If it is a power issue you would expect it to come and go. Try your system when he isn't home and see how it performs. Bob

You may have already tried this, but put the left speaker on the right cable and vice-versa just to make sure that it is a speaker problem. Bob

It's a known problem with DLP TVs. If your rcvr supportws audio delay you can pretty much make it go away. I have the same TV in 50 inch, and it is the only fault I have with the TV. Bob

I have a 1050 and love it. It's a bit dated but if you can find a used one it would be a good buy. It has good power for most people and is well built. Bob

I think that the big question is the cost. How quickly will they move down in price to be near the price of today's DVDs? Bob

DVDs will stay around a long time. It's a case of diminishing returns. DVD video and audio is much better then VHS, and pretty much everybody can see it.

Here is a writeup on what I did. email me if you have any questions. Bob I recently finished installing a whole house audio system. It turned out great and I thought I would describe it and give some pointers. My system is based on the Russound CA-6.4i multi room controller. This system...

I would try a couple of things before returning it. -Leave the speaker wires conencted and put the right speaker where the left is and vice versa. Rerun the tests and see what happens (Now the right amp is running the same speaker, but it is on the left) -Disconnect the speaker cables and...

Will it convert from composite to S-Video? My parents cable box only supports composite, and they would like to switch video through the receiver. They would hook up the DVD via S, Cable and VCR via composite, and hook the recvr to the TV via S. Thanks Bob

Have you tried another DVD player? I thought that some disks were bad, but it turned out that my older player was starting to fail. It would play some disks and not others. My new player has no problems with the same disks. Bob
