    Need help from Rotel owners - volume issue

    Thanks for the responses guys. Can I clarify that your DVDs are using 5 channels while your CDs are using 2 channels? Also, is your DVD and CD player the same? I feel a bit better now knowing that having the DVD up to 50-60 is "normal". It just seemed awfully high since the tuner and CD...

    Need help from Rotel owners - volume issue

    ARGGG.. I just typed this whole message twice and both times the message got deleted before posting (for different reasons)..so I'm going to keep this brief. For Rotel RSX-1055 (and maybe 1065 owners): What is the volume you have your Rotel set to when listening to your different sources...

    Where to buy RG6?

    Ok, I think I figured it out. Radio shack carries white RG6 cable. 278-1318 With 2 RCA connectors I'm good.

    Where to buy RG6?

    It's for a subwoofer. Thanks, I'll keep that in mind if I can't find anything.

    Where to buy RG6?

    I have a powered subwoofer that I need to run 25ft. I checked PartsExpress and a few other places, but they don't have exactly what I want. Any suggestions? I need: 25ft WHITE RG6 If terminated, then also gold plugs, and gold F female to RCA male adapter If not terminated, then just gold...

    Volume issue/question (RSX-1055 + B&Ws)

    So based on what you're saying, and we assume that the Playstation has a sound discrepancy between CD and DVD (even though both go through optical connection), I'm still going to have a large sound difference because my DirecTivo only supports RCAs? That would mean when I switch between TV and...

    Thanks. This should work.

    Wall plate suggestions

    I currently have 5 speaker wires and 2 coax wires coming out from a hole in the wall. I looked at partsexpress but didn't see anything made like this. Do I need to buy just a plate with holes in it, then add banana plugs and coax plugs? Sorry for the inaccurate terminology. I'd be very...

    Volume issue/question (RSX-1055 + B&Ws)

    Thanks for the replies. The playstation only has one set of audio cables plugged in (optical). The Tivo only has one set of audio cables plugged in as well, but these are composite. It goes directly to the receiver, not to the TV. The surround speakers are set to off as is the subwoofer...

    Volume issue/question (RSX-1055 + B&Ws)

    Some of you might have seen my previous post where I had RSX-1055 issues and the display wouldn't turn on. Well the dealer gave me a brand new unit which fixed the problem. Now I have another strange issue that I'm hoping someone could help with. Since I didn't buy the surround speakers...

    new RSX-1055 won't turn on. HELP!!!

    I just bought the unit 2 days ago. I connected my TV, Tivo, Satellite, and speakers to the Rotel RSX-1055 unit. It was working but with a couple of issues. 1) The remote didn't work properly (buttons would sometimes work, other times it doesn't). 2) When I turn the volume up to 62, the...

    Which set (B&W vs Paradigm) + sub decision

    Thanks for the feedback everyone. I opted for the B&W package less the sub. I'll be putting in the SVS order soon as well. As for the rears, this is where aesthetics wins. B&W doesn't make anything as small as the Cinema series so I'll be going with those.

    Which set (B&W vs Paradigm) + sub decision

    Also, is the Rotel/B&W combo something important I should be considering, or is the Rotel/Paradigm just as good? It's just that the rep I talked to and the posts I've read say that the Rotel pairs very nicely with the B&W line.

    Which set (B&W vs Paradigm) + sub decision

    Thanks for looking. I've been agonizing over this and reading a crap load of threads, but every situation is unique right? So... here are the two setups with some options: 1) Monitor 7 (L/R) CC-370 (C) Cinema 90 (Surrounds) PDR-10 (Sub) 2) B&W 603 (L/R) LCR 600 (C) Cinema 90...

    SACD/999ES not working with MX132

    Setting the input to CD is just arbitrary for the MX132. Its basically identifying the cables I plugged into the back as the input source that is being played. I don't think it makes a difference. I could call it DVD-2 or something else. As for the 5.1 settings, I can play a DVD with either...

    SACD/999ES not working with MX132

    Ok, this is going to be a long post, but hopefully someone who is familiar with these models can help with the problem. I'm having problems hooking up my home theater that was working before I bought my new SACD player. Here's what I have: MX132 Preamp MC7205 Amp Marantz MM9000 Amp Sony...
