Check your patch cables to the router/switch. Make sure there solid and working. Check if any of the ports on the switch are bad. --Barry II

If you want great sound from your PC through a receiver then get a Delta 410 from M-Audio http://www.m-audio.net/products/m-audio/delta410.php but there is no way you can simulate 5.1 output with same magnitude as conventional receivers. I'm not even sure there is Dolby Decoder you can purchase...

Thanks for all the responses. I just finally made these placment changes. I positioned the center channel so it actually was in the center! I lined up all the speakers geared towards a single listening position as stated at http://www.dolby.com/ht/Guide.HomeTheater.0110.html except the...

I know my speakers are *cough* not good. But I can't afford right now to upgrade them. Unless $100 could make a big difference. I'd much rather get my existing equipment sounding the best it can. If you look at my equipment list you can see what I have in the way of components. I'd also like to...

Just wanna correct a mistake. A gigabit NIC will not help you unless you connect your computer to equipment that operates that fast. Home users "usually" do not have Gigabit equipment. If you had an internet connection that went that fast I'd have to stay at your house for a few days and...

I can't seem to figure out why people prefer Sound King over something which is just as good. The way I see it they add on words like 99.9% copper. "Flexible PVC"? It's not like everything else is concrete insulated. I hold firm the belief that 12 GA is the same no matter what. So pick some...

I don't see that amp for that price. I see a 120w for $99 Part Number: 300-792, and 250watt for $120. Part number: 300-794

It seems like the argument here is over either the Shiva or the DPL12. There both the same price so which one should I get? I'm still not clear on what amp to buy. --Barry II

I know this is newbie, but I looking at the AVA250 sub-amp and I can't seem to figure out where the RCA from my receiving plugs in to the amp. Which RCA port? http://www.adireaudio.com/diy_audio/...ers/ava250.htm

While looking into my first subwoofer construction I'm noticing most of the woofers are rated at 4 ohms, but all my the speakers are rated at 8 ohms. Does this matter since the subwoofer amp is independent of the receiver? --Barry II

Thanks for the response. 1) I'd like to keep it under under $300 if its possible. If I really should spend more I'll try to prepare myself. 2) As I'm looking at my monitor I'd say about its size or bigger. So: 19x19x19. 3) No I don't :) 4) 99% home theater use. 5) I'd prefer not...

Anyone here have experience building a subwoofer? I heard of people who have do it and I'm wondering if I could get some pointers on what to do. First maybe picking out the woofer I want. I know I want at least an 10" sub. I can handle the other aspects later. --Barry II

So are you saying I should disregard whether a TV has a flat-tube and just go for a TV that has the features I want and get it. I'd like to know if any people on the forum have these particular model TVs and what they think of them: Panasonic 27D12D JVC AV27D104 Phillips 27PS55S --Barry II

How much better, picture-wise, is a flat-tube television? I like the prices and features I'm finding on 27-inch TVs but none of them have flat-tubes. Another aspect that seems to stand out is the varying lines of resolution between TVs. How much of a difference can that make? Is 600 a minimum or...

I'm looking to get a new television for less than $350. I definitely want component video(S-Video seems to come with it but not necessary). 20-inch minimum. Sound is not an issue because I'll use my receiver. What suggestions to you guys have? Of course I'm looking for a clear picture. I did...
