    Watching regular cable on HDTV Display

    Thanks all for the advice. To Man: the problem is with analog signal, not digital cable. I am a newbie and will try your suggestion of using an AVIA setup disc. I have turned off the SV, and yes it does make a difference. Well, at this point I am hoping I will either get used to the...

    Watching regular cable on HDTV Display

    Hi all, Just bought a Pansonic CT-32HL42 which is a 32" HDTV Tau and I am NOT happy. Watching DVD's are great...but watching regular cable, the image becomes pixelated and computer-ish, digitized looking. Especially on sports broadcasts (hockey, basketball). My question is - I have...

    Marantz Owners/Lovers Speak up? I just auditioned one and I'm on the fence

    Greg, I live in Toronto and just bought a 6200 at American Sound for $650 on boxing day (open stock model, meaning the box was a bit wrinkled, but the unit is fine). I have the B&W 300 series speakers - haven't hooked it up yet (waiting to move to new condo) so can't give you sound feedback...

    Silver/Gold Finishes exclusive to Europe/Asia??

    I live in Canada...how come the nice expensive looking finishes are usually not available in North America? Case in point: the Marantz x200/x300 series are only available in Black in Canada (and the US too, I think)....oh, what I would pay for a gold model! Anyone share my frustration...

    Marantz SR-4200

    Thanks for the feedback. I am actually only looking for 5.1 since it is for my small apartment. Yes, the 5200 is available for CDN $599. My main concern is that the receiver will be acceptable for two channel CD playback...but I've read good things on the net about the 'musicality' of the...

    B&W 303's

    I have a pair of B&W 303's that I'm incredibly happy with for music. Now I'm thinking of using these for for Home Theater. Can anyone advise if these speakers would be good for Home Theater use? Also, any recommended centre-channel, rear speaker pairings would be appreciated!

    Marantz SR-4200

    I'm looking for a good receiver that will also satisfy my 2-channel musical needs. I've heard good things about the Marantz SR-4200. Can anyone comment? I currently have a pair of B&W 303's that I would use as my front left/right. I live in Canada and the SR-4200 is on sale for CDN $499...
