    looking for Panasonic SA-XR50 remote control operation guide

    Nobody willing to scan their guide ? I know this is a popular receiver :D Panasonic customer care replied to my e-mail but they only sent the cover page in a .tiff file :frowning: I replied back asking for the rest of the pages so hopefully they will come through.

    question about component video hook-up

    Thanks for the info guys. Got it to work after picking up a few extra S-video cables. I did want the video switching as I think it's nice. System is all hooked ap and working good. Had a sound issue with the Digital Coax to the DVD player and then I remembered to check the audio settings of the...

    looking for Panasonic SA-XR50 remote control operation guide

    question about component video hook-up

    Newbie question... Hooking up a Panny SA-XR50 to a Samsung DVD player and an old Hitachi TV. TV only has RCA and S-Video inputs. I have the RCA going to the Moniter out on the receiver. I bought component video cables thinking I could get the best quality but I'm not getting a picture on...

    Waterproof outdoor speakers?

    I'm not sure what your definition of "inexpensive" is but I have a pair of Energy Temptests that sound nice and they seem very tough and have a 5 year warranty. I take them inside in the winter (Canadian) just because we are never outside. Also Athena makes an outdoor speaker with a bigger...

    How do i get my ribs to be tender?

    10 to 16 hours on the grill ? Assuming you are using a gas grill you must have to fill your tank once a week ! Question: What exactly are baby back ribs ? I only tend to see Side ribs or back ribs at our supermarkets. Is there something special about "Baby Back" as opposed to just pork back...

    InFocus 'acceptable missing pixels'?

    OMG are you serious ? I would be pissed. I don't own a projector but if I paid that kind of money and had a bad pixel, they'd better replace it :angry: Who did you speak to ? I would definitly escalate things with a manager or whatever needs to be done.

    5.1, 6.1, 7.1

    http://www.dolby.com/images/consumer...nt/room_d2.gif Here is an example of a 7.1 set-up. 6.1 you would simply take on of the rear speakers out and center the one that remains. (I believe that's how it goes anyway)

    Pressure washers-what kind to buy?

    Well I got my gas powered pressure washer going. There must have been water in the gas. I drained the gas, put in some gas treatment and fresh gas and after a few pulls got 'er going. had it running for a while tonight. From now on the cover goes on when it's giving rain ;)

    Pressure washers-what kind to buy?

    Checked air filter and it looks clean. Might still be damp but I don't think that would matter ? I called their support line and there is a place in town that services them so hopefully they will fix it under warranty. Annoying to have to take it down there though. From now on I'm gonna cover...

    Yamaha RX-V757, good buy?

    My 650 has the pure direct so I'm sure the 750 had it. I would try to match up the centre to your mains if possible. Just so it's matched well. I have Athena's all the way around. F1's, C1 and R1's. Good budget speakers. What speakers do you have so far ?

    Pressure washers-what kind to buy?

    Well I bought a Simoniz gas powered one (Canadian Tire in CAN w/ Briggs and Stratton engine) and am finding out that they are quite a bit of trouble to maintain. If you don't use it for 30 days you are supposed to store it (fuel stabalizer etc...) Mine actually isn't starting now, might have...

    Yamaha RX-V757, good buy?

    I think that model is quite new. I have the 650 which is last year's model (new one would be 657 I guess). it's a great receiver. You can't go wrong with Yamaha. I use the Zone 2 for my outdoor speakers and the YPAO is nice too. maybe someone with the 757 can give you a better idea of how they...

    4805 Got a Bath

    Did you open a claim for anything else ? Just wondering because I know we have a $500 deductible so if that is the case for you, it may not be worth your while to open a claim just for the projector. (especially where it's still working) Also if they won't replace the projector I would...

    New Athena Audition series 2 brochure

    They should be timbre matched since the tweeter is the same teteron tweeter as the previous model on all speakers. Don, how much did you pay for your AS-P400 and where'd you get it ? (if you don't mind me asking ?)

    New Athena Audition series 2 brochure

    And just where would you fit that speaker ? The F2 is over 41 inches high. lol :D If you really want a HUGE centre channel speaker why don't you just buy a single F2 and lay it horizontal under your TV I posted the link to the .pdf in the first post since Arcadiy can't post links yet...

    New Athena Audition series 2 brochure

    I managed to get the new brochure for Athena's Audition line-up. I have it saved in a .pdf file and it has images/descriptions of the new audition line up along with the 2 new subs and architechural series. I haven't seen this posted on the Athena website or anywhere for that matter. Speakers...

    Speaker recommendations for around $600? (need all five speakers)

    You might be able to find some Athena's on Clearance as the new line is coming out. You could possibly get the AS-F2's for mains, C1 for center and B1's, B2's or R1's for rears.

    Athena AS-F1 vs. AS-B2

    Bayer's Lake is always crazy busy. It's a Big Box business park in Halifax, N.S. Man that RFD site is gonna get me in trouble if these deals keep up ! You should be able to sell the B1's and C1 and almost end up with the R1's for free. Can't beat that deal ! Anyone have 4 R1's for the...
