I did do the Audssey EQ... I'll try turning it off, but I think you're right... just a bad receiver.

It's not in any especially enclosed area, just an Ikea TV stand with an open back. The unit wasn't getting noticeably hot, but I'll check it out on Sunday (i'm out of town for the weekend). TigerDirect said they could only give me my money back, and not replace the unit. Should I call Onkyo? It...

Edit : Double post. Not sure how to delete it, sorry about that.

It is actual popping from the speakers while trying to watch TV. At first, it would pop a little bit while watching TV... but now, it won't even play the TV sound, it's just all popping. The display is flashing between the Pro Logic II abbreviation and the Dolby D abbreviation, and all I hear is...

I just received an Onkyo 506 from TigerDirect. I hooked it up to my Uverse and PS3 using Toslink, and my AppleTV using just the Red/White analog cables. All video is HDMI, and everything is hooked up to a surge protector. I'm getting excessive popping from all 5 speakers (no sub installed). I...

Can I use one of the HD Component cables? (Blue, Green or Red)?

Thanks for your response, Gene. That answers my question perfectly. And, I'm in luck because my cable box has a digital coaxial audio output! Thanks again, Matt

Hi, My roommate just got an Onkyo 506, and I'm setting it up for him. Since it only has HDMI passthrough, I need to get the sound to the receiver somehow other than HDMI. I have chosen optical, which is great, but it only has 2 optical inputs. I have 3 devices which need digital audio...

I absolutely love my Samsung LN40A550. The finish on it matches the PS3, too. Picked mine up online for 1300 in... September I think it was.

I'm looking to cover myself for atleast 5 years, so Dolby HD is kinda important to me since I already have the blu ray player (PS3). I do keep tabs on the for sale, section, though.

Hahaha SO true. However, I need to upgrade to a reciever that has more surround decoding capabilities than Pro Logic (1987) first. Can't really complain, though. My parent's friends were nice enough to donate their old (OLD!) gear to my college apartment. If it's free, it's for me!

Thanks for all of the replies. Looks like moving the sub is the best idea. I was hoping you guys would give me an excuse to get the new sub

Hi, I've heard all about standing waves on DolbyCast, Dolby's podcast. With my sub sitting to the right of the TV, I get a standing wave in many places in my room. I know that I can move the sub somewhere else (in fact I have but it's a less ideal spot visually and for the safety of the sub)...

I just ordered my Elemental Designs 5t5's Friday, so I thought I would get started on the furniture in which they will reside on. This is my second attempt at building any home theater furniture, and this is the only one that will actually be seen (the first was a hidden tv stand). I was...

I haven't bought anything yet. Thanks for the link to the AVS forums about the bugs. While I am worried about the PS3 issues, the alternatives are 100 bucks more atleast. I plan on buying from Crutchfield. They don't have the best prices, but since the 606 seems to have some potential bugs...

Wow, good thing you mentioned the hdmi passthrough. Somehow I missed that. Looks like the 606 is the one, after all. Thanks for your input

Thanks for your response, Chris. Without high end gear (I plan on having an Elemental Designs 5t5 system and the Onkyo 606/506), is the difference between Dolby Digital and Dolby HD going to be noticeable? As you can probably tell (and like most people) I am really trying to feed my new...

Robert, Thanks for the quick and precise response. I'll look into sub placement. I hear that a good technique is placing the sub in the listening spot and moving around the room listening to the most common type of media you use. Thanks again, Matt

Hi, I was wondering about how powered subwoofers work. Since they have their own plate amps, are they independent from the receiver as far as their output? I guess my question is: Since a powered subwoofer doesn't rely on the receiver for anything but the actual source of sound, will a sub...

Hi, I have a PS3 that I use not only for games but for Blu-Ray as well. I am a little confused on how the PS3 handles Dolby Digital HD and DTS HD signals. Does it actually decode the signal before sending it to the receiver? I am asking because I am looking into getting a new receiver...

I see. Would you or anyone else recommend these speakers in my situation? Here is the link: Elemental Designs Seems like probably not...

Uh oh. It's 88.3 db. Is that the decibel level at which the speaker becomes damaged? Here are the full specs: Max Power Handling150W Minimum Power Input15W Nominal System Resistance6Ω Tweeter Size1.0" Tweeter TypeSilk Tweeter ModelO-235 Crossover ModelER-4X Midrange Size100mm...

Hi there, I was wondering if there was any word out there on the durability of the Elemental Designs 5t5 speakers. I have a roommate that is very considerate and would not intentionally harm any of my equipment, but also likes to play his music extremely loud while working out, etc. I wish...

Cool. I'm sold on the 606, then. On to deciding on speakers. Looking at eD 5t5's right now. I realize this is the receiver forum, so I'll post any questions over there. Thanks for your help!

Ooooh, that's a really good idea. I'll send then an email.

The SVS is a little over my price range, and with shipping, way over. I really like the eD speakers, but they are a little too big :frowning:

Actually, I am going to replace all of my speakers in stages. I am leading off with the center speaker, so my exisiting speakers don't matter much. Imagine it as if I dont' have any speakers now at all
