I have noticed a slight noise from the back of my new Anthem 720. I am assuming this is fan noise? It doesn't hum all the time so I assume the fan only comes on when needed. It is not super noticeable until you are up close. I'm wondering if this is the norm?

My old Oppo 93 died so I bought a new Yamaha BD-A1060. The Yamaha does everything but DVD A's. I have quite a few from the old days. I looked online and someone said they do play DVD A's. Sure enough when I fired one up it played as a multi-PCM through my new Anthem. This is exactly what...

Picked this up when my Oppo's sound quit. Does everything but DVD-A (but it does DVD A with some tweaking with the PCM - weird, but that format is so old who knows what's going on. Can some blu-rays play DVD A's via PCM?) Seems HDMI cables have changed everything. Anyone had experience with...

Added a couple of upward firing Elac Atmos speakers to my system. My receiver is an Anthem MRX 720. The system is a 5.1.2 . However the new Atmos speakers always seem to be on even when not listening to Atmos audio. The tech said it is normal for the Atmos speakers to mirror the fronts when...

Pulled the trigger and replaced my old Marantz with the new Anthem 720. I pretty much went all in and spent over six grand getting a professional installation done - adding the Anthem, some new Elac Atmos speakers, Apple TV, Sonos, etc. as well as the renovations to go with it. I kept my...

My wife and I have downsized from a 5000 square foot house (kids now gone) where I had a very nice home theatre. I put it together myself in the living room but it did the trick. We are now in a 1150 square foot high rise condo. Incredible view but obviously downsized dramatically. Is it now...

I talked to my home theatre guy and instead of a new Marantz he's talking me into a new 720 Anthem for my new home theatre in my condo. I have no idea about this product, and was wondering if someone out there might be familiar. I looks like it has all the bells and whistles but is worth about...

Haven't updated my equipment for a long time, and should have asked this question here. I want to buy a new Marantz SR 5011. Does it support SACD's and DVD Audio and how do I make the connection through my Oppo BDP-93? Thanks for your help.

Just moved into a new condo. Need to upgrade my old Marantz. It has to support DVD Audio/SACD, and move up to Dolby Atmos capability. I have all other equipment except for the receiver and Atmos speakers. Haven't posted for a few years. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Is it true that...

Just bought a new 60" 4K TV. Been out of the mix for about 20 years. My old Toshiba rear projection gave up the ghost. I have a Marantz 7300 (love Marantz) and an Oppo BDP 93 ( I have a lot of DVD Audio and SACD discs). I'm thinking of going all in again and was wondering about the new Dolby...

Anything to their HDMI cables and their upscaling capabilities?

My old Toshiba rear Projection HDX 82 finally gave out. About twenty years old. Best set I've ever had. I have been out of the market so long, I 've forgotten what to look for. What I have seen is a 55 inch Samsung 7000 series. Anyone give me a verdict on these things? Much appreciated.

Wondering why there is no talk of The Returned here? Was this strictly a Canadian North American debut? The series was made in France in 2012 (only eight episodes - subtitled). It is one of the best, and creepiest, television series I have ever seen. I have heard they are crying out for a second...

I've been out of the audio/'video loop recently. Fool as I was, I have been wasting too much time watching HDTV and DVD's! But, alas, my Toshiba 4800 gave up the ghost, so I broke down and bought the above Oppo. This player has been great so far! However, I have a couple of hookup questions...

What is the native video resolution for a Toshiba 32HL66 - 720P or 1080i? The manual gives me no clue.

My Toshiba 4800 is getting long in the tooth. I need a new DVD player that can also play DVD Audio as I have quite a stack of titles. Anything looking good out there? Anything that does the above and also High Definition DVD's? But what about price? Is this strictly for millionaires?

I bought a new 08 Ford Escape a couple of weeks ago, and it came with 6 free months of Sirius Sat. Radio. I was wondering what a subscription to the service will cost me when my six months end?

I just bought a 32" Sharp High Def LCD for the bedroom. Picture is great when hooked up to my high def cable box with HDMI cable. However there seems to be one annoying white pixel when the screen is dark. As I have not owned a LCD before, I was wondering if this is normal. When watching T.V...

I am going to build a sound room off my living room. It will be 17 or 18 feet by 10 feet. What are the pros and cons of windows? I have a 4 ft. by 5 ft. window that will be taken out to build it and was going to put it in there?? I have a 57 inch Toshiba high definition T.V. but want to put in...

Just listened to the Led Zepplin DVD (two discs - not sure when released). The most interesting part of the visuals was the comparison between disc one and two. In disc one (recorded at Albert Hall in 1970) the guys were not polished yet - their hair was long and unkempt and their clothing...

I bought this new Velodyne DLS - 4000R. Great sub! But it brings up an interesting problem. With my old JBL I just fired up the Sound & Vision Disc to calibrate it, then left it alone. With the new sub there are four presets, and sub up and down volume. Now when I switch between sources (eg. a...

I've got a JBL 10 inch downfiring sub. It's a couple of years old and I'd like to move up to the above sub. Its selling at the local A&B Sound for $777 CAN. The guy said th price is guaranteed so that I could get some money back after the inevitable Christmas sale. How is this sub? I'd like to...

Anyone know if tomorrow's game is going to be broadcast in HDTV?

I would like to crank up the LFE for movies, but leave the proper settings for music. On my JBL this means going to the back of the sub to adjust - then hope that I reset it right. Any subs out there at a reasonable price to fix my problem?

I like to crank up the LFE for movies, but like to keep it on its proper settings for music. This means I have to go to the back of my JBL to adjust the bass. Any subs out ther in around the five hundred dollar range with front switch to take care of this problem?

My speakers are all Missions - but I have a JBL sub. Any need to switch to a Mission sub? What are they like?

What's with these Trailer Park Boys repeats? I thought we were in a new season.

I presently have a Toshiba 4800, but was considering the above unit- mainly for the SACD. Any other bells and whistles on the Marantz to make the switch worthwhile?

Was wondering if anyone uses the Theatrewide 3 option? The other modes all have purposes - can't figure this one out.

Kind of out of the loop up here, but does anyone know when this show is starting its new season? Thanks.
