I do have a calibration disc and there is subwoofer sound, just not very loud even with the knob at the back of the subwoofer turned up. I looked at the screen that shows individual db's on each speaker and they are ALL on zero including the subwoofer. I'll have to look into it further to see...

Is the line doubler in play even though the tv does not have the special HDTV reciever yet?

I bought a new Panasonic television (model CT36HX42F)which has a flat screen and is HDTV ready although I don't have the special receiver yet. I have several Guncon games, and Guncons, Guncon2's as well as aftermarket lightguns. They all worked with my old tv. Now I can't Calibrate any of the...

The speakers are on small, the sub is on. I will look through the reciever manual to find out about adjusting the individual levels as you have suggested. Thanks. And thanks for the reassurance that that is what the inside of the hole is supposed to look like, it is wierd that that piece of...

I was doing my calibrations on my new system which has the subwoofer and speakers of the Onkyo SKS HT500 system. I set the crossover at 80 and slowly turned up the volume of the subwoofer using the button at the back of the subwoofer. The sound is there, but very soft(it never equaled the left...

Thanks Adam. Did you use stands and/or brackets for the speakers? I thought I'd use stands for the fronts and surrounds and a bracket for the back speaker which I'm getting separately. Do you have any suggestions for stands and or brackets? thanks again

Just ordered the reciever and speaker set. Wanted to get the cables and speaker wires before they arrive as I don't want to have to move the really heavy tv more than once to connect everything. I here I should replace the subwoofer cable and the speaker wire. So my questions are if I get 12...

I just went to the Onkyo site and they are having a sale on a refurbished system consisting of TX Sr600 and the sksht500 speakers refurbished. I've never bought anything refurbished in my life. What do you guys think about this?

I've seen this model online for $260 with shipping but that's all.

Has there been anymore news as to whether they've found a fix to the LFE problem and if they have how that affects people buying the set now? Also it you play the system NOT on mode 3, are you basically getting base on the subwoofer from the other speakers? Thanks

I was concerned because the Primer goes into something about how when the format has to be reformatted to go to widescreen, it has to take lines of info OUT and the pic can suffer and that is where I got lost. It made it sound like if I bought a widescreen dvd and my dvd tried to letterbox it as...

My tv is a HDTV despite that it is apparently 4:3 aspect ration. (The actual measured screen is 29inches wide and 22 inches high). I gathered from the threads that this is unusual as most HDTV's are widescreen. My question is, given my situation, when I connect my progressive scan dvd, what type...

My HDTV which is a Panasonic has a lot of inputs but only 2 are component. Since my biggest concern is dvd pic and sound I plan to connect the progressive dvd player I just bought to one of the component inputs and run either a coaxial or optical cable to the receiver. I plan to buy (I don't...

Thanks Bri for the info. I'm sure it WOULD be helpful for me to actually get to listen to it so that I can make a better decision. I've been going back and forth about the format for some time now at first figuring to get something nice in 5.1 then thinking going entry level on 6.1, and reading...

I did use the search program to see what people have said before but didn't find anything. This will be my first HT and I don't know of any stores that have HT set up in any useful way. (My CC actually has no 6.1 's set up at all and the speakers for 5.1's are just stacked together. UGH)...

What I'm asking is how what factors affect the sound that you get? I can understand why different speakers will sound different bedause yor taliking about sound coming out of different sized tweeters, woofers, and different materials in the boxes and different sized boxes etc. but I was...

When they do get back in stock, does anybody know what kind of shipping charge would be involved? Do they add tax to NY? I'd like to know how much the total price would be before I make a decision as to whether I'm going with a 6.1 HTIB with a dvd player I don't need, or go with a separate 6.1...

Never having had a HT (I'm on this forum to learn before I buy) I'd like to know if when the new Pioneer receivers come in, will it mean they stop selling the vsx-d811s or does it mean you can get it for less, or what?

I was going to buy the HTS 650 until I read about the LFE problem. Consequently I found this CR list and this thread interesting. Do any of you think that combining the Onkyo HTS 500 speakers that come with the HTS 650 system, with the Pioneer vsx-d811s would be a good idea? I'm also considering...

Thank you for your suggestions. I think the gray scale situation is what I'm trying to describe. To give you an example when playing two towers(PS2) when the cave troll is attacking with the chain and your character is firing with thier ranged weapon hiding behind pillars, other bad guys are...

Thanks I appreciate your help.

I've been reading up on the sr600 since it was mentioned in this thread and I too am seriously considering the SR600 receiver/SKshts500 speaker combo. THanks to the person who pointed out that you can turn of the back center channel on this model but I just wanted something clarified. If I buy...

If your vcr has composit outputs only and you connect those to a receiver and everything else has s video outputs, can you still run s video cable from the reciever to the tv? If your tv is HDTV ready and it has 2 sets of component inputs, and your receiver doesn't have any, are you losing...

I was thinking about getting the HTS 650 when I came across this thread. I have never had a HT and am not sure I understand the problem that you are complaining about well enough to make an informed decision as to whether this defect (with the mode 3 not working and mode 1 working) is bad enough...

I just bought a Panasonic CT 36HX42 television which is HDTV ready. I connected the PS2 amd played LOTR Two Towers. It was then that I noticed that the picture is too dark esp since a lot of the action takes place at night. THis problem is also noticeable when I see Angel the televison series a...

I have been reading in another thread that the Onkyo sr500 reciever that comes in the HTS 6500 HTIB that I was planning to buy has a problem that the "LFE" doesn't work with the subwoofer when a setting is on "mode 3." I'm afraid that not ever having a HT system I don't understand the problem...

Great. If they are region 1 (US/Canada)we have a deal for the Hercules set. Please e-mail me whether they are region 1 and if they are, where and to whom I send the money order. Thanks

Thanks Bob. Especially for the link to the accessories store. I had almost decided to go for 16 ga monster cable but this looks like a good deal and 12 ga is much better. I won't get a chance to put your suggestions in play until my HT system is delivered, but I'm buying the cables in the mean...

The Hercules "set" is of the dvd s of those titles right? What condition are they in? I probably will want them. I'll check back here later today (Sunday)for your response but you can e-mail me at [email protected] so please hold these.

Hello, I have never had a HT but recently got a HDTV (Panasonic CT 36 HX42) for my birthday. I therefore just bought a DVD with progressive scanning (Onkyo DV SP300) and plan to get an Onkyo hts 650 HT system, although I haven't actually bought it yet. I will also want to connect my Playstation...
