Hi all, I recently purchased a 32" Samsung series 4 LCD (LN32A450) and got a really good deal on it. However I am noticing problems on Channels 4 (NBC) and 26 (WETA) with the audio syncing up with the picture. Most of what I read says that the sound is usually before the picture (which is...

Hey everyone, I have basic cable TV (at school). No cable box (no access to one). The RG6 goes from the wall to my TV. I want to know if there is a sort of 'reverse RF Modulator' that could get the audio to my HK AVR235 and the video to my TV (the TV does not have audio outs. It only has coax...

Sounds good. I remember reading somewhere that somebody said the Oppos were a bitch shaky... not sure though. AL

I've recently started upgrading my stereo to a decent entry-level set up, but now I need a DVD Player. Currently I own a Magnavox from a few years back that I got from Best Buy for $35. My biggest pet peeve with it (besides PQ, which does not yet matter because of my lack of an hdtv) is that you...

I have the Athena F2.2's and have been very happy with them. They are pretty solid sounding for bass, however I prefer to play them in 2.1 with a 15" sub. I would check out online dealers for them, however. I found my F2.2s for $400 /pair at audioadvisor.com and they were about $600 /pair at...

Would be nice to have a GOOD subwoofer along with my Athena F2's and HK AVR235... (at the moment its a 15" DIY Quatro :-/) Thanks guys, you're awesome! AL

I have the Athena F2.2's (paid $400 online, couldve done around $350ish thru best buy). And boooooooy do I miss my discount there... I wasnt impressed with the WS series, however the 100's do have a nice soundstage- but I really prefer bass more; I completely understand the desire for a sub...

Let me know what you think of that sub. Because I'm in the EXACT same boat as you are. (Worked at Best Buy, got an all Athena set up, now that I don't work there i need a sub). I made a DIY 15" Quatro for about $300, but it just doesnt go as low as my friends 12" Dayton. Sorry for the...

I kinda hate to go against what everyone else is saying, but of all the Athena's I own (F2.2's and Point 5's), all the manuals say to set the speakers to "large." To be honest, I just did what the manual said- I have not set them to small to test it out. Otherwise, don't worry about blowing...

The RS isolator was connected between the sub and the sub cable. Okay, when I get home (hopefully this weekend) I'll unplug everything and start rewiring and see how it goes. Thanks a lot for your help AL

There is no cable going from the wall to the TV (the only connection to the tv is via composite video from the receiver) To be honest I have not tried unplugging the composite cord (and it is also difficult for me because I am currently living at school a fair hike away from my home with the set...

I am having a problem with my DIY 15" Quatro humming, so after reading the forums I purchased a $18 ground loop isolator from radio shack. This solved the problem untill I turned my system off then on again. Surely enough, the hum was back. This is how everything is wired: One powerstrip...

for wiring see bluejeanscable.com while this is not 'skimping' on wiring, you are most likely getting the best quality stuff for your money. AL

Clay- Currently I own the Athena AS-F2.2's as my mains, but have audutioned the entire line. The F-1 will give you higher power handling and deeper bass over the B-1. Also, the F-1 is a little more efficient so it means it will be a little louder and full sounding with the same amount of...

Do you by any chance have Athena speakers? (that sounds like a quote from their manual) Anyways, play with the settings on your receiver and you can turn ProLogic on to make the audio come out of all the speakers. Hope it helps, AL
