    Panasonic G20 vs G25

    Evan I sit awaiting the delivery of my new G25 (54") and I had the same question before ordering. The ONLY difference I could determine is that the G20 comes with a Skype-ready web camera while the G25 is the EXACT same TV but without the camera. You can always purchase the camera later...

    Rock Concert DVD Releases

    Led Zeppelin - 2 DVD set released this summer. Has concerts from 1970 thru 1979. Issued along with the 3CD live sets from 2 shows in LA in June 1972 called "How the West Was Won" but the two share no same-show selections. Absolutely Awesome!

    what exactly is the difference between 2 channel stereo and 5 channel stereo?

    With Denon, the "5 Channel Stereo" is just what RobWil and JasonT stated, it's an algorithim Denon uses to route a normal 2-channel source (like a normal CD or a record) into all 5 of your speakers. It is NOT surround sound in the sense of DVD-Audio, SACD or even a 5.1 mix from a DVD Video which...

    So - What Music Did You Buy This Week?

    Neil Young - Greendale CD, but the bonus DVD solo acoustic show from Dublin Ireland included is worth the $13.00 by itself!

    DTS problem, HELP please

    There have been some previous threads on this but heres a quick thing to check: For Panasonic and Denon players (same chip used I think), you have to make sure that the subwoofer is not turned OFF in the speaker setup for the DVD player (NOT THE RECIEVER), even if you don't have a subwoofer...

    Denon ext in's for dvd audio/sacd

    I have the 3803 and was wondering about about the settings with Ext In too. My confusion is how do the channel settings set on the reciever interact (if at all) with the settings you can make on the DVD player itself. I have the Denon 1600 DVD player. I'm guessing that when you select ExtIn...

    Also check out some of the Peter Rowan work with Jerry Douglas on SugarHill; Yonder and Dust Bowl Children are two with stunning sound. -Ken

    Bi Wire - Denon 3803

    You could use a stackable set of banana plugs to get all 4 wires into the two outputs at the reciever end. Or, you could do like I do with my 3803, Snell Type-D's and bare-ended 10Ga Monster Cable: Remove enough of the insulation to wrap one of the negative leads around the other (copper...

    Anyone else have these problems with Rhino DVD-A's?

    Still curious though, why (so far) only with some of the Warner Rhino discs and not all others? Do have to admit my collection is very small so not much to compare with. Is there a correlation of this "problem" with discs that offer both the 2- channel as well as the 6-channel modes? The only...

    Anyone else have these problems with Rhino DVD-A's?

    Michael- See my new post, found the problem and the fix. Turn on the subwoofer in your DVD player menu setup - even if you don't have one. It works! Thanks for your help. -Ken

    Anyone else have these problems with Rhino DVD-A's?

    I did write down the various numbers on the inner most part of both discs in case it would help narrow down when, by whom or what lot the disc was manufactured. Thanks for looking in to it. -Ken

    Anyone else have these problems with Rhino DVD-A's?

    Inneresting.... I'll let you know if I get a response from Dr. Rhino - customer service listed on Rhino's web site. Sounds like they've got some QC problems. -Thanks for responding. -Ken

    dvd 6 ch out or.....?

    Not sure if this will help but I had a similar situation. Check the DVD setup and see what it lits for the Dolby Digital and/or DTS output options. If they are set to "Bitstream" then they are only going through the optical or coax output and NOT through the 6-channel RCA outputs. Switching to...

    Anyone else have these problems with Rhino DVD-A's?

    Denon 1600 DVD and Denon 3803 Reciever. When I select the "Surround Playlist" from the top menu, and enter a song, the on-screen display for the 1600 clearly says the input is "96/24 2-channel". Pop the disc out, put in "Brain Salad Surgery" (which doesn't have a seperate stereo mix, but is...

    Anyone else have these problems with Rhino DVD-A's?

    On Friday I picked up the Grateful Dead "American Beauty" DVD-A from a local Best Buy based on a lot of good sounding reviews. Got it home and although the stereo mix is stunning, it wouldn't play anything in the surround mode. You can select Stereo playlist or Surround Playlist but both end up...

    help getting started on designing and building speakers

    I'd like to start learning a little more about designing speakers before getting my nerve up to actually build a speaker. Can anyone point me to good freeware to download for starting the design process. Also any good ref's to read up on would be appreciated. I'm sure some of these have been...

    DVD Audio setup question

    Yeah, J's right. The color coding on the ends of the cables (red/white) is only just that - color - so you don't get the ends confused at the opposite end.

    DVD Audio setup question

    First, your DVD player has to be capable of DVD-Audio. Assuming it is, there should be 6 analog outputs grouped together (FL,C,FR,SL,SR,BS,SW) in addition to 2 normal analog outputs (L/R) and the digital outputs (coax or optical(or both). These 6 analog outputs should be directly wired to...

    Where are the live concert DVD-A/SACD's?

    Also, there is Neil Young's "Road Rock V1". I'm curious though if anyone else out there has this disc - even though it sports the DVD-Audio logo there doesn't seem to be ANY center channel output and the surround channels are minimally used! Unfortunately this was the first DVD-A disc I...

    Question on analog output options for Denon DVD 1600

    Yeah, I've downloaded and read it over but it never really answers the question. It is a slightly older manual as it doesn't depict the component video outputs now on the 1600 but I doubt the description on the audio outputs would have changed. Thanks for the suggestion, I wish more of the...

    Question on analog output options for Denon DVD 1600

    In preparation for the arrival my new Denon DVD-1600 and 3803 AVR combo I'm trying to make sue I have the cabling figured out ahead of time. My question is this: Will 2-channel CD audio only be output throught the 2-channel out or is it also covered by the LR portions of the 6 channel analog...

    Best options for matching Snell Type D's...reasonably?

    I'm new to HT and looking to build my first >2 ch system around my existing Snell Type D tower speakers (as L&R), a Denon 3802 receiver and the Denon 1600 DVD player. System would be used 40/60 HT/Music. For now, I'll forgo the sub since the Type D's are good down to 32 Hz. I'm primarily...
