Yes I could use the green port but I want to be able to use the computer speakers as well. I don't want to have to switch it each time. JasonG

Hi all I have a soundblaster live and I want to run sound to my reciever downstairs. I bought a converter that converts from the end that goes into the soundcard to rca jacks. So I have run to sperate wires downstairs into the reciever. My question is which port does it go into on the back...

Is it possible to hook up speakers with different impedances? If it is, what effects would this have on my system? I think my receiver has a selection for two different ones. I think it is 4 or 8. Some of the speakers are 4 impedance and one 16 and the others are 8.

Thanks for all your replies. Is it possible that the center speaker (a small satellite) is just not good enough. Should I just get a better center speaker. If so can I get one from any make? Or does it have to be a Yamaha again. If it has to be a Yamaha can it be any Yamaha speaker? JasonG

Hi all I was just wondering if anyone knew who I would contact about a problem I am having with my Blade 2 DVD. I bought the disc awhile back but have used it maybe once or twice. On the first disk near the center of the hole it seems to be flaking/chipping. Also the dvd itself seems to have...

Hi all I am a big Sarah fan and I just purchased her dvd Mirrorball. Now It has a DD 5.1 track for the songs and I was going on a review from Link Removed which said it sounds awesome. But the problem I am having is it seems to have no bass or very little. The cd of the same name sound...

Hi all I hope I posted this in the right forum. But my question concerns a feature I came across on my RX-V430 Yamaha reciver. It is called Cinema DSP and it can be used with Dolby Digital or DTS. Now my question is, should I be using this feature when I watch a movie in either of these sound...

Ok well my budget would be under 200$. My samsung has served me well and it was about 250 or so and it worked great until recently. I don't need progressive scan because my tv can't support it. So if you could suggest some models to look at I would appriciate it! Jasong

Hi all Does anyone know how to activate the silent receiver mode on a Yamaha Rx-V430 receiver. I couldn't see anything in the manual about it but Yamaha's website says it has it. Thanks JasonG

Hey Brad Good to see another canuck around! If you definitely want to stick to that budget and your looking at a HTIB, then I would have to suggest the system I bought. I purchased it at 2001 audio video and it is the YHTB20 system from Yamaha. For the small space I have it really ROCKS. You...

Hi all Quick question. I have a 32" Sony Wega and I also have the Sound and Vision calibration disc. Now I am doing the contrast test. It tells me to adjust the contrast to the point just before the top boxes on the test pattern bleed into each other. My question is even if I turn the...

Thanks for the reply. Also I was wondering how do I adjust the speaker volume for the speakers. I want to change the volume of the front left speaker but it seems to only let me change center,left surround, right surround and sub. Also do you if there is a feature that lets you tell the receiver...

Hi all Just bought a Sony Wega 32" FS and a Yamaha home theater system. I have a couple of questions. The first one is regarding the subwoofer. Where is the best location for it. Right now I have it behind the couch. Also how do you know what volume you should have it at. Because right now it...

Hi all When I play movies through my dvd player they usually play in dd 5.1. I only have a 2 speaker setup at the moment but I can still hear sound through it. But is it possible to hear a dts track through a 2 speaker setup(without receiver). Because when I select dts I hear nothing out of...

What does everyone think of the Sony ht-ddw840? I would like some opinions on that since I am getting a sony television. Thanks Jason

Ok. So everyone is telling me go with the kenwood? Do retailers have a vendetta against kenwood, I have been in major chain stores to the small electronics stores and everywhere I go they say stay away from the kenwood? Why is this? Also if the kenwood 505 is really good can someone give me some...

Ok thanks for all the replys. But does anyone have an experience with the Yamaha yht-300? I would like to know what you think of that. Should I start a new thread about that to get people to answer? Jason

Hi all Thanks for the reply's and so quickly. I agree with Gary Thomas, the room is not very big, and for my budget a htib is the only solution. I can upgrade the speakers at a later date. Now I was in best buy tonight and I looked at a Yamaha setup the YHT-300. Now its in my price range and...
