John, Yes, that is correct. When I watch almost any movie on satellite in DD5.1 or just standard audio, the yamaha always has performed well as far as surround sound goes. I just recently began experimenting with the DVD recorder and playing the recordings back on a seperate DVD player thru...

My question to everyone is related to the recording and playback of DVD_R media on my hometheater system. I am using the Panasonic DMR-E95HS and recording onto DVD-R's from a Directv staellite feed. When I record a movie from Directv that is broadcast in DD 5.1 it then downgrades to DD 2.0 on...

My question is: I have a average home theater/music system in my home and have a toshiba dvd-a player with a few titles (unfortunately there are slim pickings) and wonder if you need a more high end system to take advantage of the increased clarity & definition? If so how much better speakers...

I just set up my new HSU VTF-2 and have a few questions for those of you familiar with this great sub. On the sub's amp you have 2 choices for the crossover being set to out or in. (IN) being the setting for utilizing the subs crossover right? If so, this is the setting I am currently using...

Mike, last night I tried to isolate the problem by leaving the yamaha & everything else off and the amp still makes the hiss. I swithed interconnects around from the yamaha to the amp, I tried using the different pre-outs on the yamaha to different inputs on the amp. Everytime I played...

In another post, I talked about my B&K ref 200.3 amp making a hissing/static sound & thump when its fired up for the 1st time. It only comes out of one channel. I have narrowed it down to the fact that it only can be the amp and no other component. I use the amp for my front 3 speakers. I now...

The odd thing is, on Monday I called and talked to a B&K tech and he said that this static sound is ok as long as it stops. The sound does stop after a few seconds, I just hope it does not cause problems with my speakers. Also, I hope I did not get a faulty amp, being that it is only 2 months...

Any comments on this would be greatly appreciated. I have the B&K ref 200.3 for my front 3 speakers hooked up to a yamaha receiver as my processor. When I first go to turn on the amp, after all other components are switched on first (B&K recommends), I get a 1 second fairly loud hissing or...

Thanks for the help, I appreciate it.;)

My new home in Wisconsin is just about 6 months old. My question to anyone is that I currently run a b&k 200.3 amp, 35"tv, directv satellite reciever, dvd player, and a Yamaha reciever all off of one outlet through a monster cable surge protector. Is this not a good idea, and would it benefit me...

I also have a similar setup: Fronts BA vr-950's Center CRC Sorrounds CR75's Yamaha rxv-1300 B&K ref amp 200.3 (fronts & center) Toshiba dvd audio player 4800 Multi channel music is good with this setup especially with the new amp. But, going with another pair of 950's in the rear would...

My cd player is an inexpensive toshiba sd-4800 dvd/audio player. Upgrade the Boston acoustics, hey? I have been quite pleased with their sound. Thought maybe a cleaner & more powerful amp would bring them alive.

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum and could use some advice from all of those more experienced in the "audiophile world" than me. The situation. Looking to move up to seperates over my current A/V receiver & etc. Wondering where my money is best spent & on what brands. The first thing I have...
