Martino, That did it! Thanks to everyone who helped walk me through this ordeal. If I need any more home theater info I know where to come. It sounds pretty darn awesome...I ran my 13 year old daughter out of the room last night when I was trying to shut down the reciever. :D Curly

Dangit...I was so close :rolleyes: I almost choose that one, but that extra zone scared me off. Man I hope that's it. I'll let ya know tonight. Thanks again for all of the advice. Curly

Here's the speaker setup I chose. It is a sound bar so there are no rear speakers. I can't get a good feel for what bi-amping is through the user manual so I'm wondering if this is causing issues. 5.1 Channel surround system and front Bi-amping. connection (high quality surround). Speaker system...

OK, I just got a reply back from the Pioneer receiver people. They say to unplug all speakers and then crank it up. Then hook the speakers up one at a time (Jason mentioned that too). That makes sense. I know this is a stupid question, but when the speakers are all unhooked there will be no...

Definitive Technology ProSub 1000 Black- BBNDMA Nominal Impedence 8 ohms - Definitive Technology MYTHOS SSA-50 BLACK - BBVEJB I went ahead and redid all of the speakers (receiver side and speaker side) and I doubt they could be any better. These are all using banana plugs. Could this be a...

Well, I don't think it was heat, it would do it even when cool. I went through the speaker and woofer setup instructions (not too much there) and went through the 100 pages of the receiver manual really well. I feel like I have things setup correctly. But so far I have to keep the sound at -25bd...

The receiver has yet to make it in the new TV stand cabinet. It's just been sitting on the floor while I get it all working. So the air is definately not restricted around it. It has been warm to the touch on top though. I'll try this first. Thanks

Well, sorta :confused: After connecting the blu-ray to the reciever instead of the tv, all seemed well. We started watching a dvd with really nice sound...then the receiver turned itself off. Then it started doing that every few minutes or more. I turned the sound way down and it still did it. I...

-- Like I said in an earlier post - I am not a wireless network guru at all....but looking at this post - it appears that the TV is the hub for your wireless connection. If that is the case (and not the receiver) - than you will need a connection from the TV to the receiver to get the sound to...

Well, I should have printed your original post Martino, but I thought I had it all figured out in my head. But I connected blu-ray to TV instead of Blu-ray to reciever. It actually does allow you to watch dvd's, but hopefully when I swap it to receiver it will give me sound from the external...

Thanks again ya'll. When I get home tonight I'm gonna fix that and see if that's all it was. Curly

It works but the sound comes from the TV, not the good speakers. The reciever tuner (basically a radio I guess), uses the good speakers. [B]oops, I have hdmi running form TV to blu-ray, not from reciever to blu-ray. But I do have one running from TV to Reciever. And Jason, what exactly do you...

Now I talked to someone from the geek squa and they said there is a fiber optic cable that will get the tv setup correctly. Any thoughts.

Pioneer Elite 50 7.1 Channel 630 Watt Receiver Panasonic - 65" Class / Plasma / 1080p / P65GT30 / 3D / HDTV OK, that's the TV and reciever I got. I've got the TV working wireless to me network and the Blu-ray works but I can't get my non-tv speakers to work. Well, they do work with the tuner...

Would radio shack or walmart have the banana plugs and 14 or 16 gauge wire?

Well, the TV is a Panasonic (P65GT30). I wasn't sure so I went back and looked at the specs and it said it has an included adapted, hopefully that will do it. •use the included Wi-Fi® USB adapter to link to a wireless network

thanks again

Wow, that's a lot of help, thanks Martino. I guess there's no tuning of anything, huh? What about the wireless connection of the TV to the router, could that be a disaster?

Given what I've ordered should I have to pay someone to set this up or is it more of a plug it in and go sort of thing? Definitive Technology ProSub 1000 Black- BBNDMA Definitive Technology MYTHOS SSA-50 BLACK - BBVEJB Pioneer Elite 50 7.1 Channel 630 Watt Receiver Panasonic 3d blu-ray (don't...

Sorry about all of these dup posts. It kept telling me it failed and to try again later. Apparently it wasn't actually failing :rolleyes:

Opps, had a dup post

This is what I've got ordered. Definitive Technology ProSub 1000 Black- BBNDMA Definitive Technology MYTHOS SSA-50 BLACK - BBVEJB Pioneer Elite 50 7.1 Channel 630 Watt Receiver Panasonic - 65" Class / Plasma / 1080p / P65GT30 / 3D / HDTV

That was my original thought since that is really the only wall space I have. The problem there is that everythinh ends up blocking the door. And that is the pathway into the kitchen too. Thanks for the comments. Curly

Al, The room was defnately not designed for sound. But the furniture is not connected to the floor so it can go anywhere it needs to go to make this work better. And yes, ceiling mounted will be fine if it helps. Would that allow 5.1 or 7.1? I've only got 10 posts and I've already encountered...

The Cuss box (as I've heard it called) removes the profanity from what you are watching. I've looked at TV Gaurdian so far. Any other suggestions?

home theater.xlsx (12k. xlsx file) Here's a drawing I did in excel. It's much easier to look at. The only problem with that big wall space between the front door and the window is the furniture and speakers wood partially block the entrance to the cabin. Oh well, all advice is appreciated...

Thanks Jim. The pic is horrible. The moderator intercepted or I would have seen how bad it was last night and tried to redo it. But yeah, it's one big open room. The kitchen is there under the loft. The only open wall is on the left side (about middle) and it's about 60 inches. The rest is...
