hello, I am currently looking for a DVD player that can easily be changed to play all regions, does very good PAL to NTSC conversion, upconverting through component outputs, de-interlaces preferably (like the Oppos used to do), excellent picture and just an overall solid quality player. Blu...

Hello, Ok I have a sort of odd and probably dumb question. I recently moved so I now have more space to spread out my speakers and equipment. However the spot where I want to place my rack would be too far from my mains and center channel speaker (Paradigm 7's and a CC370) so I would need...

hello, I am considering buying a subwoofer isolation riser from Auralex but have a question. My sub, which is an Adire, is approximately 16x18 and the riser is 15x15, unless I get the larger one which is not only too large but also way more expensive. So basically my sub will be hanging off...

Hello, I apologize for starting a new thread about this but going through some of the older threads it seems this wasn't directly addressed. Is the mono track on this genuine mono or is it a downmix from the 5.1? I have been told by one person that it is not genuine mono but still would like...

Hello, Out of sheer curiousity, is it recommended to sit a cd player or any similar component on top of a reciever? Most receivers have the vents on top and I figured it is better not to have something obstructing air flow, however is it bad to sit a component on top anyway? Thanks in advance

Hello, I have the Onkyo 600 with Monitor 7's, mini monitors, CC370 and the Rava I noticed when watching films, during certain scenes, like explosions or screaming, I will sometimes get almost like a light crackle sound coming out of the center and mains. I am wondering if my system...

Hello, Has anyone dealt with DataVision before? If so are they reliable? Any good/bad experiences? I am thinking of buying a set from them. Their prices seem pretty decent. Thanks in advance

If you were to call up a manafacturer and request a service menu manual for your TV would they sell you one without a problem or do most companies hesitate or just refuse to sell it to just any regular person?

Is there a way to know your speakers are blown or damaged other than the obvious clue which would be no sound coming from the speaker? Is there some test or some other way of knowing?

Hello, I just picked up the Samsung TXM3097WHF 16:9 30 inch set. It looked pretty decent right out of the box but now I noticed there is a problem with it. When watching cable TV I notice a blue vertical blue line on the left side of the screen. It will show up briefly then go away. It...

Can Velocity Scan be turned off on the 32 inch flat screens (TSL3293HF) the way it can be on the Sony Wegas? ALso I have heard, and poste don a couple other posts that this set may be discontinued, according to BB

OK this is a pretty strange problem I noticed last night. The video out of my DVD player is hooked up via composite outs to the video in of my VCR. YEs this is not the greatest but it is holding me up until I get my TV which will be very soon. The TV I have currently only has an input for...

Hello, What Samsung sets are there equivalent to the 32 inch Wega that goes for around $900. Right now I am still leaning on the Wega but after playing with a Samsung, at the store it has me thinking. There is also a Sharp TV now in this price range but looks very basic and Sharp will not...

Is it advised to get a sub that is sheilded in case it is to sit close or next to a TV? I am considering a Wega and would like to know if I should get a sub shielded which incidentally is looking to be a RAVA.

Someone I know is wanting to sell thier old reciever which is a Yamaha rx-v592 What is this reciever worth second hand now or perhaps someone knows of a site where I might gather such information. Thanks

Hello, Here is the system Onkyo 600 Monitor 7's- mains Mini Monitors- surround CC370- center I am now in search of a sub. Currently my one choice is the Adire Rava. However if there is some other subs some of you may recommend, in the $300 or so price range, I would most appreciate...

Hello, Does anyone have this sub with this reciever. If so I would like to know how it is and more importantly are the 2 compatible in terms of the Onkyo not having any problems due to the recent power issues.

If you have the back center speaker hooked up and you are in 5.1, do you still get sound out of that speaker or will you only get sound when in 6.1? I am wondering if it is really that important to have that back center speaker since there is very few films with that option.

Awhile back there was some talk about how you are better off with bookshelf speakers over tower/floorstanding speakers if you are looking at under $1000 price range of speakers. Would anyone like to share thier opinion on this matter? I was wondering as I was considering at one point the...

Hello, Well I decided to go with mini monitors all around. I couldn't decide between the monitor 7's or minis. I figured I may be well enough with mini though I am still wondering if I made the right choice. Anyway I didn't get a center yet and was considering getting one as a center. The...

Ok so I get my Onkyo in the mail finally after a bit of a wait and I came to the unpleasant surprise it has no inputs for phono. Cripes! I never thought of asking or looking to see if it had one. Originally back in January I had ordered a 595 which has the inputs but due to it being...

Hello, Ok on my quest for a 595, since I have been waiting for overa month from the store to get one, I started to call other places. Most places are experiencing some backorder issues. I called Onkyo and they said stores shouldn't be having a problem but that some stores may be in...

Hello. I ordered the Onkyo 595 about a month ago and the store is having some difficulties getting it in. A month later and they say it is on backorder. I called another HT store by me and they too say it is on backorder and may stay that way until April. Bigger chain stores near me have...

How important is timbre matching. When they say the CC 370 is timbre matched for the monitor lines the way the CC 170 is timbre matched for the performance series....how important is this? If I choose to have MOnitor 7's but have a 32 inch set, would the CC370 be a bit much or is it just a...

Hello, Well after reading reviews praising the Rava for being a great music sub, I was wondering how it stands for HT. Any opinions on it. Since it is online sales only I would like to hear some opinions before I jump on it. Thanks again

What are some disadvantages and advantages if any to either of these 2? They come out to almost the same price. I figure that for the small amount of money you are better off with the 7's since they are larger, tower speakers Any help is most appreciated

OK I am in a bind now. I hate being so indecisive and all but here it goes. I was about to get the following Monitor 7 cc370 mini monitor (surrounds) Anyway I was listening to the Monitor 7's and wondered it maybe they were too much for my living space. I hear they are not the...

OK I should have posted this in this section so... What are the differences between the Monitor Series vs Performance series specifically the phantoms vs monitor 7? The price difference is like $175 The specs don't seem to be drastically different either. While I did go for the...

OK now is the Sub question. My setup thus far, Onkyo 595 Monitor 7 mains CC370 center Titans /Mini Monitors/Monitor3's for rears..still deciding....Minis are winning so far.. I am trying to decide what would be better in this setup as far as a sub. I tried the PDR8 and 10 and they...

Ok so far my setup I am waiting on is Monitor 7 CC370 center Titans for rears Onkyo595 I already upgraded from the CC270 to the CC370 after some advice on this forum and hearing the 370 again. Now I am thinking of upgrading the Titans to either the Mini Monitors or the Monitor 5's...
