OK, how 'bout 300 - I pay shipping.

FOR SALE: Onkyo A/V receiver, model TX-DS676. This unit is in Like New condition. I have all original boxes, manuals, remote. This receiver works flawlessly and has all the bells and whistles that you need to decode the fantastic sound of todays DVD technology. This unit has too many features to...

I realize that it takes volume of sales to give dealers the ability to sell for less. Like I said before it's the disparity of the prices that bothers me. Because of a local dealer's lower volume his price should be 10's of dollars more - not 100's of dollars more! If there is that big a...

I think that many people (myself included) when they are considering a purchase of a piece of equipment will consider 2 questions: 1) Which one do I want (brand, model, etc.)? 2) Where should I buy it once I have decided? These two questions are quite independent in my mind. It's very...

Junie, Sure you can use that old receiver for a good purpose. I had an old rec. laying around too, so I decided to use it to power a set of Aura Pro Bass Shakers. I don't know if your primary use of you system is mainly music or HT, but let me say that a set of bass shakers wired to the frame...

I have RT2000i's and I love them... I think that they beat the Infinity speakers hands down. Many people prefer not to use a powered tower, but I keep the gain set relatively low so that matches my usual listening volume, and use an additional sub for LFE. My 2000's sound warm and tight, and the...

bump. please help.

Hello All, I have 2 questions for those of you who are knowledgeable in separates... 1) I have an Onkyo 676 receiver, and I'd like to add a separate amp for the mains. The manual for the unit says that separate amps can be added, but the only example given is that 4 amps are added (mains...

Keep in mind when shopping for a receiver. One must double the wattage to effect a 3db increase in sound output at a given volume. So there really honestly isn't a lot of difference between closely rated receivers. 3db is audible, but it certainly doesn't double the sound. It is important to...

A good point... I am using the sub pre-out via RCA cable to the sub in on the speakers. Front L and R to the speakers via 16 gauge monster cable. Gold binding clips are off of the speakers. Thomas_A, do you experience any volume at which the subs don't power on, or do they come on pretty...

Hello All, Don't know if anyone out there might have my same (or very similar) setup and could tell me if they notice something similar. I have an Onkyo 676 receiver, and my speakers are Polk Audio rt2000i mains, Polk cs245 center, and Polk 5jr surrounds. I listen to quite a bit of music on...

Thanks Hugh, This was exactly the type of reply that I was looking for. I can indeed use my receiver (Onkyo 676) to do the switching between sources for video! :D Are you currently or have you ever used the vid. card that you spoke of? I assume since you offer it as a suggestion you know...

Ok, just when I think I might be getting the hang of this...:frowning: Here's my concern. I plan to go to a HT setup using an NEC 110LC pj. I have read that I will need to use a scaler or HTPC of some sort to optimize the output of this projector. Fine. However, I already have an HT setup...

I have recently acquired an NEC XG-110LC projector, and I've read that this can really be a nice unit. Unfortunately, the unit did not have either of the two remotes with it, and according to the experts, you can do precious little without them. So, does anyone out there have an extra setup...

Guy, That sounds great :) So, is the setup remote something that I am going to need on a regular basis, or is it something that the pro will use, and I won't really need to worry with?? If I need one, (and I'm assuming that I do) then where do you suggest I go to find one, and what's the...

Guy, Thanks for your propmt reply. I am excited, and ready to 'jump right in' as you put it. I beleive that the friend who got me the projector might be of assistance in setting up the unit, or directing me to a pro. if he is unable to do it... like I said that's his job, so I would guess...

Hello All, I am new to this forum, and have been very impressed thus far with the genuine help that the pros here have been willing to give to us newbies. Here is my situation. I am finishing a room in my basement for a HT room / wet bar (20'x20' room). I have a friend (who shall remain...
