The fix here my be quite simple, but I'm stumped. I have this very nice Onkyo TX-NR717, which I really like. However, it seems like the dialog does not come through as clearly as it did with my old Integra DTR 5.2. Even with the volume turned up quite high, it is difficult to hear all the dialog...

Is there any way to view the serial number for my Onkyo TX-NR717 onscreen? I'm sure there's not, but figured I'd ask just in case. I'm just trying to avoid having to pull my unit out to find it on the back. I know--I should have written it down before I installed it, but was too excited to get...

I did the 2EQ speaker calibration tonight and it all sounds great. I have a question, though, about all the different audio formats the TX-NR717 can do. With my old receiver, if a DVD allowed the choice of Dolby or DTS, the receiver would automatically change according to what I selected. It...

I have everything hooked up to my new 717 receiver via HDMI. Sound and video come through from my blu-ray player and my DVR. However, how can I make the sound from my TV play through the receiver? I have a Samsung PN59D7000FF plasma Smart TV. It has YouTube, etc. If I want to watch a YouTube...

Just got my refurb 717 today through Accessories 4 Less. I've hooked up all my speakers (5.1 system), my DirecTV DVR and my Samsung BD-D5500 blu-ray player. I'm using all HDMI connections. I've got sound and picture coming through for my DVR but sound only from the blu-ray player. I get an...

Who has done business with Accessories4Less? I am strongly leaning toward picking up my receiver from them along with an extended warranty. I believe Onkyo's usual warranty for a new receiver is a limited 2 year warranty, whereas the factory refurbs at A4L is only 1 year. I could pick up the...

I see that in April, Onkyo will be releasing the TX-NR525 and the TX-NR626, followed some time later (May?) by the TX-NR727. I have seen the specs on their site, but does anyone have any other information about them? Can we look forward to some downward price pressure on the 616 and 717? Given...

Does anyone know if this triple feature blu ray version has the remastered Gladiator? I think this is a great deal and am not really interested in extras for these movies. Thanks! Bruce

I am planning to upgrade my HT receiver as I discuss in this thread. (Bottom line--maybe Onkyo TX-NR717 or Denon 2x13ci.) My current receiver is 11-12 years old, as are my speakers. My TV and blu-ray player were purchased in Dec 2011. All my speakers are Paradigm--front and rear Mini Monitors...

Doing some further research on receivers, I believe I have narrowed it down to either the Onkyo TX-NR717 or the Denon AVR-2113ci. I've found some good deals on the latter to make it price competitive with the Onkyo. A similar thread asked about these two back in December, and the suggestions...

I have a Samsung BD-D5500 blu-ray player. On some movies, I experience issues with the sync of the audio and video. The audio trails the video just a little. Sometimes, if I shut down the player and restart the movie where I left off, the sync issue disappears. My TV is a Samsung PN59D7000FF...

I am interested in upgrading the receiver for my home theater setup. In December 2011, I purchased: TV: Samsung PN59D7000FF (59" class plasma) Blu-Ray: Samsung BD-D5500 (3D capable) Since then I've added Apple TV. I use this mostly for Netflix and doing AirPlay from my iPad. I've also had my...

I hae a 9-year old Mitsubishi 55819. Something is wrong with the red color on my TV. It "droops" on the left side of the screen. When I go to the advanced setup screen showing the 64 individual alignment points (the horizontal and vertical white line intersections). The red color droops down...

I need to shop for an older model Blu Ray player that can play Blu Ray discs at 1080i through a component connection. I have a Mits 55819 TV whose only high def connection is component. I can watch HD TV from Direct TV just fine. However, the new Blu Ray player I purchased will not display 1080i...

I have found information on upgrading the firmware for my RP-91 and how to make it region free, but will it be able to play PAL DVDs? I'm interested in getting the Laurel & Hardy 21-disc set from Amazon UK, but want to make sure I can watch them on my home system. My TV is a Mits 55819 RPTV...

