    Problem with my new Sony KV32HS510

    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...

    HK 525 - Defective FM tuner.

    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...

    Can the HK PA2000/4000 handle a 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.

    HK520 and Directv Question.

    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...

    Axiom M60 vs M80

    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.

    How reliable are Klipsch speakers?

    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...

    Question for HK520 Owners

    Do you guys know if the 520 is able to expand a DD5.1 signal to 7.1 (matrixed of course)? Unfortunately, the HK520 does not apply Logic 7 to a DD5.1 source.

    3x100 W vs 2 x200 W

    For a 5.1 system, which setup would sound better. Running my mains off a bridged amp with 200 W per channel and let my receiver handle the other channels. Or running my mains and center off my amp (not in bridged mode) at 100 W per channel and let my receiver handle the surround channels...

    Help with pre/pro setup?

    I have a HK520 and a PA4000 4-channel amp (on the way). For now I will stick with a 5.1 setup. Should I use the amp to run the center and mains. Also should I biamp the mains back through the receivers internal amps? I believe the 520 has two separate internal amps (one for the mains and...

    Does anything come out of the rear surround speakers? Or do you have to use PLII with a two channel source?

    Supplying speaker with too much power?

    I have a center channel capable of 150 Watt amplification. I wanted to biamp the signal to the speaker however that would result in delivering 175 Watts to the speaker. Will running this setup damage the speaker?

    Best 3 channel amp for around $300.

    I can spend up to $300 for an amp. I would prefer 3 channels but I could live with a 2 channel amp for now. Any suggestions?

    PS2 DVD weak audio signal?

    Does anyone else have a problem with the audio signal from the PS2 when watching DVDs? To get an adequate sound level, I have to crank up the volume to -10 dB. Seems really high. I don't have this problem with other AV sources.

    I have my DVD connected to my HK520 via optical cable. However, I can only get 2 channels to show up on the display panel even when the DVD has a 5.1 signal. Anyone ever experience this problem?
