It's part of a 6 speaker HTB (JVC TH-A5). It only has 2 spring clips - that's it.

Okay, I just realized that this sub IS INDEED a powered subwoofer. However, it still only has the 2 spring clips -- no RCA input.

If my receiver only has an rca subwoofer output, is there any way I can use a subwoofer (non-powered) which only has the 2 spring clips for the speaker wires? If so, how, and will I lose ANY performance?

Well, when I put the receiver in pro-logic mode it'll automatically switch to DD when it receives a DD signal, but when I change back to a non-DD channel, it reverts back to stereo mode. So, it seems that I'll have to manually select pro-logic every time. I don't know why it can't just save my...

That's exactly what I told the guy who asked me. Thanks!

What's the most logical guess at the release date for the original Star Wars Trilogy. I understand anything would be speculation. Did a search, but there are just too damn many threads.

Okay, I just popped in Cast Away and Men in Black and I DO NOT have any black bars on either one. I've got the Toshiba 57HX81 and have completed geometry and alignment using a template. What is the problem?

Well, I'm sure my Toshiba was in Full mode when I noticed this, but can someone give me the name of a 1.85:1 disc or 2 that IS formatted correctly at 1.85:1, thus giving me tiny black bars on top and bottom?

Cool, thanks Greg!
