hello everyone, i am rather new and have a quick question. i am planning on upgrading my cables, primarily component video, sub cable, and dig. coax. at first i was planning on using all monster but after doing a lot of research i have decided this would not be my preference. i am now looking...

hmmm thanks for all the posts guys. the reason i ask this is when you go to a lot of websites (i.e crutchfield) in the specs dept. it will tell about it and where it says CDR, CDRW it says "no". maybe this means it wont burn them, not play them. of course to us this is common sense, but maybe it...

i have been shoping around for a new CD player but most of them i lke (exp. denon 370) doesnt play CD-R's. any idea why? this is true correct? i would really like on that will play these. thanks guys.

hey all, just a couple of quick questions from a noobie. i live in an apartment and have an entry-mid level HT. i am in need of new surge protectors and i was wondering if the monsters that have a built in filter make any diff. at all. anyone notice? also if there is is there a big difference...

hello all, i am looking into getting a new cd changer and have shopped around and i think this is what i want but not sure...any ideas and comments are appreciated. i am considering getting the onkyo DX-C380, the HK FL8380, or the dennon DCM 370. any other suggestions? also what about instead...

after shopping around, i have decided for sure against the sony, but wanted to see someones opinion about a few models. i would post this in hardware but didnt see anything really for cd players....anyways, what about the HK FL8380, the dennon DCM370 or the onkyo DX-C380? anyone own these? do...

hello all, i am going to purchase my first multi CD player as the DVD player is waaaaay to slow at reading cds. i am leaning towards the sony 50+1 model (?) CX53? or maybe the onkyo 5 disc. i want to stay under $250 and would like to stay under $200 if possible. and must have at least a 5 disc...

this post is getting quite in depth for the newbie section. perhaps it should be moved? when i was talking about bridgin an amp in car audio that was for a 2 channel amp. what i am trying to do is the oppisite. go from one channel to 2 speakers. i guess you would call that being in a series. i...

i already have a set of rear surrounds hooked up. this was something i was doing in the front. thanks for the suggestion though, i just didnt clarify myself.

philip, thank you VERY much for your reply. this is the quality avice us noobies are so thankful for when we do syupid things like this. in a matter of minutes i will go disconnect the phillips speakers and put them away for good. i understand that speaker placemnet is critical and will try to...

hate to dig up an older post like this, but im a noobie and was searching for an answer to one of my questions which was hooking up 2 sets of speakers to 2 reciever outputs, only mine was for fronts, not surrounds, and came acrross this post. my exact question, but no for sure answer. can...

sorry to be a bother but just wanted to update this post and ask about a trick i used to use in car audio when you "bridge" an amp by running two speakers off one amp channel or vice versa. basically you take the positve amp wire and wire that to speaker one positive and then take the negative...

i apologize if my questions are a bit on the newbie side as i am new to the form, but the question is: i have a basic newbie HT and the wiring im using is 14 ga. monster XP. is this a decent wire for my applications? also my receiver has binding posts but my speakers have spring clips. should i...

first i would like to ask the question everyone is tired of answering from what ive seen on the posts, but i cant seem to figure it out. when you watch a wide screen movie on dvd i belive if you hit pan and scan it will sometimes change the format to pit a normal tv, but cut the sides off...

i guess thats really what i was getting at. i wanted a broader richer soundstage and thought that by doing this and spreading the speaker acorss the fron of the room there would be more sound from more places in front making it sound better. see what im saying?basically my thing was more...

i know im new too, but sony has a package of three speakers the center and 2 small bookshelfs for about $150....they might not be the greatest speaker ever built but for the price i think they sound great!

imsorry, let me clarify what i am doing. my reciever is 5.1 dolby digital and what i did was for the front left channel i have the original philips sattelite as well as a sony tower hooked up to the same front left output. the same also goes for the front right channel. the towers are located in...

okay, that answers the question about the center channel. on my reciver you can adjust each ind. speaker volume, so if the center didnt sound right couldnt i just turn it up? i will go ahead and get the sony tho. also can anyone help me with my other question? is it okay to have those 2 small...
