Update: Very strange. Only channel 2 (CBS) is affected. All of the other channels are stereo. I guess that means the problem isn't at my end.

I came home this evening to a surround sound missing sound from the front left, rear left, and sub. They are silent. I ran the test tone on the receiver and all five sound fine. Even more strange, I played a CD, and all five sound fine. So, it seems I am missing the left channels when...

Great resource. Hmmm... when new only $146/pair. 50W max. They are barely worth the $29 repair kit (but I am so cheap, I will do it anyway). Thanks!

Thanks for the tip. I didn't even know you could do that! My speakers are about 4", so I think I will buy the kit ($29) and do it myself (the mail-in company wants $22 - but shipping will eat up another $10). Thanks for the help!

My dad gave me a pair of old Infinity RS1000's. I want to put new speakers in them since the original cones have completely rotted out (the foam surrounds are gone). The tweeters look OK, so I am just going to replace the one rotted speaker on each. How do I find out what the crossover is set...

That makes sense. It sounds like when I do get a HDTV decoder for the TV (down the road), I should look for one with the "H&V" outputs because my TV can support it. I appreciate the answer.

I'm hooking up my XBox to my Mitsubishi WT-46809 (HDTV-ready 16:9). I bought the XBox HDTV adapter and am running component video from the XBox into the TV. On the back of the TV, I have "Component Inputs" with "YPrPb". They are marked 480i/480p. I also have inputs for "DTV" with...

I've had my 3801 for about two months. It sits open on all sides while I wait for my cabinet to be built. It runs perfectly cool, even after many hours of TV, or a couple hours of a loud DVD. This leads me to believe that you are preventing the air from circulating through the vents. The...

I just purchased a 16:9 Mitsubishi HDTV-ready set and have experienced the same thing. Bottom line, get used to it. I've rented several DVD's, and some are full screen (16:9), and some have black bars. Until everyone uses the exact same format (unlikely) we have to put up with it. The one...

Doug, Just knowing my RP56 has the "Faroudja/Sage DCDi progressive scan chip" makes me want to hang on to it. I wonder if Panasonic is replacing the unit with another without the chip to save money? Thanks for the info. - Mike

This is strange, just like Bill reported above, my RP56 has decided to "calm down" too. I watched "Das Boot" and the unit didn't vibrate at all...so I threw some other DVD's in (yes, after taking out Das Boot) and they didn't vibrate either. Funny, maybe there is a break-in period. All...

The unit is new (last week). It operates perfectly, but makes a low-pitch hum while running (you can hear it across the room). On closer inspection, I found the unit is vibrating (as if the CD/DVD is out of balance). This happens with every CD/DVD that I try, so the shaft/motor must be loose...

Wow! Scary. When the "experts" came to deliver and do their complimentary "in-home set-up" of my HDTV, they set the CONTRAST to full! They also had the SATURATION cranked to nearly full. I quickly turned both down that evening when the screen was hurting my eyes. Which is better for me...

Thanks for the replies. About the "burn-in" issues with the screens... Is this only something that happens with rear-projection TV's, or is this something I had to worry about (and didn't) on my previous 35" Sony Trinitron TV (tube)? I have "contrast", "brightness", and "tint" controls...

I just purchased a 46" Mitsubishi WT-46809 HDTV-ready 16:9 television. I also picked up a new Panasonic DVD-RP56 Progressive Scan DVD player. My question: When I watch movies, I was under the assumption (incorrectly?) that the 16:9 format would allow me to watch "letterbox" movies without...

Another update... I hooked-up the speakers to the "multi" output, and still nothing. I read the manual cover to cover and then the light came on... I had the volume on the "multi" to OFF. Doh! Fixed that. Works as advertised. Pretty cool feature of the 3802! Thanks guys. - Mike

Luke and Chris, Thanks a ton. I'll work on it in the morning. I am brand-new to this Home Theater stuff, and I am still amazed/confused by it all. My new equipment, compared to the stuff it replaces, is light-years more advanced. Thanks again.

Assuming I do that, is there any way to just get sound out of the Dining Room, or do I also have to listen to music in the Family Room? I was told, when I bought the unit, that I could have radio in one room, and surround in another - all from the Denon 3802. Was I duped?

First time posting...looking forward to becoming a regular. My question: I've got a brand-new Denon 3802 with five speakers in the family room. I also have two speakers in the living room. With the 7-channel Denon, I am attempting to have surround sound in the family room, and stereo in...
