As much as I like the SA-HE200 it's kind of annoying in it's use of digital inputs. Even though there are 5 digital audio inputs (4 optical, 1 coax), you can only use 3 for video. The possible settings are TV, DVD and VCR2 for video that can be associated with digital inputs. In order to use the...

Make sure you have the cable plugged into the line-out jack on your sound card. The headphone jacks are powered and notorious for being really noisy. If you have a Soundblaster live or Gametheater XP you may want to look into using digital outs, that would eliminate any humming. Good luck.

Guess you're right, it's weird that they would do it that way.

Thank you very much for your lengthy and detailed reply. I did do some minimal searching before I posted a new thread, but I wasn't able to find anything. I figured that the truth lied somewhere near what you just said. The only thing that surpised me was that one of the Sony ES models had the...

I was looking through the manual for my Panasonic SA-HE200 today and I noticed something odd. In the specifications section, under the power heading, it said power consumption: 350 watts. Whah!? This receiver rates itself as 130W x 6 (Granted this is at 6ohms, but still). What exactly is the 350...

Maybe I'm biased because this is what I bought, but here is a suggestion. Reciever Panasonic SA-HE200 $350 JBL NSP-1 5 speakers system $270 --or-- JBL NSP-1 + JBL PB-10 $440 I already had a DVD player, but I you want to add one in, I would suggest the Panasonic RP62 for $150. All told...

My receiver does indeed have a midnight mode. But reading the manual, it says that it's only for Dolby Digital tracks. Can I use it for just TV watching or DTS tracks?

Yeah, I would really like to have a sub, but until I move out of the dorms, I just can't have people coming knocking on my door everytime there is activity on the LFE. It's especially annoying now that I have all new speakers and I get them all during finals. For those who don't know, finals...

Ok, I just took a college final over this less than 6 hours ago and am quickly trying to forget it, but just for anyone who still might not understand, I'm going to try do this without any equations. The less resistance (ohms) you have, the more current you will have flowing to your speakers...

I realized today that I have an interesting speaker setup, and wondered if anyone else had heard of someone doing this. When I first decided to make a real home theater system I decided to get a good receiver (Panasonic SA-HE200) and use it to power some crappy 40W speakers I had from a...

I just realized that I quoted you the price for the biggest SVS sub in that line. For the smaller, more economical 25-31CS, you can get the passive version for $379, bringing the total to $830. If you are willing to pay just a bit more you could get the 25-31CS with an integrated amp and...

Well, I'm not sure how applicable any of this is because I got it all grey market, but I was able to get the NSP1 set for $225 and a pair of N28s for $126. Both of these prices are with shipping. This together is $351. That leaves $649 for a sub, and checking SVS's website, it appears you can...

Thanks

Nobody had posted an answer to this message, so I just wanted to give it a little bump.

I'm looking into buying a Panasonic SA-HE200. My current idea is to use a simple stereo reciever to amp two more channels for the rear center. This would use the pre-outs from the Panasonic to send the signal. My question is, are the pre-outs line level (i.e. fixed volume) or are they variable...
