    Recording Question

    I have recorded the Ohio State vs Michigan game on my cable company DVR and I have downloaded it through itunes on my computer. I want to burn the game to a DVD. I have been unable to do this on my computer. It appears that itunes has something in it's software that prevents this. If I buy a DVD...

    Denon 3802 or HK AVR 7200?

    I got the e-mail from One-Call about the sale on the AVR 7200. I am happy with my Denon, but I find myself considering an upgrade. I have a friend that is willing to buy my 3802, although we have not discussed price ($450?). Do you think it would be worth apx. $350 to upgrade? Also, what would...

    Considering a Samsung DLP?

    I am looking at purchasing the Samsung HLN5065W. I have been doing a little reading on LCDs and DLPs and the technology is impressive. I am curious if Samsung owners have been pleased with their purchase? Also, is anyone aware of a good on-line deal for one of these?

    I got it working. I didn't have the DVD player set up properly. Thanks for the advice. I like the DVD audio much better in DTS.

    Denon 3802 Owners - Which audio mode works best?

    Thanks for the advice. I am using an optical cable but I have not been using the DVD menu to select DTS before watching the disk. I will try this. I also realize that I may have to read the manual in greater detail. It is just such painful reading. If anyone in Central Ohio wants to come over...

    Denon 3802 Owners - Which audio mode works best?

    Just before Christmas I finally got my system set-up with the Denon 3802 and 7.1 Paradigm Studio speakers. It sounds great but I want to make sure that I am using the correct mode settings for music and movies. I think the Denon owners manual is difficult to understand and I would appreciate...

    Velodyne HGS-10 and HGS-12 sale prices at Onecall, good deal?

    For what it is worth, I have made three purchases from OneCall in the last two months and they have been great. Maybe I was just lucky but the items were very well packaged, delivered in several days, and the prices were great. I would not hesitate to buy from them again.

    Any thoughts, info on Mission or Monitor Audio?

    I purchased the 781's earlier this year and I have been very pleased with the performance. I have been using these in my family room for casual stereo listening. I am in the process building a home theater in my basement and just for fun I compared the Mission's to Paradigm Studio 40's. As...

    Polk owner looking for a change (focus: home theater)

    Can't you find the Polk LSI's for a lot less? A couple of on-line stores have the LSI 15s, FX, and Center for $1,997. How would the LSI's work with one of the M&K subs?

    Question for Axiom owners

    From anyone that ordered from the factory outlet. What types of "blemishes" did your speakers have? Did anyone consider returning their speakers and were there any problems that weren't purely cosmetic?

    Your thoughts on various speakers

    I made it out to the stores the other night and had a lot of success. We were able to listen to the Paradigm Studio 40s (wanted to hear the Studio 60s but they didn't have them in the store), Klipsch RF-3II, M&K 750 & 150s, and Polk LSI. The store that carries Def. Tech closed an hour earlier...

    A friend and I are leaving work early tomorrow and plan to visit several stores that carry Polk, M&K, Def. Tech, Paradigm, and Klipsch. I am bringing The Matrix, Mission Impossible, and several different types of music for the auditions. I only hope that we can get all of this in before our...

    Your thoughts on various speakers

    Marty: Thanks for the tip on Def. Tech. I auditioned them once for a very short period and I liked the sound but wasn't overly impressed. I didn't have time to listen to much music and Def. Tech has received some negative reviews for music. However, given that there is a Def Tech dealer only...

    Your thoughts on various speakers

    I have narrowed my speaker choices down several brands. I have been able to listen to some of these (Klipsh, Polk, Paradigm) but never at the same time which is making my decision difficult. I realize that speaker selection is a personal preference but I am still interested in various opinions...

    Mission 781 vs Polk Lsi 7

    On Sunday, I was in The Great Indoors with my wife and two kids (age’s 3 years and 8 weeks) looking for a new light fixture for our bathroom. On the way out, I couldn’t help but walk past the home electronics department. They were having a tremendous sale on close-out/floor model equipment...
