Thanks for the replies. It looks like I'm in the market for a new receiver! My home theater has come a long way over the years. This year's addition was a 42 inch plasma HDTV. I don't have go low end for a receiver this time around (like I did when I bought the Sony), so I am looking at mid to...

I have a Sony model STR-DE675 that has done a nice job for about 4 years. Last weekend the TV sound went out, came back after about an hour, and went out again tonight. Just to test the system, I put in a DVD and got the same result--no sound. For the last six months, the receiver has been...

This offering includes the acoustimass powered sub-bass module, the console, which includes a single CD player, remote control and the wiring harness for the console to acoustimass module hookup. The double jewel cube speakers that came with the unit are not included. $100 plus shipping costs.

I answered my own question thanks to Google! Cablestogo.com had just what I needed. Man do I love the internet! Circuit City, Best Buy and Radio Shack all told me they had never heard of such a device.

I am still working on a solution to the problem of having a cable box with a digital coax audio output that I would like to connect to the fiber optic TV/SAT input on my receiver. One forum member said he had once tackled the problem with a digital coax to optical converter. This sounds...

I am looking at the 36 inch Wegas and have not ruled out the 300 lb. 40 inch set. I know Sony makes factory stands for these sets but they are a little too modern looking for my TV room. Is there another source for nice looking stands that can handle the weight of a big Wega?

I would really like to replace my 15 year old Sony 27 inch TV. A 36 inch CRT Wega would be a nice fit in the space left behind by the 27 inch set, but I am wondering if buying a tube TV, primarily for price considerations, makes sense. Please share your thoughts, particularly as they might apply...

First of all, let me say thank you for all the helpful replies. Based on your answers and some additional help from Sony product support, I think I have a plan that may work. Even though my DVD player is hooked to the DVD fiber optic digital input and the TV cable box will be hooked to the...

According to Sony product support, I can use the coaxial "DVD/LD" input jack on the receiver for cable TV, but I must switch the receiver to DVD when I do this. I have asked them whether it matters that I have my DVD connected to the fiber optic "DVD" connection on the receiver, i.e. do I have...

The digital coax input on my receiver is labeled "DVD/LD". I have tried connecting the cable box to this jack, with a Monster digital coax cable, and nothing happened--no sound at all. Would this setup work if I left the receiver set on "DVD" rather than switching back to the "TV" setting when I...

This is my first posting so please bear with me. My home theatre system uses a Sony STR-DE675 receiver. When I play a DVD, the receiver shows a blue multi-channel decoder light to indicate that the Dolby 5.1 signal is being decoded. Shouldn't the blue light also come on (it doesn't) when I am...
