    Anyone familiar with a yamaha Rx-V463 receiver I need help

    I am very ignorant to all of this, but I beleive what you are saying is that if the xbox does not have hdmi then I will have to take that out to the tv.If that is so I will need to go back out from the tv to the receiver. Is it then still possible to get 5.1 from the xbox?

    Audio quality and volume of recorded dvd's is horrible, please help

    With my box set to variable it seems that it does indeed control the television volume now. If I turn down the t.v. volume with the controller the volume on the cable box remains all the way up. The only way that ever goes down is if the cable box is turned off. If this is the case, then I...

    Advice on a good dvd recorder that won't break the bank

    I have a hard time seeing the toshiba mentioned being all that great, since its close to the piece of crap I own in price. I can spend a little more than that. Any ideas for something a step up from those. Ive looked on amazon and there just isnt much there.
