Ended up just upgrading slightly. Went with the Nikon CoolPix 4100. Got a good buy, and little outlay of cash. This should give me a good insight to novice use of a digital camera. This was a camera referred by someone. Even at the store, the guy was really cool. Would not let me spend...

For christmas this year I received my first digital Camera. It is the HP Photosmart M305 (3.2mp /3x optical zoom/ 1.8 LCD. Unfortunately I hate when others buy me electronic equipment LOL. Now whenever I talk to anyone, or seek info on forums, I am told that this camera is "bad", poor...

The Zone 2, on the 2400 HAS it's own amp. That way you can utilize 2 different sources at the same time. The problem I encountered was setting up the remote to be able to recognize these. Yes, the remote that comes with the unit needed to be setup to recognize the commands for Zone 2. Why? Who...

No, they are set up for Zone 2. These feature allows you to watch or listen to something in one room, and allow you to listen to something else in another room. For example you can watch a movie/sports in family room, and listen to cd's, tuner etc outside. I am having trouble setting upi the...

I currently own the RX-V2400. I have attempted to follow Pg 73 of the manual for setting up the Zone 2. When I get to step 3 I cannot get the remote to say L : AMP. The remote screen simply says what I am curently using, eg; cab/sat. I am trying to get my second set of speakers (exterior) to...

Here is what i am trying to do. I have a second set of speakers set to Speaker B. These speakers are outside on my deck. How can I solely hear these speakers without having the ones inside on? I went into the Zone 2 amp, turned it on, sound was very low, and I cannot raise it. Do I need to...

Okay. If I remember correctly the VCR DOES NOT have S-video plugs. This would follow in line with Brent's thoughts. So I guess what I need to do now is Disassemble my wall unit (bitch) to get to my wires. Then I guess i will disconnect my VCR from the Yamaha and run it diectly to the TV via...

A few months ago I finally set up my HT, with various amts of help from members of this board. Still learning though guys/gals thanks. Now my current problem. I set everything up according to the manual, running all my components thru the Yamaha. Up until last night I never had a reason to try...

I don't know Vince. You get the better of a deal, flyin' out to the big city. But thanks for the offer. Seriously, appreciate the info. I'll look for the Digital Video essential cd. And an SPL meter. I guess it will be a learning experience, but that's what seperates the drivers from the auto...

Having set up my new HT, and not having a freakin' clue as to what I am really doing, it has been suggested to me that I look into purchasing an SPL Meter, and a calibration disc. Even though my Yamaha RX V 2400 has the YPAO feature, it is suggested the discs are better. True? My setup features...

I am not sure of the band, but there was an odd song entitled "Detachable Penis". Also another "older" obscure band with weird lyrics were the Tuff Darts . Another band was/is The Tubes.

Thanks guys. John, I left you a message at Stryke forums. I haven't got to the resetting yet. I was working. I found some good advice also on the Axiom forum as well as here. That's what I love about these places, picking several minds at once in order to rectify/clarify problems. I hope to...

No, Wiring is fine. It's the setup that needs to be tweaked, the calibration of the speakers is what I need to learn how to do. Y'know it all sounded better BEFORE I used the auto setup. Once i used auto setup, it leveled all the speakers down and suppressed the bass. I hate going into something...

Okay first off I am an Audiophile idiot and a virgin. Having that said and cleared here is my query: I just finally got to setting up my first HT. My setup includes the Yamaha RX V2400, Axiom M22's in front, Axiom VP150 center, Axiom QS8's surrounds, and a Stryke Audio Mini Thunder Sub, which...

Manuel, You still get 5% off if you purchase w/o the sub. I purchased M22's QS8's VP150, check the outlet store, already 5% off, with little to no blemish at all. After much reading, surfing, asking I opted for the Stryke Audio Mini-Thunder. John at Stryke laid claim his sub can go lower than...

Okay, maybe I missed some points in asking my question. First, why the lenght? Well, I was going to plug the sub into my Monster HTS 3600. The space between the audio rack (in an entertainment center) and where the sub is placed is further than 10', which was the avg lenght I found. Stryke...

I think the wire reads 16 awg. That from the photo. Is this acceptable?:b Still waiting to hear from the maker of the sub

Okay, maybe it's just me. But then again I can't see dungarees costing 200-300 per pair worth it either, or a cup of coffee for 3.00, etc. Supply and demand, and a naive society all spell big bucks for the suppliers. But whatever floats your boat. That's why I come to these places to be better...

Thanks for the input, and info. When I inquired as to the power cable, John over at Stryke Audio, who is making the sub told me it is just a standard power cord he uses in his subs. The sub in question is the Mini-Thunder. Unfortunately his is only 4 or 6' in lenght. I will recheck with John...

Thanks for the info. But I'll stick with the Belkin for now, hell at under 18.00 for 20' of power cord can't do bad. Besides, someone please explain how, why justification can be made to purchase a 300.00 "power" cord? Hell, a $3000.00 computer doesn't even come with one. Maybe it's me but...

Found some. Turns out Belkin makes the Pro Series Computer AC Power Replacement Cable in 20' lenght. Price: 8.97 + shipp 8.96 Total= 17.93 delivered (cable galaxy):b

Looking for a sub power cord longer than 10' Already tried Parts express and Rat Shack. Please don't give me a site that has the Mother of all power cords for 300.00. I just saw one on Better Cables, too short though, for 249.00. 249.00 for a power cord? I don't get it!!!:angry:

I finally got thru to John at Stryke Custom Audio Solutions). I was looking for info on their Mini - Thunder subwoofer. According to him the Mini-Thunder is 16x16x17" high with the legs. It has a 12" Woofer, 2 12" passive resistors (one on each side) and a 350 watt amp. THE FOLLOWING IS PASTED...

No opinions offered? Trying to put the last piece of my system together, and I'd like to hook up everything at once while it's all out.:b

Anyone ever hear of Stryke Subwoofers? Good Bad? What about building a DIY kit from parts express? Such as 10" TITANIC VANCE SUBWOOFER KIT Any value. This would fit into my enclosures dimensions. I probably will need to go with the box sub, and place it into the enclosure on the bottom of the...

I swapped them, awaiting delivery of M22's. Now I need to settle on a sub. Can a boxed sub be placed into a cabinet under my entertainment center. The sub would be surrounded on 3 sides, with the front having a door covered in mesh. Although I do like the SVS cylinder look. But the HSU VTF-2...

Yes, I posted there as well. Better rounded amt of info garnered. The room is aprox, 14 x 15. Not overly large. But the problem lies in the placing of the speakers, then later adding a sub. The area surrounding the entertainment center where the TV is situated would look over crowded. This is...

I just received my Axiom set. M60/QS8/VP150, in Mansfiels Beech. Absolutely gorgeous. One problem, the M60's may be FAR too large for my room. Aesthetically they stand out a bit too much when placed in the position they will be in. Now I am thinking of swapping them for the M22's. Plus I would...

Better bang for the buck? Okay, here is what I have come up with. Anyone with prior experience please give all the insight you have. The following systems are in place and are running neck and neck. AXIOM: M60's / QS8's / VP150 ( 1620) ROCKETS : RS550 / RSC200 / RS300 (1799) (1718 "B" stk)...

Head to Head compare...Just asking don't attack me Edit Reply Alright, not looking to get flamed, or create a mass pounding, BUT? Has anyone ever compared the Axioms to the Fluance line? I priced out two setups one with an Axiom line and one witha Fluance line. Also added an SVS sub to...
