    Remote Technology Remotes

    An AV installer has reccommended a RTi remote T2+. Says it's better than Harmony etc. I can't disagree as I have no experience with either. It's also $600 plus cost to setup as opposed to Harmony 890 at $230 on Amazon. Does anybody here have any thoughts on the RTi remotes v. the Harmony, pro or...

    Multichannel audio question

    A Denon techie told me that I needed audio cables to play SACD multicahnnels on my Denon 757 to my 2807, that HDMI does not transmit multicahnnel audio (at least on Denon equipment). Is this correct? I thought HDMI was made for this setup. Any advice would be appreciated. John

    Denon 2807 remote

    Hi, I'm embarrassed to admit that I can't figure out how to use remote or the setup for my 2807. First problem is I'm not able to control receiver with remote. It does seem to work for zone 2. I was able to use it initially, but I must have pressed wrong button and I can't figure out how to...

    RG6 sat cable near power lines??

    If you can, try to run RG6 (or any other cat-5, low voltage etc.) at right angle to power lines if they have to pass close by. 2 feet is plenty of space between wires. If you can also try to run quad shielded RG6 in your house. You'll need bigger fittings but it's the best at eliminating...

    Does anyone know if Ref.30 has direct throughput for M/C music. It does for 2 channel. It has 5.1 DVD-A in/outs, but I can't set it for 'direct' on menu etc. Also, is DVD-A an anolog signal or is it converted by processor and then outputted as anolog? I have Sony XA777es M/C SACD. Thanks for...

    Anyone here have an M&K sub? Don't hear much love for these around here...

    I own M&K MX5000 Mark 11, just got it. I had a professional installer calibrate system, and he threw everything he could at Sub (really low!) and he commented that he noticed NO distortion at all, excellent sub. He said that most people don't know when a sub is distorting, just because you hear...
