Hey folks. I'm about to start scanning all of my snapper covers and replacing them with keepcases. I used to have the scanning instructions from the old dvdcoverart.com site, but I'm misplaced them. Can anyone point me in the direction of those instructions, send them to me, or tell me where I...

I'm surprised that no one has started this thread by now. Anyway.... I really liked this episode a lot. It marked the return of the somewhat sinister Al and the continued emergence of the totally evil Cy Tolliver. You have to wonder how much time the Minister has left (not much), and how long...

I heard on the radio this morning that David Chase is vehemently denying stories that one of the "important" characters on the Sopranos will not survive the season. I know there's been some discussion here and on other forums regarding this possibility, and the radio story I heard this morning...

I did a search both here and on the Toshiba site, and came up with ZILCH! I saw one of these units at my local Sam's Club for $109 (it's also on the Sam's web site). It is not PS and does not support DVD-A or SACD, but it does play just about every kind of disk (DVD, VCD, Picture-CD, MP3, WMA...

I've gotten into the habit of taking the celo off my newly purchased DVDs immediately. I like the look of unwrapped DVD cases in my display, but I'm starting to rethink that approach. There have been several occasions when I've purchased (or received as gifts) an original-release DVD, only...

This show just keeps getting better and better. What the hell are Sark and Sloan up to? Who is blackmailing Sloan? Was the "item" (in the box) that Sloan received the genuine article? Will the CIA finally hire Will, because they realize that he's a damned good investigator? What the hell is...

Did a search and couldn't find anything on this topic in the MANY BR threads. I have the BR DC disk, which is supposed to be in Dolby Digital. However, once the movie begins my receiver switches to DPL-II. Regardless of what I try with both the receiver and the DVD player, I cannot get the...

I bought a new AVR-520 from JandR a couple of weeks ago and it's worked fine so far. I'm thrilled with it. But... There's been a lot written on this forum about the x20 auto-shutoff problem, so I thought I'd ask how many people have had one of these receivers for at least three months and...

I've had my new AVR-520 for a couple of weeks, and in the past day or two I've noticed an interesting problem (well, let's call it an "issue" for now). While watching DirecTV in Logic-7 mode, all of a sudden the surround speakers jump WAY up in volume, almost matching the center speaker. And...

In anticipation of receiving my new SVS 25-31PCi sub today, I'd like to ask for opinions on which demos y'all use to set up (or more accurately, to LOCATE) your sub. I've seen Saving Private Ryan mentioned in another thread, but are there other demo loops that are as good/better than SPR? And...

....'cause I am in dire need of BASS!!! John_VI Order# 2928 25-31PCi

Or maybe a better way to ask the question is: "For a measley $320 shipped (from onecall), is there any way I could possibly go wrong by buying this amp?" I just got a new AVR-520 and have it hooked up to a Def Tech speaker set-up (2006 mains, BP2X surrounds, C2 center). Since this receiver...

I've read on this forum that - at least for some DVD player/receiver combinations - it is best to use the analog outputs of the DVD player for playing CD's. Since I want to take advantage of the digital output for DVD's, would it be possible to hook the analog audio output to the CD input on my...

I'm in the process setting up my new AVR-520 and Def Tech speakers and would like to ask for opinions on bass management. Option #1: Def Tech recommended that I set the front speakers to LARGE and connect them to the receiver using only the speaker-level inputs, thereby letting the x-over...

I cancelled my order for the AVR-520 from eCost.com because of some seriously bad things I read about the site. Now I'm on the prowl again for a good place to buy an H/K AVR-520. The best price I've seen is $597 for a remanufactured unit at Harman Audio, the official outlet stores for Harman...

Now that I have my new Def Tech speakers on order (2006 mains, C2 center and BP2X surrounds), I'm going to need a new receiver to power them. The old Kenwood VR-309 is on it's last legs, and it doesn't have any pre-outs. I'm really impressed with both the Denon 3802 and the HK 520, but I'm...

I'm asking about terminals only, NOT specific types/brands of speaker cables. So.... Let's start with the assumptions that both the receiver(amp) and the speakers have 5-way, gold-plated binding posts and that you're using speaker cable that does NOT already have terminals installed. And...

Being an avid cigar smoker (I won't call myself an afficionado since I consider "those" people a bunch of snobs), I'm always in search of the perfect stogie for every occasion. And, like HT, once I find the perfect match I can only enjoy it for a few precious weeks until I find myself searching...

I just went to the SVS ordering page to see how much shipping would be when I order my s/w. And on the page after entering my address, etc, there was a space for entering a coupon number. Anyone know anything about coupon offerings from SVS? Is there a special deal for HTF members?

Took the advice of some folks here and went to listen to some Paradigm speakers yesterday. I went to the 6th Avenue Electronics store in Paramus, NJ where - to my surprise - they also carry Def Tech and several other brands including NHT. 6th Ave stores generally have some very nice...

Hello folks. Just found HTF recently and am enjoying learning about HT on an exponential curve!! I'm shopping for new HT speakers, but am not sure I'll have the money to buy the entire package all at once. I have a Kenwood VR-309 receiver (100x5, DD5.1, DTS) which is okay. But....my current...

I would like to purchase Def Tech speakers to upgrade my existing theater. Ideally, I would like a pair of BP-2006TL's, a pair of BP2X surrounds, and a ProCenter C2. I live in NY, about 60 miles north of NYC. Thanks!
