    Serious problem with Onkyo HELP!!

    Monte, This is the first I've heard of the LFE problem in the SR600. All the others have been the SR500 that came with the HT-S650. If your having the problem with LFE AND your surrounds, you may have a larger issue with your receiver. Just a thought. I don't know enough about the...

    Grounding satellite cables?

    Wayne and Lee, Thanks. I'm hooking everything up this weekend so I'll go ahead and use the ground blocks. Thanks to all for the responses. I'm sure I'll have more questions once I start trying to hook everything up.

    Serious problem with Onkyo HELP!!

    Shahid, Thanks. I ended up going to CC yesterday and talking them into getting the price back down to $499. Of course it didn't hurt that I happened to be ready to buy my Hitachi 57SWX at the same time and got a good deal on that too.:) I appreciate the info though.

    The proper relationship between screen height and viewing distance?

    Emile, I've read many different opinions on this. By far the best formula I know consists of the following: 1- Grab your favorite beverage and snack 2- Sit in your favorite chair 3- Put in your favorite DVD or turn to your favoite show 4- Look at the picture 5- If it looks good...sit...

    Serious problem with Onkyo HELP!!

    Shahid, Thanks, I hadn't had a chance to look at the e-tailers yet. I think I'll print out some pages and take 'em to CC with me and see if they'll at least get it back to last week's price. Can't hurt to try :)

    Grounding satellite cables?

    Some questions... Is it necessary to ground each cable run from my sat dish? And do those grounding blocks degrade the signal at all? Also... I've got a Terk M58 multiswitch. I need to feed 2 STB's from my antenna in the attic. Would I be better off using a good splitter on the antenna...

    Serious problem with Onkyo HELP!!

    FYI... I was in CC yesterday and noticed that the HTS650 is now priced at $522.00, up from the $499.00 that it's been since I've been looking at it for 3 or 4 weeks. :frowning: I wonder if Onkyo's trying to make back their money from having to fix all the defective ones. :angry: I didn't...

    Serious problem with Onkyo HELP!!

    I'm having trouble posting the exact link. You can go to hometheatrespot.com and go into the forums. Go down to the Onkyo/Integra section. It's the 2nd thread from the top. It's kinda long so if you wanna cut to the chase just read the last page or so. Good Luck.

    Here's an update from another forum: "I received a call today from Onkyo and they are sending a new board to correct the LFE problem. They are sending me to Northeastern Audio in Dunmore PA to get this fixed free of charge. She said I am the guinea pig for her and we will see how this goes...

    Serious problem with Onkyo HELP!!

    An update: The moderator on the other forum who's in touch with Onkyo about this problem hasn't been able to contact them yet this week cause Monday was a holiday and the big snow storm hit the east coast on Tuesday. (Onkyo's in New Jersey apparently) I'll check tomorrow and report back...

    Serious problem with Onkyo HELP!!

    I've been looking at the HTS-650 for awhile and ran across this thread as well as one on another forum. One of the Mods on the other forum is in contact with Onkyo directly and says Onkyo was able to re-produce the problem in their lab. They think they've narrowed the problem down to a...

    enough space for my front speakers?

    Terry, Thanks for the suggestion. Maybe I'll see if I can do a little furniture re-arranging to accomodate the speakers a little farther out. I appreciate the reply.

    enough space for my front speakers?

    I have an entertainment center(2 columns w/ a bridge)that will go with my "in the near future" widescreen. After adding the width of the columns and HDTV I'll have about 16" left on each side between the columns and wall for my front speakers. My speakers are basic Kenwoods that came with...
