Guys, I just realized I am not the brightest diode in my LED TV. I can buy the Apple TV and hook the HDMI to the TV, and run the optical audio out into my Yamaha RX-V995 through the CD input (which I don't use). I hooked the audio of...

I didn't realize that you can just go in and make a deal with Best Buy. I think I may take my iPhone in and see what they will do to beat the Amazon price on the Onkyo 709. Will they beat it or just match? Don

Jason, That sounds like the best deal of the bunch. I am afraid of refurbs as I have never had much luck with them. I am so appreciative of everyone's help! Don

So I stopped by a local shop and looked at the Onkyo 609/709 as well as the Denon 2112/2312. There is a fairly large price differences between the bottom model and the top model of each line. I am not sure if my needs warrant the 709...

Hey All, It has been a long time since I have posted. I am in the market to upgrade my Receiver. I currently have a Yamaha Receiver and it is good, but doesn't have HDMI switching. I currently run the HDMI right to my screen, and...

So I did my system upgrade, and Iron Man ran beautifully on my PS3. Great movie, I enjoyed it quite a bit, as this was the first time I watched it. But I went to the extras, and BD Live wouldn't work, it said I wasn't connected to...

Wow, When I first put the disc in, I got the chest symbol as well. So I read the box and it said I may need to do a firmware upgrade (PS3). Now I have to wait for the system upgrade, and then do the ten minutes with the chest...
