Hi All! It's moving time and thus time to shed some Home Theater items that won't be making it to the new abode. Accordingly, the following items which are in MINT, IMMACULATE, NEAR-NEW condition are available for your consideration and purchase. These items were hardly used, kept in a...

Thanks for your reply! Yeah, I know what I’d like a fully new system to do but I definitely need professional help selecting and installing the equipment, wiring, etc. I’m in Staten Island, New York. I called one place in New Jersey with a great reputation for sales and service and they told me...

I gotcha. As stated, I’d like to just set up a NEW system for DVD, CD, Vinyl and streaming services such as SiriusXM, etc. with a new TV as well. Problem is getting ANYONE to help me make informed equipment selection and then install and fine tune the components. I want a turnkey event but I’m...

Thank you men for your respective inputs. Ideally I need to just chuck everything I have and start anew but it’s apparently easier “thought about” than done. I’m having a real tough time finding ANY AV store or service that will listen to what I want in a system and make recommendations. With a...

I believe that’s what is being used. My system was installed by the equipment supplier but I’m pretty sure it’s using the component / s video connections. No optical or HDMI that is for sure! Am I out of luck? I’m trying to just swap out the old DVD player for a new one without having to revamp...

Thanks. Any current DVD players with the same type of rear connections available in today’s market??

Looking for advice on a current (good or great) DVD player (no LD) to replace my vintage Pioneer DVL-919 DVD / LD player. I want the new player to have the same physical connections as the current Pioneer so I don’t have to rewire the whole system. If anyone is familiar with the Pioneer and it’s...

Hello all! Been a while since I posted / participated on the forum due to myriad reasons. Anyway, I am back and I have a question that hopefully can be answered. I have an aging home theater / stereo system - the components are in pristine condition but some no longer function and repair seems...

Not sure exactly what you mean. Also, "Dig 3 In" and "Dig 4 In" are in use as well as the "RF In." Most of the "audio" connections to the right of these connections are also taken except for "TV" - "LD" and maybe 1 or two others further to the right.

Sam: If I use the coaxial digital out from the Sony, WHERE would I connect it on the SR-18? Not many open spots left at the moment. Also, I cannot get the SR-18 menu on the screen (OSD) - I tried and the manual is just way to confusing - any ideas? The Sony menu is quite simply and right now, is...

Sam: Thanks for your reply, I hope the images I've attached are viewable. As for the connections for the Sony DVD player, the "component" cables are connected to the SR-18 in the top middle where it says "Component Video." The other set of component connections are being used by the Pioneer...

I have my Sony DVP-NS50P (Cheap) CD/DVD player connected via "component" cables to my Marantz SR-18 AV Surround Receiver. The audio (L / R) is connected to the "LD" audio input on the Marantz by way of Monster cables. When these components were connected via "S-Video" connections, all worked...

Hello all! Thanks for your replies. I did something I should have done 'initially' - I located the instruction manual for the DVL-919 and after "searching" I found out how to access the confusing "menu" to switch the output from "S" video to "component!" For sure, given current systems, this is...

I just updated my "older" system by replacing the "S" video connections with new "component" connections, going from my Pioneer DVL-919 to the Marantz SR-18 and out to a 51" Samsung Plasma TV. Sound, clarity, etc. is all good but NO COLOR, just B&W! Can anyone advise what the problem may be? I...

OK Jim. Thanks much!!

No suggestions? Anyone??

The stand I have (that the broken Loewe is sitting on presently) is 39 inches wide and 21 inches deep - it should be able to support the stand that comes with the new television that I would get. Since the idea of "bulb" replacement is not a happy one for me, I think either LED or LCD will be...

Hello again. Ok, here goes: the room is approximately 12 x 15 (basement) and I can make it pitch black if desired as there is only 1 window and it has a room darkening (blackout) shade on it; the ceiling lights are on dimmers so I have full control of the lighting. As to size, I have...

Gentlemen, thanks for your replies, much appreciated. Can anyone recommend a good flat panel replacement? I have room (once I remove the 2 ton Loewe) and would trust the opinions I get from this forum, over the "internet reviews." Thanks in advance for any assistance!!! PS: I would use the stand...

I have a LOEWE Art 736 MB01 36" digital television and it seems the power supply or something "snapped" tonight when I turned it on; now it shuts itself off and there is a burning smell coming from the back of it. The question is: is it worth fixing or is it too old (purchased in April 2000 for...

Just bumping this up for more input (hopefully). Thank you!!

OK, thanks to all for replying. I "think" I'm getting this now - the "on / off" switch on the AVS2000SS is for the "switched" outlets only and also the three (3) LED displays on the unit (voltage, correction and ampere draw). So, if I connect my AVS7000SS to the "unswitched" outlet on the back...

Kevin_Kr - check YOUR PM!

Nicholas: Thank you for your "quick" reply - that is one of my concerns - that the connected equipment will NOT be regulated when the AVS2000 is OFF. However, it makes sense that it is OK as long as it is just the VCR clocks and cable box clocks that are "powered" - in my case, my Marantz A/V...

Hello - perhaps someone can assist me with this: I am currently using the Monster HTPS7000SS Power Source with all of my peripherals plugged into it (including the cable tv service and external (roof) mounted FM antenna). I am considering purchasing the Monster AVS2000 Voltage Stabilizer and...

Hi: Thank you for your replies. Right now, I have a small FM-specific roof mounted antenna with the coaxial cable coming straight down to the back of my equipment (via a stop at the Monster HTSP7000 signature series power center first). However, I am concerned that even with this protection...

Hello again. Can anyone advise of a manufacturer of a really good indoor FM antenna to connect to my Marantz AV receiver? I was looking at Terk, wondering if that is the best or there is better? Please provide a manufacturer and model in your reply, if possible. Thank you!

Hello Again! Well, I don't have my cables going through a "whole house" protection system, that would be quite a task at this point, since the house is basically "sealed." I had a licensed electrician install the whole house surge protectors for the electrical side of things, however, as you...

Hi: Thanks for replying. I have not measured the fluctuations, however, the Panamax 1000+ that got toasted was "stuck" in the "overvoltage" mode which, according to the manual, is anything greater that 130 volts. My whole neighborhood and others I'm sure, experience these problems and although...

My old "Panamax 1000+" power center got toasted and now I am trying to determine the BEST power source to purchase (Monster??) and HOW to connect my equipment (switched, always on, delayed, etc). I live in New York, in an area with constant power fluctuations, disruptions, over and under...
