This sounds like a similar situation I had when I got my LG HDTV a few years ago. I had my Blu-Ray player and cable boxes going to the TV via HDMI and the optical out from the TV going to my receiver. It would pass-through a Dolby 5.1 soundtrack, but not the DTS soundtrack on the same movie...

Thanks once again for the replies. I did happen to stumble upon some information that does explain things a bit. Although there's nothing printed on the box or in the set-up manual included with the LG 32LH20 television, apparently that television has built-in Dolby 5.1 decoding. Product...

Thanks for the response, Jeff. I feel a bit better now. As I mentioned, I just figured that any digital audio signal would just pass through the TV and out to the receiver with no problems. Sorta seemed logical to me. But apparently that is not the case, and that kind of defeats part of the...

Greetings, all. It's been quite some time since I've posted or even read anything on here because I had not made any upgrades to my home theater. But now I have upgraded some, and after hooking everything up yesterday, I've run into a snag. Here's what I have: Sony DVP-NS710H dvd player...

Thanks for the suggestion of the IKEA stand. I'll take a look at those. However, the new stand is needed in my Living Room for a 27" Philips TV that is coming out of my bedroom (where the Sony is going), so the silver color is really neither here nor there...the Philips TV is black. The stand in...

Scored it for $200.00...even got a JVC Hi-Fi VCR as well, although I don't really need said VCR. Haven't set it up yet because I need a new stand/cabinet for the 27" TV that will now go into the Living Room. But thanks for the responses and input. :)

Excellent point regarding it being out of warranty. At least I do know where it's been for the last 5 years, and I can count on one hand the number of times I've seen it used in the conference room. However, if it breaks, you're right...it'd probably be expensive to fix. Dammit, why'd you...

Greetings all. It's been quite a while since I've posted or even visited the forum, actually. I've been satisfied with my HT stuff for a while now and have been busy with other stuff...plus, I just don't have the cash to buy new stuff all the time.:frowning: However, my office is moving...

Yeah...my Dad fell for the scam. He called me on my cell phone one day, and I missed the call. He left a message about some speakers worth "X" amount of dollars that this guy was going to let him have for cheap, yadda-yadda-yadda....typical van-scam crap. As soon as I listened to the message, I...

I've looked into that AudioSource SW Fifteen...looks interesting, but I'm not sure if it won't be too large for my bedroom. I've also noticed the AudioSource SW10, which seems like a pretty damn good deal. Is the SW10 better than, say, the Sony SAW-M20 or SAW-M40 or the Yamaha YST-SW205? Any...

Hmmmmm...that JBL at J&R seems pretty cool. I saw 2 Acoustic Research subs that were pretty inexpensive as well, the S112PS and the S108PS. Does anyone have any opinons of either of these subs? I like the new Yamaha with 2 8" drivers, but it's $299, and that, unfortunately, is out of my...

Greetings, all. I did a search for the Yamaha YST-SW205 sub in this forum, but came up with nothing. I am looking for the best powered sub for $200.00 or under. I've heard mixed stuff about the Sony 8" powered sub. The Sony 12" sounds better, but still kinda gets trashed in reviews. I...

[font=Arial][size=2]My, how I do love the literal translation of Japanese to English. Especially THIS line: "The three-dimensional acoustic image which has thickness and the kind of depth where warmly the rich timbre which is the straw raincoat surfaces with merit, the respective part is...

Especially if it's just a preamp tube, which is what it appears to be. Still, it's a very cool looking concept. Wish they'd ship 'em over here.

Really? I've never seen such. That's pretty cool, though. However, I'm guessing that the receiver would need to have an "extra" AUX input or something. I'll check out that option. Thanks John.

Doh! The 1602 does not have a phono input. I still listen to records, so, that's kind of important to me. I do appreciate the suggestion, though.

Thank you all for the quick responses and input thus far on my purchase of that Sony STR-DE875. I probably should have made myself a little more clear in my original post, but I didn't want to write a book. I wasn't yet going to purchase a Surround receiver for my room (I have a Technics...

Hello, everyone. I came across this site while looking up reviews, etc. for the Sony STR-DE875 receiver and decided to join. I'm kinda seeking some input regarding my purchase of an open-box STR-DE875 from Circuit City. I paid $199.00 and got the 3-year service deal for $29.95. Now, based...
