    New Pioneer Elite SC-05 Help

    I think you have to go into the set up menu and assign that optical input to the corasponding device, in your case TV/SAT. All the inputs on the Pioneer are assignable. That is the way it is on my SC-27, the SC-05 should not be all that different.

    Denon 4310CI or Pioneer Elite SC-27

    At this point, I have decided to keep the Pioneer Elite SC-27. It sounds as good as the Denon 4310 and sounds better than my Denon 3805 that it replaced. It does everything it is supposed to do. The menus are not as pretty as the Denon and I wish that more of the settings were on the OSD/GUI...

    Denon 4310CI or Pioneer Elite SC-27

    Well, I brought home both a Denon 4310CI and a Pioneer Elite SC-27 this weekend. The Denon was nice, but many of the direct access features of my Denon 3805 were missing. I could no longer adjust speaker levels with the push of one button on the remote. The 4310 seems to require that you go the...

    Upscaled dvds no better than 480p through component?

    It's my understanding that most players will not upsacle through componet connections. This was at the request of the studios. There may be some that do, but most only upconvert through DVI or HDMI.

    Receiver suggestion with Klipsch speakers

    Yamaha, has made some strides in making thier recievers warmer sounding since I owned my RX-V 995, but I still say Denon is a better choice, and as mentioned Marantz would also make a good choice. If you are on a budget, Denon does make decient receivers in the 400-500 range. Since the Klipsch...

    Receiver suggestion with Klipsch speakers

    I have Klipsch KLF-20's. My first Receiver with them was a Yamaha RX-V 995 and it was bright and sometimes fatiguing to my ears. A few years latter, I purchased a Denon 3805, much warmer sound, not overly bright as the Yamaha. A friend of mine has the same speakers paired up with a new Pioneer...

    Vista Sortcut Icon !@#$?

    Thanks patrick_s, I found a neat little program called FxVisor from FrameWorkx http://www.frameworkx.com/Frameworkx...on.aspx?id=632 Works very well, it will allow you to use a smaller overlay or none at all.

    Vista Sortcut Icon !@#$?

    Has anybody figured a way to either change or remove the arrow icon that indicates a short cut. They are so large they cover 1/4 of the icon. It was much smaller in XP and it was changeable. Any ideas ?

    Songs That Deal With The Human Condition

    I saw that Dark Side Of The Moon and The Wall were mentioned. The Wall is a especially good one. Another good one is Roger Water's Amused To Death.

    Other Shoe Drops: Will Blu-Ray be HDMI Only Too?

    Ron, You may want to read this article about Blu-Ray called " Blu-ray makes unexpected, three-way DRM choice for high-def DVD" that appeared on Tom's Hardware today. http://www.tomshardware.com/hardnews...10_131820.html This does not look good, especially the part about a manditory...

    NAV 2005 - is this inevitable!?!

    As far as the Friday 8pm scan, all you have to do is go to Control PanelScheduled Task and change when it does it's scan. I set mine to 3am on Sunday. You did not mention what kind of computer you are using, but I have a P4 3.2ghz with Windows XP SP2 and found that NAV was a memory hog. This may...

    I had the same problem, Dish Network came to my house to install a dish and could not find a good line of sight from my roof due to tall trees. He was able to get a good reading from my back yard. For an extra $25 he installed my dish on a metal pole in my back yard. It is not exactly what I...

    DVD Profiler & CueCat - Will Not Scan

    I have a Radio Shack CueCat bar code scanner attached to my computer. It is plugged into the keyboard PS2 Port. This port is normally unused because I have a USB Keyboard. The red LED does light up on the CueCat. I have tried scanning the barcode using the DVD Profiler plug in and with the...

    Denon 3805 - Tone control - Not Enough Bass

    The reason I need to boost the Bass is because my HT is in a finished basement. The floor is carpeted but it is concrete underneath. After playing with the settings, I have it working pretty good now. I did some manual adjustments with the equalizer and adjusted the Subwoofer levels and things...

    Denon 3805 - Tone control - Not Enough Bass

    I just recently replaced my Yamaha RXV-995 with a Denon 3805. I have gone through all the setup procedures. When listening to music there seems to be a lack of bass. I have adjusted the bass level to +6 and it gets somewhat better but not near the bass output that my Yamaha was putting out. I...

    EMI in talks to purchase Warner Bros. Music

    I also agree that DVD-A and SACD are not really going anywhere. Best Buy & Circuit City does little to promote it, they only sell one SACD Player and they only have a small handful of discs buried in the back corner of the store. They do have more DVD-A discs, but they are buried in the DVD...

    DVD-A & SACD... What to do ?

    Philip & Scott, If I use the switch boxes as you suggest, and say I use a Sony unit for SACD and a RP-91 for DVD-A, which I understand does not have great bass management and then decided to use a Outlaw ICBM, wont I need yet another set of cables to add to the 3 sets already in use? This...

    DVD-A & SACD... What to do ?

    Thanks for all the replies and advice. I have still not made a decision yet, but I am swaying towards waiting and trying to find a Universal Player that I like. So far the Yamaha S-2300 seems promising, but I have found very little information about it. If anybody knows, how is the bass...

    DVD-A & SACD... What to do ?

    I am trying to decide which route to take concerning DVD-A and SACD. On one hand I can get one of the new universal players that can play both formats. On the other hand, I can get two units, one for SACD and one for DVD-A. I am also going to use one of these for video playback as well. I have a...
