I was looking to pick up this kit: http://www.solidsignal.com/prod_disp...oom=zoom#xview Once you strip the cable are you supposed to flare the braid back over the outer jacket and then slide the connector on and crimp it down, or do you just slide the connector on and crimp? I looked for...

I've searched this forum and found dozens of posts regarding the deaded buzz. The buzz in my system is very faint, and you have to put your ears within a few inches of the speakers to hear it. Additional info: 1) I had a Lutron dimmer that was definitely adding some buzz, and once I...

I've always had my 3803 plugged into the "adjustable delay" bank on the Panamax 5300, and my sub amp in the "high current" bank. Is there any benefit of connecting the 3803 to the "high current" bank? I am not sure if the current of the "adjustable bank" could be limiting the 3803.... Here's...

Silver Serpent® REFERENCE Component Video Cable It looks like Belden 7710a cable with Canare RCAPS. I am just trying to figure out why it's so expensive when you compare it to Blue Jeans, HeartLand, Rhino, etc.

I just picked up the 3803 thanks to this forum (thank you) and I have Klipsch Reference Series III v2 mains and surrounds w/ a pair of SVS 20-39CS+'s. Should I set the 3803 crossover to 80Hz or 60Hz?

I picked up a Denon DCM-380 from eCost a few weeks ago for 93.00 shipped. It arrived in excellent condition and only had a couple of spots on the top where a previous component was placed. This was not a big deal since my DVD-2200 is resting on top of it in my rack. The DCM-380 has HDCD in...

The AVR-3802 has Analog Devices 24 bit, 96 kHz high resolution DACs on all eight channels. The DVD-2200 has Burr-Brown 24-bit, 192-kHz DSD 1791 Audio DACs Would I benefit from using the 5.1 analog connections or sticking with the coax for DD & DTS movies?

I currently have a Denon 3802 running my Klipsch Reference III v2 Mains/Center/Surrounds for 5.1 and it's calibrated with AVIA. I have a pair of SVS 20-39 CS+'s running off of a Samson S1000. I use 13ga IXOS gamma speaker wire for the L/R/C speakers and those 3 are bi-wired, and AR Pro 14ga/4...

I currently have Klipsch Reference mains (RF3 v2, RC3 v2, RS3 v2) and a pair of SVS 20-39CS+'s. I was considering another RC3 v2 for a rear center. I just purchased the DVD-2200 and the DCM-380 CD Changer to compliment my Denon receiver. However since I am in the upgrade mood is it really a...

I've read a few threads where some forum members are saying that the Canare RCAP's are great for video but bad for analog audio. Could someone please shed some light on the subject. ;)

Is so does it do it at 720P?

I thought all RG6 could handle up to 2.2GHz? Is this a good deal on some 2.2GHz Quad Shield RG6 cable?? I want to run some high quality RG6 from the Satellite dish (3 LNB's) to my HDTV receiver. Is Belden a better brand to go with?

I want some good/decent quality wire for my Klipsch Ref. 3 v2's. LF is roughly 10 ft. from my receiver Center is 5 ft. RF is 3 ft Of course I will need to add a few feet for slack. I have done a search for "wire" and come across some interesting threads, but I thought I would ask for...

I want to be able to control the Panamax 5300 power on/off w/ my receiver. Do I simply need a 2 prong power -> 1/8" mini-jack cable? Does Rat Shack or another electronics house sell this type of cable?

Are you guys experiencing audio dropouts on 509 (HBO HD) & 543 (Showtime HD)?

I did a search and pulled up a few older threads discussing the possibility of the new 755v having the chroma bug. I just ordered one from Crutchfield so I will be able to see for myself soon enuff. Please post your experiences with the 755v.

I get bass comming from the Klipsch RF3-II mains, RC 3-II center, and what appears to be comming from the RS3-II surrounds during the AVIA subwoofer setup test. If you are familiar with AVIA sub setup test tones, during the first level tests, it will test a main, then the sub. Is it normal to...

I have checked all the connections for proper hookup, yet this has me stumped. The ticking occurs after each increment on the volume level. It is very faint but I can hear it. I have IXOS gamma speaker wire throughout. Any ideas?

For 2 months I have owned a Denon 3802. I have always left the Tone control (bass + treble) at 0. I just picked up a few DVDA discs and noticed they sounded a bit shallow. I raised the bass to +4 and the treble to +6 and it really brought some life into the sound. I tried the same tone levels...

I have limited space in my living room, and right now my SVS dual 20-39CS+'s are on the left side of the room and next to my Klipsch reference 3 II front speaker. They about 2 feet from my Hitachi 53" HDTV. The Klipsch are shielded, but could they still be too close? What would i notice the TV...

I have a Hitachi 53" 16:9 HDTV and the Klipsch RF3 II's. I currently have them 3.5ft from each side of the TV. Is this bad? Should they be toed in?

I have this elliptical dish (24x18) and (2) dual output LNB's (one for 101 & one for 119). The current multiswitch has LNB (2) A & (2) B inputs, plus 2 outputs. Each LNB has (2) coaxial cables and all (4) connect to the current multiswitch. All the replacement multiswitches I see have single...

I just had DirecTV installed and went with the oval dish w/ dual LNB's to get HDTV signals (101,119). I have the Hughes E86 receiver. When the installer got it hooked up, we could not get HD and standard programming at the same time. After and hour of troubleshooting he changed out the...

I want to make sure I have everything set correctly on my equipment. Now if I was watching a 1.85:1 it would take up the FULL 16:9 TV screen?

I am just starting the calibration routine w/ the radio shack SPL meter, and I am not sure why Avia says calibrate speakers to 85db on some tests, and 70 on sub warble. What gives? ** Could it mean that during the sub warble you lower the overall volume on the receiver to around 70db to listen...

I currently have component cables going from the dvd player to the tv, and the coaxial for audio going to the denon 3802. To get on screen menu to adjust speaker volumes, etc...for the denon while watching a dvd, do I connect a standard composite cable from the dvd to the denon? *** Damn I had...

I am having a heck of a time getting sound from my Hitachi 53UWX10B. I have my Motorola digital cable box audio and video composite cables going to the "tv/dbs" on the Denon 3802. I have the monitor out from the Denon going to the "input 1" connection on the Hitachi and I get a picture, but NO...

I am fixing to switch to Direct TV and the installer is saying stay away from the RCA units. He is recommending the Hughes E11 silver edition. He also says that he can get me any receiver out on the market. Anyone have suggestions on the best receiver out there? Hughes Network Systems...
