Hey, guys, I bought these for an install I did for my dad's friend, and the connectors were too long, so his components would not fit back far enough in the stand he bought (don't get me started on this!). Somehow, I ended up with these after buying having to buy some (gulp) Monster cables (due...
Well, Jr. is on the way, so that means I have to clear some stuff out. One thing I will mention is the preview LCD screen on the front which can display a separate video source than the one you are watching on your display. Wanted to see what the interest level is on the following: - Fosgate...
Anybody know where I can acquire soem brown jacketed speaker wire? I've searched some of the usual sites like partsexpress.com but came up short. I'm toying with the idea of using some brown lamp cord at 16 ga. It's for about an 8' run for some small Mordaunt-Short speakers powered by a Yamaha...
Two Fridays ago I was helping out a good friend install her HT system which consisted of the following: Marantz SR6300 NHT M5 L/C/R NHT CS 8.3 surrounds Marantz DVD Changer (DV4300 I believe) Philips 34" Widescreen HD CRT and, this cable box that Charter says is Digital Digital, huh...
It's been a damn long time coming, but it has finally happened, Missouri just upset Nebraska 41 - 24. This is just a phenomenal moment in college football, and it's especially great for me as I graduated from Mizzou in '97. I was at the game in '97 when the infamous "kick" happened and Nebraska...
Just wanted to give everyone a quick update as I had originally posted a few weeks ago that I was moving the Monster stuff out and the Heartland Cables stuff in. Just finished hooking everything up tonight, and it all works like a champ. Right, wrong, or indifferent, I did see a noticeable...
This ought to be a fun change of pace. Everyone here can help me absolutely throw away $100 at Best Buy. I used to travel a lot, but not so much anymore, so I am trading in what's left of my Marriott points for a $100 BB gift certificate. I don't need any components, TV's, cables etc. I'm...
This has only been used a handful of times, and was originally purchased just last month (6/20/03) at Ultimate Electronics. Remote, batteries, manual, warranty card, and original cables all come included. I have not registered this product with Panasonic, so I would assume that it could still be...
Please Disregard This has only been used a handful of times, and was originally purchased just last month (6/20/03) at Ultimate Electronics. Remote, batteries, manual, warranty card, and original cables all come included. I have not registered this product with Panasonic, so I would assume...
Basically the short of it is the Elite DV45A does not play the Metallica black album DVD-A correctly. It does not output the center channel or the .1 (LFE). See the link below for full details. After checking connections, setup menus, the dealer's display, I can safely say that there is a...
Alright, I reluctantly picked up the new (old) Metallica black album DVD-A today at BB. Popped it in when I got home, and there was no signal going to my sub. Wait a minute here... Checked all the connections, and everything was fine. Tried my only other DVD-A (Disturbed), and the lfe kicked...
I thought I would give everyone a break from all this talk about DVD players, and start this thread. Here is the situation. I have recently purchased a Yamaha CDC-685 5 disc changer, and have had it running for a couple of weeks. Yesterday, I picked up a Denon DCM-370 from a chain electronics...
I already posted this in AVSForum, but I have to spread the good word. I bought some Swiffer Dusters today and just finished using them to dust my speakers and equipment rack, and these little things are phenomenal. I know it seems hard to get worked up about cleaning, but when you're talking...
Alright, all this buzz about the outgoing Panny DVD players with the Faroujda (sp?) chip has got my dander up. This past winter I dropped close to 5 bills on a Pioneer Elite DV45A, and now I see this Secrets of Home Theater shootout showing the DV45A in nearly last place for video quality, and...
Anyone here have any experiences with any of the DirctTV Dolby Digital surround sound receivers? I've been looking at the new RCA's out, which have a digital out and S-video, and a Samsung model (SIR-75 I believe), which has a digital audio out and component outs for video. From what I...
I've been seeing a lot of posts about ecost.com having this refurbished and that refurbished for a helluva deal. Well, let me tell this - be careful with these guys. They had a Pioneer Elite PD-F27 cd changer for $169, factory reconditioned. I though, why not, that's a screamer of a deal! Well...
I just received my Pioneer Elite PD-F27 CD changer today and hooked it up to my system (45TX receiver via Dig Coax). My question is that when I first fired the thing up and played a couple of cd's it was skipping intermittently, and even stopped playing a disc altogether. After warming up a few...
