    Rear speaker placement in ceiling. Worth it or not?

    I am not lucky enough to have a room in my house that is perfect for home theater (yet) so I have setup my home theater in my family room and currently run a Klipsch Quintet 5.1 speaker setup powered by a Denon 3802 receiver. The family room is open directly to the kitchen so there is no back...

    Denon 3802 remote not working with backlight on??

    I have had my 3802 receiver for a few months now and have taken the time to program it (learn) other remotes. It works well (still saving for a Pronto or MX500), but I just noticed that when I turn the backlight function on I am not able to control any other components (DVD, TV, etc). Is this a...

    I have searched all forums, but need major Overscan help. Still somewhat new to HT..

    I have been tweaking the service menu for the past few weeks to try and help with the 16x9 image on my 4x3 Sony KV-32FV27 TV. I can adjust the HSIZ and the VSIZ which makes the image while watching movies bigger, but then I flip back to watch TV and I have to re-adjust the sizes. I have set the...

    Greg, are you in Atlanta now?

    If you are or will be soon do you have room for another calibration?

    Outdoor speaker wire

    I am looking to install outdoor speakers and it will be easier for me to run the speaker wire out the side of the house and around to the back. Is any speaker wire considered weather proof?

    Sony Wega KV-36FV27, anyone have one?

    The headphones are real nice, but don't have a long range. I would guestimate about 12 feet and then you begin to lose signal.

    Sony Wega KV-36FV27, anyone have one?

    I just bought the KV-32FV27 and when comparing that to the FS this is what I found as the difference. 1. 3D Digital Comb Filter compared to a 3 line Digital Comb Filter 2. Better speakers 15w x 2 vs 10w x 2 3. Wireless headphones 4. Smart Sound That's all I can remember

    Faint horizontal lines when screen is black - Please help!!

    I tried to search for this, but could not find anything. I am actually doing some research for a neighbor of mine who has a 27" Sony Flat screen. Not sure of the exact model, but it is probably 4 years old and still has a great picture. Here is the issue... When watching TV and the picture...

    Brand New Denon 3802 - Never opened

    I bought one and through a mix up I ended up with 2. The extra unit that is for sale is still factory sealed. Asking $700, but I might be able to bend a little. I am also very interested in a Pronto TSU2000 so I am willing to bargin as part of the deal.

    Second thoughts: is a 3802 too much for me?

    I originally had the 2802, but upgraded to the 3802 after 2 weeks. The main reason for my upgrade is I can run 5.1 for movies and use the 6th and 7th channel for my outdoor speakers without having to add an amp. I have an extra 3802 never opened if you are in the market.

    Best way to utilize extra Denon 3802

    I wanted a Denon 3802 and and for some reason, I won't go into detail, it turns out that I ended up with 2 of them. I have 1 set up in my family room, but the other is still in the box never opened. Is it worth holding onto or should I try and sell it?

    LFE Connection with my Denon 3802 - Newbie

    The back of my 3802 only has the one Red Subwoofer output which I am plugging the cable into, but on the Sub itself I have a matching Red input and a White LFE input. Which one should I use?

    Don't understand PIP.

    I've searched what I could, but am I to understand that the only way to get PIP with DiretTV is to use 2 receivers? I have a Phillips DSR6000 which has 2 Inputs, but is that only for Tivo so I can watch 1 show and record another?

    Best position for surround speakers

    I too am setting up my new Home Theater, but I have 2 additional questions. 1. Are the surround speakers the same as the rear? And if they are, my second question is this. A few of you have mentioned that you point them directly at each other. Doesn't this method cause poor sound when the...

    Issues with Denon receivers going up in flames ???

    I was at a local shop the other day looking at new receivers and they were pushing the Sony DB or ES line. I had asked them about Denon because I have an old Denon Pro-Logic that I like and this guy claims that they used to carry Denon until they began experiencing receivers overheating and...

    Need help - Denon AVR-2802 vs Sony STR-DA3ES

    Looking to finally make the move from Pro Logic to DD and don't have the $$ to spend on super high end receivers. Based on receivers priced around $800 I have narrowed it down to the Denon and Sony. Does anyone have any insight on either. Please help the new kid.
