My system is: Panasonic SAHE100K Receiver Panasonic DVD player Sony SAVE335 5.1 Speakers Toshiba Flat Screen TV Comcast Digital Cable

I have my HT set up in the living room and every time I power the system on, I get a loud popping sound from the speakers. Also, whenever I power on the HT system, a get the same popping sound from my computer speakers which share a common wall in the bedroom with the HT system (small apartment)...

Well, I've only had the following setup for a couple months and I'm already thinking about upgrading: Panasonic SA-HE 100 receiver Toshiba 32 inch TRUFlat TV Panasonic Progressive Scan DVD Player SOny SA-VE335 Speaker Package with powered sub. Motorola Digital Cable Receiver Digital...

Bob: Thanks for your always useful tips. I really appreciate your clear, detailed responses. Definitely good for someone like me who is just getting started in HT. I'm travelling alot for work right now so in the interest of time, I've decided not to do the tests that you suggested and...

Fair enough, then here's my next question. Which would be preferable (or again, would it not make an audible difference): a continuous run of 16 ga. to the rears or a 12 ga run splices to an 18 ga. run? Just trying to get the best possible results here. I'm leaning towards the continuous 16...

Here goes. The setup of my rear surrounds (and my fiance's penchant for aesthetics over sound) recently required me to wire my rear speakers using AR's 18 ga MicroFlat. This stuff has an adhesive backing and can be stuck to the wall and painted over so that it is almost unseeable. I took...

Well, with AT&T recently being bought by Comcast, I'm hoping to have that option in the near future. You're right, the converter box is not a great option but it does improve the picture slightly.

I had the same problem here in Chicago with AT&T Digital cable. I was hoping to have an S-video connection and either a coaxial or optical digital audio output on my box. The holes for these connections are present and labeled for S-vid and digital audio, but the outputs do not exist on my box...

Hi all: This may be an odd question but I'm wondering if there is any way to connect my computer to my receiver so that I can listen to MP3's stored on my computer through my HT speakers. Distance is not a problem since the computer and HT share a common wall in back to back rooms (i.e. the...

Thanks guys. So you're saying that using bare wire, oxidation really won't be a problem? Also, is it OK to use Bannana Plugs for the binding posts and then bare wire for the spring connectors? Or should I be consistent all around with the connectors I use?

I just bought 100 ft. of sound king 12 ga. wire from parts express. I had been using AR 16 ga. First off, should I hear a sound improvement? Secondly, ny receiver has binding posts for the front and center speakers but the back speaker inputs use those cheesy spring-loaded terminals that you...

Check out the Panasonic SA-HE 100. I picked up an open box model from Circuit City recently for $199. It normally sells there for $299 and is worth every penny. Great sound, great features and 6.1 capable.

Thanks Bob. Does splicing cable together like that degrade the quality at all? Is there a way to splice that will ensure decent results? By the way, I bought the Panasonic SA-HE100 as my 1st HT receiver and I am very impressed with the sound I get for under $300. Can you shed any light on to any...

I just finished installing my first HT system and it everything is working perfectly. I'm a little on the obsessive side though so here is my question: For the front speakers (all speakers are Sony SA-VE 335. Not exactly audiophile quality but good enough until I upgrade down the road)I have...

Thanks for all your help over the past few days. I picked up my 3rd remote in 5 days this afternoon and it looks to be a keeper. I originally bought the RCA RCU890 but it had a strange bug where the clock on the LCD kept resetting to 12:00 every day. So that went back to the store and was...

so i decided to go with the kameleon but can't find it anywhere in the chicago area. any suggestions? it's sold out at radio shack online too.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. What are your opinions on LCD vs. Hard buttons on remotes? Drawbacks, advantages...

Thanks. That Kameleon looks pretty cool. what I'm really looking for (who knows if it even exists) is something that will for instance, let me watch tv through the cable box and change channels via remote, while at the same time controlling volume on my receiver without having to swith to tuner...

I just completed my first HT setup (very beginner level setup but good for my needs). It includes: Toshiba 32 inch TrueFlat TV Panasonic SA-HE 100 6.1 Receiver Motorola Digital Cable Box Panasonic DVD Palyer (newer model but can't recall model #) Sony SA-VE 335 Speakers + Powered Sub I'm...

I also have the PAnasonic and am Extremely pleased with it! I bought an open box at CC for $199 and it more than satisfies my needs. It does run very hot, but in case of extreme heat, the internal cooling fan will be activiated (never happened for me yet. Good sound and channel separation at a...

Thank you both for your help. I guess a should mention that I am also connected to a Motorola Digital Cable box. The box unfortunately has only analog jacks. I have the tv's integrated speakers switched to off, but on the cable box, the volume is set fairly high, maybe 3/4 of the way up. Could...

Hello all. I'm brand new to this forum and am hoping someone can help me with a problem that is so annoying that I have become obsessive about it. Anyways, I know most of you have rather high-end setups (which I currently can't afford), but I have put together a system that should work for my...
