I have some questions regarding HDTV. Because of my location most of my viewing will be in SDTV, with only a few HDTV stations available. From what I have seen in the past SDTV signals do not produce a very good picture on HD televisions. I looked at an HDTV the last few days that changed my...

Need help I want something that will last and not freeze. Progressive scan or not

I'm tired of my DVD player stopping (freezing). Watching a movie last it stopped 5 times, just froze the picture. Sometimes I can slap it and it will start back, other times it will not open or even shut down. The disk look ok. At first it would have a broken screen and most times I could fast...

I bought an SVS sub about a year ago and at first I was not all that impressed. I made the mistake of saying so on this forum and I was punched, kicked, shot, stabbed, run over, insulted, and ridiculed by almost everyone except---Ron & Tom. The reason I was not all that impressed is because of...

The last few DVD movies I watched the center channel was missing. After I opened and closed the DVD player it started working again. Anyone had this problem? I've only had the HK-520 about a week.

Is there any way to set up the SPL for the Sub-Woofer. Where is the test tone? Manual said to use Avia, and Avia doesn't have a Sub tone to set by. Do I have to buy another test disk?

Anyone had an experence with Lighting damage to their electronics. I had a direct hit that knocked out half the breakers in the elec. panel and all the ground fault switches. The TV and the AVR are both dead. My question is can these be fixed properly or am I asking for headaches down the road...

I found on this forumn that I can buy a HK 520 AVR for about $650. Good price I think. I have listened to HK and they do seem to have a very good sound. Compared to many other brands they seem to stand out. I have heard that quality problems have plagued HK in the past. All I need is a simple...

Lightning killed my Denon 2801. I think I'll replace it with another brand because it had a few problems anyway. What is the best for about $600.00? thanks

I see no Denon e-mail adddress for tech support. Anyone know what the address is or if there is one?

Last night I switched on the HT system but I get a garbled picture thru the DVD. By garbled I mean a picture like a cable channel that is blocked. Audio is fine. Everything worked fine the day before. I had my DVD player hooked via s-video cable to the AVR--then s-video from AVR to TV...

Two questions. Is there a difference between the way a front firing sub sounds and a floor firing? If I turn a floor firing sub on its side will it sound like a front firing sub?

Is it possible to adjust the channel level on this AVR using an outside source for pink noise. I'd like to adjust the level using the Avia disk but when I go to the channel level set-up mode the AVR generates its own pink noise and over rides any other source. I am told that this is possible...

Has anyone had any experence using SVS subs in homes with concrete floors and concrete walls? I think this may be one reason I'm not getting the performance I expected. Any tricks or twinks out there?

I got my SVS sub yesterday and hooked it all up last night. I used the AVRs test tones to set the volumn and everything seems to be adjusted right. Ran thru the Avia disk and all sounds fine. Put in a few DVDs and not that impressed. Tried Pearl Harbor, Vertical Limits, Braveheart, then...

I have read several articles conserning the LFE on sub-woofers. Many articles suggest turning the LFE off or by-passing it to keep from going thru two crossovers. My sub has a LFE switch on back and it sounds much better with the LFE switch off. By doing that I can not control the gain thru...

Need some advice here guys. This is for music--HT is ok. I had a JBL NSP1 5 speaker system. It was ok for awhile. Then I changed my two main (N24's) for two Paradigm Titans. That was ok for awhile. I'm still not getting that room filling sound. Now I'd like to change the mains again...
