yes I do have a center speakers, should be 5 speakers + sub. Jack i do have my dvd set up correctly to spf/raw per the instructions to get the dolby surround. I rechecked my documentation that came with the receiver and it says to in order to get dobly digital or dts the receiver has to be in...

Jack, I thought I was playing Dolby Digital. I have the dvd player connected to the receiver with digital coax, and set up the receiver dvd input to digital, therefore if i play a dolby digital dvd shouldn't it automatically be dolby digital?

I recently bought a Onkyo 510 home theater speaker package (4 speakers +sub) and have a question in regards to the different sound modes you can listen to through the receiver. I have a Pioneer VSX-711 receiver and since I installed the speakers I have been experimenting with the different sound...

I apologize if this seems like a dumb question but I recently found a pair of Tannoy 6.5 PBM studio monitors that I purchased during the late 80's. I do not need them and would like to put them on EBAY and see how much I can get for them. Before I do that I want to test them and make sure they...

well I can't find my old receiver, I think my wife sold it at a garage sale last year. If I were to buy and amp to hook up the sub do I need a certain wattage or a certain amt of power from the amp? I see radio shack sells an RCA amp for $60, would this be sufficient for what I need it to do...

thanks guys, going to try this out and see how it works. Hopefully it will sound good. Will let you know.

Brian, yes there is only speakerwire coming out of the back of the sub. If I understood you correctly I can hook up the speakerwire from the sub to an old receiver( I have an old pioneer receiver from the 80's somewhere in the basement that I think still works)and then run an RCA cable from that...

Thanks for the reply guys. The problem is the sub does not have any inputs or outputs on the back of it... just 2 wires coming out of the back to plug into the receiver. So I can wire any other speakers into the back of it. I guess I am looking for a way to connect those 2 wires to the sub...

Last week I bought some speakers for $75 on closeout at BJ’s to use as home theather speakers. They are Pioneer speakers and the package included 2 front speakers, 2 surround speakers, 1 center channel speaker, and a subwoofer. After doing a little research I found that the speakers were part of...

Hello all, I am looking for a some help on this - a couple of weeks ago I purchased a 46” Sony KP46WT500 RPTV. I have it hooked up to a DVR cable box from Time Warner. I get the basic cable, digital cable, and showtime movie channels. I have noticed that when I am watching one of the showtime...

David, I just purchased the SOny 46" RPTV on Man's recommendation a couple of weeks ago and I am very happy with it. It's my first RPTV. Picture quality is excellent for dvd's and ditigal cable channels. The analog channels on cable are a little grainy but I think they are like that no matter...

Jack and Man, just wanted to let you know that I got the sony 46" and it is great, I like it much better than the jvc I orignally purchased. The picture quality is much better on the sony than the JVC. I also have a question on calibration. I have been looking through the forum and notice...

Well I went to Circuit City today and took Man's advice and got the Sony 46" widescreen. I was split on whether to get the 46" or 51" but ended up going with the 46" as it looked like it had a better picture than the 51". Did not go with the extended warranty which did not make the sales rep too...

Thanks for the advice Jack, I did call them this morning after reading what Man said and told them I wanted to return it and they said they would take it back no problem. They said to come out and pick out one I liked and they would deliver it and pick up the other one. Do you have any...

Man, I am beggining to wonder myself if I should consider returning the TV back to CC and getting another one. It would be a hassle but it might be worth it since I am concerned about the life of the TV. I am not sure if they would take it back though since it was an open box, I don't know if...

geez guys now you are scaring me about buying the demo model. I wish I would have found this board sooner and asked this question before I decided to buy a demo model. All of this stuff is new to me. The TV got delivered this afternoon and I did go back and get the extended warranty. I guess at...

jack what do you mean by "torch mode"?

Thanks for the advice guys. I am going to get the extended warranty just to protect myself in case something happens to the tv. My reasoning for buying an open box was because you can save a good deal off the retail price. A friend of mine bought an open box Sony 57" and has had it for over 3...

This is my first time posting here. Yesterday I purchased a RPTV from Circuit City. I bought a 56" JVC - AV-WP30. It's an open box item I bought for $ 1350 and it retails for $1700 -$ 1800. I am not sure whether or not to get the extended warranty. The warranty breaks down to about $100 per...
