I have an old AV unit, the DSP A 1000 which was not being used. I had decided to sell it, and hooked it up today to try it out. The unit powers on, and plays a CD for a few seconds before powering off. I opened the unit and replaced the 10A 250 volt ceramic fuse with the same results. I noticed...

Is it possible to set up home theater (A/V unit, subwoofer & Speakers) with a budget of $1500? If so which pieces should I look at? Is it possible to &.1 or will I have to stay at 5.1. The viewing room is about 20' x 20'. Thank you.

I just hooked it up to the analog inputs. I used 8 channels (Front L&R, Surround L&R, Rear Surrond L&R, Center, & subwoofer). Niiiiiiice! It is simply incredible. Thanks all! Thira

SO do I need to connect up like Aaron suggests or do I not have an output set correctly as I now have my system wired with inputs? Thanks

Looking thru Jesse's post below, and looking at SA-CD.net, the Rolling Stones Beggars Banquet is Stereo, hybrid and analogue. So am I correct that my system plays this SACD correct (meaning I must change the settings on my AVR 7200 from digital coax to analog)? When I have this setting the SACD...

Hi all. Looking for some help. I just added the Denon DVD-5900 to my home theater. My AVR unit is the HK AVR 7200. Speakers are: Monitor Audio Silver S10 fronts/main Monitor Audio Silver S1 rears Monitor Audio Silver S-LCR Monitor Audio Silver SFX Surrounds Velodyne HGS-18 Subwoofer The...

I had a similar problem with a wood based Sony turntable I purchased in the 70's, which still performed well. I did find a place that does a great job repairing turntables. I sent mine in and had a great turnaround. The turntable is like new. The prices are very reasonable. Try ...

Mort: I did call Denon and spoke with a very nice representative. I asked to the point questions and my take was that his answers were honest. First of all, anyone can go outside of the USA and bring in DENON products. These would be unauthorized. But Denon while not honoring a warranty would...

I am looking at purchasing the Denon DVD-5900. Web pricing showed sellers $500 less than dealers who are Denon authorized. I called one of these unauthorized dealers and asked about this. His answer to this was an offer to purchase a secondary 4-year warranty for an additional $100. This is...

Thanks so much for the direction in the worlk of phono preamps. I considered the Creek OBH-8 and Parasound PPH-100, and decided to purchase the Creek. NickScott, I might have been a bit too impatient as I went ahead and ordered the Creek. But the NAD PP-2 sounds very interesting and maybe for...

I have a magnetic cartridge. I would like to stay under $250 and prefer a quality piece.

Just added the HK 7200 to my home theater. Previously I was using the Yamaha DSP-A1 which had inputs for my turntable. Does anyone have a recommendation for a preamp for my turntable? Secondly, which input should I connect the turntable to my HK 7200? Thank you

Thank you so much for the input. I did finally find and fix the problem. I had added a media room addition to my home. The room was prewired and sheet rocked in during construction. The electrician must have spliced the right front speaker. I disconnected all speakers but the mains. I added...

Would you take the HK 7200 over the Denon 5803?
