Christine - as requested... I sent you an email with photos etc. It went today from my gmail account - please check your yahoo spam/bulk mailbox if you don't see it in your regualr Inbox.

Sold.

Thanks to all. After more reading and research - and these helpful replies - I think I'll start by using an AV receiver that has pre-amp outs as my processor and just dump the 970 (for which I'll get very little but that's okay.) My colleague has a Denon 2008 vintage AVR987 (one of the units...

I don't anticipate ever wanting 3D TV in the foreseeable future. I'm sort of wondering if I should just sell the 7125 (and could throw the 970 in at no extra cost as a package deal.) If I do that and just use the internal amps of the SR6005 receiver I think that resolves my issues - right? But I...

Hello to all. I have not been active in this forum since I put together the pieces for a better home theater about three years ago but some family situations and schedule issues put the project on hold until now. I have put together a system comprised of NHT ST4 towers, SDP-2 surrounds, SC-2...

Follow-up: I did d find a thread that discusses whether the optical out will support Dolby Digital or DTS and the answers are unclear. Some suggest that the optical out is only for sending audio data from audio CDs and other say it supports Dolby Digital but not DTS...

Hi Christine - I am not planning to keep the discs. There are roughly 50 of them and all are in absolutely pristine condition with original jackets. MY GF is home for several weeks recuperating from surgery. She's dying to have a new project - I'll ask her to catalogue them and can provide you...

I have a single NHT M5 speaker that was purchased intending to use it as a center channel but my plans changed. It is new in box with grill (literally never used) and I'm now seeking a second one in order to have a left-right pair for stereo audio. My price range is $150 and it should be in...

Hi Christine - I regret that I can't help with the Pioneer but if he needs a replacement unit or second LD player I do have a Panasonic LX-900 that I used sporadically for a few years and then stored in the original box in the closet. When DVDs became available I shifted away from LD but I have...

I think your ears already answered your question. When you get past all the marketing hoo-hah you have the quality of the component pieces used to buidl the speakers and then the desing and construction quality, attention to detail etc. You can't make crappy drivers sound sublime and amazing...

That's good news - thanks. The room is only 10 x 17 with 9 foot ceilings and the systems is already a bit of overkill for the amount of space. I doubt that I'll ever turn it up past 3 or 4 but will certainly keep the caveat in mind if I ever migrate it to a larger space.

Oops. Just realized that it's my new Samsung display that has the USB port - not my Panny BD30. That said - I'm still wondering why the firmware would go on a CD. Can't I just take a laptop and run the upgrade directly from that?

HL61A750 is down to $1274.95 delivered price from Vann's Electronics of Montana. I spotted one for $1599 at the local Best Buy a few weeks ago marked "open box special - last one". That prompted me to check Amazon... who had it for $1399.... and showed Vann's as the supplier. I checked Vann's...

I'm still learning the quirks of my new Panny BD30 but as my first piece of true HD equipment I'm quite pleased. Upscaled standard DVDs seem to have apparent resolution etc. based very much on original source quality. I watched a House MD disc and it looked almost like HD. My previous...
