I've had a few purchasing experiences with 6th ave, but only in their online store, not brick and mortar. Both of the purchases invovled digital camcorders, one as a gift, the other to get some footage of my 5 month old. The first package arrived with the outside box looking like no damage...
I've been considering how to eliminate the need for CD use in my home theater and get access to my mp3s, as well. Originally, I thought about using an older pc I had with a new chaintech av-710 sound card (can do bit-perfect digital output via asio plugin), but then I found some of the wireless...
I had a similar experience with Fedex shipping some AR speakers that I bought from someone in WA (I'm in NY). The speakers were double-boxed and well-packed. When the Fedex guy came to deliver them, however, and my wife asked, "Do you need any help?", he said, "No," and then proceeds to drop...
Hello everyone, I recently purchased (in August) what I thought to be an AR4C hi-res center channel speaker from someone on ebay. All of the pictures I could find seems to match the enclosure structure and the tweeter looked similar but not the same! I really noticed the difference after I...
I thought I had more links, but I only have links to Phil's site and this (add www to the front): soundandvisionmag.com/article.asp?section_id=3&article_id=595&page_number=2&preview= I know I was able to find more input by searching on this and other forums. If you have the time I would be...
Steve, I've listened to the jbl northridge series at Best Buy (e10s, 20s, 30s, 50s, 60s, 80s, and center ec25) and there was a marked difference between the e60s and e80s, even on the cheesy yamaha pro-logic receiver they were hooked up to. The price difference between e60s and e80s is about...
I just went through the process of evaluating and purchasing a 27" TV with the same budget constraints, and I ended up with the Sony Wega KV-27FS100. The picture is really amazing on this TV. The reception of the tuner is also quite good, considering I'm running rabbit ears off of this thing. I...
Just wanted to thank everyone again because I spoke with Ed at customer service for harmon kardon yesterday and they're issuing an RMA to the service center that has my receiver and they're going to be replacing it with an AVR525-Z, which is a step up, at least. It's true that firm and polite...
I talked to the guy at the service center today (he was not in yesterday) and he said they already did the fix specified in the service bulletin. That was actually the first thing they tried, he told me. From how he spoke it sounded like he was not certain what to do next. They've tried that...
Thanks to Jason and Wayne for your suggestions and advice. John, I'm not certain if they did the repair you specified. From my conversations with the service tech. the only fixes that have been performed were on the digital decoder board. I will ask on Monday and see what they say. Is...
Hi everyone, I recently (well, we'll get to what "recently" means in a second) brought my AVR520 into my local authorized service center for an issue I described in the thread with post id 1890822. (Won't let me post a link to this forum. I wouldn't think that would be a problem.) Basically, I...
I didn't think it would be noise from the electrical input, but I couldn't be sure. Could the digital processor simply malfunction like this? Anyway, I'm taking it in to a service center tomorrow. I bought this unit as a refurb and my warantee is up soon, so I really want this to get...
Well, I tried a new digital coax cable and that didn't change the amount of popping at all, and I also tried a surge protector with a 35db noise filter on it and that didn't help either. I'll see if I can get a hold of another dvd player, but why would the computer and dvd player cause the same...
Any reason the dvd player over the receiver besides that no one else seems to have had the problem? It does seem like the signal from the dvd player is clean when listened to and recorded on my computer. I should mention that these sounds occur during dvd playback, cd playback, and mp3...
Hi everyone, My first post here, but I've looked around here for a few weeks looking for cable/interconnect guidance. I recently purchased a HK AVR 520 receiver and a toshiba sd-3805 dvd changer. I initially had the sound from the dvd player hooked up via the analog rca outputs to my 520. I...
