I am looking into moving my current Xbox from my Hitach 32UDX10S to a monitor upstairs on my computer. I would like to maintain the possibility of utilizing my games at 480p, with the ability to use the capabilities of the Xbox 360 at 1080i. Is this possible? From what I have gathered, I...

I need a new 2.1 speaker setup for my home PC. I had a Monsoon Planar Media 9 set up, and it sounded fabulous. Lightyears beyond the Cambridge SoundWorks cube and sub package. Anyway, I need to get a new 2.1 system as my Monsoon set up has died. I'd like to spend around 50 bucks, but if a...

Hello. Within the last week I noticed a discoloration near the upper right hand corner of the TV screen of my Hitachi 32UDX10S. It appears to give the picture a purple-ish hue in that 2 inch in diameter oval. I do have Paradigm Studio 60's unshielded on the sides, but moving them have not...

I'm building my own speaker stands and a TV stand to match. I had planned on using MDF to put this together, but I have no idea what I'm going to use to do as Mick and Keith ask us to do... "Paint it Black" My Studio 40's are the black laminate so the finish should work well with a...

Currently, in my home we are set up for Digital cable through Adelphia, and we "renting" (?) a box through them (which seems a prerequesite for having digital cable). I have more than one TV, and I'd like to add the channels/capabilities to my other TVs but I'd rather not pay an extra $6.50 a...

I'm thinking about making a purchase on Audiogon for a Paradigm Studio CC. It has only been used a week, but I am curious as to what the general consensus is on purchasing used speakers. For some reason I am more hesitant about purchasing a used speaker than a used electronic component...

In the next two weeks I'll be purchasing some Paradigm Studio 40's and I will need to place them on stands. After doing some extensive searching it appears the best way to go is with a column or two filled with lead or sand to dampen reverb. Well, this would be fine if my fiancee (FAF) did...

I'm picking up my new 3803 tonight. Any tips for breaking in this beauty? I had planned on running the receiver with the TV for a couple days straight. Would this be the best way to go?

I'm picking up new fronts for my 3803 and I've heard good things about the Paradigm. But, I can't A/B them because my dealer only has the Studio 20's. How would you classify the sound of each of these, and in which direction would you go if the price difference was $170 w/o stands. (I think I...

Ok I went down to Tweeter. Listened to the RB3 and the RF3II and came away quite impressed with the bookshelf model. Now I also understand the RB5 has an 8" woofer compared to the RB3 which has a 6.5" woofer. Has anyone auditioned these two bookshelves, and what were your impressions...

I'm going to be picking up a Denon 3803 in a couple of months, and I'd like to get a couple speakers to utilize 7.1. Currently I have the Polk RM6600 sat/sub package and I am happy with it, however I can see where more mid-bass would be helpful. I'm thinking about adding a nice pair of floor...

Apparently somebody got their hands on the 3803 and posted their impressions here I'd be interested if anyone else has run across this much desired unit.

I'm going to be moving towards a 7.1 setup, and I'd like to upgrade my speakers at the same time. Currently, I have the Polk RM 6600 satellites with the Polk 350 sub. I plan on picking up the Denon 3803 shortly, which then leaves me with the "chore" of moving towards 7.1. My primary goal is...

Quick question. Can you use more than one video output out of the Onkyo 600? For example, could I have my component output (from the receiver) hooked to video 1, composite monitor output to video 2, and the s-video monitor output to video 3? I realize this receiver does not upconvert...

I am purchasing a new receiver very shortly, and I am making the jump to 6.1. I'd like to have the rear center channel to match the other speakers. I'd also consider a single RM6600 satellite. Please PM me if you have something to offer.

I'm looking at the new 1803 and 2802 for my new receiver, but I'm not sure what these will offer for picture quality for my progressive sources. I have a Xbox and a Panasonic CP-72 running to my Hitachi 32UDX10S, but I need a receiver to do the component switching as this TV only has one...

In looking for a new receiver I noticed that some have 192 khz/24 bit D/A converters and others have 96 khz/24 bit D/A converters. What exactly would the audible difference between these two DACs? For example, I'm looking at the Onkyo 600 (with 192 khz DACs for the front 2 channels and 96...

I'm looking at picking up the Denon 1803 in a couple weeks, but I was curious if this model supported on screen display. After looking over the Denon website it appeared that none of their models listed OSD as a feature on any of their receivers. So, do any Denon receivers have OSD, and...

I'm moving to a 6.1 receiver. But, why do I want a rear center channel? What does it do? This may be a newbie question, but I have done a lot of searches and received no response.

I am going to upgrade to a 6 channel receiver and I have the Polk Rm6600 (5 satellites as well as the PSW 350). I'd like to know what you would suggest in getting to serve as the rear center channel? A 6th RM6600 satellite direct from Polk, or A nice new center channel for the front, and...

Ok I want to get a new receiver that not only has DPL II, but also component switching for my Hitachi 32UDX10S. I've been looking at the Denon 1603/1803 or the Onkyo 600. I really don't see the need to move beyond the 400-500 dollar range, and each seem to have what I'd like. I don't know a lot...

I need a power strip, and I can get a great deal on Monster products. However I've heard that since they are built to fail, other brands might be a better option for the price. I'd like to stay under 60 bucks or so, but I wondered if anyone could recommend a strip or two. What should I be...

Hope you all can point me in the right direction... I currently have an XBOX and a JVC XV501BK (a 1st or 2nd gen DVD player), and will be displaying their images on my new Hitachi 32UDX10S. I realize that neither DVD player produces a progressive scan quality image, but my understand that the...

Hey all, This is my first post on the forum, so hopefully someone can help me out. I just brought home a Hitachi 32UDX10S, and hooked up my XBOX with the High Definition pack with some 80 buck Monster component cables substituted for the MS ones. Ok, here's the question... Since this...
