I already tried resetting, to no avail. Still no speakers.

After a particularly-ugly thunderstorm last night, I no longer get sound out of my 45TX receiver. Since several other electronic devices in my house are having problems (a TV, a cable modem and my ReplayTV), I think we had a nearby lightning strike. The 45TX turns on and it switches video...

I made a quick stop yesterday at a store to checkout the Samsung DLP TV's. They initially had an aquarium playing from a computer - makes a great $3,800 16x9 monitor. I asked to see some video feeds, and the salesman showed me a DVD of 13 days. I haven't seen this movie, so I didn't have a...

I want to take this opportunity to thank all of the previous posters in this thread. You have truly made me better-appreciate my wife. Now, excuse me while I go order my Pioneer Elite 45TX and kiss my wife!:D

I'm interested in getting a pair of RB-5II's to act as mains; however, I'm wondering about the impact of speaker placement on their sound. They will be sitting atop shelves and placed almost directly against the wall. I have very little, if any, room to move them away from the wall. Most of...

I've been going back and forth between the 3803 and the 45TX and am currently leaning heavily towards the 45TX. The primary reasons I'm thinking about going withthe 45TX is because of the MCACC auto-calibration and the front input jacks (the 3803 doesn't have front jacks). When you...

I'm reading through the 45TX manual, and just want to clarify that all four of the digital inputs (two optical and two coax) are independently assignable. I just want to make sure that the coax inputs aren't 'married' to a particular input source. Will some of you 45TX owners comment please.

I'm in the process of upgrading my HT with a new receiver and speakers, and am wondering about speaker performance for DVD-Audio playback. I have a Panasonic CP72 DVD player, which doesn't do any sort of bass management during DVD-A playback (through the 5.1 analog outputs). Does anyone...

Panasonic is currently offering a $30 rebate on the CP72. I think it runs through January, but check their website under rebates/promotions to verify. I got mine for Christmas. Bought online for $223 including shipping.

I need four surround/back speakers to compliment a set of front speakers - Klipsch RB-5II's and an RC-3II center channel. The subwoofer will be an SVS 25-31 (or one of their new box subs when they come out in a couple of months). I wanted to go with the Klipsch RS-3's, but they won't work due...

Jamey, FWIW, I would recommend you go with a local dealer. The best online price I've seen is in the $870 ballpark. A local dealer here in Dallas is running a 15% sale on all receivers (I haven't called yet to confirm that ALL includes the 3803), which would get it down to around $1,020. For...

It appears from reading the 45TX manual that the OSD only appears over an S-video or composite connection and will not be displayed over a component connection. True? If so, does this present any usability issues? After looking at the OSD screen map on page 108 of the manual, I don't see any...

Steve, thanks for the input. Funny you should mention the Klipsch/SVS combo. That's what I'm currently leaning towards - RB-5II's/RC-3II in the front and the small SVS sub. I was leaning towards the RS-3's for surround/backs, but they're too big for the space I have, so I'm currently looking for...

Got a Panasonic DVD-CP72. I'm embarrased to admit that this is my first DVD player! Let's just say that it's a step or two up from a 4-head VCR! Since it's the first purchase toward a new HT, I can't comment too much on its abilities. I'm only watching it through the composite connections on...

Brae, Thanks for the info. Yep, you've got a few more cubic feet to worry about than I do. And besides, with my 3yr and 6yr old kids, I only get to 'dream' about listening at reference level most of the time anyway! I keep going back and forth between the 45tx and the Denon 3803. The MCACC...

While I like the idea of the MCACC, being a rookie, I'm wondering whether the THX Select certification of the 45TX will be okay in my environment. I have one of those acoustically-challenged floorplans (the real estate agents like to call them 'Open') where my 20x20 family room adjoins an 18x16...
