    You will definitely have to look for something used, especially for four optical outputs.

    Power rating ?

    Regarding the stereo frequency range, the amp obviously couldn't push enough power to drive the lower ranges (20-40Hz) at 90 watts, so rather than list the full range wattage, Sony cut down the range. There must have been a big drop off for the lowest frequencies. 100 watts is the holy grail for...

    (Marantz) audio dropouts...is this normal?

    Since you had the DVD player connected to the Sony receiver via the Panny's analog outputs, it's really hard to say if the problem lies with the DVD player or the Marantz. Do you know anyone with a HT setup, with which you could test the DVD player and coax digital cable that you are using...

    New receiver?

    I'm using a Pioneer Elite VSX-56TXi with Definitive BP-2004TL fronts, CLR2002 center and BP2X surrounds. I'm happy with the detail and warmth of the sound that the combo produces. I will probably eventually add a separate amp and use the receiver as a pre/pro, but it is doing the job well for...

    (Marantz) audio dropouts...is this normal?

    I have used four different receivers (Marantz SR-19, Pioneer Elite VSX-33TX, Onkyo TX-DS777, and currently using Pioneer Elite VSX-56TXi) over the past four years or so, and I can't remember ever having an audio dropout with any of the four. I have been using a Panasonic DVD-RP62 DVD player for...

    Home Theater Receiver w/Web Access?

    WebTV built in to a receiver, basically? Onkyo has some receivers that have connectivity for listening to Internet radio broadcasts, as well as MP3s from PCs, but I don't know of any receiver that has built-in web browsing capability.

    What is a Digital Amplifier receiver

    Sure the digital recs will do 2 channel. The digital amps have nothing to do with processing/decoding. I think you're confusing the amps with the fact that digital source inputs are frequently used for multi-channel sources (Dolby Digital, DTS, etc.). Many CD players have digital outputs, and...

    TV stand and heat dissipation for receiver

    I am getting (hopefully today) a Pioneer Elite VSX-56TXi, and am also going to get a new TV stand. Circuit City has a Z-Line Palisades stand that I really like. Pioneer's manual for the receiver says to keep 8" of open space above the receiver to allow heat to escape. The 56TXi is 7 7/16", the...
