Just to update everyone that helped me, I finally got the Onkyo 660 and installed it last night. The install was a piece of cake due to my basement having a drop ceiling:) It still took me about 7-8 hours just to get everything set up the way I wanted it and to clean up my huge mess! I am very...

Well, I found out some of my channels are digital and some aren't, and the ones that are not I do not get any sound from the digital coaxial. So I am just going to use regular audio cables and if something really good comes on I will plug in the coaxial. Thanks everyone.

I am going to hook up all the video through the TV, so I am just worried about audio. What will the sound be like if I just use A/V cables? And if I do use the digital coaxial will I not get any sound if the program I am watching is not DD? Thanks for the responses guys. And I do like the sound...

Today is the big day I get my HT! I am getting a regular 32" TV, and an Onkyo HTS-660. The receiver has 2 digital outputs. I am going to hook up my X-box with S-video and digital optical, my DVD player with component and digital coaxial. My question is, how should I hook up my digital cable box...

Not your fault at all! Like I said, I still think it is a good deal but they should probably advertise the price for the system as $350, then add $50 shipping. That would be more respectable and honest.

Wow Charlie! That is a hell of a deal! I am definetely going to look into that! Thanks a lot. UPDATE: I just checked the shipping rate and they want almost $150 to ship it ground! This is no more than a $40 package! It is still a good deal at $400, but I still just hate it when a company...

Thanks for the responses everyone. I will check out those websites. I just recently heard my friends Onkyo 6.1 setup, and I was very impressed. I'm sure the 5.1 system will sound almost as good as it, especially to my untrained ears!

Yes this is a HTiB system. I will preface this post with this: This is the best system my budget allows, I already know this is not the preferred HT setup. That being said, can anyone recommend a set of speaker stands for the front and a set of wall mounts for my rear speakers? I will need...

I will make sure to let you guys know what I think of them. And I don't have to worry about shipping, I have a local HH Gregg. The only thing I do have to worry about now is trying to haul a 32" TV in 93 Cobra hatchback! Not a very good combo if you ask me!

Well Charlie, that is what I would normally do, but as I stated, this is just a system for the basement, not my primary viewing room. My intent right now is to get the best complete package for the money I have and get immediate 5.1 gratification. When I redo my family room is when I will be...

Those do look nice but quite a bit to large for my application. Plus if I spend $260+shipping on those I don't think I will be able to get a good receiver with what I will have left to spend. On a side note, does anyone know how much speaker wire the satellites have on this system? Also does...

Thank you FeisalK, but I just happened to find it on sale at HH Gregg for $359. I was not able to find any mags yet, but I have spent many hours here and other places on the web and I feel pretty confident now going with the Onkyo. It seems to have the best receiver/speakers for the money. I...

Sorry about that, I thought I had found the forum which applies!

I just found an Onkyo HTS660 for $440 on globalsupersale.com. Has anyone ever done business with them? Anyone have any opinions on this system?

While i'm at it, does anyone know of a good local place to go here in Columbus, Ohio, to find a good deal on a system. (other than Best Buy, Circuit City, etc.)
