Yeah, the problem I've always had with getting a good picture on my TV's is that the source you use doesn't usually have proper coloring due to lighting in the actual source. If you use the face of a person sitting in front of a fire in a movie to balance your flesh tones, you're going to get...

What Greg posted is exactly how I calibrated my AVR 525. It's actually quite a pain in the ass thanks to the timeout for the settings. You adjust the dB a little bit, stop and look at your meter, and by the time the weighting has stabilized the needle, the dB display has reset itself to the main...

The Avia video calibration alone is worth the cost of the disc, in my opinion. My HDTV has never looked so good. I don't know what type of calibration your receiver is capable of, but I would recommend calibration of it if there is any at all.

Ooops, I meant to post this to the receiver's board. If a mod reads this, could you move it please. Thanks

So.. everything was fine with my system after getting it set up. I started moving some items back into the HT room... suddenly the remote was working sporatically. I was concerned that this was a defect, as the model is refurbished, but a friend had an idea that maybe the flourescent Knob...

Wouldn't setting your crossover at 80Hz for the mains/surrounds and setting the Sub crossover (in receiver, not on Sub) at 60Hz result in a gap between 60 and 80Hz?

The setup doc of my SVS clearly states that the crossover on the Sub should be disabled (which is likely 200Hz on your sub, if there's not a switch removing it altogether) when you have a Receiver that will be peforming Bass Management. By turning the Sub on in the receiver, you're enabling the...

I have this question as well. I have the HK 525 and a couple S310's as fronts with an SVS 25-31pci sub. It seems like such a waste to have the fronts set as small when they're probably very capable of handling some of the lower frequencies. Similarly, I don't know if setting Sub LFE + L/R...

Thanks for the Audio Advisor reference. I snagged this from them for $204 (including shipping) http ://www .audioadvisor. com/store/productdetail.asp?Variant=1&AttribNum=1&pf_id=2429&sku=SALA5BCS&selAttribute_1=Black

$300 seems awfully expensive for that unit. In any case, thanks for the in-home shots of the unit, that's helpful. Pretty big, isn't it. I'll take a look at the walmart superstore here, see if it grows on me enough to spent that kind of money (after spending well over my $2000 budget on HT...

Well, I just bought the $511 Harman Kardon AVR-525 from OneCall. The warranty is 2 years parts and labor, walk-in service. The nearest walk-in service center to me is about 10 hours south in Miami. However, it'd be 10 hours south for a new unit as well. I saved a little money, and assumed a...

Heh, funny. I just bought an H/K 525 and 20 of these same plugs from Ebay :) You can see from the back panel of this receiver: http ://www .harmankardon. com/back.asp?prod=AVR%20525&cat=REC&sType=C All the L/R connections will work with dual plugs, except for the speakers themselves. I...

I need an audio equipment rack/cabinet for my new HT system. I don't want to spend a lot of money (maybe $150, I am willing to consider more), and I don't really want one of those do-it-yourself partical board jobbies that aren't stable and have cardboard backs. Something fairly open, shelved...

(remove the spaces from URL to view.. still can't seem to post URLs) http :// cgi . ebay . com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3042211170&category=3276 The merchant is a place call Orange County Speaker Inc. Does anyone have any info on the quality of these? They're definitely priced low...

You expect me to buy audio equipment from Dr. Seuss? :D Was this website hacked, or did I just miss the relevance? :)

I don't know about anyone else, but I don't have the kind of time to read through 12 pages of posts. Could someone who's been following this thread give a run down/summation on the capabilities/faults of this player? Or has it not been determined yet? Thanks Jay

I've sent you a PM (actually 2), and I can't seem to see the record of me sending it in my Sent PM's list... If you read this, and you have no PM's from me, we can discuss in another way.

I'm interested in checking out SACD (namely, Dark Side of the Moon.. mmm), and I also need a CD changer (preferably larger than 5 discs). However, I also want to keep my budget reasonable. Is it a pipe dream to hope for a CD Changer with SACD support and considerably more than 5 disc...

What's the story here? Everywhere I look for these speakers, they're out of stock. The only place that does have them (OneCall) is asking $299.88 (retail $399.99). That's the price of the JBL S38II's ($299.99, retail $499.99)! I had such a nice prospective system config going, and now it's...

I'm thinking of buying a PCi 25-31 currently as part of my new HT system, so I may also be interested in buying this off you, if the price is right. Send me a PM if you're interested. Sorry about your divorce. Find yourself a new one that LIKES big rumbling bass, and high quality sound :)

Thanks for the welcome!

I've been researching a new HT system for the past week or so, and based on positive reviews, here's what I've come up with: (prices from www . jandr . com, if you know of better prices, please don't hesitate) Receiver: Harman Kardon AVR-525 $699.99 Center: JBL S-Center II Studio 3-Way...
