I have the same problem with my H/K 525! SO if you have analog cables and a digital cable connected at the same time for the CD input, the main room will use the digital and the secondary room will use the analog? The H/K manual did not mention this at ALL in the multiroom setup section...

Any idea on when they will get the network channels? ALSO, what is the format (1080i or 720p) of the channels you currently get via Comcast HD? Thanks! Go Noles! Brian

Thanks for the input guys. Looks like I will use a separate receiver. Thanks again!

I need to get my outdoor speakers hooked up to use the same source as my HT receiver. I have a H/K 525 which has a "multi-room" feature, but requires you to kill your surround back channels to have a 2nd source (multi-room). This is not an option for me, since I love my 7.1 setup. The way I...

Thanks for the feedback Wayne. So this wont pose too much load for the Front left and right channels? Thanks again! Brian

James I have the H/K 525 and I absolutely love it. I have it pushing some Polk RC85i's as well as a PolkCSI40 center channel. It was very simple to hook with the on screen display. It's a great receiver, I would definitely recommend it. Brian

I have a brand new H/K 525 that I do not want to harm in any way, shape, or form. I need to send audio (stereo) information to another room that is wired to the same location as my H/K 525. Someone recommended that I use the Niles HDL-4 speaker selector to drive "room b" stereo speakers, but I...

Ted I LOVE my new H/K 525. I got it from jandr for a good price a couple of weeks ago. The thing sounds great. I still cant believe what a big difference a good processor makes. Logic 7 is nice, but the power is the best. It's a beast.... and hot as a dutch oven! You can bake cookies on top...

I just got a new Harmon Kardon 525 receiver, and I was wondering what DVD (and chapter) you guys use to demo your system. I have been using Star Wars: ATOC chapter 17-18 (the Jango Fett/Obi-wan astroid chase scene). If you only had 10 minutes to demo your system, what would you play...

Thanks for the input! I am going to set all my speakers at 100Hz and see how it sounds. Thanks, Brian

I just purchased a HK 525 almost a week ago. I am very happy with this receiver. No problems yet. The beast does run hot..... but sounds awesome. I cannot stress enough how good the 525 sounds. Happy HK customer (so far), BrianCli

GREAT! Would you put the other channels (center) 100Hz as well? Thanks for the help! Brian

I just purchased the H/K 525 last week. I am thrilled with it's performance so far. I do have a question about setting my crossover for my fronts, center, and rears. Here are the specs for my speakers: --Center channel (Polk CSi40)~~ 40Hz-27kHz --Rears (Polk RC85i) ~~ 30Hz - 20kHz --Fronts...

Jeff I have been considering purchasing the h/k 525 for a while now. Would you still recommend it, despite these problems? 1) Are you ever able to hear the DTS/THX intros? 2) How does 7.1 sound when listening to DTS/DD5.1? Any advice (from anyone) would be appreciated! Thanks...

I use my xbox with a Sony 53" HDTV all the time. I've been using that setup for 2 years now with no problems at all! MS is now releasing more games that are HighDef (Matrix game 1080i, Halo2 720p, etc). Just dont leave your game on pause for hours at a time. Game on.

I am very interested in this as well. I am in the process of building a house and I have wired for a 7.1 setup, but I am unsure on the exact placement of the speakers. Anyone have any diagrams??? Thanks Brian

That's great information, I do not want to have 2 dishes on my roof.

I am about to purchase a Satellite system for my new house. I have a Sony Projection HDTV and would like to start enjoying it's HDTV capabilities. I have 2 choices: Dish Network and Direct TV. Both provide about the same number of HDTV channels (4). DirectTV has HDNET, but Dish Network has...

Okay, I had a local retailer order a truck load of solid copper core RG6 for the component runs. Each run will be between 50 and 60 feet. In addition to the RG6, I have also purchased a 66 foot TOSLINK cable from LiFaTec. Thanks for providing that link, they were very helpful and a pleasure...

Okay, I'm a newbie at this, so let me get this straight. I need to shop for "solid core copper with a teflon dielectric" cable? Is that RG-6 75 ohm coax? Or a type of RG-6? Also, forgive me for asking but what is DIY? Thanks again!!! Brian

--- Thanks for your input regarding the Component switching! I will need that ability when I get DSS. Do you know of any sites where I can purchase custom cable (long component cable, long subwoofer cable)? I've checked into the wireless xbox controllers and found mixed results. My main...

Wow, I think that site is going to be perfect Chu Gai! I am in the middle of building a house right now. My plan is to have a panel in the back of the room where I can hook up my xbox (and other gaming consoles) to the wall to avoid having cables running across the room. The panel will have...

Is it possible to get a Digital Audio Optical cable (toslink) that is 50' long? Is that too long for it to work properly? Where could I buy such a cable? Thanks for the help, Brian

Hello everyone, I need help choosing the correct in wall speaker for my HT. I am planning on going with the H/K 525 reciever and due to the room design and WAF (wife acceptance factor) I will be using in-wall speakers all the way around except for the center speaker. I already have a velodyne...

I am currently in the process of building a new house. I want to add a new HT in my main family room 17'X 16' (hardwood floors, and 11' ceiling). I will be replacing all the speakers and the receiver as well (I'm keeping my new Velodyne SPL 1000). I plan on using the system for 80% Movies, 20%...
