    help me pick out some new front speakers.

    ok, i just went down and measured and i only have 13 inches of hight to work with. bummer. i searched around JBL.com and it looks like the S36II will fit the best. would these work well with my other speakers? They say max power is 150 watts, will 100 watts to each of them be enough?

    Can i add an amp on to my reciver?

    Need help on how to stop the hiss.

    I figured out why i have so much his. Its my TV. Nothing hissis until my televisions is turned on. Im using a kenwood vr-06050 reciver and a hitachi ustravision TV. Is there any thing that i can do so that the TV wont make the speakers hiss?

    My reciver wont recognize an optical cable.

    There isnt any coaxil cable connected. The cable is hooked up to the DVD digital input on the back of the reciver and my DVD players video is hooked up to the DVD input as well. I was thinking the cable might be bad because: http://www.hometheaterforum.com/htfo...hlight=optical

    Listening Mode for TV?

    When watching TV with my HT the only way i get sound to come out of the rear left and right speakers is to use CS6.1 MONO. PLII, PLII movie, and PLII music only have sound coming out of the center channel and the front left and right. how do i get sound from the rears without 6.1 mono?

    Should i always use LFE?

    I was wondering if i should use LFE for only DD and DTS or can i use it for every thing(pro logic,DD,DTS). The instuction book says to use LFE for a digital signal and use "normal" for analog signals. Would it sound bad to use LFE for analog and digital?
