Hello all, Any advice on some in-wall speakers on monoprice... kevlar 8" 3 way fronts, 6.5" 2 way rears and a center channel. I have had amazing luck with wires, cables, and hdmi switchers from monoprice, but am speculative on their speakers because I have no experience with them. The...

How many components are you hooking up? This could be one of the deciding factors in which receiver to get... (I bought an Onkyo tx-sr605 a couple years ago and am lacking 2 HDMI in's, which is why I need to upgrade to a new one)

This seems to me like a pretty significant difference in wattage for what these 2 receivers are comparably rated for??? Does this watts measurement have a significant correlation with the overall sound quality and it's ability to drive towers which are seemingly hungry for more wattage than the...

Thanks for the input... I didn't mention this in my original post but I feel like my towers are a bit under powered. Is the extra 15 watts per channel on the pioneer really going to be that noticeable over my current onkyo?

hello all... I am looking to upgrade my AVR as my Onkyo TX-sr605 seems to be letting me down with 2 HDMI inputs short of what I need currently. Possibly going to explore the Pioneer VSX-1019AH, or the SONY STR-DN1000. Any input on either of these 2 units, or possibly others like them. I am...

ok... finally got everything set up the way I wanted to with my Onkyo 605 and sony BDS P350, all with HDMI 1.3. How come it displays on my receiver it is multichannel, and doesnt actually say TRUEHD or DTSHD? Is there a way to change this, or is it just how it is shown? When I hit display on the...

hey all, im thinking about purchasing a surge protector/conditioner for my HT. Currently running Onkyo 605 with KEF Q series all around, Sony BDSP300, 52" Sony W4100, X-Box 360, and HD Cable/DVR box. Do I need one for starters, or is it a false sense of security? If yes, I am thinking the...

Hello there... I am running the Onkyo 605, with some KEF IQ-7'S as fronts... granted I have the entire surround sound set up with KEF all around and 10" KEF sub, I know for a fact these fronts sound great. I had them hooked up alone before I had an opportunity to drill into the walls and hang...

Hello out there! I have the Onkyo 605, and the Sony BDSP300 blu-ray player, and I can't get it to play in HD sound formats. I made sure the back of the movie said Dolby True HD on it before I got all twisted over it. Is this player not rated for anything higher than Dolby and DTS? If not, I...

I was at a store last night picking up my new 52" sony W4100, which has the 120hz processor, and needed some new HDMI cables. The employee told me not to worry that the box for the cable only said 60hz, because it is an advanced high speed cable, and is fully capable of handling the 120hz tv. He...

ok i will try that out... now, you say 100-120hz, should i play around with either one, because i have the option of running 100, or 120hz, or should i always try to run the highest one (120)? also, any input on the 12/24db? thanks so much, i cant wait to get this fixed!

need some help with this one, hopefully i give enough info. currently running onkyo 605 with KEF all around... IQ-7 front L & R, IQ-2C center, IQ-8DS rear L & R, and a PSW-2500 sub. it sounds great, except it seems as though something is missing. i have the double bass feature turned on. the...

My father has a denon avr3300 (oldie but goodie) and the sound has stopped coming out of the left front speaker. The receiver now has "analog only" lit up on the display, and it seems like it is playing mono (I can hear all the sounds coming from all the speakers). The speaker from the left...

haha... apparently I have some studying to do!

ok I think I have it figured out... this website wont allow me to post links, so google "pirates of the caribbean" and find the ping for the actual blu-ray website. its somethings like w w w. blu-ray. com/ movies/ movies. php? id=59

Try to see if the cable box has a setting for putting the sound through the tv speakers on or off (it could have a compression/audio output/stereo output setting you could try to mess with) Other than that, try and see if there is a setting on your receiver for the audio on your "tv setting" or...

one more note... true hd sound will only be produced with a 7 channel surround sound set up I believe, or at least 7 channels being used (5 channels with bi-amped fronts)

is your receiver capable of true hd/dts hd? what kind is it, what kind of dvd player do you have, how do you have it set up? Do you have separate cables for each channel, or do you use an optical cable? - or - do you rely on an hdmi cable? need some more info....... good luck!

I am going to upgrade my tv to a samsung 120hz 52''. My question is, if I continue to run hdmi from my blu-ray player into my receiver (onkyo tx-sr605), and then the receiver to the tv, will I be fully taking advantage of the 120hz processing? Or should I skip the receiver and go straight to the...

I am living in an apartment and am not able to run wires through the walls... any suggestions to hide them, or at least make them less noticable?

I have come across a tough one according to the reviews on both brands I have been reading and would appreciate some more help. Currently looking for an entirely new 5.1 setup for my onkyo tx-sr605. Looking at 2 different setups and need some advice: 1)KEF - fronts: IQ-7 rears: IQ-8DS center...
