    Should I Return My Sirius Christmas Present?

    Ronald,I am getting sat radio smart quickly. Went out to Best Buy and Tweeters today. Not much help with the sales people, but I am zeroing in on one of the Kenwood Exceleron series HUs. You just can't beat the free tuner deal. Now I am deciding between the 469 model ($229) which does NOT have...

    Should I Return My Sirius Christmas Present?

    Thanks, Ronald. I am beginning to understand. It looks like I will upgrade my HU. I want the better sound. I've been wanting to upgrade my HU anyway to take advantage of playing mp3s. Though I like Alpine, I will go with Kenwood or another sirius compatable HU. I want to try sirius over xm...

    Remote Codes, Where Do I Find Them?

    I've got the Onkyo TX-SR600 receiver with a very cool learning remote. I have successfully integrated my t.v. and vcr remotes into the Onkyo remote with the codes listed in the back of the Onkyo manual.

    I have a Philips 34pw8520 direct view HDTV. I couple it with a Philips 724AT progressive scan DVD player. While the 480p picture using component cables is stunning, I have found using my DVD player thru my 480i inputs produces a picture that is not a whole lot different than the progressive...

    Have had the 600 for a few months now and overall very happy. However, hooked up a rear center seaker last night just to see how it would sound on a 6.1 EX coded DVD. I got nothing! I configured the speaker to "ON" in the setup mode and I get good noise on the test mode. Played both Harry...

    I read a review that said the 724AT plays SACDs however, the owners manual doesn't say a thing about it. Anybody know? What symbol will a unit have to signify that it can play SACDs? Thanks!

    I have the Philips 724AT progressive scan. I too had some problems. I called Philips via the 1-800 number and they mailed me an update disk. Since the update, I've had no problems with skipping or halts. I get a beautiful picture. When you push the progressive scan button on the front, you...

    I have this t.v. and absolutely love it! The picture is amazing. I am still learning the different features. The price you are quoted is fantastic! I paid retail at the local REX.

    Is My Onkyo TX-SR600 Underpowered?

    James, that makes good sense and is a sigh of relief. In addition to my NHTs, I bought a new HSU VTF-2 subwoofer which should be here the end of the week. Hopefully it will take alot of the load off the receiver. Ref the ADS, the models I have are the 701s. I have had them for 17 years and...

    Is My Onkyo TX-SR600 Underpowered?

    Rick and Matt. Thanks for your help. All speakers are 8 ohms. Does it matter what I set the speakers to; small or large? How about the length of the wire? Does that matter? I believe the impediance of my new NHTs is
