    The Upgraded Anthem AVM-20 2.1

    I am 34 and seated firmly in the lower middle class. A also am insane enough to buy an AVM20. I can't afford the D1 and my cholesterol is elevated!:D

    The Upgraded Anthem AVM-20 2.1

    I have had a problem twice now with two different discs. When the previews ended and the movie is about to start the Anthem shuts down. When I turned it back on it acted fine. I have been on a movie rental binge lately and of course can't remember what movies they were. Has anyone else...

    The Upgraded Anthem AVM-20 2.1

    My wife is going to let me tear out a wall. My listening room is going from a 13' cube to 26'x13'. I am thinking of going to 7.1. I have the AVM20, an MCA50, and Paradigm Studio 100s, ADPs, and CC, all v.2. I am thinking of another used MCA50 and some Studio 20/40/60s for the rears. Besides the...

    The Upgraded Anthem AVM-20 2.1

    George is right. The notch filter adds great value to the AVM20. This totally calmed my 13'x13'x13' standing wave chamber from hell. I recieved an update from Nick a couple of days ago. I was getting the ol' pops and clicks when locking in on a signal with my Yamaha DVD-S2300. Even when the...

    The Upgraded Anthem AVM-20 2.1

    I bought a used copy of "Signs" tonight. When I put it in I got the pop. This is the first time I have heard it. I am using a Yamaha dvd2300. I have THX set to come on with 5.1. I was hoping I was immune but I guess not. I have tried to make it happen with my satellite as the input but couldn't...

    Craig, You can use the settings saver that is available on the Anthem website. It is very quick and easy to use. Jason

    The Upgraded Anthem AVM-20 2.1

    Pravanthian, I meant the tuner/ssp or whatever it says display. Try putting it on the 6 ch input, turn it off. Turn it back on with the main button. As fast as you can change the source. This is how it happens for me.

    The Upgraded Anthem AVM-20 2.1

    Brian, I was able to get mine to do the same thing. I must have something to do with switching sources before everything is "warmed up". I think if you wait for the "welcome" display to go of and the regular dislay to come on it won't happen anymore. This happened to me a couple of times with...

    The Upgraded Anthem AVM-20 2.1

    Levesque, I did much research into headphone amps a few months back. You should definitely get an amp to get the most out of the HD600. There are two forums that I know of that are dedicated to headphones. I ended up choosing a Meier audio amp. You have to order it from Germany but worth the...

    The Upgraded Anthem AVM-20 2.1

    When I did my upgrade I noticed that all of my settings were saved. My speaker settings were saved under the cinema settings. The music settings must be a default. I did the initial setup of the notch filter yesterday. I found that I had to use it at the widest point to get the best results...

    Zowie Levesque. Four beautiful pictures. I have to ask how you ended up at the ends of the earth? :) To fit into the subject better I'll say you will love the upgrade!

    The Upgraded Anthem AVM-20 2.1

    I will miss the "super" setting. I have the Studio 100s v.2. What is the LFE bypass option? This maybe a stupid question. Will there be a way for me to utilize my subwoofer when running my turntable in analog direct? This thread will be 58 pages long before you know it. Generally there is not...

    The Upgraded Anthem AVM-20 2.0 Thread

    I am trying to resurrect my old Laserdisc player while using as few interconnects as possible. The player only has component video out. Can I use a RCA to S-Video adapter to the AVM20 and use the AVM20 for switching. This way I can use the S-Video cable I already have run to my TV for using the...

    The Upgraded Anthem AVM-20 2.0 Thread

    Congratulations(shake), I don't have the Denon. On my Yamaha I am not able to disable the BM. I have my fronts set at large, cc and surrounds on small and sub to yes. If you have the AVM20 6ch set to analog-dsp you can use it to tweak the sound. I have ended up switching back to analog-dir...

    Followup...Servo-15 saga ends... for now...

    What a drag. I bought a lamp at Target a couple of moanths ago. It held two light bulbs. It was switched so you could have both bulbs on or just one. When I had just one on the transformers in my Servo-15 and my AVM20 buzzed like crazy. I got rid of the lamp. -Check and see what else is on...

    Followup...Servo-15 saga ends... for now...

    I don't remember the inspector on the bad unit. My dealer hasn't had a chance to find what was wrong with it yet. He is going to keep it and use as a demo. I will post back here when I find out what the problem is. He seemed to think a solder joint was broken when it was assembled or something...

    What kind of speaker wires do you use ?

    Vat a mashugga!? I should have looked in the Yellow Pages for the spelling.

    What kind of speaker wires do you use ?

    Check with your local moil. I hear human foreskin works just as well.

    What kind of speaker wires do you use ?

    Search for a thread that was a challenge to all to prove scientifically that any speaker wire sounds better than any other. I don't recall anyone really could ever do it. The thread went on and on. Its all about the gauge and the quality of the connection. On Roger Russells website he explains...

    What Paradigms for a 11.5x14 size room

    Absolutely, I had to wait for three weeks for my MCA50 and was using a HK PA2000/100wpc. When the MCA50 arrived it was truly like night and day. I had even been on the forums whining about how my Studio 100s sounded. I definitely think an external amp is the way to go. More bang for your buck...

    What's wrong with me?!??!?!?

    Sound like a possible setup problem. If the crossover to the sub is set wrong it might make all these sound to tinny. Also could you use whatever speaker you choose for your mains?

    What Paradigms for a 11.5x14 size room

    I am the proud owner of an MCA50/AVM20. I have heard the PVA70 and was impressed. Especially for the money. How about y'all? I think using a PVA and a reciever as a pre/pro would work pretty well with any of the Studio series.

    What Paradigms for a 11.5x14 size room

    I have the Studio 100s in a 13x13 room. I think any of the studio line would be good. Your receiver won't be able to make the 100s shine. Studio 20s and a good quality sub would sound great. A Servo-15 for example. The 20s could become great rear speakers later if the upgrade bug ever bit you. I...

    Followup...Servo-15 saga ends... for now...

    The mystery of the whistling Servo-15 turned out to be some pesky loose screws on the back that I tightened myself. Paradigm responded very quickly to my email. Thankfully they didn't need to do anything. They did ask for the inspector number off the unit. Anyway I'm going to go break in my new...

    Servo-15 saga continues

    I have posted here before about problems I have had with my Servo-15. First thing when I hooked it up it made horrid popping sounds. That was a loose connection on the servo mechanism. Then a few weeks later it started making a humming sound intermittently. If I turned it off and on again it...

    TIVO problems!

    My first Tivo dvr2 went bad the first week I had it. I exchanged it for a new one. My second one has gone bad ten months out. Tivo changed their technical assistance number to a long distance number. After fifteen minutes on the phone I was told I would get another exchange but I would have to...

    TIVO problems!

    My Tivo has started causing a random sort of flashing. It almost looks like a problem with vertical hold. It gets some white bands that flash on and bounce up the screen. It is intermittant and random. I have done two hours of troubleshooting. It is definitly the Tivo. It seems to stop after the...
