I built my own as well, I've been very pleased, cost about 20 dollars to make a 5 foot cable (bought rca's, solder, wire) out of Cat-5, it has been done before, time to make more though. -Greer
David (nice to see a fellow Hokie)...I'm pleased with my SR-700, and at the price difference, I am glad I stepped up for the extra features, as for the "power ratings" the owners manual says 80 watts a channel with 2 driven....read the manual as it is more correct than the website (and the...
I've been very pleased with my 700 as of yet. I have not cranked it as I feel the power is plenty loud for my current setup (no sub yet...I'm building my HT this summer). Anyhow, the onkyo user manual lists the power as 100 watts with 2 channels driven at 8ohms....while the website says 100x6...
Norman, true, I guess it should be re-written on the website, however the owners manual is available online from onkyo as well, I know I read it before I received my 700 (I was waiting for a few months so I had to do something)
-Greer
not to be off base here(since I haven't seen this posted). On my owners manual(I have the 700 btw, but the owners manual is for both), it says for power "80W per channel min. RMS at 8 Ohm, 2 Channels Driven from 20Hz to 20kHz with no more than 0.08% total harmonic distortion).
So really they...
I picked up the Toshiba 32A41 from best buy the other day, best price I could get locally and it ran just under 500 after tax. I'm pleased with the unit, there are a few things I don't like (only 2 set of A/V inputs, none on front, slower channel switching than old roommates JVC 32", and the...
Matt, I'm currently fighting the same issue. I'm looking at the Wega 27", the JVC i-Art 27" and the Toshiba 32A41. Right now I think the Toshiba is going to win out for features and size, that and the picture is very nice on it, unfortunately, I haven't been able to see a dvd on the 32a41, but...

if budget isn't the option, I'd say go with the 700 as it has preamps for everything if you ever want to upgrade, plus some other toys (upgraded remote I believe, dual room terminal upgrade, etc)
-Greer
my complaint about the 32a41 is the lack of front av inputs on the non flat screen variety....though at the price best buy has, I don't think it will deter me from purchasing
-Greer
Jim, you must have been heartbroken on that first deck. Glad to hear all is well, give us a further review....I went ahead an pre ordered the 700...can't wait.

I am starting my research on 27/32" TV's. And I have started to stumble a bit, from what I have read, 16:9 squeeze actually stretches the video horizontally to make use of the full screen, is this correct? my roommate says his 32" JVC (don't know model, it is one of the 2 D series, can't really...
but the ability to put your hands on things is a nice feature, even if you don't buy local you can look. The shop near me carries onkyo, but only has a few receivers hooked up, either the $2000 model or the 200 model.

oh to be in NOVA again, instead of middle of nowhere blacksburg...something to be said about being in a major metropolitan area I guess. Closest best buy is 45 min away.

Onkyo hasn't released the 700 and the 600 is in limited quantities still.
I do link onkyo and I like their design/functionality. A few of my friends have them and I've been impressed with their reliability and performance.
-Greer
I'm cancelling my 600 order an going for the 700...I guess if I have to wait, might as well wait on the better model an take the plung so to speak.

I can't find that model on samsungs site or on the bestbuy site...has it changed since the last model year?
EDIT: it appears it no longer has the F designation on the website, which is why the search was failing.
-Greer
nothing yet on a confirmation letter, but I ordered a day later than you did I believe. Then again, down here, the mail is slow. I'm still debating waiting on the 700 or not

Daniel,
I ended up getting a hold of Hal at extension 1027. He told me he has emailed his buyer an to check back in a couple days (this was thursday afternoon). Does anyone know when the SR700 is coming out. Thinking I might wait a bit since I have to wait already and get it since it has...
