Hi, I am having a problem setting up a macro on the remote for this reciever. I can get a macro set up to turn on the amp, then the TV then the DVD player but cannnot get the amp to switch from whatever source it happens to be set at to DVD. I have already set up the remote with the...
It seems that the DTS decoder on my HK AVR-500 is having some problems. Every now and then when watching a DTS DVD the sound being output from one or more of the speakers in the 5.1 setup will include a really harsh sybillance or 'scratchy' sound. The sound could be equated to the sound that you...
Hi, My 20-39PCi has arrived in my city! Unfortunately, UPS cannot set up delivery times and, as I have to work for a living, cannot stay at home to wait for the delivery. I can pick up at the UPS location but am not sure if it will fit in my car. I have a 2001 Malibu. Can anyone tell me what...
HI, I'm still thinking of buying a 1646CS and wanted to use a seperate amp to drive it. (QSC RMX850) However, in thinking about this I realized that I won't have any way to adjust the crossover freq. as I would with the powered sub. My reciever has no real bass management (HK AVR-500) with a...

I was looking at some new subs yesterday and was told by the salesman that using the front channel pre outs on my reciever was a superior connection for subs than using the LFE out (single rca out. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? My current setup has the pre-outs running to a...
If I watch a 2:35:1 "enhanced for widescreen" DVD on a widescreen tv, should I see the black bars at the top and bottom without using a "stretch mode" on my tv? Tosh 65hx83 with pioneer dv-563a-s. DVD set to progressive. TV set to "film" with 540p or 1080i, whichever looks better for the dvd...
I have waited a couple of years now to buy an HDTV compatible RPTV. (Used to have Tosh 50" 4:3 RPTV) I always thought the greatest advantage of going to an HDTV compatible TV was that I could use progressive scanning from my DVD. Now I'm not so sure. With my new TV I still see scan lines at...
