Well, I was able to find the box, but was unable to find any purchase or shipping information whatsoever.:frowning: I can tell you that the box calls it a "Super SP-700" and that whilst the instructions were godawful, the unit itself works VERY WELL!! FWIW, I'd suggest simply keeping an eye on...
George (s), and anyone else reading, sorry, I can't find the link anywhere. I even looked at Ebay to see if I could figure out who the seller was, but with no luck. I ordered it in December 02, and got it in right around Christmas although I didn't get it into the system until a few weeks...
Congrats George, and welcome to the club!! For a video screen, I picked up a 7" LCD widescreen (I think it's called a "Super"??) from a factory outlet place on Ebay. I got it for $59US plus shipping. Came in at just over $100 Canadian total including duties, exchange GST etc. And yes it was...
Mike, I too was loathe to spend much money on the cable. I found a 10 foot $3.99 cable (Canadian!!) at a computer store and thought I'd give it a try. It works GREAT!! I've never had a problem with software installs (except forgetting once to turn off my PalmPilot sync software which was...
Hey Guys, just reading but no posts, 'til now.... I've got two MCA 20's and the MCA 30 hooked to my AVM20. One of the MCA20's powers my main L and R speakers, the other one is for the surround L and R, and the 30 hooks up to the Center channel and the Rear L and R. Triggers are all set for...
Bob, I've got an AVM20 and I LOVE it!! Having said that, I think that if Pioneer went to the trouble of keeping a happy customer by giving you a brand new 49TXi, I'd probably be a happy customer and stay brand loyal. Maybe I'd see if I could pay the difference and get the newest Pioneer...
Brian, when you're turing on your unit, are you using the "main" power switch, or are you turning it on "directly" by pressing a "source" input?? I usually turn mine on with a "source" input (ie if I was listening to 6 ch when I turned it off, if I'm going to watch a DVD the next time, I'll...
I was using the old "super" setting and have now migrated to the new one. It sounded great to me before and that hasn't changed one bit. I can't say yet that the new "super" setting is any better (not enough listening time to tell, and too hard to A:B it), but I CAN say that it does NOT sound...
I know I've said it before, but I've just got to say it again......I LOVE MY ANTHEM!!! Randy, the super fast volume control was a surprise, but with some practice, or for new AVM owners, it's also easy to get used to. Besides, it's not as "fast" as the super fast volume problem I had in the...
I've got an Anthem MCA 20 powering my Stratus Golds and an Anthem MCA 30 powering my Stratus mini's. All are fed signals from my Anthem AVM20. I was previously running those speakers with a Pio Elite receiver and then later with a Denon Receiver. Nothing wrong with either of those receivers...
Hey Carl, I bought that very tv a few months ago. I have nothing but praise for it. Great picture, great colours, great viewing angles, fantastic. I decided to go with the 43 since we have a FP in the basement, and really the 43 is a great size for the front room. It doesn't overpower the...
Brian,
I've got 2 MCA 20's and 1 MCA 30 with my AVM. I absolutely love it. I've heard a lot about how different amps sound with different speakers, so that may play into your decision, but I'm running my setup with a bunch of Paradigm (center and side surrounds) and PSB speakers (front and...
Brian, My $0.02, but I think it might be better phrased as "the Anthem SEEMED very buggy". I'm not trying to suggest that there will be no future bugs, how the heck would I know, but it does seem to me that there have been no bugs since the new boards and the new software has come out...
I tend to agree that no sub will route the LFE to the mains (but I'm guessing, so I'll await confirmation from Michaels testing:) ).
As an aside, I'm pretty sure that if you have a sub and your AVM-20 has the sub set to "Super" as mine is set, then your LFE channel is routed to both the sub...
Hey Dan, Well, I looked at my owners manual and I can't find anything about the "90 memories" so I must have garnered that tidbit from the forums. Still, I've read it often enough to know that it's fairly common knowledge, so I'm quite sure you'd have come across it sooner or later. I am...
Dan, Glad it worked out for you.:) I'm also glad you were able to decipher my earlier post. Re-reading it now, it seems kind of cryptic.:b If you're impressed with the PQ of the anamorphic squeeze with just a progressive DVD, wait till you hook up your PJ to either a scaler or an HTPC!!
Hi Dan, I've got a BarcoG808s, so I don't know if this will help you or not, hopefully it will, otherwise I suppose it will just simply bump your post back to the top for someone else to chime in..... Anyway, to access the second modes, I need to change my input ie. with a 4:3 input, I'll...
Oops, I figured it out. When you turn on "DVD" or whatever you've got it set to in zone 2 it flips the trigger which flips the FOGG. When you turn OFF "DVD" or whatever you have it set to, it again flips the trigger which again flips the FOGG. All the while you're still listening to 6 Channel in...
Hi Mike, Just thought I'd chime in to help you out (I hope). When your zone 2 trigger turns on your switchbox, that's all it does (well, all it's going to do, since you have no output to zone 2). All it is doing is enabling the switchbox to use the other 6 channel input. zone 2 will think...
I used to have a Denon 3200. While I had the S-video going direct to the TV, I also used the composite video through the receiver for video switching. I don't really recall how this works, but I seem to remember something on the onscreen menus which allow you to select the video and audio...
Hi Sri,
Welcome to the club. When you're listening to your "rear" speakers, are you in a "7.1" mode such as DD-EX or DTS-ES or Anthem Logic etc? If you're not in a "7.1" mode and you're only listening in a 5.1 mode, you won't get any sounds from the rears. That's probably not the problem, but...
Seth, I wouldn't rule out the AVM based solely on the problems some people are having (although I can understand how that would influence you). I suggest you send an email to Anthem (contacts are listed on their web page) and discuss your concerns with one of the techs there (I've been...
here is Michael's (and probably most of ours) wish list.. http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htforum/showthread.php?postid=1294535&highlight=v2.1#post1294535 I hope that works. IF not, please see post 1000 of the "thread". OK, it doesn't work, sorry. Page 34 is the one you're looking for.
Neat thread discussion. Also cool to see the links Jeff provided. Thanks. I've never used my Anthem remote. I've never even stuck the batteries in it. I got the CCF from Anthem's website before my AVM was delivered, and I've been using my Marantz RC5000i (Like a Pronto) since then. To me...
DarrylM's name does not appear of Michaels list, but the rest of as ARE very lucky to have someone of Michael's dedication, devotion and wealth of knowledge on our side. Michael, I applaud your efforts and, based on the comments in that monster thread, I'm pretty sure that I can speak for...
