    I don't like to pass my video signal thru my AV receiver

    Based on the fact that I'm only running 5.1 with no plans to go to Atmos anytime soon I don't think I really need to upgrade at this time.

    Cable Box to AVR ?

    NFL and NBA games sound good in surround.

    I don't like to pass my video signal thru my AV receiver

    Sorry if I wasn't clear. I use a separate Digital Optical cable for DirecTV and BlueRay to feed audio into the receiver. Based on my research last night I think my 9 year old receiver is the limiting factor in this equation.

    I don't like to pass my video signal thru my AV receiver

    As always, you guys have provided some really good information. Based on some of your comments I have been doing some research and I should probably qualify some of my earlier statements. Apparently my receiver is so old that it doesn't support full Dolby TrueHD or DTS-HD. Dolby Digital is...

    I don't like to pass my video signal thru my AV receiver

    Am I the only one? I prefer to send my video signal directly from the DirectTV box and the blue ray player directly into the TV. I also use digital optical cable to send audio to my receiver. That way I don't have to turn the receiver on just to watch the news and I don't have to worry about...

    "Fake" sound bar

    I purchased this very nice entertainment system for my new TV and it has this cutout for a sound bar. Since I have tower speakers and didn't like looking at that empty space I built a "fake" sound bar. Cheesy or not?

    I have my OPPO UDP-203

    Thanks to all. The first thing I did was to connect to my wireless internet and install the updates. So far I have only watched a few blue ray disc from Netflix and the picture is stunning. Edit: I just noticed that I have been a member since 2003 with only 10 post. There should be a prize...

    I have my OPPO UDP-203

    I just received mine last week directly from the manufacturer. This is probably way more than I need but I liked the fact that it did not include the streaming services and since I have a new LG OLED65E6P I figured it would be a good match.

    Speaker Isolation Foam

    Is your sub "down firing"? Do you think it is necessary for front firing subs?

    Speaker Isolation Foam

    Does anyone use this type of speaker isolation foam? I have my bookshelf speakers sitting on top of my entertainment system and this looks like it might help with vibration. Any thoughts?

    Bookshelf speaker auditions

    I ended up going with the HTD Level II bookshelf and center from a member in the classified section. Every post that I read told me to listen to the speakers before making a decision which made me want to stay away from internet direct companies although HTD was highly recommended for an entry...

    Bookshelf speaker auditions

    This weekend I held auditions for 2 sets of bookshelf speakers for my small home theater setup. I have decided to move my 15 year old Bose AM5 to the rear. I always thought that they sounded ok for TV and not very good for music but I hardly ever listen to music in the house. I narrowed my...
