I've been thinking about the comments recieved and I thought I'd restate my original intention of posting. With my current settup I can only make vcds with a resolution of 352x240 bitrate up to ~1600. The time involved due to my slow pc doesn't make vcds a valid option to me. I'd like something...

I'm running a 475mhz. I've had it since '99 and I'm not sure if its worth upgrading the cpu, or if I'd be better off with a new one. I was hoping when I began I could capture at 480x480 res to make svcds, but it results in too many frame losses. Greg*Go: have you tried the header trick on...

I wanted to get some opinions of what others think about vcds and the like. My experiment I deem a failure. I bought a video capture card, a bigger hard drive, downloaded the software, camped out over at vcdhelp.com (dvdrhelp.com), and put my computer to work. My computer, a sub pentium...

My remote is acting up and I was wondering if anyone else had the same problem. Sometimes when you are doing something in the "reciever" mode, switching from v1 to v2 or just changing the volume, the entire set of modes will light up and the remote will not send the command you asked it to. It...

I live near the end of the line of my utility and if any thing happens upstream..... The power here fluctuates alot, we've hooked up a meter to an outlet and watched it dip to 110volts and back up again. I have a nice surge protector on my system, but I was wondering if that was enough for...

Can you tape a dish program on the vcr manually, without using the dish timer? Can you watch the dish on the tv on the tv's channel 3 when passing it thru the vcr? If you can then, I'm lost. I have my dish's s-video going to the tv and the rca video going to my vcr. So I wouldn't think it...

I've got her last 2 albums and saw her opening concert for the last tour. I saw her on either the today show or gma doing the way you move song. I was cracking up to hear her sing "lie on my back and moan at the ceiling" at 8:00 am morning tv. --Ryan

When dark side had its anniversary about 3 years ago, Alan Parsons was on or hosted, I can't remember, a radio show about the making of it and all. This wasn't am "in the studio with Redbeard" ; it was a one-shot special. Anyway, seems like toward the end of the broadcast Parsons said he was...

After giving up, I bought an optical input hooked it up and bamm, everything works. I am now able to enjoy the wonderful world of dts and dd. Unfortunately, I still don't know if the coax problem lies with the dvd player's output or the coax input on the reciever. Is there any way you could...

Thank you, Jeremy. I'll try what you suggest and see what happens. --Ryan

I put a post on the basics area and got but one response so i thought I 'd try here. I do not get any audio from my dvd player from the digital coax cable. No dts or dd. I have the reciever checked to coax1, multi off. and the audio is checked to the coax1 input. If I hook up the analog l...

Ok, I unhooked the left and right audio cables from the dvd player leaving only the video and digital coax hooked up. I selected the digital out of the dvd player on and the recievert to the coax 1. I got no sound at all on the reciever. I also swapped coax inputs on the reciever, swapped out...

I think I have the dts and digital set to be on on the player. I selected the coax input on the reciever. When I rotate thru the surround formats I get the dsp's and dplII. The reciever I guess, is saying its not recieving it for some reason. Should I unhook my line level left and right...

I was thrilled to get my Onkyo 595 Saturday, but tonight has been a problem. I cannot get it to play dd or dts from my dvd player. I previously owned a pro-logic reciever so this is all totally new to me. I have the connection made with a coax cable between the two and when playing a dvd, the...

I have the same problem, so what I did was to run the outs of the tape output on the receiver to the ins of my sub, which coincidentally has 2 (l and r) inputs. --Ryan

Like you I've got two sets of inputs on my toshiba tv; one is component for the dvd, the other is s-video or composite. I don't have a svhs vcr, so I still go composite audio and video out of the satelite to the ins of my vcr and from their out to the tv. I use the vcr to switch between...

I"ve actually got it narrowed down to last years model of the onkyo 595 or a denon 1801. Both are a significant upgrade for me and would save money over their newer counterparts. I'm going to go looking at a dealer who has some of both used in and I will definitely take in media of my own to...

Thanks. I'll remember to check on these things. I'm very excited about the possibilites of getting more for less!

What do you need to know about buying used equipment, recievers in particular? What should you ask and look at? And how does trading in work? Thanks, Ryan

Its official; the crackling noise was in the reciever. I put a stereo reciever in and everything came out crystal clear. I guess its off to the service center time. Thanks for all the advice!

No, it doesn't matter which input you use. My DVD player and CD changer come in on their own seperate inputs, so that rules out problems with them or their wires. I'm going to try the knobs out tonight; thank you, Bruce. I've also got another plain stereo reciever I might swap out to see if...

Thanks for the replies. The receiver is close to 10 years old, a Technics Sa-GX350 Pro-logic. It is the next piece in the system I'm looking to upgrade. I'm using bare wires to connect with. The reciever has the simple clip connectors. ONe other thing I failed to mention was that I also...

Hi, This is my first post and I wasn't sure if it should be here or somewhere else, but here is my question. I recently upgraded to the new Paradigm Cinema 90 speakers. I've been really happen with them. The problem I have, though, is some crackling--at low volume levels--on the right front...
