Hey Gang, I have spent hours searching and cannot find a CD player that changes at least 5 CD's and has MP3 playback along with CD TEXT. It seems to get MP3 you have to go to the DVD/CD units, which is fine, but they do not have CD TEXT display. So far the Panasonic CV52 does all except...

Angelo, Not sure about your exact receiver, but I know on my 7ES you can link(pick) either the optical or analog to the CD input. Some even outo select depending on the signal. It sounds to me like you have the default for the CD input set to analog. Flip through your setup manual, it should...

Aaron, So I assume when you play a MP3 disk, you have to switch your Receiver's input? That means that your cannot mix shuffle MP3's and CD's right? Also, how long is the average quite time between songs when you set the player to shuffle? I am trying to decide if I need to get two units...

Hey Gang, I am planning on getting the CX455. Since MP3's play only out the analog out, I plan on connecting both the optical and analog to the CD in on my DA777ES receiver. Since it can auto select the source, has anyone tested to see if it really will auto switch. Does not make much...

Hey Gang, What is the best SVHS tape for the money? Are the more expensive tapes worth it? There seems to be the basic tape for around $3-5, and then they jump up to the 7-11 range. Thanks Bob

Ted, Exactly which model degausser did you buy? Thanks Bob

James - I am afraid that Sony has a slight glitch in their code. Has anyone had any luck getting "bugs" reported to Sony? Do they listen? Seems like a pretty simple code fix to me. The fact that it is the same in the 5ES does not look good in getting Sony to make a change. The remote...

Jack, At this point, I do not have any reason to want to disable the SB speakers, I was just trying to understand the logic behind the settings. Thanks Bob

Hi Ryan, Well as you know, I decided on the 7es, because I wanted the latest from Sony. The up convert allows you to plug in all your other gear, DVD, TV, VCRs, etc, and the receiver takes that signal, and outputs it on one s-video connector that connects to your TV. If you have limited...

Comment on the one sub-out connector. IMO the low pre-out signal (2V at 1 kilohms impedance) is boosted by the powered sub anyway, so the 5es just put the y-connector inside the unit. Removing the "extra" output connector gave them room for something usefull. One could always put a meter on...

The 7ES has only one sub out. One week of use, observations on the 7ES 1. First off, I am continually being impressed with the overall sound this 7es puts out. It will take quite a few weeks to work through my DVD collection. 2. There are 16 sound fields available to pick from. One of...

"Does the 7ES has all channel stereo mode? According to the manual, does the 4ES has pre outs to all channels(7.1)? " Hi guys, According to the manual (and back of the unit) the 4 & 7 have 6.1 pre outs. And it has a NEO:6 Music Mode, which puts out the stero in all my 7 speakers. Last...

Hi Guys, Sorry no report yesterday, but hey i was busy.... Even took the rest of the week off from work. UPS came right on time. 3pm. By 8pm i was ready for my first movie. Wife and i watched True Lies. Sounds I never heard before came out. I had all 7 speakers set up, sounded great to me...

Martin, Every time I have called them, I have had them answer the phone. This thread has generated lots of hits, I wonder if they are getting overloaded with info calls. I have traded e-mails with Joe at sSammansm, he has always answered within one to three days. On their web site are their...

At buy.com the S&V disk costs $13.00, and the Avia costs $40.50. Which one do I want? Will the Avia give me $27.00 worth of better setup? I will need to match my center with my mains, and I read that the S&V does not have that test? But I really would like to know what the difference is...

Guys, Sammans return policy is one that expects you to know what receiver you want before you order it. They only take back out-of-box failures. Their complete return policy is on their web page. Below is the gist of it - " RETURN POLICY: Because of the industry we are in, we can only...

Jack, Yea, I looked at the 777ES very hard when it first came out. I am still using my 10 year old Sony DA2020. One of their first flag ship recievers. 200W X 2, 10W (yep a whopping ten) for the center, and 10 more high impact watts for the surrounds. Have times ever changed. I have been...

62 pounds was total package weight. I am sure at least 5 -6 pounds has to be shipping material. So that places it back around the 777. Bob

Keith -

Guys, My 7ES is to to hit my door next Wednesday (7/31). If Crutchfield does not have the specs posted by then, as soon as I can, I will post them from my owners manual. I can tell you that my shipment weighed in at 62 pounds. So did anyone else order order one from Sammans? I think I am...

Keith, They just got a shipment in today. Just a few 7's and i am not sure how many of the 4's. They never have the ES's on their web page. I just posted the link so you can find out about the company. Give them a call. If you want, you can wait a few more weeks until other dealers get in the...

I just ordered the 7ES!!!! I cannot wait for UPS to arrive. The only thing I know is: 120W X 7 All the latest modes Composite ->> S Up-convert RM-TP1 Touch Panel 2 way LCD remote, + extra remote 3 zone, 2nd room with pre-out with E-volume (what is e-volume), 3rd room 2ch pre-out...

OneCall is pretty high. Crutchfield is offering them at $999.99, and they are usually the highest priced. http://www.crutchfield.com/cgi-bin/S...TRD5ES&o=m&a=0 Bob
