Thanks much for that info. Guess I will have to be happy with audio from the TV.

Hi--I have a Pioneer VSX-LX102 receiver and I am trying to connect my Sennheiser HDR175 headphones. I have connected the headphone cable to the Optical (tv) output but get no sound to headphones. What additional steps are needed within the receiver to get audio? I now have the headphones hooked...

Problem solved. My USB sticks were not formatted to FAT which is why not recognized.

Sorry my mistake. Working with Pioneer VSX-LX102 receiver and a Sony BR BDP S580. Need help with the process after downloading the video. How do I convert, if necessary, and copy to USB and then play video on Receiver or Blu Ray player? I have always done this via DVD but the new Desk Top is...

Polk suggest both the CS1 and CS2 matched to the Monitor 60 series. Can anyone give an opinion on which would be the best as there doesn't seem to be much difference in the two other than cost?

dmiller68---thanks for the input. At this point I have chosen left and right monitor 70's with the CS2 center, both by Polk. The receiver witll be the Onkyo TX SR 707. I'll probably have to go with a wireless Sub to give me some leeway as to its location. Wish me luck. Frank

Thanks Dave----I have a friend with experience who is now trying to talk me into a low end HT System stating that my speaker choices are too powerful and need to be played very loudly. This is a 3 sided livingroom about 12 x 12 next to an open 12 x 12 diningroom. It seems like the more I learn...

This is my first attempt at HT with a limited budget. I'm looking for validation regarding the equipment I have choosen. Receiver-----Onkyo TX SR707 refurbished for $350 Floorstanding speakers-----Polk Monitor 70 new $200 ea Center speaker-----Polk CS2 refurbished $150...

Gene thanks for the detailed, concise reply. I will download the manuals as you have suggested and consider the 708 but it's a little pricey at this time. I have no interest in 3D and the pass through doesn't seem critical but the Network might be. That is something I will have to investigate...

I was just about to pull the trigger on one of these receivers when a friend who has some knowledge (I have none) said "make sure it has-- #1 Internet connection #2 HDMI pass through #3 Ipod dock #4 Calibration Mic From what I can tell only the SR608 has pass through. I can't tell if...

HI---I'm new to this and it is driving me nutz. I have decided to go totally refurbished to get the best bang but other than the receiver, I"m finding it impossible to pick a Left, Right and Center speaker. Unless challanged, I will be going with a Marantz SR5004 or Onkyo TX SR 707 receiver for...

Getting smarter all the time. It appears there is such a thing as "wireless subwoofers" Now that just might work if I can place it in an open area connected to the living room. I haven't yet found any good reviews so help me out if you have any experience or knowledge in this area.

Doing a little research re my subwoofer problem I found "powered speakers" which produce more base, I think. Any comments would be helpful.

The way my living room is setup I have little to no options to rearrange furniture or to place a sub woofer. My only two options are right under the left front speaker or on the other side of the room between a chair and love seat which is the listening area. So!!!!!! If these locations are...
