I'll use this to stream music from my iOS devices (iPad, iPhone) to my home theater/speakers!

Today I needed to take back my Kenwood VR-6060 to Best Buy due to an audio hiss and static problem. I had the Performance Service plan, and was fully expecting the store to send off my unit for repairs. This much was confirmed by the technician at the store. However, as soon as he went to the...

How do you find this? I have an analog radio shack sound meter and tripod, and I set all my speakers to 75db(even though it reccomends 85 db) using the Avia test tones(C weighting, slow response, reciever volume set to -12). I am running a Kenwood VR-6060 with JBL NSP-1's. That being said, am I...

This may be an unusual question, but I have always wondered about this. When you have a reciever on, but no sound signal is coming through(TV,DVD, Music, wtc) , should ANY sound be coming through the speakers? When I get close to my speakers, I can hear a distant hiss. Is this normal, or is it...

I had recently purchased a subwoofer cable(http://www.bestbuy.com/detail.asp?e=...t=783&scat=806), but after reading the primer here on HTF, I am now aware that connecting the cable to both the L and R LFE outputs on the sub is a better connection. Can anyone recommend a good quality Y-splitter...

Does anyone know what gauge this cable is(http://www.bestbuy.com/detail.asp?e=...t=783&scat=805) This is the type that they sell at best buys and circuit citys everywhere, but NOWHERE can I find what gauge it is, not even on the monster cable website! As sual, they give us all that...

Sorry, I was speaking of DVD-Audio. I don't have a "top-end" setup(just a Toshiba SD5700, a Kenwood VR-6060 reciever, and a JBL NSP-1 speakers), so I'll probably go with either Monster or Acoustic Research interconnects(unless anyone has specific suggestions/web links to better cables?). Thanks...

Jim, I understand what you are saying. I am not using KLH speakers for my rear and center. I am actually using a JBL-NSP1 speaker setup w/ a sub, but as I mentioned, its not here yet. I was playing around with the idea of using the two KLH rears that came with the reciever as my 6th and 7th...

Could not find any such switch. Too Bad. THe front of the unit is marked as "FULL STEREO TURNTABLE", so I guess Im out of luck. Ah well. The only thing: I waiting for my speakers! Looks like they wont be here till the 7th. I wont be able to fully test this Kenwood out till then.

JOhn, as someone who has the Kenwood, do you need to have both an optical and a digital coax hooked up in order to recieve both dolby digital and DTS? I read on some other message boards that some could only get dolby digital through either optical or coax(I prefer coax), but the problem was...

Ive had good experiences with AR. So I just buy the ones that are red and white? Or are there one that are specially designed for "analog"? I wonder if I would be able to get all 6 in one package.

I have a reciever and DVD player that are capable of 5.1 analog input/outputs(4 surrounds, 1 center, 1 sub) I am just unsure of what types of interconnects to use since they are not color coded. Thanks. Any brand reccomendations will also be welcome.

A couple other minor questions I was thinking of that apply to either reciever.....Can you select a component/input directly, or must you cycle through all the choices until you get one? Or, if using as a video switcher, can you watch TV for example, while listening to the radio? I have a...

Any other suggestions for a good sub to pair with the NSP-1? J and R has the JBL PB-10 for 199.00 shipped. A little more expensive than the Sony, but I have heard nothing about it. How are JBL subs in general? Never had the opportunity to try one out. Thanks again.

Thanks for all of your help. Up to this point, I hadn't taken the Kenwood out of the box, cause I wasnt sure if I would take it back and get the Pioneer(I bought it on Saturday to get some free speakers-2 KLH rears and a center that seem to be of a very low quality-$99.00 value) i paired that up...

I have decided to get one of these for sure(http://www.bestbuy.com/compare.asp?t...85&txtCount=17). Has anyone been to compare these two recievers head to head? I wish I could do it myself, but I have neither the time, energy or money to demo 2 recievers at the same time and take one back...

I cannot find the NSP-1 on jandr ANYWHERE anymore. What gives? Does anone know of other places with a good deal on this set? id like to order it asap!

Theres no question I'm chucking the KLH-crap. If I ger $25 dollars for them ill be happy. Which JBL's do you think are better? The NSp's with a seperate sub? or the JBL package(w/sub)? Thanks again.

This is my first HT setup(well, first "personal" setup-my parents had a Bose Acoustimass-15 running through a Pioneer VSXD608 reciever with a Sony 35'' TV and a Sony DVP-S550D DVD player-I guess I consider this an upgrade in some ways), and I was looking for opinions, suggestions, substitutes...

Ah, simple mistake. I didn't think to put the mute at the beginning of the combination. Thanks for your imput. All the same it works now. Other than disabling SVM, does anyone know of other recommended setting(s) to change? Is there a guide to reccommended Samsung direct View service menu...

I cannot get into the service menu using that button combo. I tried inputting it at fast, slow, and medium speeds, by only quickly pressing the buttons, other times holding them down, etc. I tried it several different ways, and each time, my TV only turns on normally. Any advice? Should I unhook...

Hi. I just purchased a new Samsung TXM-3296HF. Could someone tell me(or direct me to related thread-I couldn't find by searching) what exactly would be good steps to follow to "set up" my television? I know that sounds vague, so let me narrow it down a bit. I have already used Avia to make some...

I have decided to pair my Toshiba 5700 progressive-scan DVD player with a Samsung TXM-3296HF. One of the main drawback to this set is that it lacks internal 3:2 pull-down processing. However, my particular model DVD player has it(as well as aspect ratio control), so do I really need it on the...

I asked the same question before deciding to purchase a Toshiba SD5700, and read all the revelant articles and reviews(including the HTmagazine article mentioning Star Trek), but after I got my player today, I was horribly disapointed in its downconversion performance. I do not own a copy of...

I am trying to decide between a Sony Wega FV-32FS13 and Samsung TXM2796HF. Both can be had for about the same price, but I wonder if HDTV capability is a good trade off for the size(and reputation) of the Sony. Has anyone had any positive/negative experiences with these two sets? Also, when...

I am new to the forum. Hello everyone. One to my question: Is there any advantage to running a progressive-scan player to a non-digital television? I ask because I have a both a TV(Sony Wega FV-32FS13), and a Prog-scan DVD player(Toshiba SD5700) on the way, which I will be connecting with a...
