    Need quick help - Onkyo SR608 v. Sony STRDA4400ES v. ???

    I will, but I have to get my speakers in place, right. My room was setup at a 45 degree angle. Now we're turning it to face N/S. So, I have to rearrange my speakers, run some new wires, etc., to get them into final location. THEN I'll do the Audyssey test. (Right?)

    LG 55LH90 owners' thread?

    The TV is to arrive on Wednesday and I'm actually nervous about setting it up! Going from a 35" CRT straight to a 55" LED LCD is a bit intimidating, and thinking about the countless tweakable settings gives me heartburn. 15 years ago, I was movie-phile. Now technology has left me behind. I...

    LG 55LH90 owners' thread?

    So it's a mode I could switch to when I'm watching a movie at night, but not for daytime viewing?

    Oh, outstanding! I hope the 608 works out well for me. I'm pretty jazzed about it, since I hear such great things. I'm sure it takes a phD to setup, but hopefully with the help of all the threads here, I'll be able to get it working. is there a setup thread for Onkyo 608 owners?

    LG 55LH90 owners' thread?

    I've heard that there are dozens and dozens of different adjustable settings. Is the THX setting a warmer, softer display? How would the THX stand up in a room with a lot of ambient light?

    LG 55LH90 owners' thread?

    I just bought an LG 55LH90, which should arrive in 2 weeks. I'm wondering if there's an owners' thread here somewhere to give me guidance on setup. I've seen lots of those types of threads for diff equipment, with hints and steps on how to calibrate, maximize, setup, etc. Without help, I'm...

    Final selections for new HT. Need input - Buying tomorrow!

    Ah well, guess everyone was too busy to help. I went ahead and placed my order, but substituted the Onkyo SR608 receiver and LG RC897T dvd/vcr converter. How I'll set up the room, I have no idea, but at least the equipment order is in processing!

    Need quick help - Onkyo SR608 v. Sony STRDA4400ES v. ???

    Nice! I plan to set mine up in an open rack as well, so no worries there. I had one salesman tell me that this model can get so hot you can "fry an egg on it." So I was a tad bit nervous about it. Now, not so much. As an aside, I opted on the Sony BDP-S570 blu-ray player. The salesman was...

    Need quick help - Onkyo SR608 v. Sony STRDA4400ES v. ???

    Thanks, Ed. I think I'm sold on the Onkyo. I'm a bit concerned about the heating issue, but I'm going to try to setup my components so the Onkyo is in the open air, and not in a position to roast any of the other components. What do you do to avoid heating problems with yours?

    Need quick help - Onkyo SR608 v. Sony STRDA4400ES v. ???

    I am getting a new HT system today, and am befuddled on which receiver to get. I like the looks of the Sony 4400's features (like Sirius and I-pod compatibility) but haven't seen anyone tout it. Everybody seems to like Onkyos, but a lot complain about clicking problems. So I need quick...

    Ok, after endless reading, and countless websites and reviews and forum threads, here's where I am now. I'm not married to ANY of these, so please please please let me know if you think I should substitute for anything. TV: LG 55LH90 (matte) Blu-Ray: Sony BDP-S570 Receiver: Sony...
