    Opinion on Infinity Primus Speaker Line

    Yes, I dropped by my local Best Buy and was fortunate enough to be able to see / listen to them in person. Unfortunately, they are larger (and heavier) than I thought. Both the Pioneers & the Infinity Primus bookshelves are between 13-16lbs I think, while my current speakers are closer to...

    No idea what I'm doing. Need help

    As schan mentioned, your new receiver should be able to receive audio via the HDMI cable coming from your TV, but ONLY if your TV's HDMI port is ARC enabled (HDMI version 1.4), and you're using the appropriate quality HDMI cable. I've recently found this out the hard way, after purchasing a new...

    Connecting Chromecast to AVR

    Convienence? The way the Chromecast device works is that it will automatically switch to the appropriate input, and can also turn your TV on if it's powered off, when you "cast" content from your mobile device or PC to the Chromecast. I'd like to maintain that functionality, and improve audio...

    Connecting Chromecast to AVR

    I have a Chromecast, that I've previously had hooked up directly to my TV's HDMI port. It functions properly, in regard to automatically switching to the appropriate TV input when a Chromecast session is activated via smart phone, tablet, PC. I've recently purchased a new AVR, and attempted to...

    Question on AVR Config w/ TV

    It's not that it's tough, but just more inconvienent than my previous setup (all devices connecting to TV, then TV to AVR) When I talked to the sales guy, he said that with the new AVR, I'd be able to change all my inputs by only using the receiver. (He probably assumed I had ARC enabled HDMI...

    Question on AVR Config w/ TV

    I just picked up a Yamaha RX-V675 AVR, and have a question about how I have it configured to my TV & components. Upon hooking up the TV, I learned that the HDMI ports on my Samsung LED are not ARC (v1.4), and require a a separate audio connection to the receiver to pass audio coming from the...

    [Novice] Upgrade from Sony HT7100DH Intro System

    So i can pick up a replacement SPL meter from Radio Shack, that will work with the automated sound balancing function from my AVR? Otherwise, how would the phone app work? Will it indicate to me what corrections are needed, where I will have to manually go in and adjust them? I'd like to...

    [Novice] Upgrade from Sony HT7100DH Intro System

    Yes, I played it in PLII...specifically when playing bluray discs in my PS3. I popped in the TinTin movie, where the opening menu music features a plane buzzing around the screen....which sends some propeller sounds to the rear speakers. I had this on loop while bumping up the rear speaker...

    Opinion on Infinity Primus Speaker Line

    Actually, one more question regarding subs... I've been doing some reading and some folks are saying that it's worth it to save up $300-$500 for a good sub...even to the point of skimping on the surrounds if you can use the savings to go for the better subwoofer. What makes a $500 sub better...

    Opinion on Infinity Primus Speaker Line

    Great feedback John. I actually read the forum post you linked just a little while ago, and most reviews I've seen on those speakers are positive. The only downside is that my living room configuration would make using tower speakers tough. When I moved into my home, wires were already ran...

    [Novice] Upgrade from Sony HT7100DH Intro System

    I was able to adjust my Rear Left & Right speakers yesterday, and I have noticed more sound coming out of them...thx again! I still think something may be off, as I had to max the sound levels going to the rear speakers to achieve better side / rear sound fx....but I'm pleased with it for now...

    [Novice] Upgrade from Sony HT7100DH Intro System

    @ArmSC Thanks for the quick reply! I'm actually looking for more volume. The rear speakers are getting a signal, but you have to stand up, walk over to one of them in the corner of the room and listen for it. (very faint sound) The front speakers, on the other hand, can be heard very...
