    Kenwood Remote works intermittently??

    Could someone who has resoldered the IR sensor on the VR-507 please help me out? I am not sure where to look for the solder joints. I have removed the top cover and removed the screws that hold the faceplate on. The ribbon cables are still connected. Please help..

    Kenwood Receiver question?

    Thanks, but I don't quite understand. Does the "click" occur only when you manual change from stereo to 5.1 or does this happen on its own once you have started a movie?

    Kenwood Receiver question?

    Thanks. When you say "switching modes", do you also mean between the Warning screen and opening credits/scenes of the main feature?

    Kenwood Receiver question?

    I have been using a Kenwood VR-507 receiver for the last few years. I just started noticing that when I start watching DVDs that there are clicks coming from the receiver. It appears to be occurring when the disc first loads up and when it switches from the Warning screen to the main feature...

    Mad Catz Ultra AV Kit

    Yes, for the X-box. If I buy it, I will probably buy it online since the one local store (EBGames) doesn't have it in stock. I would be able to return it to them minus the shipping charge, if there is something wrong with it.

    Question about the Xbox?

    I think I figured it out. I tried it out on another TV and there were no lines. I then noticed that the original TV that I was using had those green lines on all of the different inputs. They were there even when the Xbox wasn't connected.

    Question about the Xbox?

    I have a question about the main screen on the Xbox. When I first turn it on, there are some-what faint green lines across the Xbox title screen. Is this normal or do I have a defective console? I don't notice any lines when I am playing games or watching movies. By the way, I am only using...

    X-box DVD playback question?

    I have searched around and really haven't found an answer yet. Can the X-Box play DVD movies in DTS? I have a receiver with the built-in DD 5.1 and DTS 5.1 decoders. It isn't a huge deal if it doesn't since I already have better DVD players. It is mainly for gaming and sporadic DVDs in a bedroom.

    Sony receiver audio dropping out

    He has been listening at moderate levels and it still happens. From what he said, it appears to be when the compressor in the mini-fridge kicks on. He decided to unplug the refridgerator to test, and the receiver doesn't shut off. So it appears to be a power spike in that circuit when the...

    Sony receiver audio dropping out

    He has placed a small refrigerator and microwave in a closet in the room(room is 20ft x 15ft), but they are plugged into an outlet in the closet of another room. Could these appliances be a culprit? Now that you mention it, I vaguely remember some people mentioning the protection mode in...

    Sony receiver audio dropping out

    My brother appears to be having some problems with his Sony receiver(1 1/2 year old HTiB). Starting a couple of days ago, the receiver would periodically shut off then immediately power back on during DVD playback. He is using a Toshiba SD-3800 DVD player. Does anyone know what could be the...

    Questions about Panasonic rebate offer

    Thanks for the help, Chris. Someone I was talking to earlier said the opposite. I have decided to just send them both along with a note explaining that I wasn't sure which one to send. Hopefully that will work.