I have the following equipment: Mits 55819 TV Integra DTR 5.1 receiver Panasonic RP-91 DVD player My TV has no DVI or HDMI input, only DTV (5 RCA type jacks) that is capable of 480i/480p/1080i input. I understand that Hi-Def DVD players cannot upconvert to DTV inputs. However, is...

OK, we all know Blu-Ray won. I'm now kind of interested in picking up an inexpensive HD-DVD player just to make my regular DVDs look better. When Blu-Ray is less expensive, I'll get a Blu-Ray player and very selectively upgrade some of my DVDs to Blu-Ray. Here is my question, though. My...

:frowning: My son just got an Xbox 360 and we want to hook it up to get the high definition output. My TV is a Mitsubishi 55819. He has the cable with the HD switch. We hooked it up to the DTV input on my TV, but we can't get 1080i output to the screen. My Samsung OTA receiver works just...

How do folks here view the quality of the JVC 5000 series of S-VHS machines? I'm especially interested in the 5902. How does it stack up against the HR S7600U from several years ago? I know the 5902 does not have TBC (Time Based Correction?). I don't know if the 7600 had that. I'm pretty sure...

Has anyone else experienced audio/video dropouts on these discs? Here is the collection I'm talking about: http://www.deepdiscountdvd.com/dvd.cfm?itemID=MCA024902 I just received it over the weekend and watched the first movie "Road to Singapore" with my two youngest boys. During the first...

I've done some reading (mostly on this site) on the various Laurel and Hardy sets available in the UK, Germany, and The Netherlands. Is there a consensus on which is THE set to get? Will any of them play on my Panasonic RP91? Is there any news of a US set of similar quality? What is the...

I just picked up a Samsung SIR-T150 for my Mits 55819 this weekend. After a few tries, got an antenna that seems to work just fine (Silver Sensor). HDTV looks wonderful!! I wanted to dip my toes in the HDTV waters for as little $$$ as possible. The SIR-T150 was an open box special with no...

I have a Mits 55819 and just bought a Samsung SIR-T150 (open box at BB). This is my first HD experience. From what I've seen--I love it! Here are my questions: 1) Receiver--The Samsung has a menu that lets you tell it you have a 16:9 TV. Just below that, it asks how you want your 4:3 stuff...

What do folks in this forum recommend for an inexpensive OTA HD receiver I can hook up to my Mits 55819? What features do I really need for an OTA HD receiver? How good is the Samsung SIR-T151? They can be had on Ebay for less than $250, sometimes even less than $200. I won't be getting...

I have misplaced or lost my remote control for my Mitsubishi 55819 TV. Can someone post the model number on the remote control for their Mits 55819 or 55809 here? I am searching for a replacement remote and knowing the model number on the remote itself would be useful. Mitsubishi wants $60.90...

I recently picked up the wonderful 2-disc special edition of "Singin' in the Rain". While watching it, I noticed there are some missing frames on one of the dance sequences. I wonder what the story is behind these missing frames. The missing frames occur in the first dance sequence with Gene...

I am torn as to which S-VHS machine to get out of these 4: HR-S7800U HR-S7900U HR-S9800U HR-S9800U I've found good deals on factory refurbished models on all 4 of these. The 7800 and 7900 are about $200 + shipping and the 9800 and 9900 are about $300 + shipping. All still come with...

My VCR is going belly up and I need a new one. We don't watch a lot of tapes, mostly stuff from the local library (many of which have all sorts of intermittent picture problems). All my equipment is pretty nice--Mits 55819, Panny RP91, Paradigm speakers, Integra 5.1 receiver. I don't have an...

Does anyone know if all 3 seasons of the 1960s Batman TV show with Adam West and Burt Ward will ever be released on DVD? Bruce

I have a 6-month old Mitsubishi 55819. I love this set along with my Panasonic RP-91 DVD player. Lately, though, I've begun to notice what I can only describe as pixellation in the picture while watching movies on the DVD player. It seems to be more prevalent in the center of the screen. This is...
