    Recommendations For (Alcohol - Sobriety - Recovery) Inspiration?

    You will need help early on, family and AA are best in my experience. Read Jim_F's post again, and think that's just 1 meeting today... You should also ask your family to attend Al-anon meetings. This was the biggest help to my family before I started recovery and after. Keep your guard up, it's...

    Farscape New Ep 4.12: Kansas

    As much as I hate it Sci-Fi killed this show. I don't think that any amount of begging is going to get it back. All the other networks that should be picking it up are not. It has to be a worse decision then canceling the first Star Trek series. Once Farscape is done I'm through with the Sci-Fi...

    Underrated/Overlooked TV series

    The Invisible Man on the Sci-Fi channel. The cast worked so well together on screen. You have a thief with an awesome ability he doesn't want, and a hyper paranoid ex CIA/FBI agent to watch out for him. I just pray they release this series on DVD at some point. I know realize that all Sci-Fi...

    Cicuit City ROCKS!

    I purchased a laptop at Circuit City. It died, I sent it to the manufacturer. I got it back, it died, I sent it off. I got it back and it had a slower processor in it. I was very upset. I called Circuit City and said this is not your problem but I wanted to check with you before I send it off a...

    Trade Onkyo TX-SR600 for 989

    :) The $2,000 in Polk speakers was a Christmas present. So I'm pushing my luck at this point.

    Trade Onkyo TX-SR600 for 989

    I like the idea of the Pre outs, and more power. Plus it has better bass management then the SR600. The amp is used, vs. the SR600 being brand new with warrenty. My question would be is it worth the money. I have all Polk Audio speakers. RTi70's front, CSi40 center, RT38's rear, and a PSW404...

    Trade Onkyo TX-SR600 for 989

    I just purchased an Onkyo TX-SR600. I'm happy with the receiver but as a bargan hunter I was looking for a better deal before my time to return or get a price adjustment ran out. I came across a mint Onkyo 989 ver.2 for $1300 this seems like a really good deal. I haven't seen it yet but is this...

    Polk vs Boston Acoustics for rear speakers

    I don't know if you bought yet. I just purchased a set of HT speakers. I listened to Polk, Infinty, Klipsch, and Boston. I went with Polk. Find some music you are very familiar with and listen to it on each set of speakers. Also if you are eventually going to match up fronts, I would listen to...

    Unhappy w/ Onkyo TX-SR600. Need Recommendations for Alternative in this Price Class!

    Polk's site has info on the sub as well as in-store displays at Circuit City. I got a 10% discount coupon in the mail around the first week of the month. You might want to see if someone you know has a coupon you could use. One thing about Circuit City I have noticed, if you are decent to them...

    HTF REVIEW: "Minority Report" (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED)

    Problem With DTS Sound? I just watched the movie with the DTS 5.1 track and it seems like the voices were digitized or skipping at times in the movie. I was so bad during the Eye clinic scene I switched to Dolby Digital. Did anyone else notice this? Is it a problem with my equipment? I loved...

    Unhappy w/ Onkyo TX-SR600. Need Recommendations for Alternative in this Price Class!

    I would also take a listen to Polk Audio speakers. If you have a Circuit City near you they are offering a free sub with a purchase of $499 in Polk Audio gear. You could try a pair of RTi38's for front, and RTi28's rear. That would total $650. Get your free sub. Plus Circuit City has several 10%...

    Unhappy w/ Onkyo TX-SR600. Need Recommendations for Alternative in this Price Class!

    I would try some different speakers first. If you still don't like the sound try a different receiver. At any rate if you arn't happy with what you have you should change it. I don't know if this helps at all but: I have an old (10-12 years) Onkyo 904. I just purchased an Onkyo SR600. The old...

    Question About Avia and Directview TVs

    You might want to get the the Sound and Vision Home Theater Tune-Up disc. I picked it up at borders for $16.99. I was very happy with the results, and the price is hard to beat. I guessing that the Avia disc has more tests and tweaking options. I'm sure I'll pick up the Avia disc some day, for...

Plug one end into the optical out on the DVD Player and the other on the optical input on your Receiver. Next you will need to change the output setting on the DVD...
