Thanks Lee, First disc I saw when I checked out your sites was one of my all time favorites, Roxy Music - Avalon. Can't wait to hear that in multi-chnl.

Thanks guy's.. My taste im music is pretty wide. I love Pink Floyd, Beatles, Elton John, Steely Dan, Eagles and most good old rock. Also like David Gray, REM etc. from todays music. Like soul, good Reggae, jazz if it's not too off key. Interested in both multi track and excellent sounding 2 chl.

I just picked up a SACD player and already had the Dark Side of the Moon CD and it sounds great. Picked up Dylan's Blonde on Blonde and was very dissapointed. So what titles do you suggest for great sound ????

So Brent what software are you using to record from the firewire input ????

OK... I tried not to reply again to this thread but feel I must. There are very few receivers that have true 5 chl DSP. I know that lexicon and some of the higher end HK units do, can not speak for the Sony that Jeff listed, but I doubt it. I own or have bought for my kids a Yamaha, Denon...

Jeff, You could be correct on certain receivers but it is not the norm. As Nick has stated most of the receivers will convert to 2 channel and apply psuedo surround output. What we are trying to do is let people that are not as well educated as yourself about this situation. All you are...

Jeff, The lexicon is unique (some Harmon Kardons also)in this processing. The greatest majority of receivers do mix down to 2 channels when you apply a DSP mode.

I can't believe this thread exists, let alone some of the replies... Any movie that has a Dolby Digital or DTS soundtrack should be played back using them. If you switch to any other setting then you are using a 2 track downmix version to feed into your receivers DSP engine. Why would you want...

There is a known problem with Denon receivers and the Motorola box. No one has ever figured out (to the best of my knowledge) what the problem is but the Denon units will not play the digital signal from the Motorola output. I have a 3200 that plays every other digital signal I throw at it, but...

On the Motorola box that came from the cable co you can change the resolution for non HD programs. There is a setting that allows you to change the output from 1080i to 480i/480P when a non HD channel is selected. This will not help when an HD channel is broadcasting a 4:3 picture but it works...

I just switched from DirecTV to Comcast in the Seattle area. my reasons for doing this were many but the main issue was that I was tired of spending money on equipment and the DirecTV charging me an additional $5 a month just to have it. I bought a HD unit a couple of years ago and have not used...

Does anyone know if the HD boxes have a variable output.. I need to have 480P and 1080i depending on the channel I am watching. My pannasonic TV switches to 16x9 with a 1080i input but most of the programs we watch are 4x3. So I want to be able to easily switch from 480P to 1080i depending on...

Just wanted to wish you good luck on your grand event tonight Tommy. I wish I could have been there.

The best way is to run a single cable from the digital out on your computer sound card to the digital in on your receiver. If you don't have a digital out on your sound card then run two rca cables from your sound card analog out to any of the analog inputs on your receiver. The digital...

Jordan, The Toshiba looks great with HD even though I don't have it set up for HD at the moment. I moved the Sat receiver into the family room to use with m 32" Panasonic HD set, as that is where we watch most of our TV. We use the HT room for movies and concerts. I was looking at buying a...

I have to say that I think both sides of this discussion are right. If you look at the context of the story it is about a rock star strung out on drugs and booze. At the stage in the story where the song hits he has reached overload. This is when the doctor comes in "just a little pin prick" and...

Thanks again. I'll leave it set at warm and give my self a chance to get used to it. I adjusted with Avia for all three modes and recorded the settings (not a lot of difference between them settings wise). One more question on Avia they sugested setting the black level on the DVD to normal. Is...

Thanks Michael. When I use warm the picture seems a little to red but the colors sure are vibrant.

What color temp setting are you guy's using between Cool, Neutral and Warm. I had been using cool but the Sound & Vision setup disc sugested Warm. Does any one know the setting closest to 6500.

Jordan, We never go to the casino even though we live so close. My setup is: 56" Tosh HDTV Panasonic CP72 DVD (still have a Tosh 5109 also) HK AVR 1000 reciever Def Techs all round SVS 31-25 PCI Sub with BFD equalizer Have a Tosh HDTV Sat receiver but that is hooked up in the family room...

Hey Joran I am up on Forrest Villa near the Casino. Good luck with new baby.

Would love to attend but can't make a week night this month either. Tommy love your theater and wish I could have been there for the grand opening. Like Michael I can only seat 4-6 as my theater is in what used to be a living room. I would be interested in hosting a couple of small dinner/movie...

Hey all is this still open. I live in Auburn and have had my HT up and running for a couple of years. Still making upgrades latest being an SVS 31-25.. Equipment is: Toshiba 56" HDTV HK AVR1000 Receiver Panasonic CP72 DVD Def Tech speakers SVS Sub My HT is set up more for small numbers...

I just picked up a DVD-A player and have listened to R.E.M and Fleetwood Mac Rumours so far. What do you sugest for other titles that sound great. I am not a fan of surround music that puts instruments where they should not be but rather good airy sound quality. Having said that creative use of...

Well after starting this thread with a minimum amount of knowledge on the subject I must say I have learned a lot from all your input. Going back to my original post and the comment the record company rep made about BETA v VHS. VHS won out even though it was an inferior technology because more...

It is on the right side at the bottom... Kind of a pain in my cabinet as the DVE draw is on the opposite side.

I am now convinced this guy is a joke.... Let's end this thread now. Bye....

I have listened to SACD but not in my own environment I must admit. have you ever listened to DVD-A ???

Hey Guy's back of the Honda thing.... We don't all like the same thing and even though I agree that the boom sound is for the birds, we have to respect his thoughts. Travis give it a shot and listen to the SVS for a while, I think you will come to appreciate the clean deep sound it produces.
