I am new to this whole HDTV thing. I saw an antenna at Radio Shack that was HDTV capable but it only came with a coaxial cable. Is that correct? I was expecting component cables.

Just got a new sony KV32HS510. I am really impressed with the picture when the source is HD, however for regular non-HD sources (which is what I watch about 90% of the time) the picture is often blurry. Probably because of the aggressive DRC. There is no way to turn it off as far as I can tell...

Just changed out my 520 with a 525. I really like the 525 better. I really think they did a better job with the pre-amp section of the 525. The sound seems much fuller than before. The 520 is a great unit too. But I couldn't be happier with my 525. Except that the first unit was defective. :angry:

Thats strange. I even tried to get them to pay for it and they refused. Here is their policy from their website: http://ww3.onecall.com/Policies.mpt?Pos=122

Overall satisfied with my experience with onecall. Although you do have to pay for the shipping back to them if your gear turns out to be defective. That was a little annoying.

No, I am sure the tuner is defective. I just upgraded from a HK520. Same location. Even tried my old antenna. I called HK and they agreed that it was defective. Although he said that he has never heard of a 525 with a defective FM tuner. I was the first. Oh well. Onecall is shipping me...

Haha. Yeah. I unhooked it and rehooked it about 10 times.

I just received my HK525 from Onecall. Hooked it up and it sounded great. Everything seemed to work fine until I tried the FM tuner. It seeks continuously and never stops on a channel. Good grief. I hope there is an easy fix for this. I spent two hours installing that thing. I sure don't feel...

Have you had any problems with your amp/receiver shutting down due to the 4 ohm load?

When in bridged mode. I wanted to order the Axiom M80 towers. They are 4 ohm speakers. Do any PA2000/4000 owners have 4 ohm speakers running in bridged mode? Thanks.

Looks like theres no way to do it. Here is a response I received from HK's technical support:

I set the default to be PL II. It has never defaulted back to PL II when I switch from a show that has DD to a show that does not.

I have a Directv receiver with an optical output. Some shows are in DD5.1. The problem I have is that the HK520 will detect the DD5.1 signal like it should (when its available), but when I switch to a show that isn't in DD the HK520 will switch to "Surround Off" rather than PLII. Is there a...

Marc- Thanks for the response. I am using a separate amp for my mains. Will the 4 ohm load harm the amp over the long term?

Is the M80 a big improvement over the M60. I was leaning towards the M80 but I am a little put off by its 4 ohm nominal impedance.

Can the HK520 drive 4 ohm speakers. I believe it can but just want to make sure. thanks.

John- THANKS!!! I wasn't quite sold on the M80s yet, but at that price how can you go wrong. Thanks again!!!

Leo- Where can you get a pair of M80s for $935? I have only seen them offered for about $1100 (shipping included).

I really don't care for Ebay for HT items. I don't feel like watching an auction for 6 days so I might get a slight discount on a previously used item. And then after 5 days, some retard submits a bid that is equivalent to the price of a new item. I have found a few good deals there, but I...

matt- If I were you, I would go with the High Res all the way around instead of the HC6. Center-AR4C ($150) Mains and Surrounds- AR15 ($400 total) Sub- Sony SAWM40 ($150) Total cost = $700. Thats about $200 more than the HC6 but well worth it. I have the HC2 (and love it) but if I...

I was considering the Divas. However, the looks of the speaker would severely clash with the rest of my living room. Not too fond of the current exterior. It looks like a Keebler elf is about to pop out of one of the woofers. Hopefully they will come out with a black exterior one of...

Brett- Why do you feel that the HC6 is a better setup?

Had my 520 for 2 months. Never had this problem.

At first I preferred DPLII to Logic 7, but now that my speakers have fully broken in, there is no contest. I love Logic 7. Can't wait to upgrade to a 6.1 system. As far as digital goes, I prefer DTS to DD. But they are both pretty good.

I have a PA4000 and have been very happy with it. You can get the PA2000 (same amp only 2 channels) for $200-300. I believe I saw it on Ubid for $189 (refurbished).

Thanks but I am checking out the post-Cold War line-up. ;) The Reference series in particular.

After auditioning several brands for my center and mains, I came away the most impressed with Klipsch. I usually only use my system for HT and I thought Klipsch was perfect for that use. My only concern is build quality. How many of you Klipsch owners have had a problem with your speakers...

Thanks for the tip. I will try to find it.

Dan- I haven't listened to the new LSi mains yet. I listened to a couple different RT mains. This Circuit City didn't have any LSis hooked up. But I was very impressed with the RT1000i.

I rarely use my system for music. Pretty much straight HT. The center channel is where almost all dialog is reproduced. So I am more interested in getting a better CC. But I do see your point about matching the mains to the cc. I listened to a few polk mains that sounded excellent. I...
