Thanks again. I thought it was supposed to erase the label also and when it didn't I assumed it was erasing anything.

Thanks again. I tried that. When it erases is it erasing just the commands associated with the key? I thought it would actually erase the word that the key corresponds to also. The only way I have been able to erase the word is go into edit and just space the word out using the toggle button.

That did it!! Thanks. I was doing everything but pressing the page button. One more question, I am also trying to delete some commands. I am pressing the erase button then the fav button then the "all" button and or the device erase button and the commands are still there. What am I doing wrong...

Thanks, but I have the manual and have looked at it alot but can't find how to add a device. I can see where to edit a command for a device but not how edit/add a device. Am I missing something?

I just got a used MX-500 and it is missing some of the devices on the main page like the DVD and CD player. How do I add back the devices that are missing? I have read where it is not possible to bring the remote back to the original default so I am trying to manually type in everything that it...

I have a small closet that I want to put my equipment in and I need a rack that I can wheel in and out. Does anyone know where I can get one? Would something like a bread rack work? Any other ideas?

Thanks Lev, I get the idea. I just need to take that step and "crossover". Now I have to decide what to get when the time comes. Too many choices, LCD, DLP, Plasma etc.

Was just looking at Walmart for a Harry Potter DVD for my daughters birthday and noticed that the full screen version was $6 more that the wide screen version. I suppose that is the direction that DVD's are going now? Pretty soon we will have no choice but wide screen? By the way, I...

Thanks for the history John. I do plan on getting a widescreen someday but with my luck soon as I get one that is 16:9 they will come out with another format and I will be watching black bars of another kind.

"How come we don't complain about black bars in the theaters .." Maybe I am blind but I don't notice black bars at the theater. However, I was at a hi-fi store the other day and was watching a $6000 HDTV and it had bars in it!! If I am gonna pay that much money for a set I want to see...

Chris, Thanks for the site. You are right, I have been around the forum for a while but I have been concentrating mostly on the audio end. Now I am wanting to look at the video side of HT. One question, if some of the movies are now being produced in 2.35:1 will HDTV be going to this format...

My DVD player has zoom which I haven't tried but I would think with a 16:9 movie on a 4:3 screen it would just be a close up with the big black bars. Hate those bars.

I have a rear projection TV with 4:3 and I when I get movies I always get the full screen versions, but it seems that the trend is going toward 16:9 and I know eventually I will have to bit the bullet and go HDTV. Also, when I borrow movies most of them are 16:9 which kinda ruins the movie...

I tried doing a search before I posted but didn't find anything under the topic. I also tried searching under Ilkka and found some stuff but nothing on plugging a PB-10.

I understand that plugging a couple ports on the bigger SVS's make a difference but what about plugging all ports or in my case with the PB-10 plugging the only port. Will it hurt anything? Can I expect it to sound "tighter" like the sealed subs are supposed to sound? If it is OK to do, what...

I have read a couple of threads where a certain speaker brand tries to impress the listener by playing a song with "Q" sound. What is this and what songs are recorded that way?

Thanks for the info. I think maybe a portable screen is the way to go and yeh I know I probably should have chosen a different title but I have been married for 22 years and plan to keep it that way.

I can't do the curtain thing to hide the screen because there is furniture or or a fireplace or an entertainment center on every wall. I thought I read somewhere about someone who used a pop up screen? What is that?

Here is the deal. My wife has been so understanding of my audio "toys". I have full size speakers and and a big sub which she has graciously let me have in our family room with no complaints. I have been able to "blend" them in with the existing decor which makes her and I both happy. Now I want...

Got any suggestions for some songs with a nice tight kickin drum track? One that will make or break a sub?

Your review was really realistic to a bunch of us including me. I could easily see myself in that situation. Now since you praised an SVS in a review like this, your review will likely be mentioned in othre comaparisons and they'll likely just call you another fanboy. Sad but true. They can...

In all seriousness that Kenwood isn't a bad little sub. It would do pretty good in a smaller room.

Actually the judges rated the VMPS second and the SVS last. I rated the SVS better than the VMPS but I don't have trained ears like they do!!

Remember, this was a HIGHLY technical test so even the scoring is confusing. SVS 11 points total from the 1's (or 11-1's), 6 points total from the 2's (or 3-2's)and 12 points total from the 3's (or 4-3's) 11+6+12 = 29 VMPS 6-1's, 5-2's(10), 7-3's(21) grand total 37 Kenwood 3-1's...

Yeh, I thought about sending the idea to Cadillac so they could call their hotrod SUV an SVS to go along with the STS.

As a preface to my test I would like say how much I admire and appreciate the work that some of the HTF members do to test subwoofers so that the rest of us can make educated decisions on what we should purchase. I realize that their work requires many hours of charting, listening, testing, and...

Thanks, just ordered a Smart Strip and it looks like what I have been needing.

How many houses did you have to look at before you found one that was flat?!!!:D :D

I thought about that but I wonder how much current I would be using when it is idle. I can't find any info. about the current it draws at idle.

I have an amp for my mains that does not have the 12v trigger. I would like for it to come on when I turn on my receiver, is there something I can buy that will do this? If so, where can I get it?
