Thanks, I'll look into one of those.

The power button does not depress much, but it definitely does have a "click" when pressed in. When I press the power button on my system I immediately feel the click and the system powers on immediately, I do not have to hold it down. It sounds like there might be a small problem with yours...

Paul, yes the receiver also has a digital coax in. I actually already have my dvd player hooked up to it through a digital coax cable though (I have a 360 and a separate dvd player hooked up to the receiver currently). The "DVD" audio-in for the receiver has both a digital coax and an optical...

Thanks Chris. I was hoping to kill two birds with one stone (PS3 and HD OTA content), since my receiver only has two optical ins, and one of thos is already being used by my 360. Maybe it is time I look into purchasing a new receiver.

If you mean a wireless headset to talk to others when playing on-line, the only one I am aware of at the moment is the official Wireless Headset from Microsoft. I own this headset and am enjoying it, although I have heard others have experienced some problems with it. My biggest issue with it...

Don, I have owned a 360 since January of last year and I love it. I've been an avid gamer since the Atari 2600 and the 360's functionality is just fantastic compared to other consoles before it (I do not own a PS3 or Wii yet). As has been mentioned, Xbox Live is a key component to the whole...

I hope this is in the correct forum. I am looking to shorlty purchase a PS3. I have a pretty old receiver, so it does not have any HDMI ports. My TV does however. My TV also has an optical out. My question is, would I be able to hook up the PS3 through HDMI directly to my t.v and then run an...

I agree with posten, I'm pretty disappointed with what has been shown thus far. But then again, we don't know how early this footage is. I'm hoping it is REALLY early. Lets just say, when I think of Next Gen graphics, they are far better than that! I personally hope that the game resembles...

Thanks for the info Bob. I might take back the Terk and see about picking up the Zenith. I have had no luck picking up Fox or ABC HD signals and I've pointed the antenna in every possible direction. :thumbsdown: Edit: I just saw the Zenith online, it says it is a UHF antenna. Fox and ABC...

lol. That's great. Thanks Charlie, I was sort of worried about the whole 1080i, 720p situation. At least now I know I just need to find the correct placement for the antenna and it's not a matter of the format the HD is being broadcasted in..

Many thanks Jeremy. Yeah, I've gone to AntennaWeb and got the info, now I just need to get a compass to make sure I'm pointing in the right direction. And the rabbit ears are fully extended . . . and quite long I might add. Thanks, I'll keep trying tonight.

I recently purchased a HD antenna from Radioshack (Brand: Terk, Catalog#:15-1872, Model: HDTVi [sorry, can't post links yet])to receive OTA HD signals. I set it up and I can get NBC, CBS and PBS HD signals just fine. However, I cannot get FOX or ABC HD channels. I believe that both Fox and ABC...

Thanks for the idea Dean. And John, the link to the image of your system doesn't seem to be working for me. Is it a bad link or is it just me?

I bought the 80v last night and checked it out. It looked crisp, however, the image was noticable darker, so I will be calibrating this player using the Avia disc over the weekend. I'll keep you posted if I see a nice noticable difference. So far, while the image was a bit dark, the colors...

Thanks John. Now that I think about it, when I had my old TV, for a short while I had a different entertainment center and I had this same center speaker on top of that tv for at least a few months. It was also a CRT. That older tv still works fine, so, it's a pretty safe bet then that the...

Thanks R.o.b. Man, "it will destroy your tv". I really don't like the sound of that! :frowning: Especially since I just bought my tv and it wasn't cheap. I don't think I have anyway of knowing if my speaker is magnetically shielded. I got it from one of those hometheater-in-a-box packages about...

I’m setting up my surround sound system after moving into a new apartment. I’ve bought a new TV (Sony 34 KD-XBR960) and since it is fairly bulky, I have it on a TV stand instead of inside an entertainment center like I had my older tv. That being said, I used to have my center speaker on a shelf...

Thanks. Well, to answer your question Arthur, yeah, I know I've been reluctant to just purchase a new player to test it out. But, since I just bought a new apartment, not to mention the new TV, my fiancé isn't very fond of the idea of purchasing more equipment. I just wanted to be sure it...

Thanks for the input Tom and Gary. So, Gary, are you saying that if I wait and have my tv calibrated professionally I wouldn't need to buy a new DVD player at all?

Just in case it helps, I found out the model Toshiba player I own. SD-2109U.

Ok, thanks again Arthur. And thanks Shane. I live less than a block from a Best Buy. I might swing by tonight and check out the 80v.

Thanks Arthur. Do you think I'll see a significant jump in picture quality? I just want to be sure that the problems I am seeing is a result of the older player and not a problem with the tv. X-Box games look incredible sharp on it, so I'm guessing it's the player.

I recently purchased a Sony KD-XBR960 set. I’ve just moved to a new apartment, so I have not been able to get cable yet to see what the set can do with HD programming. I hear it’s pretty impressive. I mostly use my TV for DVD watching and playing Videogames. Upon connecting my DVD player to...

Have you checked the disc for scratches/dust?
