    Stacking Components (Receiver on top of DVD player)

    Thanks for the replies. I was afraid that the receiver was consider a heavy object. Guess that means its time for a new entertainment unit and widescreen tv! I knew putting it on top of the receiver was not option. Not enough ventilation for the Receiver, and too much heat for the DVD player...

    Impressions on Panasonic CP67

    Onkyo 797 or 898 DD dropouts on Satellite or Digital Cable Feeds

    I wanted to ask if any of you had the Dropout problem while watching Vertical Limit on HBO. I have Directv and watched it this weekend and did NOT have any dropouts. Someone here mentioned that all DD 5.1 movies on HBO were experiencing dropouts. Just wondering why I didn't hear the dropouts on...

    Exchanged the SR600 at the end of the 30 days (long)

    Tim, Like you, I kept my Onkyo 600 to the end of the 30 days and decided to return it. I think it may have held up but there was something psychological going on in my mind that wouldn't allow me to enjoy it knowing that it was not producing the power as advertised and that someone had...

    DirecTV DD Audio dropouts

    AHHHH! This is good to know. I just posted a similar question thinking it may have had to do with the Onkyo receivers and their DD dropouts on certain DVDS including JPIII, Pearl Harbor, Atlantis, etc.... So you are saying this is related to the service provider and NOT our precious receivers...

    Onkyo 797 or 898 DD dropouts on Satellite or Digital Cable Feeds

    Hey Everyone, After weeks of researching/agonizing over which receiver (the Denon 3802 or the Onkyo 797) to purchase I finally decided to go with the Onkyo 797 because I have owned onkyo before and for the most part have been very happy with them. I am aware of the ticking problems they have...
