    Would this one work? http://www.sureneeds.com/db9mf06b.html its $4.60 The one from mycables is about 3x the price (12.00)...plus shipping is 7.50. I would hate to spend 20 bucks on a $5.00 cable.

    I can't find the cable needed to connect my computer to the AVM-20. Can someone tell me what sort of cable I need, and if possible, give a link to where I can buy one online?

    The Upgraded Anthem AVM-20 2.1

    So I 'm about to upgrade to 2.12. I'm wondering if there are any settings that need to be adjusted after the upgrade? When I went from 2.09 to 2.12 all sorts of things were changed and I ended up doing a clean setup. Will I need to do that now?

    So does the upgrade erase or change any pre-exsiting settings? I do NOT want to have to redo the setup before Christmas!

    Brian Fitterman: Had the EXACT same problem. Just get a Hosa adaptor and it will work perfectly.

    Umm...sort of. I'm working with two 300 disc Sony CD changers Right now, I have the analog outs of changer 2 go into the analog ins of changer 1. From there, the analog outs go into the AVM20. These changers can be daisy-chained together so you only have to use 1 analog audio in on your...

    Is there any way to assign multiple digital inputs to one source. For example, could I connect two TOS-LINK cd players to the CD source and have the avm-20 detect which was active?

    I leave everything on...all the time. Unless I go out of town I leave everything on. Even my TV. I just make sure that I leave it on Tivo, so that there is constant movement on the screen and the channel changes at least every 60 minutes. Burn -in is baad! But I work from home, so I'm always...

    Now all I have to do is find the cash for it and sneak the player in my system before my fiancee notices! We're getting married in about 2 weeks so I don't want to jeopordize anything!

    Just doing a bit of reading...it would seem I would set the TV input Audio In setting to Auto? Is that correct?

    I'm thinking of adding a second DVD player to my system. A cheapo one that does Region Free. I'm out of inputs though. Is there anyway to assign a source to look at the analog RCA jacks for an analog single and a digital jack for a digital signal. I don't think so, but it doesn't hurt to...

    I keep checking back here to see what news has been posted, but its been so quite. I guess everyone is busy tinkering, tweaking, and configuring. I'm all finished. I'm ready to start the conversation back up and learn about everyone else's experience. My upgrade was really smooth. All my...

    I have the Paradigm 2200 Sub. I think I'll set everything at 80. But, what do I set the Baypass to? I have it on. I think I'd rather have a little but of localization to get slightly more bass. Am I reading that right? Also: I have a 5.1 Setup and I have this as my DVD setup options...

    Finally did the upgrade. All went smooth. Recovered most settings. Almost fully setup. I'm having trouble getting started with my speaker configuration. I don't know where to start. Should I listen to newer, bass heavy movies or more neutral ones? I watch a good mix of the two. For the...

    I plan on recalibrating everything...but I'm a perfectionist, so it takes a while and its a pain in the butt. I'm still reading the manual so that I understand everything before I do the upgrade.

    When I say I've turned it off, I meant from the back panel switch. No...I would never just turn it off from the remote or front panel. I'll do my upgrade tonight while my finance sleeps to avoid any downtime for her. Not looking forward to recalibrating and redoing all my settings though.

    One question I have: I have a "Fogg" box. Basically its a box that plugs into your 6ch input and gives you two 6ch in. So, I have the box plugged into the 6ch in and then I have my SACD player and my DVD-A plyer pluged into the Fogg box. In order to switch input on the Fogg box I use a...

    This afternoon I had some extra free time so I called around a litle more to figure out where I could see Nemo in Digital. First, The AMC person I talked to earlier was clueless. The digital projector that used to be in Barrington went to Toronto, So I called a number of other AMC theaters...

    Does anyone know if there is or will be a digital version of the film that can be shown on Digital Projectors like AOTC and Monsters, Inc? I'm in Chicago and the only Digital Projector I know of is in Barrington. I called AMC customer service and was told that it would NOT be showing on the...

    Bear with me, I know I'm a little slow at times: I don't use Zone 2 or 3 for anything...yet. The part that I don't understand is that Zone 2 output can be stereo only -- so won't this defeat the puprose of using this for DVD-A? However, I have a feeling that I'm not really going to be...

    Ok. That makes sense. But -- WHen you turn on the DVD input for Zone 2...what exactly is happening? I understand that it will trigger the box correctly, but aren't you sending the output of the DVD input to the Zone 2 stereo outputs?

    I'm confused about using the different zones. How would that work? Here is my current setup (I only use Zone 1): SACD stereo --> CD in SACD multichannel --> 6 Channel in CD --> AUX in DVD digital --> Coax in DVD-A --> Unknown So, lets assume now that both the SACD and DVD-A are...

    One last thing: How does the trigger wire plug into the AVM? Is it just a wire or is there something else I would need?
