I have a few issues with the trilogy for which I hope can ratified with a dvd exchange and some can't. 1) A New Hope only plays in 5.1 when the other 2 dvd's play in DD EX 2) A very noticable audio stutter between frames at the start of each dvd. A New Hope Blockade Runner...

I'm using Ixos XHV704 Component Cable and I also have Ixos XHD308 Optical cable on standby at the moment. I'm waiting for the delivery of my receiver: Pioneer VSXD912-S. My current receiver: Pioneer VSXD209 has only analogue inputs, so I can't comment on the Optical cable at this time. But I...

I set my speakers up using the Golden triangle method. Tools: Tape Measure, String, Push pins, Plumbob, 180 degree Protractor Tip: Use either cellotape or Blutack to a plumbob on a string to the top of the center speaker, so it falls down the middle of the tweeter. 180 degree...

Energy Veritas 2.4i "floorstanding speakers"..

I have tested moviestar 70+ series. For value for money the product is worth it. The center and surrounds are ideal for a living room but I have ??? on the low powered subwoofer which to me sounded boomy rather than a deep bass. The speaker stands they come with are hollow to allow the speaker...
