Cool, thanks for your opinion Keith. I'll report my findings on Moday when I get the changer.

I'm running a budget system in my room that consists of the JBL NSP1 speaker package and a JBL PB-10 Subwoofer with a Technics SADX750 reciever supposedly rated at 100x5Watts, which I'm sure is overated. I plan hooking up the cdchanger to my reciever with a digital coax cabel. Right now the...

I'm using my xbox connected with a toslink cable to my reciever currently as my CD player. I ordered a Marantz CC-4000 5 disk changer, a few days ago and I am really anxiouse for it to get here. Should I notice big jump in quality or will it be more subtle?

This probally sounds pretty newb, but I have been using my Xbox to play my CD's for some time now, and finally have the funds for a dedicated CD changer. I'm looking to spend 150-250 dollars. The only catch is it needs to have digital tos-link outputs not digital coaxial becuase my reciever the...

Thanks for the reply Sean, looks like just another thing I'll have to live with. The good thing is I'm learning my lesson about Sony early, and on not a horribly expensive set. With the luck I've had with this model Wega (the one I currently have had the least deffects of the 2 I had returned)...

These black lines only show up when the screen has no image on it, such as a black no signal screen, or a totally black test pattern. I really havn't seen the lines in any other instances except the ones decribed. For instance I cycled through various ghrey screens and the lines were no where...

I was messing around with some of the avia test patterns looking for image problems the other day, when I put on a pattern that displays a totally black image. Immediatly I noticed something strange. It's best described as a line in a crecent shape (it's a darker black than the black of the...

I just picked up a digital cable box and would like to hook it up using the svideo out on it. I have only one svideo IN on my TV and it is currently being used by my xbox. Would this product do the trick, and if so will it degredate the signal at all...

Thanks man, I cranked the crossover on the sub to max, and set the crossover on the reciever to 100, and now it sounds like the sub is truely holding it own.

One more question while im at it. When listening to a CD it obviously doesn't have a mix for the LFE channel. Is the subwoofer still truely in LFE mode when playing a CD? If not what crossover does it use the one on the sub or the one on the reciever. Sorry if im not making sense im still...

I have the JBL NS-P1 speaker package and a JBL- PB10 sub. Currently I have one radio shack gold series AV cable going from the LFE on the sub to the sub output on my reciever. I know this is the correct setup when listening to DVDs but is this also the right config for just general music CDs...

Thanks for the clarification! Is it recommended to only run 16:9 on anamorphic dvds?

One last question. I have the xbox set to widescreen now but it seems like setting the 16:9 mode on my TV sqeezes the screen more on some movies then others. I'm kind of knew at this but why in one movie say Ofice Space having it in widescreen mode equals black bars on the top and the bottom...

Hmm.. the video settings my xbox has is normal, letterbox, and widescreen. Which one of those equates to 16:9

I have a 27" sony wega that does 16:9 sqeeze mode. I use my xbox as my DVD player. To correctly display 16:9 mode what aspect should I have my xbox set at?
