    Can flipping a shadow mask tube cause damage?

    Just to be clear, I don't have an RPTV. It's a direct view (JVC AV-36P903), if that changes the answer at all. Bryan

    Can flipping a shadow mask tube cause damage?

    I just found this thread, in which a guy claims that rotating a shadow mask tube 90 or 180 degrees can cause serious damage. Anyone know if there's any truth to this? I just had my TV delivered and they flipped it 90 degrees to take it out of the box. I haven't used it yet, as I have to take...

    has anyone heard the Yamaha 3200?

    I noticed on the Yamaha page that they list the 3200 having DTS 96/24/ DTS-ES Discrete 6.1, but the 220 does not. On one of their product comparison charts, however, the 2200 is listed as having DTS-ES Discrete 6.1 (no mention of 96/24). Anyone know the full story here? B

    Did I ruin my speakers?

    Just found this thread and was wondering, could this type of thing cause any damage to a sub? I accidentally cranked my Yamaha RX-V2200 (to about -5db volume) the other day for a split second and just want to be sure that everything is ok while my speakers and sub are still under warranty...

    Banana clips

    I just got some of these plugs and am a little confused on installation. Are you saying that the wire should actually go over the part that the top screws onto? Or the flat part just above it? If I put the wire over where the top actually screws on, how would I screw the top back on? Maybe...

    Strange sounds coming from tweeters

    Interesting. I seem to get it on pretty much all my DirecTV channels when watching in DPL/II. Would that imply that none of these channels are DPL encoded? Bryan

    Strange sounds coming from tweeters

    If I stand within a couple feet of my main B&W 601 or rear B&W 602 speakers, the sound coming from the tweeters has a very "wavy" quality to it. It's similar to the sound you get from an analog tape when it starts to get warped. I happened to recently get a Yamaha RX-V2200 to replace my...

    Strange interference on Yamaha RX-V2200

    I have a DirecTV w/ Tivo hooked up to my Yamaha RX-V2200 via the optical and analog cables. If I flip the Yamaha to certain (not all) other inputs which are not on or do not exist and turn the volume way up, I can hear the audio from DirecTV. Any idea why this is happening? Thanks, Bryan

    Can I use banana plugs on B&W 600's?

    I'd like to use banana plugs on my B&W 602/601/CC6 speakers. I've noticed that the little plastic red/black pieces in the middle of the binding posts are removable. Is the purpose of this to remove and use bananas there? Thanks, Bryan

    Any surge protectors with power cord longer than 8'?

    For those interested, I've found a couple of Tripp-Lite and Belkin surge protectors with 10 and 12 foot power cords. For now, I'm leaning towards a Tripp-Lite Isobar 8 Ultra, for the 12' cord. I'd like to get one, however, that also has coaxial protection. Again, any suggestions...

    Any surge protectors with power cord longer than 8'?

    Does anyone know of a surge protector that has a power cord longer than 8 feet? My equipment is about 9.5 feet from the nearest outlet. Thanks, Bryan

    Yamaha 2200 vs. Denon 3802 for B&W 600's

    Thanks to the Extended Service Plan from Good Guys, I am now able to replace a faulty Yamaha RX-V2095 with either a Yamaha 2200 or Denon 3802. I currently have the 2200 at home, but I wanted to get some opinions on using either of these receivers with B&W 602's/601's/CC-6 and MK MX-125MKII...

    Thoughts on Audio: Digital Coax or Optical?

    Is there any sort of CRC done on digital audio signals? I would think any sort of error introduced to the signal on the wire would result in a VERY noticeable problem (dropout etc.). Is this not true? I would think like a modem etc., the resulting digital data has to be perfect for any of it...

    Cable advice for B&W 600 series using Yamaha RX-V2200

    How would either the Belden 83030 or Sound King 12ga stuff compare with my existing stuff? I have Audioquest Type 2 running to the rears and the F-18 flat cables running to the front. The F-18 is the one that broke, but I could just replace the one broken cable I suppose. Just want to make...

    Cable advice for B&W 600 series using Yamaha RX-V2200

    I had read through some other posts similar to mine and it seemed that based on the equipment used, people would recommend specific cables. Maybe I missed the point of this forum? B

    Cable advice for B&W 600 series using Yamaha RX-V2200

    It was a flat/bendable Audioquest cable. Seems like it got bent one too many times. I think I want to move away from the flat cable anyway. Thanks, Bryan

    Cable advice for B&W 600 series using Yamaha RX-V2200

    One of my cables just died, so I'm looking at rewiring my speakers. Also just got a new receiver. I'd appreciate any advice for this combination: 2 B&W 602's (mains) 2 B&W 601's (rears) 1 B&W CC-6 (center) Yamaha RX-V2200 (receiver) I'll probably need a total of ~ 50'. I'd like to...

    Actually, the problem is that it seems particularly quiet. Thanks, Bryan

    Volume of NBC in LA on DirecTV?

    Has anyone else noticed that the volume on the NBC feed in LA is quite a bit lower than other channels? I happened to just get a new A/V receiver too, so I'm wondering if the problem is in the feed or receiver. Thanks, Bryan

    Configuring Yamaha RX-V2200 and B&W DM600 series

    Yeah it's the gold sticker. Also, there are 2 staples, but there are also 2 holes where it looks like 2 staples were before. In other words, if I pull out the 2 staples, there are 4 holes where staples were. Another thing I noticed was that the tape on the box was cut on the sides of the...

    Configuring Yamaha RX-V2200 and B&W DM600 series

    Has anyone else bought a Yamaha receiver recently at Good Guys (or anywhere else)? Mine has a little sticker on the outside saying that the receiver has passed Yamaha factory specifications or something along those lines. The box is also has 2 sets of staple holes, but only 1 set of staples...

    Configuring Yamaha RX-V2200 and B&W DM600 series

    I'd like to think my sub is good enough to handle all the bass. It's an M&K MX-125 MKII. I can't really play stuff very loud -- ya know, neighbors and such. Thanks again, Bryan

    Configuring Yamaha RX-V2200 and B&W DM600 series

    Hey all, I was hoping to get some help configuring a Yamaha RX-V2200 receiver using B&W DM602's as mains, CC-6 as center and DM601's as rears. I also have an M&K subwoofer. Would you set the front/rears/center as small or large? And should I set the LFE to only go to the sub, or to both...
