A couple of points here...Connecting the HDMI cables from sources to receiver and then receiver to TV is correct. The sound will come from your receiver to the external speakers. In order to get video, you must have the TV setup indicating the proper HDMI input (HDMI1, HDMI2, etc.) wherever...

Great! It worked. Thanks for the response. Marty

Here is a note I just sent to OPPO Support. Is anyone else familiar with the problem? I recently purchased the OPPO BDP-83 from you and was pleased with the performance until I recently viewed the blu-ray movie "2012." In that movie, there are scenes where the language is foreign (Chinese)...

Forgot to check the box to get email notifications...did it on this one. Also, found the solution to the problem by trial & error with a little help from the folks at Denon.

Just spent three days trying to learn the proper setup for the Denon AVR-3808CI by trial and error. The manual is close to useless and the variations of settings is mind-boggling. I have a Samsung Blu-Ray Player (HDMI), a Pioneer Laserdisc Player (also functions as CD transport, set as...

Just purchased an LG Blu-Ray disc rewriter (BE06LU10) for my PC and can't seem to get it to play Blu-Ray discs on the PC. I'm not sure if the graphics card and/or monitor can handle it. I can play DVDs and CDs without any problem, but when I put in a blu-ray disc and try to play it (using...

In the past, I have witnessed some demo DVDs that excerpted different movies resulting in 10 to 15 showpiece scenes. I'd like to do the same with some blu-ray movies, if possible. Therein lies my motive for wanting to install a burner/player. The player hopefully would allow me to rip the movies...

I'd like to add a blu-ray burner/player to my HP Media Center PC (m7457c) but there are no available drive slots. Therefore I believe that I need an external blu-ray burner/player or an internal SATA burner/player that can be converted to an external USB drive. First question: What would you...

New Firmware upgrade (version 2.2 dated 2/21/08) addressed the problem I was having with the special features disc of POTC - AWE but I still see some problems with intermittent stalling and choppy dialogue and pictures on the special features disc. Seems like Samsung hasn't kept in touch with...

Installed the new firmware update (version 2.1) and finally got to watch POTC-AWE. Still some minor glitches, but was able to get around them. I also was able to load and watch "Live Free or Die Hard" but it took quite a bit of time to load. No complaint.....just happy to finally get an update...

I am extremely disappointed in Samsung and the problems with the BD-P1200. The company has long recognized the problems with the DVDs "Pirates Of The Caribbean - At World's End" and "Live Free or Die Hard" but the promised firmware upgrades are not yet available (as of 2/4/08). When attempting...

Spoke to Disney people and they said that the problem is the sophisticated JAVA code that they added to this disc (why the heck did they have to be so fancy?). The Samsung people are working on a firmware upgrade (so the Samsung people say). As of this date (Dec 23, 2007) there is no fix. Marty

Just received the bluray disc of Pirates of The Caribbean-At World's End. I cannot seem to get by the introductory scenes of Jolly Roger and into either the main menu or the movie. Have you heard of any problems with this disc? Thanks. Marty

The DVD called "Celibidache!" was released in 1997 and I cannot seem to find a copy. It is about the celebrated conductor Sergiu Celibidache and was directed by his son, Serge. If anyone has or knows where I might find this DVD, please let me know. Thanks. I have tried eBay, Amazon, and many...

I, too, am in the Boynton area. What are your interests and what kind of system do you have? My home theater/music system is based on a Lexicon MC-8 processor, Samsung DVD player, Toshiba universal disc player, Pioneer Elite laserdisc/CD transport, Outlaw amp, Technics turntable, Grado...

I've been looking for folks in the South Florida area (Fort Lauderdale, Boca Raton, Delray, Boynton, West Palm, etc.) who would like to get together electronically or in person to share issues and interests in the home theater and music arenas. I have found it difficult to find people nearby who...

Go for it!! Sell 'em!! Enjoy!!

Tim, Structured Wiring is the term used for complete networking of your home for cable TV, computer networking, telephone, and you can throw in speaker wiring as an extra. Essentially it runs coax (RG6) and network (Cat5e) cables to every room in the house from a panel in the garage or utility...

The question still remains...how do you feel about the quality of the sound and how immersed are you in audiophilia? If you are just getting started in this room then I'd go for the system you mentioned. Receivers are getting very sophisticated and will give you much enjoyment. You can always...

Just a thought...I pre-wired our new home and had the electrician leave small holes with a length of wire hanging out (I had already mapped the location of in-wall and floor standing, and in-ceiling speakers) so that I could mount the speakers in the walls/ceiling. If, however, your speakers...

If money is NOT a problem in the long run (3-5 years) then keep the amps and upgrade slowly with other components. The sound and picture will be worth it. Remember, the resale value on good stuff allows you to upgrade with fairly modest infusions of cash. I've always found it hard to move...

I have owned Linksys routers (first 802.11b then g) and used them with wireless cards on my laptop and a wireless add-on to my desktop, both with cable modem. Within 30-40 feet they've been terrific. Beyond that, the signal degrades substantially in a home environment. I've even tried the...

Spoke to the DirecTV folks about the Hughes HR10-250 (at $1000) and using it for my home theater setup. They will include it in their multi room packages by merely adding the $1000 to the price of the package. Since installation is included with the package, I thought that the extra money for...

I am interested in getting HDTV signals (South Florida) and haven't decided on service. Should it be VOOM, DirecTV, "Off-Air", or combinations of above? Cable company (Adelphia) is poor source for programming at present and the projections are bleak. Also, what is a good HDTV receiver (Hughes...
