Dismantling my bedroom home theater. This has been an amazing receiver. Original boxes, manual, and remote. Looks and works great. Only exception is that the manual volume dial does not work well - but everyone only uses the remote anyway and that works great. I have also used a Harmony/Logitech...

Which Costco's are selling the 4805's for $999? I did not see it at Costco.com. Thanks!!!

Well, I'll be darned! Telling the 1050 that I have a rear surround speaker (even though I don't) fixed the problem. I did not think this would make any difference, since the movie is in 5.1 dts and dd, not 6.1 or 7.1.

Of course, it is digital on the DVD - I meant sending an analog stereo signal to the receiver or playing it in stereo with PowerDVD on my PC. These options where there is not any DD or dts decoding work fine. I am not sure if this is the same problem as discussed the Harry Potter thread...

I should have mentioned that I already tried cleaning the CD (even though it was new). It did not help.

There are no video problems, and dozens of other DD 5.1 and dts dvds have played great on this setup exactly as is. The only other time I noticed a similar problem was when I tried to play the music only selection available on "Standing in the Shadows of Motown". The regular movie portion of...

I recently bought a copy of the Pirates of the Caribbean Collector's Edition dvd. The picture and analog sound work fine. When I try and use either dts or DD 5.1, there are breaks in the sound every 30 seconds or so. I am playing the dvd in a Toshiba SD-4800 with a 75 ohm digital cable going to...

I also loved this DVD. Rented it first, and then bought it used. Did anyone else have problems with the sound when watching the Performance Selections under the Special Features? I could not activate DTS with the Performance Selections, and the sound would just cut out from time to time and...

Bump

I am looking for a used audio rack with 4 or 5 shelves that is in good condition and not too much money (or not too much for what it is). Please PM me if you have something that is shipable or if you are in the Los Angeles area. I am looking for something for my livingroom 2 channel system, and...

Well, I wanted to close this thread by thanking everyone. I am finally set with a Sony CX333ES (that I bought used), a Slink-e (bought direct from www.nirvis.com), my old laptop (which I can easily pull out of the system three times a year when I need it), and 802.11b home networking. I...

I just listened to Eagles HFO, and this is truely the way 5.1 should be. Too bad it is not widescreen. From a historical perspective, I would recommend The Last Waltz. The recording shows its age compared to HFO (it was originally recorded over 25 years ago), but it is widescreen and has some...

Also, go to the Picture menu and turn it to "Movie" mode. Supposed to get rid of SVM. Take a look at http://www.keohi.com/keohihdtv/brand...hiba_tips.html Some good tips, some may be out of date.

Don't take it the wrong way. I am very happy with the 42H81 and I am enjoying it a lot. Tombstone was fantastic on this set (to my unsophisticated vision). And the fact that 90 or so people looked at my post below and did not say "Boy did you blow it" makes me think that while my decision may...
