    One Optical Audio out - Two Optical Audio inputs

    Thank you so much Mr. Wayne...appreciate you taking the time. I did google but am confused with the splitting. Does the device actually split the sound so you only have half the signal? Or do you get the FULL signal for whatever device you're using. Hence was the reason for me posting here...

    One Optical Audio out - Two Optical Audio inputs

    I hope I am not being redundant here as I don't want to waste people's time. I did do a search and not sure if my question has ever been addressed or answered. To say the least, I am confused as I don't want to SPLIT the audio, I only want the FULL audio to go to whatever device I choose. I...

    Center Speaker Choice

    Thanks for your input Bill. My fronts are Acoustic Reference Studio Monitor 1201 (Liquid Cooled-Poly) I don't know much about these speakers, they are 7-9 years old, and I was basically given these. I have been told they are very good speakers, but I just don't know. They do sound good and are...

    My new B & W speakers.

    Mr. Steve, ... Can't help but just love your post. I am a very true HT myself. Had an Onkyo system for over 21 years before just recently upgrading to yet another onkyo. I am from the Altec speaker days when BIGGER was better. (Late 60's early 70's) My point is... I too am very interested in...

    Center Speaker Choice

    I have what one might consider a moderately okay home theater. Half-way mid range receiver, Onkyo TX-700, a couple yester-year liquid cooled main speakers, a 12" velodyne sub. But my center and rear surrounds are radio shack cheapies. I have been doing all sorts of research and reading the...

    Coaxial or Optical ??

    I will have to say I had no idea the thread would become so involved. I have to thank everyone for their input, advice, and comments. However, in reality, I am a little disappointed that we have such negative opinions on where someone shops. You a nobody if you buy from "Circut City". I...

    Coaxial or Optical ??

    A big hats off to the lot of you and a gracious handshake !! My DVD player has 6 of the RCA type connectors. Has a coaxial type connector next to an opitical connector. (and of course the typical 2 stero RCA connections) Thanks again !!

    Coaxial or Optical ??

    Was wondering if I could get help in maybe what might be a stupid question. I am experienced only in the yesteryear stereo stuff. Have an Onkyo TX-SR700 receiver and want to hook up my DVD and VHS to the receiver. Which is the better to use for hooking up my DVD to the receiver? Coaxial...

    Speaker wire & Video in

    Thanks Scott for filling me in. I am not stupid, but somehow this thing is not "clicking". I have a VCR and DVD player and that is all I am using and have. I don't want to do anything else except watch pre-recorded movies. Trying to make heads or tails from the owners manual with...

    Speaker wire & Video in

    Thanks Mr. Bob. I understand now what's happening. I have a projection TV, 56"... and it's okay for now. (It's in our budget as it is paid for, ha) I do have a pretty good VCR also that has S-video. So with your advice, I will probably use the reciever as a switching device. Been trying to...

    Speaker wire & Video in

    And again I say "thank you"... I wish there were special words for special people in this forum. This is great !! I am excited about hooking this all up, but wanted some input from the forum, but was reluctant to post as I thought it might take too long for replies. I was not disappointed ...

    Speaker wire & Video in

    Just want to first say this forum is awesome! I am a newbie and always treated with respect. Moving along, just picked up an Onkyo TX-SR700 and had a couple of questions. I would like to use 12 gauge oxygen free cable for my speakers. That seems to be just about the general consenus among most...
