    3806 on the way!!!! Have a few questions about HDMI switching and audio

    I have purchased many blue jeans cable, and I think they are fantastic. You get great quality cables (Mostly belden, but the HDMI/DVI are from avlink) and great connectors. As for HDMI/DVI/Toslink and such (digital signal medium) I believe using decent/good quality cables (such as the avlink...

    Re-furbished DVD players

    I purchased a Denon 2900 refurb from ecost.com about a year ago. It has been great. Before that, I purchased a refurb Denon 1600 from ecost.com and that worked great also. So far, 2 of 2 aint bad :) Kimo

    Strange skipping issue with my Denon 2900.

    Hello All, I have a Denon 2900 (a refurb one from ecost.com got it in october). Everything has been great with it, but today I noticed some skipping while playing two movies. Normally I don't consider this to be a problem (it happens sometimes when the disks are really scratched), but it...

    Playstation Broadband Help

    Ok, can a network cable be split into 2, YES and NO :) A regular cat 5 cable has 8 wires, but only 4 are used for tcpip, thus you can have 2 connections with 1 cable. That's the YES, the NO part is, you need some form of router to hook 2 computers to one high speed connection. What you are...

    denon 2900 @ecost

    I had purchased one of the 2900 from Ecost a month and a half ago, and it is great. I would keep my eyes on ecost, as they 2900 listing seems to disappear/reappear all the time. It is strange that your order got canceled. When I ordered mine, the ecost rep was pretty good at letting me know when...

    Hi Dave, I have watched my copy, and have gone over the 13:40 - 13:46, but I am unable to see any problems... I thought I remember seeing another issue, but I don't remember where it was. I will have to finish watching.. Kimo

    DVD Review HTF REVIEW: The Adventures of Indiana Jones (Highly Recommended)

    I noticed some video jumps in Raiders, anybody else. Specifically in Title 1 Chapter 6, at roughly 17 minutes 15 seconds. Indy is walking, and the video skips. I searched this thread, but could not find anything about a skip/jump... Kimo B.

    Sony STR DA4ES and wavy lines in S-Video

    MattJS, Glad to hear I am not the only one. I was suprised that I did not see it before, and then all of a sudden, there they were. I spent a while trying to make sure it was not my TV, and finally just decided to by pass the reciever, and viola, things looked better. I wonder if it is just a...

    Sony STR DA4ES and wavy lines in S-Video

    Hi MattJS, I also have a Sony 4ES, and noticed some interesting vertical "white" lines when going through the 4ES. (also using s-video). They went away when I went directly into the TV (I have a Panny 53wx43). I decided that it is either feed from the 4ES, or from the cable. I just decided...

    Denon new or refurb?

    I have purchased 2 Denon refub units from ecost.com. First was the 1600, and it worked great until it was stolen. I now have the Denon 2900, and it also works great. I just purchased the extended warranty from Ecost.com to be "safe". Kimo B.

    Scratches on DVD?

    While a minor surface scratch is probably ok, it drives me nuts when I get new discs that have scratches on them. I guess I am too anal about this. I have noticed lately though, that the quality of DVD cases has gone down. I purchased 10 disks the other day (from a mix of studios) (I am...

    Denon 2900 "quieter" than my Denon 1600

    Gene, I agree with you that the Denon 2900 is a great player. I have been listening to a lot of SACD's lately, and they sound fantastic. (I really like the 3 doors down SACD, and the Thriller mix is good too. I noticed an improved sound after I recalibrated my system (via Video Essentials)...

    Denon 2900 "quieter" than my Denon 1600

    thx for the info. I recalibrated my system today, and things sound better (just have to turn the volume up :frowning: ). The picture of the 2900 is great, better than I remember the 1600 being. I wish I still had the 1600 to do a A/B test... Kimo B.

    Denon 2900 "quieter" than my Denon 1600

    Hello All, I just received my Denon 2900, and I immediately noticed a "problem" When playing DVD-A/SACD/DVD-V, I have to turn up the volume on the receiver to get to the same levels the Denon 2900 used to produce. For example, when listening to a DVD-A on the Denon 1600, I would never go...

    Best price for Denon 2900?

    I would call ecost.com for an ETA on refurb units, then preorder it. (mine shipped on Friday) If they won't be getting any more, then you can spend like 710 or something at dakmart.com (they are also authorized dealer)... Kimo B.

    Good universal remote?

    I have always like the Sony AV2000(2100/3000) series remotes. They are a little big, but I like that. I have had my AV2000 (just got an AV3000) for 4+ years, and never had a problem with it.. Kimo B.

    Satellite TV

    To be honest, I don't remember my picture ever changing, or going out due to rain/snow storms. I do remember my parents picture going out, and that was due to 3 feet of snow covering the dish (nothing a broom could not take care off).. I had digital cable for many years (I was not able to get...

    Newbie here......

    Hi Lainie. I can't answer your first question, but I will give the others a shot. 2. Is $99 a good deal for a directivo/extra reciever/dish, I would have to say yes. When I got my directivo, i paid $70 for it, and that did not come with installation (i did it myself). Does install come...

    Satellite TV

    Hi Bob, I currently have DirecTv, and I think it is great. I currently have 3 rooms hooked up, but I have the ability to have 4 rooms with my current hardware (my tivo takes 2 hookups from my multiswitch). The only difference I hearing about between directv and dish (other than package info)...

    My Entire DVD Collection Was Stolen Last Night

    Chuck, I am in the same boat. I came home from a business trip (about 3 weeks ago), and somebody had broken into my home and stole approx 270 (of the 400+) dvd's, my denon 1600, a computer, lcd monitor, ps2, and some other odds and ends. I really, really, really hope they pawn this stuff, as i...

    Component cables

    So are you saying you have composite cables (since I assume your old 27" does not have component inputs), and you want to know if you can use them (i.e. 1 video, 2 audio) as component cables (i.e. 3 video cables)? You can do anything you want, but if all the above cables are not 75ohm, then...

    Denon 1600 problem

    Not sure how much you are looking to spend, but ecost.com has the Denon 2900 for $508 refurb. That is a fantastic price, even with a 1/2 year extended warranty on them. I know that a shippment of 2900's are supposed to arrive on 8/31..... Kimo B (can't wait for my 2900)

    The (in)sanity of collecting DVDs

    To me, my DVD's are more than just discs with movies on them. (though that is what they are :) ). They are one of my many form's of entertainment/relaxation. In the past couple of weeks, I have come to realize how much I love my DVD's. Well, at least the ones I still own. Unfortunatly, I...

    MASTER BURN-IN THREAD: READ THIS FIRST! (And ask follow-ups here.)

    Well, I did it again :frowning: I was watching a show on tivo (damn tivo), and fell asleep on the couch. When I came too, I was looking at the tivo menu...!!!!!! I think it was there for up to 30 minutes, but not 100% sure... I could not have been more than that. I am going to drive myself...
