I have found the solution... I discovered I had an RCA adapter, plugged L/R into the outputs of the TV, plugged the mini-jack end into the Sennheiser transmitter cord and bingo -- sound from the TV. It's rare that it happens, but it's always nice to discover a cheap, easy solution to...

Hey, thanks for the post. I appreciate the info. But I am wondering then is if I could simply use such an adaptor with my Sennheiser transmitter... run the RCA L/R outputs from the TV into the adaptor, then plug the adapter into the transmitter? Then I wouldn't have to spring for new...

I just installed a Sony 27-inch TV in the bedroom, and for this setup I want to keep it as simple and as cheap as possible -- there is a DVD player, but I do not want to add a receiver. I want to use wireless headphones with this setup, but there are no headphone jacks, so the Sennheisers I have...

Lee, I'd read somewhere in these forums that Athena recommends Omnimounts for their speakers... not sure if that is true or not... but the Omnimounts I've looked at (RC1 A/H) do not look sturdy enough. I have spotted the discontinued SST-2234s a couple of places online for as low about...

James, Thanks for the advice. I bought the speakers at Best Buy... I was pleasantly surprised that BB actually carried a brand that during my research I found everyone raving about. As far as the speaker stands, Athena tells me they are discontinued -- they didn't like the looks of the...

I recently bought a pair of Athena AS-F1 floorstanding speakers, and they came with a set of "feet" (not sure the proper terminology) that appear to be optional. Is the purpose to steady them, or to set them up higher from the carpet to improve the sound? Either way, what are the pros and cons...

Thanks, I'll try that. I was connecting the DVDR to "DVD in" because it has a digital (coax) and "Video 1" does not. (Another DVD player is connected to "Video 2," which also has digital audio inputs.) I guess there will have to be a tradeoff somewhere...

I have had a Philips DVD recorder (DVDR75) connected directly with a TV and a Philips Directivo. It worked great. But I recently added a home theater a/v receiver, and can’t figure out how to integrate the DVDR into the system. It plays DVDs fine, but I can’t get it to record from the Tivo ...

I have my Directv Tivo (Philips) connected to a Philips DVD recorder. Works great.

Thanks, Brian. I have tried all three settings, with no difference. When I look at "disc navigator," which shows the track listening, it is all listed in "2 ch." Uh oh... "O Brother" is my first SACD and I just noticed it is listed as "SACD stereo." Is there such an animal as an SACD that is...

OK, you pros, what is this newbie doing wrong? DVD-Audio is playing just fine through my Pioneer DV-563A, but I get only 2 channel sound playing the "O Brother" SACD. It's hooked up to a Sony receiver, analog inputs, set to multichannel. Is there something easy and obvious I'm not doing? Thanks...

Hi, Terry, I appreciate your insightful comments. Good point about two-channel stereo... we do sometimes get carried away with this stuff, don't we? I will do most of my listening in two-channel, but considering the DVD-Audio/SACD player I have arriving on Monday, I do want to be able to take...

Thanks for the comment. One of my problems is there is no rear wall... it is an "elevated" room, with only a railing behind the seating area. Although it might be possible to bounce the sound off the side walls. I should mention, too, that this will be primarily for music... there is another...

Because of the details of my room, which I won't go into here, there is no way I can put my surround speakers behind the main listening area -- and if I put them directly to the sides one would be only a couple of feet away from were I will sit... just not ideal. Am I better off putting them a...
