I bought an Onkyo TX-NR900 and it's great. Trouble is that all the sound mosed sound awesoem and I trully can't tell the difference between them. For example, Lord of the Ringd Extended version has the DTS 6.1 Discrete sound setting, the end all of codecs, right? Sounds great yes, but I really...

I bought a cable signal booster (pretty good one) and was wondering where the most ideal placmanet would be for it? Should I find the closest point of source, near where it enters the house? Should I boost it right before it gets split? Boost it right near the TV? Thanks.

I've read several posts about the 2 and have seen conflicting info. Here is my situation: I have a 4 year old Toshiba DVD player that has an optical output that I am using. I just bought a nice Onkyo receiver (TX-NR900) that supports practically every format out there. If I want the best...

For example, BestPriceAudioVideo.com has great prices on their recievers, but at the end of the model number a (B) is shown. what does that represent?

I am trying to reset my Sony 19" Trinitron KV-19TS20 (bought in June of 1991). I lost the remote and cannot access the menu. There is no reset switch on the back near the video plugs. I tried a universal remote and had no luck. I'm willing to open up the TV and flip a switch if I have to, but I...

I just got a 7.1 receiver and bought Paradigm ADP-170 (2 pairs) for the rear and surround. The house I am moving into has a lot of wall space in the living room, which is good. The only negative is that the left wall will be further away from the central seating area than the right wall. I am...

I want to purchase 2 pairs of these speakers for my surrounds and rears. I only have one dealer in my area that sells em. I'm looking for any dealer that will ship them and offer me a good deal. Let me know if any of you have any good contacts/shops. On a side note, I'll be needing wall...

I am investigating new receivers. I am replacing an Onkyo SV-909Pro, purchased about 8 years ago. I think I want to get a 7.1 system, but I see some manufacturers (like Yamaha have 6.1). Basically, I'd like to see a comparison between the best receivers in the $1100 - $1500 price range. I am...

Does anyone know of any guides online that will assist me with this? I have the courage, but not the knowledge. Basically I need to run about 40 feet of wire to the rear speakers, going over a vaulted ceiling and half way down the rear wall. I don't really know what my strategy should be when...

I'm getting close to getting a new reciever, so I went to a local stereo shop to see what he had. The ownwer told me he had met with a rep who was puching a line of Integra recievers. He said they were 'better model' Onkyos. When he showed me the brochure, I got a look at the rear of the unit...

There was a day when I had a godlike home theater, back in 1995. Times have changed and it is time to get some new equipment. My front speakers and Center were all top of the line Paradigm (Paradigm 11se), most closely matching the Paradigm Legend speaker, with a matching center. I want to...
