Help, I'm new to HTPC so I'm wondering how I go about this. I have a computer with an nForce2 motherboard and an optical out going to my receiver. However, the receiver can only switch between Stereo and Dolby Digital but neither have sound coming from the surround channels. I do not know what I...
Help, I'm wondering what could be causing this. Running a Panasonic DVD player into a Panasonic plasma, but when using the component cables, the display is in shades of green. Other sources seem to work fine so it's not the display itself, I think. It's not the DVD player because when testing it...
What the? While looking for these two models, I was told that they were either discontinued or that they were unavailable in Canada. Is this incorrect? I hate to buy stuff online but should I go that route?
Yup, that sounds right. I don't believe it's magnetic interference from speakers because the only ones there are are two floor standers that are positioned far away. The TV itself is 4 years old and then out of the blue, this problem occured.
The colours on the TV display are messed up. In the middle of the screen in a circle, the display is tinted towards a blue and moving out it goes from a green and then to a red. Does anybody know what is the cause of the problem, and what to do about it. Any info is appreciated, thanks.
I bought the entry VR-5080 because it was below cost, like more than half price off. It's a great deal, and I've been very very happy with my purchase. But later on I look at its specs and the amps are quoted as 80W, 1kHz all channels driven at 6 ohms. I'm like "what the heck" and did not come...
If a store doesn't offer a 30-day trial, would it be unwise to buy from them? What if the new equipment doesn't match favourably with my current setup? How much of an issue could this be?
I caught the upgrade bug and it's looking like maybe I should start trying separates, and I'm looking at an amp, especially for 7.1. I look at the ad on this forum for the Outlaw 7100, sounds like a great price, but I wonder if I can find one used. Anyway, where should I start? What should I...
Hi, I need to power my rear surrounds with an extra amp. Is any old cheap amp good? I don't need a lot of power so I'm not concerned about wattage but will it affect quality? What is best for a 6.1 setup though? A rear center or a pair (monopoles/bipoles/dipoles?)? Or is this a purely...
I bought a cable from ProLink because it was very cheap and I'm not thinking about higher quality cables at the moment. On the packaging, it is called a Digital Audio Cable but there's no orange colouring or a listing of 75ohms. But what else could it be right? On the packaging, it also says...
This may seem like a really silly question (I'm pretty new at all of this) but how many rated watts should be alright for the speakers in relation to the receiver (as in higher or lower?). Or is that just a non-issue?
I've yet to play it since I haven't bought speakers yet but thanks for the input. Chances are I'm gonna love it, but I wonder if it's the best I can get for that price.
This is my first receiver I've ever bought and the reason I bought it was because it was at a great discount: $447 (or $670 Canadian). But because I'm a newbie, I really have no comparisons to make or what to expect from this receiver. When I went to the store I usually frequent and told the...
