What I meant was watching 1080i using a Blu-Ray disc from a non-1080p HDTV. So you're saying due to the compression coming from digital cable/satellite, the 1080i coming from my Blu-Ray will look better than the broadcastings. I have the pioneer 60" plasma and the picture coming from the...
BTW, how is the image of 1080i coming from the DVD versus the amazing 1080i image coming from the TV broadcastings? With both having the same resolution, I'm hoping it'll yielf the same results. Thanks, Dave
I know this is a dumb question, but would I still be able to benefit from Blu-Ray using my current HDTV (1080i, 720p)? And for the lack of HDMI on my current receiver, are there any Blu-Ray players with 5.1 analog outputs to enable lossless sound connectivity? Thanks!
I have a Sony 34in Wega. My sub was placed next to it and over time, that has cause the picture to tilt. Sony TVs have a menu option that allows you to adjust the tilt angle, but I've tried that and the picture is still way off. I've placed my sub somewhere else now. Has anyone out there ever...
I see what you mean. Are you saying I won't need to connect the preamp's LFE OUT to one of the X30's inputs. But what happens to 5.1 setup for movies, because I'm 70/30 HT/music. Will setting the sub setting to NONE on the preamp affect the sound processing?? The setup that you mentioned, is it...
Paul, I do have an Outlaw 755 amp (200wpc x 5). But I'm not following you. Are you saying there's speakers inputs on the X-30 box for use right between preamp and amp??
Anyone out there with a Servo 15? I own a used Servo 15 without the X-30. For my birthday, my buddy ordered me X-30 crossover box. The servo doesn't have any crossover or phase control settings, that's why he's getting me that. This is my first sub. I'm not sure if there's any use for the X-30...
THanks guys. I understand what I have to do now. I sure don't need a fancy remote or more inputs. If it doesn't make any sonic difference, I should just stick with my Marantz. Currently my Marantz doesn't have the DTS ES or DDEX. Do you guys think it's fine to buy a lower end receiver that has...
My current setup is *Marantz 7200 receiver (found out it's only 27wpc with all channels driven from Sound & Vision mag.) *Outlaw 755 amp (200wpc) *Paradigm Studios all around This is my story. I bought the Outlaw amp to give my Studios more punch. I barely notice any difference except...
I just want to find out what brand you guys prefer to connect my Outlaw 755 (200x5) amp to my preamp. Need five .5m cables for around a $100. I came across "Signal Cables." Are they any good? Right now, I'm just using very cheap "RCA" cables to connect the two. Will upgrading to those exotic...
I just recently bought an Outlaw 755 (200watts x 5) amp. I have Paradigm: Studio 60s - mains; rated max input power 150w Studio CC - center; rated max input power 130w Studio 20s - rears; rated max input power 100W My question is will the 755 blow out my drivers??? Any inputs...
Yeah, I heard people talking about connecting two subs to the amp, but didn't realize it has to be passive subs. Well Wayne, thanks for clearing it up for me.
Has anybody here ever built their own AV rack?? Can I go to Home Depot and find some simple connect together shelves?? I don't want to spend a fortune for those fancy ones, just want a simple sturdy rack to put those heavy amps and receivers onto???
Is it possible to connect a sub to an amp, if so is it any better?? I currently have Paradigm PDR-12 and an Outlaw 7100 (100wpc x 7) amp is on the way.
Wow, long post. ;) I have: Mains - 60s Rears - 20s CC - CC Sub- PDR-12 I'm seriously considering an upgrade to PS-1200, hoping it'll give me more tigther bass and go lower than 35Hz. Mike what sub do you have? Anyway, a knowledgeable guy from ecoustic.com just told me Elite would not...
I'm considering the 53tx. Hope it'll outperform my Marantz 7200 in both music and HT. Ebay has it for $750 and the retail is $1500, is that right? That's a big bargain.
Has anybody ever compared the two? I currently have a Marantz 7200. Originally the receiver was meant to power my Perfomance line Paradigms. But I recently went all out for Paradigm Reference line setup. The result is not what I expected. I expected more clarity and midrange. The speakers...
I'm trying to run my sub to the back of my living room approximately 25ft. Where can I buy it that long or can I make it myself using coax cable. If I can, what kind of coax. Thanks.
Hey guys, I was trying to hook up the SR-7200. No sound from sub. Sub is activated through receiver's OSD and DVD player's OSD. Receiver front panel's "SW" icon does light up but doesn't give me anything. It's hooked up using a regular RCA digital coax from the receiver's pre-out subwoofer to...
