>>I'd highly recommend swapping the cheezy jumpers out with a short piece of the same wire you are using for the speakers. Ha, I thought I was the only nut that did that. Mark, for the theoritical best connection (least impedence mismatch), just strip the wire about two inches and it can...
The three RF inputs are for. Sat OTA standard NTSC OTA Digital TV I don't think it can be used as a cable box. You can use it for OTA broadcasts without activating the DirecTV. The internal scaler for SD isn't to my liking, but it does nicely on native 1080i broadcasts.
This is a very old issue that plaggued the first few hundred units. I know cuz that's what I have. Could also be a ground loop problem with your cable box though (very common since the cable should be connected to the foundation ground). I suggest you try disconnecting the cable box, hook up a...
My lisening area is 18x15x12 full drywall, not ideal. I'm using B&W DM604S3 as mains, 602S2 rears, 600S2 center I like to run 5 channels full range (multi-channel music), but I don't think the 3803 is up to the task. It's too bright at moderate-high volume and gives me a headache on music. It...
Monday I had the same experience at CC. I guess that's their new low-pressure sales technique. Also, the one I went to had only low end stuff. They did have a HK430 on sale which looked sweet. Actually current Inet pricing on the US 7200 is slightly
I believe that switching is the auto sense circuitry for the audio video input. Go into the menu and setup each type of input for a fixed mode (Composite, SVid,Component). I'd do the same thing for audio functions. -RJ
Funny, I inverted my 602's as well. I was running them at all four corners and 600S2 up front. Now I'm running: 604S3 R/L 600S2 Center 602S2 rear. The 602 is a great speaker regardless of price. It goes lower than the 600. So I prefer it's sound over the 600. But the 600 has more clarity...
I'm in the same boat, but my HTPC project has me financially incapable of upgrading. Leaning towards Rotel 5 channel or Anthem MCA series 2 channel; some day. Please report your findings. -RJ.
I missed the End-of-the-year deal on this and am waiting for prices to drop again. Another cool feature I'm told is that it can be used as an external de-interlacer/line doubler. I think that may be one reason why your cable looks so much better. Does your TV have the ability to display what...
Yogi: Are you still running the 3802 as pre/pro or did you upgrade ? which B&K do you use and how does it sound vs. the internal amps ? I've got the upgrade bug wanting to warm up my 3803/B&W600 setup.
Andrew, I've been a direcTV subscriber for 3 years. The quality varies greatly with the channel selected. Some are awesome and some are just OK. I tried to switch to cable a few months ago and that lasted less than one week. Quality doesn't compare. Direct TV only has a couple of hi-def...
So-Cal availability: Toshiba 65H80 HD RPTV. Excellent condition. Used with contrast & sharpness turned way low (no burn in). Two wide band component inputs. Never had a problem. $ 1700.00.
Michael, Can you tell me how many pixels is in a standard RPTV with 480P image ? I have a Toshiba 65H80. I know it's 480 down but how many across ? Thanks, RJ.
Sorry Grant, I don't have any experience with the 860/870. I was waiting for progressive. From what I've heard the explorer works the same. Seek time is pretty low on the 875, but like I said I can't compare it to the older ones.
Earl, I've owned the 875P since 11/15/2002 and use it daily. It's a great unit, but not quite the best image quality. My main problem is that the red push is so strong, skin tones look out of focus and blurry. I have several AV sources routed to the same input on the TV, so can't really lower...
My Pioneer Elete 1K$ receiver died after about 2 yrs of service. I think it was partially due to continuous overheating in the cabinet I had it in. Very low amount of air flow. I opened up the receiver and found that the DSP board was totally surrounded by a metal shield and had little-to-no air...
Matt: Go to the speaker setup and enable the sub for LFE+Main. That should allow any bass in the L/R front channels to also route to the sub. The LFE option only works if there is a dedicated LFE in the source material. -RJ.
