alrighty, this is the 2nd time this has happened. I have my basscube 8 (yes, i will get a new sub sometime, this one isn't too great) plugged into a surge protector and it's on auto mode for power. Twice now it has blown for some reason, not when in use either. I'll come home and it just won't...

I'm using both the included AM and FM antenas if that's what you're asking

I have a Sony STR-DE675 receiver. Today, I went to use the tuner, I'm in FM mode and i got a jazz station when the preset was tuned into my normal rock station. So i went through all my presets(different radio stations) and they were all the jazz station. I turned it off, tried later and got...

I could really use some help on this, I need it for when my family comes up next week, so if anyone could help me I'd appreciate it!

I have a Sony STR- DE675 Receiver with 5.1 CSW speakers on it. I have a question about it. Right now, when I plug in headphones in the headphone jack that is on the front of the receiver, it mutes all sound to the speakers, which is should do. And it comes up with the text spk. off on the LCD...

thanks everyone!

BAH, could anyone reccomend a good receiver that does the assigning of digital outputs? I can't get anything now, but for the future when I have more money. Something sub-1000$ would be best hehe. Thanks :)

I just thought of another problem I might have. If anyone can answer either of my 2 questions I would be grateful! here is the back of my receiverclick here Now, the digital cable I'm assuming gets connected to the TV/SAT area? If so, then I could do the S-Video from the cable box to the...

k, thanks. Now, can I mix the 2 audio signals, optical and coax digital audio? Like right now, I have the reciever on Opt mode so the DVD player works with the Digital Audio cable. If I put it on some sort of Auto mode could I successfully use both those signals when switching from the DVD...

I think the problem was that I was using an S-Video cable from the DVD player to the receiver, but than RCA to the TV. My TV is able to switch to Input 1-S-Video for the DVD player then on regular TV it works with the VCR. I will have to try that composite hookup with the VCR. When I do get the...

Just saw the movie last night. I liked some parts of it, but I was pretty dissapointed with Ben Affleck as Jack Ryan. Not one of my favorite movies, but it was tolerable. And John, I agree with you on your pointabout the carrier. I mean, it was just too unreal. The planes kept going on and off...

Craig, do you actually see the black of the mounts? or do the speakers cover them up?

I think I'm either going to get http://www.crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/S...121BT7&o=p&a=0 or http://www.crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/S...1BT77S&o=p&a=0 Do you think the silver or black would look bad on the wall? Or do you end up not even seeing it? If you don't see the black on the speaker...

ok, I'm not sure if I'll have that problem because my speaker is a bit smalller in height, but still it's a good thing to think about. I appreciate the help Jeff and I'll take a look at Parts Express :)
