    Surge Protectors and grounding?

    Surge protectors connected in serial seems to be the recommended way. Can you reach the HT equipments while your second surge protector is plugged into your first surge protector?

    ***Official Digital Video Essentials Discussion Thread***

    is it just me, or is color and tint adjustment easier with the THX optimizer test(with blue filter), than the tests that come with DVE? I tried adjusting it with DVE for like an hour, then decided to try the THX one - since now I have a blue filter - and noticed that it was so much easier...

    most likely not this, but maybe 'audio only mode'? probably not, since it wasn't black at the start of the dvd

    Pioneer VSX-D812 or Onkyo TX-SR601 ???

    Pioneer(for the vsx-*12 series) lists their power output at 1kHz @ 1.0% thd or something to that extent, and the home theater primer states that that would equal about 40watts per channel or something like that. on the otherhand, onkyo lists their power at 20Hz-20kHz @ 0.x or 0.0x% thd, so it's...

    AR HC6 Owners

    Hi John, I had a post in the past regarding the x-over for the HC6 too. Basically, you set the sub's x-over to 150Hz as you stated, and ideally your receiver's x-over would be set to 120Hz(based on Phil's data, look up my previous threads, I don't have that many). In my case, I have the...

    recommended crossover frequency for HC6

If I got the right information from the above posts, I would go with 150Hz on the sub and 100Hz or...

    recommended crossover frequency for HC6

    Hi, I'm wondering if anyone knows what the recommended crossover frequency for the HC6 is(on the subwoofer), and also if I set it to a certain number, say 100Hz, then do I also set the crossover setting of the receiver to 100Hz, or do they not necessarily have to be the same? Any help is...

    bah, so the pioneer d712k is around 35-40wpc i guess

    the manual states that the d712k is 100W @ 1kHz 1.0% thd for 5 channels. how many wpc does that turn out to be? and also, will that be enough to drive my AR HC6 easily? maybe I should've went with the clearance Onkyo SR500? how do I know if that particular SR500 has the LFE bug? lots of...

    Ah, thanks for the replies. Now I can rest assured and use the wire happily :D One more question, do spring clips only take bare wire? Specifically, for the AR HC6. Thanks again :emoji_thumbsup:
