    Does anyone know if my B&K 307's fire wire port will work with net command?

    Thanks guys. I guess I'll have to wait for the upgrade. Till then my wife will just have to bite the bullet and switch inputs to watch dvds.

    I Just received my new tv (ws55511)a few days ago and havn't set any of the net command features up yet (mostly usefull for my wife)and I was wondering if the fire wire input on the back of my BK 307 will work with mits's fire wire. That would be cool and I will go and buy the wire tomarrow if...

    HD format problem

    I've tried s video and coax to fix this problem and they both work. I've hooked up a lot of home theatres for customers and found that coax for some reason looks waaayyy better then s video at least on these san diego cox digital cable boxes. try both and see which looks better.

    does any other toshiba hdx82 owners see this problem?

    well I just couldn't live with the line in the tv any more so I exchanged it for the second time but this time got a mitsubishi ws55511. I found out this is the model that's picture most resembles the picture of the diamond series because it has similar crt's. It's crt's are upgrades from the...

    does any other toshiba hdx82 owners see this problem?

    This is my second set (50hdx82)from tweeter and both had the exact same problem. When all lights are turned off and a very bright seen comes on cable or dvd (like LOTR beginning of CH 18)I see a faint horizontal line 1/3 of the way down from the top of the screen. It is exremely annoying once...

    Mitsubishi vs. Hitachi HDTV RP

    I work with these tv's and there is a Huuuuuge difference in picture quality between the 411 and 511. The 411 has 7" phosphor electrostatic CRTs and the 511 has microfine plus CRTs. I called the mits rep and he confirmed what we saw in our store. He said the quad field focus didn't really make a...

    Should I "E" focus or Manual/Optical Focus first

    usually if you do the e focus after the manual it will undo everything you did uless it memorizes it. just do manual.

    Pioneer Elite vs. Mitsubishi Diamond

    I work at a similar retailer and our pioneer elite was right next to our diamond for two months. We finally had to move it back to the dark room because we couldn't sell it next to the diamond. With an HD signal the diamond was obviously crisper than the pioneer and it's colors were more...

    placing speakers against the wall?

    I have the vienna accoustic mozarts which sound awesome about 3 1/2 feet away from the wall but I moved and now have them up against the wall. They don't sound nearly as good! Of course the sound stage is not as deep as before but also vocals just sound flatter and raspier. Does any one have any...

    My receiver only has one set of analog inputs for dvd-a?

    What's a guy supposed to do if he wants to have dvd-audio and SACD? My receiver (b&k 305) only has one set of analog inputs. Is there any better solution than switching the wires every time?

    REL strata III VS. storm III?

    My speakers: I just got the Vienna acoustic mozarts which to me seem to be lean concidering the smallish drivers. I also just got a b&k 305 receiver which drives these speakers nicely. About the analog direct. Why is it good to bypass the sub's crossover? I'm not sure if I have analog...

    REL strata III VS. storm III?

    I am getting a REL but cannot decide which one. I've heard them both (strata and storm)at Tweeter electronics and liked them both. The strata sounded a little bit lacking when it came to techno but I am wondering if it would have a greater effect in my house (I will be using it 70% for music and...

    Too warm, need brightness!

    Try the kimber pbj interconnects. They are very detailed and some would say even bright. They will make a difference.

    My speakers play down to 40hz but my sub is crossed over at 50hz?

    There are five speakers, none of which are going through the sub so the main speakers are playing down to 40hz and the sub is definitely playing up to 50hz. My other speakers are set to small. I am only concerned about this problem for music. Like the Sneakers soundtrack's theme song looses...

    My speakers play down to 40hz but my sub is crossed over at 50hz?

    My speakers (ESS 10") play down to 40hz but my sub(energy ES12) won't crossover any lower than 50hz. This causes an overlapping bump that drowns out the detail of my main speakers. Do I need a reciever that has a built in crossover to fix this problem or should I just get a new sub?

    What Can I Do About An Audio /Video "Delay"?

    I've never heard of that before. Do you have really long speaker wires or the center channel delay set incorrectly?

    will a b&k 307 sound almost as good as stereo separates?

    To answer your question about my gear, I have some 10 year old ESS speakers that I am replacing this month with vienna acoustics mozart (front) and maestro (center). I have a toshiba SD 9200 dvd/cd player and I just sold my yamaha rxv-795 to try to raise some dough for the b&k or separates. I...

    will a b&k 307 sound almost as good as stereo separates?

    I am going to buy some good stereo separates and a mediocre receiver or a b&k 307. Will I here a big difference in cd play back? It would be so much easier to just get the b&k but I really want cd's to sound really good. What should I do?

    does the direct audio mode on tosh sd9200 make cd's sound better?

    I just bought a floor model toshiba sd-9200 dvd player for a good price. I was happy to discover it doesn't have the growling sound problem that many have expressed. My problem however has to do with the direct audio mode (this feature turns off the video circuits for better sound). My player...

    will a b&k 307 receiver sound as good as seperates for two channel

    I am seriously thinking about getting the B&K 307 receiver because of it's reputation for sound quality. I am very into two channel music and do not want to sacrifice any sound quality by getting a receiver. If a separate two channel amp and pre amp will sound significantly better I will go that...
