Thanks Jeff. According to responses from another forum, it looks like the Zenith receiver may be a good option. I'm not sure where I'd be able to find it, but I'll look. I also may just wait for something better to come out. What's on the way? Firewire would obviously be good, but picture...

I think it probably is edge enhancement then. When I watched parts of BraveHeart, I didn't notice the problem. I'm surprised Star Wars wasn't done a little better :frowning: Thanks a bunch for your help, --Kyle

Hi all, I'm wanting to get DirecTV and a HD Satellite receiver, but was wondering what's best? I would consider an HDTV Tuner card for a PC, but there aren't any that work with DirecTV currently, correct? This would go with my Mitsu WS-55859 which has IEEE 1394, so FireWire outputs on the...

Hey all, I've been enjoying my new Mitsu, but I recently noticed a little ghosting above the images. As an example, a dark building with clear sky above it has a slight line directly above the building (a ghost of the top of the building). It appears most where light and dark objects...

Hi Michael, I had no source at all hooked up when testing. Just the receiver and the speaker. My house is about the same age as yours, so I wouldn't expect wiring to be a problem, but who knows... Maybe I should try that Monster HT Reference Clean Power Center. Most people seem to...

When I was listening to music, the inputs were digital (optical cable). I didn't change anything in the power management modes, and I've already returned the receiver, so I can't do any more testing, sorry :frowning: Later, --Kyle

In response to Dan's post, I'm wondering if there could be some kind of setting with the receivers as well. As an example, when listening to the Sony in a store, we were listening to a CD's "secret song" where there is no audio between tracks. The Sony was silent (no hiss), but after awhile we...

Regarding the Klipsch speakers being the cause, if that's so, then a lot of other speakers do the same thing. My old JBL speakers do it, and the Paradigm (I think that's what we were listening to) speakers in the store did it as well... I don't doubt that it's worse in the Klispch speakers...

Hi Michael, The hissing has been easy to duplicate for me. You may want to read through this thread for more info. As noted, I hear the hiss at the first volume setting on the dial with my ear right up to the speaker. I can hear it even with nothing else connected to the receiver except...

Hey All, (This is also posted in my other thread "Hiss with Denon 3802 on Klipsch Reference" but since it is important to both I posted it here too). Well, I'm pretty convinced that all or at least most receivers have the hiss I have been experiencing. I heard it in another Denon...

Hey All, Well, I'm pretty convinced that all or at least most receivers have the hiss I have been experiencing. I heard it in another Denon 3802 in a dealer's setup as well as a Pioneer Elite (worse in the Pioneer). I ended up buying a Sony 5ES to directly compare to the Denon at...

Hey all, Many of you may recall I was getting hiss with my Denon 3802 + Klipsch RF3 II speakers (w/ no source) and the hiss got worse when a CD was playing (perhaps just CD hiss). Well, I went to a local store and listened to the Denon 3802 there, and the hiss was there too (as well as a...

FYI, I spoke with Denon technical support regarding this issue, and they seemed to think it was normal... I don't think that buying a MSRP $1,200 receiver and hearing hiss at -70 on the volume dial is normal myself. In a $200 receiver, maybe. :frowning: They claimed it was due to the...

Hi again... Well, I have more conclusive results that allow me to definitely blame the problem on the 3802. I disconnected the 3802 from all components and speaker. I took the 3802 to a wall outlet separate from everything else. I plugged it in and one speaker (Klipsch RF3-II) and...

Okay, I found another very odd thing about my problem: When I turn the volume all the way up to +15, the hiss gets louder, but I could *also* hear an FM radio station! I could hear it loud enough that I could clearly make out the song anywhere in the room - "Running with the Devilllll..." I...

Hi all, Well, I've done more testing and I'm not too happy with the results: 1. The hiss occurs immediately when I take the volume from off to -70 (the first volume setting). I just hadn't noticed it before. 2. The hiss gets slightly louder as I turn up the volume to max. Also, as I...

Wow, thanks again for all the helpful replies. I didn't have time last night, but I will try again tonight with additional CDs and the other tips suggested here. My RPTV gets delivered on Saturday, so I'll rewire things then as well - perhaps that will make a difference too. Take care, --Kyle

Hey John, No, I don't hear anything with the CD player stopped (IIRC). It sounds possible that it's just the CD recordings, but it's mostly relatively new music so I wouldn't expect problems (i.e. Pearl Jam - Yield). The CD player I'm using is a Toshiba 5 disk DVD changer (don't...

Roger, I notice the hiss when I'm a good distance from the speakers at high volumes, but it's most noticable right next to them. The test tones just sound like static to me, so I'm not sure how I'd differentiate, but I'll give it a try... Tom, Glad to hear I'm not the only one, I...

Hey all, I now have my Denon 3802 plus Klipsch reference series (RF3 II) 5.1 set (no sub yet though). Anyway, when playing CDs through my DVD player's optical output (or my old CD player's RCA output), I hear hiss (or static?) at moderately high volumes (starts around -22 on the volume dial)...

Hi All, Due to wife and room layout issues (not to mention wiring issues), I'm trying to find a good place for the subwoofer in my HT setup. Below is a graphic that depicts what will go where, along with 3 boxes for where the subwoofer could go: Link Removed Position 1 is ideal for me...

Thanks for all your thoughts. I still haven't made a final decision. Price and the wife's thoughts on the appearance will be determining factors... She's suddenly not happy about having *any* subwoofer taking up more room ;) Both do sound like great subs though, and if price were equal and...

Hi all, After reading the discussions here, it sounds like an SVS or Hsu sub would be best for me. I'm a little skeptical in buying them though b/c I've never heard either of them myself. Could someone point me to some independent reviews that directly compare either of these to other...
