    VR509 Remote, battery low message won't go away.

    I have a VR-509 Reciever by Kenwood. My remote keeps flashing the low battery message. It used to light up so I could see it in the dark, but it doesn't do this anymore. I bought some new batteries last night, put them in, and nothing has changed. The low battery icon flashes and the...

    WEGA 16 x 9 squeeze question

    Chuck, if I adjust my Hsiz and Vsiz, I can make my cable look right, but my DVD will be too small. You see, no matter what I do, when I adjust the settings for 1 input it seems to also adjust the other. I'd like to know how I can adjust 1 input and not adjust the other. Dmitry, where can I...

    WEGA 16 x 9 squeeze question

    Chuck, I just realized, your thinking my picture is only too far down. What I'm saying is that my picture is too big to fit on the screen when I adjust it for oversqueeze. The top AND the bottom are cut off when I watch cable.

    My HT cabling layout... 1100x800 pic inside.

    What do you mean by the scrambled/unscrambled stuff in the diagram? I have a digital cable box, and I remember reading something about my VCR having the ability to unscramble cable TV when going through the VCR. Would I be able to get HBO and stuff for free if I ran my cable through my VCR?

    WEGA 16 x 9 squeeze question

    But, if I move the picture up vertically to make my DVD look better, it will move my cable picture up too. Does anyone understand what I'm saying?

    WEGA 16 x 9 squeeze question

    Ok, when I watch a DVD, according to your web site, my picture is oversqueezed. If I unsqueeze the picture, my DVD picture looks bigger, which is a good thing. However, after doing this, I turn off my DVD, and turn on the cable, which is hooked up to video 1. When I watch cable, the CNN...

    WEGA 16 x 9 squeeze question

    But chuck, if I adjust these settings for my DVD input, when I go to watch cable my screen will be off. I don't understand how I can have the picture look perfect on 1 input while having it look good on another.

    WEGA 16 x 9 squeeze question

    I recently built a home theater and have some questions about the 16 x 9 squeeze. When I go to watch Star Wars episode 1 on DVD, I set my WEGA to 16 x 9 mode. I have my DVD permanently on 16 x 9 mode. When I start the movie, I have a set of black bars at the top and bottom, and another after...

    My Kenwood VR 509 died after 30 days of use, HELP!

    OMG guys, thank you. I had it set to auto detect and it was digital. I flipped it to analog and I had my sound back. I can't believe I didn't try that before, I could have sworn I did. Man this is going to save me a lot of time, thank you so much.

    My Kenwood VR 509 died after 30 days of use, HELP!

    Where can I check that setting at? It was working the night before, and there were a lot of friends of mine playing playstation 2 on the frontal input jack. When I woke up the next morning, my video 2 had picture but no sound. (s video picture, component audio). I then ran the cable sound...

    Hey John, what the hell is wrong with you? The only one pissing is you, pissing and moaning that is. And why? Because my zip code search didn't give me the same results yours did? All I do is come in here and ask for help, and I get this jackmaster flaming me because I tell him I get...

    My Kenwood VR 509 died after 30 days of use, HELP!

    So, can anyone give me some opinions as to which reciever is better? I've already gotten an RMA number from etronics, so I believe I'm obligated to send the reciever in within 7 days.

    My Kenwood VR 509 died after 30 days of use, HELP!

    I contacted etronics, they gave me a RMA number. I think I'm gonna get screwed on shipping/restocking charges, but at least I can return it. As I mentioned before, I am thinking of getting the Onkyo over the VR 509. Does this sound like a good thing? I know one thing for sure, the remote...

    My Kenwood VR 509 died after 30 days of use, HELP!

    I bought it from etronics. Is there anything I can do? This sucks so bad, 350 down the drain. The reciever still works but the audio 2 and 3 inputs do not work at all. I even had my cable plugged into video 3 and got to listen to it die. WHAT CAN I DO? Will etronics take this back? Has...

    N24 Stand/Mount help desperately needed.

    If anyone is wondering... The Omnimount 53RWX-UMK mounting kit fits EXACTLY into the screw thread on the bottom of the JBL N24 Speakers. Took me forever to get those mounts, but they are perfect for the N24's. They allow you to mount the speakers on a back wall while pointing them directly...

    N24 Stand/Mount help desperately needed.

    I have the JBL N24 Speakers. I've having a nightmare of a time trying to find the speaker stands and mounts that I want. I'm looking for a pair of mounts that will allow me to mount 2 of these on the wall directly behind my couch. The only problem is, I want to have the speakers pointing...

    I don't understand

    I don't understand how the wire is supposed to hook up to my speakers. I have purchased acoustic research skeaper wire, 16 gague. I bought a package with 2 15' wires with plugs already on them. I also bought 2 50' packages of 16 gague wire that has clips that can be attached. I have 4 N24's...

    Speaker placement help needed, as well as speaker stands.

    I don't have side walls on my right side, which is why I have to mount them behind me. I just got back from Sound Advice (complete jerkoffs work there btw, don't ever shop there). I purchased the Omnimount 25RWX speaker mounts as seen here. RWX From side wall to bottom This shows that the...

    Speaker placement help needed, as well as speaker stands.

    Welp, I'm going to run to sound advice and buy the Omnimount 25RWX speaker mounts I guess. This is by far the most disappointing post I've put on this forum.

    Speaker placement help needed, as well as speaker stands.

    Can someone please tell me if the omnimount speaker brackets I posted above will allow 2 speakers on a back wall to face each other, perpendicular to the wall? Hasn't anyone done this before? Am I the only person on the HT forum that is mounting speakers on a back wall but wants to point them...
