I just bought the Onkyo 706 from One Call for $536 and I love it. It was easy to set up and the speaker calibration worked great. The distance measurements were right on. I run my HD DVD and DirecTV HD signals via HDMI 1.3 and I had zero problems setting it up. THEN, I kept noticing a momentary...

I own a new Samsung LN52A850 with a new Onkyo 706 receiver and Toshiba HD DVD Player(Sorry, I picked wrong). I connect via 1.3 HDMI and component as a backup. I have a matched set of Infinity 5.1 speakers anchored with the Infinity Alpha 50's. I may add the 2 side speakers soon for 7.1. I want...

On another thread we settled on Onkyo as the best receiver, with the 606 as a very nice unit. Then I looked at the 705 and then the 805. Now, I've waffled again! I just realized the Onkyo 806 does upconversion to 1080p from all sources, not just HDMI. I love the audio but the videophile in me...

I am struggling over which receiver to get to replace my old Harmon-Kardin av receiver. I am getting a new HD TV(either the Sony 52XBR6 or the Samsung 750) and would like to upgrade to a HDMI capable receiver to upgrade the system. I currently have 5:1 and do not plan to go to the 7:1 but I...

I need to replace my Sony 53HS10 HDTV. Sony has always set the standard except on price. Which set do you think is the best 1080p capable HDTV /

I own the Sony KP-53HS10 RPTV. I am converting from Directv DBS to HD DirecTV. I also have a Progressive Scan DVD that I now have connected via RGB to Video 5. As the book states, my HD TV must connect thru Video 5, so I have to move my DVD to another Video port. How do I connect so I can still...

I have a 5 year old Sony 53HS10 HD Ready RPTv. It has 2 component inputs and 4 S-video, but only 1 Component input is for digital (480p or HD). Is there a switch so I could still get good progressive scan DVD and also get HD Tivo added with my DirecTV? It looks like I would have to either...

Sony DVD Player Freezes and then Skips channels very badly. I have tried cleaning the lens and nothing works. Sony wants a bundle to repair and I'm looking to buy a new one if I cannot get it to work. Any suggestions on what I can do to fix it or should I dump it? Thanks. /s/ Floyd

Does anyone have a read on the Infinity Alpha 50? I know they are a folow-on to the RS and Interlude, but they seem to have an excellent sound and much better quality. Any opinions out there? /s/ Floyd

I have had my NS700P Progressive Scan DVD for a year and it has worked wonderfully until a couple of weeks ago. Now, sometimes when it is changing tracks it freezes and then skips to a different track, usually an older one. This is very annoying when you are watching a movie. Is there a fix for...
