The ideal way to do this is for your preamp to have a HT pass through. It basicaly sends the signal straight through to the amp. Volume is controlled by the receiver.

Emailed you.

Arrgh! Thanks, Mike. Do other receivers with mcacc like eq work with the 5.1 ins?

Arrgh! Thanks, Mike.

Does the mcacc work with the 5.1 inputs?

How about running the preouts into another receiver/integrated amp in the other room?

Thank you, Yohan. Any idea on channel levels? I imagine they stay the same for every sound field or different for each sound field but not by input.

Queston for 1014 owners. What does the receiver do with sound fields and channel levels when switching inputs? Will it remember the last sound field when you switch back to a input (like Denon) or will it keep the presently selected sound field? Thanks,

Tingwe, not sure how the 1014 is but most receivers tend to have higher distortion on the sub out when cranked up in the receiver. Therefore, I try to run the sub out

Here's a few http://cgi.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/srch_fs.pl Go down to the classifieds and click away.;)

I have also been researching NB's in the same $ range. BB has a nice Toshiba for 1K after rebates: Celeron 2.8gig, 512ram, 15", 40gb, dvd drive. It was a very quiet machine too. Dell is similar but you can customize it. I'm deciding now if the DVD-r is worth the $200 more. Probably will be for...

Just picked one up from BB for 170.99. Bought 2 SACD and one DVD-A. I'll be setting up during the Yankee/Redsox game and listening inbetween innings:)

Thanks Kelly.

Looks like a trip to BB tomorrow. Does this unit allow for selectable center? yes/no

Thanks John, the BB's here didn't cary Pioneer DVD players. I'll have to check again. Thank you.

Are these players in the B&M stores yet? If so, where? If not, who has em on line besides Crutchfield?

Thanks for the translation. It talks about no time delay for SACD....does that mean it will output a pure DSD signal with no PCM conversion??

If you can DIY yourself check out the Partsexpress DIY's for $138. They sould great but are a 4 ohm load and inefficient. I heard them at the MAF2002 and was very impressed.

Thanks, Jagan. Didn't catch that. And to think I quickly searched the whole AVS thread too.:frowning:

Does anyone know the crossover point and slope of the 2900? Thanks,

Yes, that is a cool feature. Don't know how far that is from you, but good luck!!

If you click on the zip it says: Carlsbad (CA)

I think there was a pair just posted on audiogon. Yep, here it is http://cgi.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cl.p...2179585&2&3&4&

Thank you for the good news. Let's hope they get the bass mgmt. right!! It does seem like a good player. Of course we will have to wait to hear the thing first.

Thank you Jagan

That was very well explained, Jagan. I've tried to ask the same question before but never got a usable answer. Can you explain the differences in those DAC's using interlaced or proscan modes? In other words, do the faster DAC's help in interlace mode or just in proscan? Thanks,

Looks pretty impressive. Wonder what the street price will be?

Thanks for your response Bob. I remember sony softer, tosh sharper back when I was researching widescreens. I am going to check out Secrets too.

Do the DVD Players with higher video DAC's improve interlaced playback or just progressive scan mode? I see the Sony 755 has 108Mz/12bit vidio Dacs. Will this improve video in interlaced mode? Does it require something to be recorded in 108/12 like audio? Thanks for your help.

Just a note. I generally agree with spreading speakers and giving them room to "breathe." However, did you ever notice...say a car going from left to right. The car can enter the screen but the sound is farther to the left. The sound is not where the action is. I don't know if I am making...
