    HK AVR525 & DIRECTV - non DD content.. receiver switches to Logic 7 (please help)

    Thanks Gene.. That's what I'm figuring. I even tried hooking up analog cables along with the coaxial cable to video 2, but the coaxial dominates. I am only running a 2.1 speaker set up.. and Logic 7 just sounds like crap. really frustrating... I love this receiver and my AVR80 before this...

    HK AVR525 & DIRECTV - non DD content.. receiver switches to Logic 7 (please help)

    I just had Directv installed. For all non DD content the receiver automatically switches to Logic 7 and I would rather have it automatically switch to Dolby PLII. Doesn't seem to want to do that for me and it's driving me nuts! Can this be done? Any help would be appreciated... Thanks in...

    DVD - Picture goes black

    Ed, That was my thought process also. I have component cables and tried them but I only get a 480p signal when they are used instead of 720p or 1080i with the HDMI. Are component cables supposed to be able to carry a 720p or 1080i signal? I've been out of the loop a while and not sure.. maybe...

    DVD - Picture goes black

    It seems that every time I watch a dvd.. at some point during the flick the picture will go black for a second or two. The sound will continue but no picture. I thought that it was my dvd player which was a Sony 5 disc changer until I changed it out with a Toshiba A3 HD player and it happens...

    Velodyne DLSXXXX - Junk?

    I appreciate the comments so far. PLEASE don't turn this into a debate. :frowning: I know that Velodyne has made some fine subs over the years. What I want to know.. is whether the DLS series a good sub? $600 (for DLS4000) is not expensive in my mind.. Is it a good value compared to other...

    Velodyne DLSXXXX - Junk?

    I am thinking about getting a Velo DLS4000 sub. I've been demoing the DLS3750 and like what I hear but would like just a little more impact. I haven't been hanging out at the HTF too much lately... so I did a search and there is very little mention of Velodyne. No good?

    Hk Avr 630

    Wendy.. triple check all of your connections. Are you using a dvd player for a cd player? How is it connected? What input is it connected to? Are you selecting the correct input on the receiver? For example.. maybe the player is connected to DVD1 and you have it on DVD2? Are the speakers set to...

    Is the H/K AVR-520 the receiver for me?

    Any other comments form anyone else? Does the 525 have a good track record? How does the Denon 3802 compare? Anything else to look at?

    Is the H/K AVR-520 the receiver for me?

    Thanks again Greg for the reply. If I can do a second zone with the 525 then it would be for me. I didn't think of that. I've been out of the loop for way too long and that's why I posted here ;) At this time I will be using my old Polks for speakers.
