One last question. Would this work: The 291-KIT is a prepackaged infrared repeater system. It includes a 291-00 IR Receiver, a 789-44 Connecting Block, a 781C-00 Power Supply and four 283M Blink-IR™ Mouse ... thanks for all your help.

Thanks but could you please be more specific as I am not sure what parts to buy.

The receiver in my HT is situated behind a wood door and can not be moved. It is a VR509 from Kenwood. I just bought the MX500 remote and do not know what to get so the 500 can control it while the door is closed. The back of the receiver has a jack for an IR Repeater. I bought a Xantech 286M...

Anyone using this combo out there? If so can you provide any setup tips? I have the 509 and just ordered the MX-500. thanks

I have been using my HTB 504 for awhile now and have two questions: 1) Mine came with the VR509 receiver which says it has component video switching. What is this? How would I use this feature? 2) I just ordered the MX-500 remote. Is there anyway to display a menu on my TV of changes that I...

Thanks for the advice. It still may have been user error on my part. This is my first system. One last question. It seems the volume is much lower when I listen to the TV than when I listen to a DVD. Is this normal? I can turn the volume up and it is more than loud enough but if I suddenly...

I am suddenly getting sound out of the center speaker while my son is watching the spanish soccer channel. I have a Proscan 32" TV. The reciever says it is on Pro Logic. I do not think I changed anything but I must have??

Yes. It is working if I play a DVD.

Yes I tried setting the reciever to one of the DSP modes and it did not help. Yes I have left and right audio going out from my TV and into the kenwood. Any othe ideas?

I have everything setup on my new(and 1st) system and I am not getting anything out of my center speaker. I can hear a hiss so it is getting power. I used both my 14 gauge speaker wire as well as the wire that shipped with the unit. Do I need to do anything special to get it to work? I am only...

Chriss, thanks for your help. One last question: Why do I need both Composite and S Video going from the 509 to the TV? I would think you would use one or the other? Please explain to a novice. thanks

Thanks! So if I run everything through the 509 is this my setup: Toslink from dvd to 509 Composite from dvd to 509 Svideo out from 509 to tv?? Do I run my vcr to the 509 or to the tv? Also if I want to watch a tv show with just the tv speakers can I do that without turning on the 509...

Hi I just bought a Kenwood HTB 504. The vendor upgraded my receiver to the VR509. I also bought a Panasonic DVD CV51 changer. What are my options for connecting everything together? here is what I now have: Proscan 32" TV - no component jacks - only S Video VCR VR509 Panny CV51...

Thanks Chriss, I knoq 0 about this and it is very confusing. A coworker of mine suggested the following hookup: TOSlink from dvd to 509 SVideo out of DVD to TV composite from DVD to TV composite from VCR to tv composite out from TV to 509 Will this work? Is it better /worse...

I was just about to purchase my first system and decided on the HTB504. I was checking prices and when I checked at MJShow they are offering the same HTB504 package with an upgrade to the VR509 at now cost. The cost is $399. What is the diff. between the 507 and 509? Is this a good deal? Should...

Can you start a HT with just the front 3 speakers (no sub or rears)? If so do you have to select a certain type of playback on your receiver?

Yes that makes sense. My confusion is that I know in a typical HT setup there are 6 speakers: 2 rear, 2 front, center and sub. I am looking for the 2 front and a center. If I only have this will I not hear certain parts of a DVD because I do not have a sub or rear speakers? Also can you...

I have a simple newbie question. I do not have the space to add a sub or rear speakers to a new HT at this time. If I were to add 3 speakers at this time to be placed in the front of my room near the TV/reciever do I get a center channel speaker and 2 surround speakers? Do the surrounds have to...

Hi Ted, I just threw that out there about using the advents. They are real old and probably should be retired. Yes 5 or speakers in the living is a problem (not for me!). My living room has a seating area in the middle of the room. In front of it is an entertainment center with TV. I currently...

Yea I can afford about $150 for speakers. Can you recommend any small speakers? I have a question on using the Advent speakers. I am assuming I can purchase a 3 speker surround speaker package. These would plug into the center, front left and right on the receiver. Where do the Advents plug...

I am interest in setting up my first home theater system. At first I was going to get the HTB504. My spouse and I had a difference of opinion about placing 6 speakers in our living room. I currently have 2 ancient Advent speakers. I now plan to buy just the receiver - VR507. My question is can I...

HI I am new to both this site and to Home Theater. I would like some advice on a first time purchase. The system will be for my family room which is not real large so I do not need a booming setup. It will mostly be for DVD but will also play music on it. I have a Proscan 32"TV and want to spend...
