Since both your PC and receiver have HDMI, then just use one cable like you said. I used to have an HK 430, and now have the Pioneer 92TXH. It's just sooooo convenient to have movies on the PC instead of in my DVD changer.
What connection are you using to get video from the HTPC to the projector? S-video, component? Just for comparison, and maybe it'll help you plan your purchase, I'll let you know how my system is setup. HTPC audio to receiver via optical. HTPC video to receiver via HDMI. Video from receiver...
I have 2 in-ceiling speakers for the backyard patio, and about 20' away I have 3 rock speakers. What receiver do I need to hook up these 5 speakers? The source will be primarily CD. If I use a 5.1 receiver, apply some DSP like Dolby PL Music, will I get equal sound from all 5 speakers? Or will...
I have a HD camcorder, excellent quality, no complaint. What I'd like to know is if there's any component that's dedicated for playback of those Mini DV tapes. I'm afraid that by using the camcorder for playing back (I do watch the tapes a lot), it'll get worn down much faster than if I only...
My wife ordered this online for me to replace our old HK AVR 430, she didn't know that I had already picked up the Pioneer 92TXH from a local store. I have no use for the 347 now, it just arrived today, still in the box, unopened. My wife paid $470 shipped through an Amazon's merchant. I will...
This player can be had for under $300, ($229 to be exact) so that's the ceiling for my budget now. I saw in the spec that it has pitch control, I'll never use this feature. So now I'm searching for a cd player with comparable in audio quality to the Marantz but without the bells and whistles. I...
Does a single disc cd player USUALLY have better audio and build quality than something like a dvd player or cd changer that also plays cd, within the same price range? Thanks,
I'm looking for a single CD player, no need for 5-disc or larger changer. Audio quality is #1 priority. I don't want to spend over $400 for this. Thanks for any leads.
Check out ecost.com for their factory refurbished AVRs. I just bought one of the Onkyo refurbs for my backyard rock speakers. Awesome deals can be had at that website.
So we've improved the video quality from 480i-->480p-->720p-->1080i-->1080p. I think the ultimate goal is to have video quality IN OUR DISPLAY be the same as what we can see in real life. With that in mind, is there a better, higher-resolution video quality than 1080p?
This whole issue is confusing. I've read posts by people who have low LFE with analogs, with HDMI, and others claim they don't have the problem. I'm just glad that I found a solution to get acceptable sound to my ears.
FWIW, here's what I did: From within the XA2 speaker menu, I put the sub at the max volume of 0 dB, and leave all other speakers (small) at the minimum of -12 dB. So, the difference here is 12 dB. Then, from the receiver speaker adjust menu, I leave all speakers (small) at 0 dB, and...
It's well known that the problem is widespread via analog connections, what about HDMI? I have my XA2 connected via HDMI for video only, audio is analogs. I'm wondering if I should upgrade to an HDMI receiver. Thanks,
Sapphire Radeon AGP X1600PRO. Couple weeks ago, I mistakenly bought (online) the wrong card, I need PCI-Express but got the AGP version. Lost receipt, so I can't return it. It has NEVER been used. Info about the card is here: http://www.directron.com/x1600pro100148.html Price is $80 shipped...
I want multi channel from the computer to the receiver. My soundcard doesn't have spdif, or I'd have used that. I think the better way for me now is just to get a newer sound card, so I just ordered the auzentech 7.1. Thanks,
Hi, I'm planning on getting this http://us.creative.com/products/prod...&product=14309 to connect the soundcard to the receiver. However, the 8 analog inputs are already occupied by the Toshiba XA2. I need another set of analog inputs, and was thinking of something like a switchbox that has 2...
I have 2 sources (Dish HD receiver and Toshiba XA2) going into my Mitsu HD1000U projector. The lowest price for a 2-in 1-out is $100. Damn, a hundred dollars for a switch box? Thanks for any leads,
I just bought the XA2 from valueelectronics for $750, free shipping, no tax to CA, and 7 HD DVDs!! Best deal out of them all. And Robert is a forum sponsor, no brainer decision.
