    help with very simple TV sound system

    It's mostly because the menu system on the TV is complicated and since we only use streaming a couple of times a year, we tend to forget which buttons to push.:oops:

    help with very simple TV sound system

    It's been more than 20 years since we've hooked up a sound system (and I'm using that phrase very loosely). We have a Smart TV, DVD player and a Cable Set top box. 99% of the time it's used to watch sports on TV. Currently we have two huge floor speakers which take up far too much space. And...

    Help with Logitech Harmony 550 remote?

    I finally solved the problem but first, let me comment on your suggestions. 1. I did not try this. It's an interesting possibility but given that my TV remote does not have separate buttons for the various input sources, I don't think the odds are very good that there would be codes defined to...

    Do I need a new receiver?

    Ok - to all of you who suggested getting a Harmony remote, you talked me into it. I bought a Harmony 550 off of Ebay. And now that I've got it, I can't get it to work properly. I already have a thread going on the logitech forum (no solutions thus far) but I figure I'll toss out the question...

    Help with Logitech Harmony 550 remote?

    After reading some enthusiastic posts from folks on these forums, I decided to take the plunge and buy a Logitech Harmony remote in the hopes of making my life easier (and free up space currently taken up by 6 remotes!). I almost got it working but I'm stuck on one point. I've posted the...

    Do I need a new receiver?

    Well you've all talked me into it. I ordered a harmony 550 off of ebay. I've got my fingers crossed that I can "train" it to work with all the equipment. It would be wonderful if I could get rid of all those remotes! And it would help when I have visitors, (like my mother), who would not ever...

    Do I need a new receiver?

    I have a question about the Logitech remotes. How smart are they? Most of my components are either old, or off-brand. So I don't have much information about them (or their remotes). The last time we tried to program a universal remote, there were some features that were just impossible to...

    Do I need a new receiver?

    Thanks the for reply. That was the only cheap solution we could come up with either. All I'd have to do is buy an audio extension cable. I don't really like that because it means manually changing the source on the TV and I'm now up to 5 remotes I have to juggle just to use my TV. But I do...

    Do I need a new receiver?

    I have an Onkyo TX-SR501 receiver. It's been working great but today I ran into a problem. I tried to add a DVD player to my collection and discovered that no matter which input I chose in the receiver, I couldn't get it to work. :( I've got: cable box (component output) Wii (component...
