decision Time: Onkyo 601 or HK225

    Ok, thanks to your help, I have narrowed my decision down to these 2 receivers. I just wanted to get your last minute thoughts regarding these 2 receivers so that I can pick one of them. I am running PolkRM6005's, in a 14X16 room, with a 47' HDTV. Any thoughts based on your experience?

    AVR-125 vs AVR-325

    Hello all, I'm looking to get a new surround receiver and I'm leaning towards the HK line. The AVR-125 is easily in my budget and I think would suit my room (14X14) and speakers (Polk RM6005) just fine. BUT (there's always a BUT!) everyone on this board seems really high on the 325. Is there...

    I can hear other people, but they can't hear me. If I play some other game (Whacked etc.) everyone else can hear me. Is there a setting that I need to change? I'm new to GR, so please be specific. Thanks!

    How do I pick DVD's so that they view optimally on my 42H82?

    In other words, What type of movies do I buy so that there is no adjusting to be done? So far I have tried Monsters Inc and Behind Enemy Lines and they both needed some sort of zooming done. The Behind Enemy Lines says that it is Anamorphic...ummm OK, I give...what the heck does that mean?
