Thanks for all of the responses. On Friday I took delivery and set up of 60" Panasonic TC-P60GT-50 from a local Father and Son HT store where I purchased my Receiver and Speakers from a few years ago. It was refreshing to find a local full service store that offered the set at a lower price...

I have found out that much of the Sony line of 46" and 52" Bravia sets from 2008-11 era suffer from defective panels. From what I gather Sony has not been very helpful with consumers with this out of warranty problem. I have read they will ask you to spend $100 to have a Sony approved Tec look...

So happy you are back! It’s been a couple of years since I have posed to the forum but I am in the market for a new TV. My current Sony is a 2009 vintage KDL-52W4100. When we turn it on the picture is dark in some areas and has double and triple images. It takes 20 to 30 minutes to warm up and...

Paul, Believe me no matter how much you spend on a new receiver you will not achieve much if any in sound improvement over the Sony speakers that you just purchased. Your new receiver may have tons of new features and bells and whistles but what comes out of your speakers will not change much...

Here is a hint the biggest factor that will effect how your system will sound is your speaker selection. Even with and older outdated receiver you will find a vast improvement over your current speakers as long as it is still operating correctly. Naturally you budget and personal tastes will...

If this is your HTib http://reviews.cnet.com/home-theater-systems/sony-ht-ddw750/1707-6740_7-30469017.html Then you may be in luck as according to the spec's your receiver and speakers are 8 ohms. I would double check on your speakers to make sure. This will allow you to replace your existing...

I have been reading this thread and as usual Jason has provided you with a lot of valuable advise. One thing I don't understand that with all the great things you are trying to achieve why you would want to listen to anything through the cheep speakers found in your TV. It really complicates...

LOL, it has to be the secret landlord lock, that bose bass module pumps out such a strong bass it can cause cracks in walls.

Their is no best $600 receiver in that price range, just many alternative brand names which have different features that may meet your needs better than others. I would suggest you stick with the major players like Onkyo, Pioneer, Yamaha. but at that price point you are not going to find a lot...

Welcome Al I can't find any manuals for your receiver, but if I take you as your word that it has one HDMI out and two HDMI in connections then you are one HDMI connection from being able to connect your system in the preferred method as your receiver becomes the hub of your system. Here is what...

Welcome to the forum This is not the answer you want to hear. If your Sony HTib does not have provision for a line out audio out you won't be able to use your wireless speakers. You cannot tap into your existing speaker wires as they are an amplified signal and your wireless unit is built to run...

Connect all of you equipment to the receiver with the best quality connection that equipment supports connect the receiver to the TV with an HDMI cable and you should be good to go.

As Casey says over the fireplace is a bad location for a TV as is causes many installation problems as far as speaker placement. But the big problem is the set is far to high for proper viewing and will give you as stiff neck after a few days. Forget what you see on HGTV and look for another...

Steve, I would suggest that you do a simple continuity test on all of your in wall speaker wires to make sure they are working correctly. Unless someone did some renovation and cut a wire in the wall their is little reason that they should go bad. But you need to test each of the wires. You next...

Welcome Steve It is a little hard to exactly figure out how your Bose system is set up as you mention that the bass module is in the rear of the room. I assume that your zone 2 is using a different brand of speakers and they are working just fine. If you were to contact Bose they will tell you...
