    Help needed for new HT: Pioneer 811 vs. Onkyo

    Since you say you are new and the room is small ,get the onkyo 650. When you are ready for something better and you know your way around home theater better you can always move the 650 into the bedroom. This is a great little system to start with, you won't be disappointed.

    Help - Pioneer VSX-D811S and mono vcr

    use a "Y" connector from the vcr audio out , run a cable to each audio in on your rec.,it will still be mono ,but you should hear it thru a least the front three altough it may only come thru the center channel. If so use the advanced mode to "expand the sound".

    Newb question: How do I just watch TV through my receiver?

    Lanny, you have to run it into the cable box and run the video output to the tv, the audio outputs go to the rec.inputs from the cable box, or run the coax into the tv,if the tv has audio outputs run these to the rec.Use the input for video 1 . I think these are your only two options.
