    FM Antenna

    Bob, I have an inexpensive radio shack omnidirectional antenna in my attic and it works just fine. Easily picks up stations 35-40 miles away. I used rg-6 coax for the run to the basement location where the receiver is. Bob K

    Speakers "popping" - seems to be power related...

    Does it happen when someone is using a cell phone? I had interference from my cell phone with my subwoofer. My installer used a shielded cable since it is at a preamp output level, but it didn't seem to work. I fixed it by replacing the shielded cable with RG6 shielded cable. No more...

    Denon LOST my 3800!

    Pioneer Elite Rear Projection TV's

    So would buying one now be unwise? How long does a RPTV usually last? I am making the move from a traditional CRT type to RPTV. Now I'm now sure what to do. Are there any other brands that you might recommend? I currrently have a Mitsubishi 35" tube which as served me well for 10 years. Comments...

    Pioneer Elite Rear Projection TV's

    Thanks Skyler, I went to the Forum you suggested and looked at the posts. Do you know if Pioneer has determined what the root cause is? It does look like they are trying a few different fixes without exactly knowing what causes the problem. Have you seen the problem on your set?

    Pioneer Elite Rear Projection TV's

    I am looking at purchasing a rear projection television for my home theater. I have lots of windows and I believe that rear projection will offer better contrast than a front projector. Does anyone have any comments about Pioneer Elite rear projection TV?

    Problem with Denon AVR-2803

    Try a set of headphones. If the receiver's high end is out then they shouldn't work either.

    In-wall speaker wiring

    This is from memory, so I'm not 100% sure that I'm right, but in wall speaker wire is designated as CL2. So any wire that is CL2 or CL3 or above is OK for in the wall use.

    Black or Silver?

    I agree with Rick_FL - - Black. In the early 70's I had a brushed aluminum Marantz 1060 integrated amp - was cool at the time. Back then you listened to records - some of you remember those big black discs (sometimes even other colors - even with pictures on them!) so other than listening to...

    IR Interference from Receiver

    Thanks for the idea of looking up Xantech's web site, Jerry. I don't know why I didn't think of it. Went to the Xantech web site and downloaded a pdf file for trouble shooting. Their advice was to put a 470 ohm resistor in parellel with the ground and IR signal line. I did that. Now I...
