    Compare the HK AVR 335 vs AVR 430

    Thanks guys! Sounds like it's the way to go at least for these two receivers. Now just have to decide between the AVR 430 and the Pioneer VSX-1014/1015, VSX-52 refurb, and the VSX-9100 refurbs!! THe VSX-52 refurb is $396 + $35 shipping. Really sounds pretty good, but bouncing around...

    I'm looking to upgrade and have been shopping around alot. I came across these two receivers at harmanaudio.com. They're both factory refurbs with a 2 year warranty.

    Help my Yamaha HTR-5490 died last night!

So first of all not sure if the thunderstorms even had anything to do with it. But when I push the power button the display turns...

    DVD player not reading disk

    Thanks for the replies. By real cheap I mean the bid is $5 with shipping $15. Seems I can hardly go wring at that price. If it doesn't work out I plan on getting this model anyhow. In that case I'll at least have an extra remote and other "parts". Has anyone out there ever replaced a laser pickup??

    DVD player not reading disk

    There's a JVC DVD player up on Ebay for real cheap that says the player powers up, the TV says "disk loading", but the DVD player says "no disk". Not knowing much about DVD's but not afraid to tear into one, does anyone want to take a stab at possible problems. It says it looks cosmetically new...

    How to feed satellite signal thru receiver to VCR???

    First of all, my apologies, I meant to say "composite" hook-ups instead of "component". All my connections between my receiver, vcr and television all are "composite". There now that I've eaten crow on that I have a question Wayne about your last paragraph in your reply post. You are correct, I...

    Yamaha receivers yellow front display color??

    Hi guys, I know this may be trivial, but need to ask those in the know. I'm purchasing a HTR in the near future and have several models in mind. My only question now is the front LCD display on Yamaha receivers. All other brands appear to have the light blue display color, but the Yamaha's have...
