sorry wrong forum...

hi, my dvd player is this cheap generic one that cost around $50. It has multi channel output as well as digital outputs (coax and optical). When i connect the multi output to a yamaha receiver (rx450), there's sound. But when I do it with the coax, no sound. Checked dvd setup (audio =...

I got this pre-owned Sony 32" Trinitron. It's been working fine for a year except that last week i noticed that the picture has somehow dropped, ie 25% of the top screen is blank and I can't see the bottom 25%, like subtitles, etc. and also the picture is not a perfect rectangle anymore but a...

Hi, I'm just starting to buy components for my home theater. I am choosing between 2 brands of loudspeakers that's right for my budget: Wharfedale: Center 120 watts, 6ohms $81 Front/surround 100watts, 6ohms $100/pair Subwoofer 150w $160 Gale: Center: 100watts, 4-8ohms, $75 Front...

Ok guys, i just bought this new receiver and i'm really nervous that i'll do something stupid and break it. What , besides plugging it in the wrong voltage, will permanently damage a receiver? Thanks

Due to lack of space in my shelf, can i place the receiver vertically. Are there gonna be any damaging consequences? Thanks

Thanks for all the responses I guys. I am learning. Jon W is right, I would have gotten better and more direct advice if i specified the receivers brand and model. Thanks Jon W. However, i did learn a lot. Thanks. Here's why i asked the question: I got 3 offers to buy pre-owned receivers...

John Garcia, you are right. Maybe I should limit it to top receiver brands under $500. Thanks for the clarification. Kevin, you made a very interesting point. My aim really was to be able to focus on the brands because i'm shopping for a receiver right now. I'm overwhelmed by the number of...

Mark, thanks for the education. so i'm looking at the wrong things. James, how can i check if the receiver can handle it? thanks guys

Guys, i was referring to receiver brands :-)

in comparing 2 receivers, 1 has higher wattage (115 vs 85) while the other has higher resistance (8 ohms vs 6). Which would u pick, the one with higher wattage but lover ohms or the other one? Thanks

In doing research to shop for a receiver got me a little confused. I was looking at Yamaha RX-450. One spec sheet says: 6.1-Channel,750W Powerful Surround Sound (125W x 6) while another sheet (both are from the yahama site) says: 6.1-Channel, 510W Powerful Surround Sound (85W x 6). Same with...

In terms of overall quality, which brands would be your top 3?

Thank you. It is very helpful and very much appreciated.

Thanks for the help guys. questions: 1. what is THD? 2. What are the 3 most critical things i should look for when comparing receivers? Once again, all help is appreciated by this newbie enthusiast.

Hi, I am no expert in these systems and would appreciate help from the experts here. Which is better and why? Here are the specs: RX-V350 Main Specifications [AUDIO SECTION] Maximum Power (6 ohms, 1 kHz, 10% THD) Front Channels 110 W + 110 W Center Channel 110 W Surround...

Thanks for the advice. I'm also leaning towards the DTS-able receiver. I'm no techie I just want to understand what makes the 793 so much more expensive (original price here is $600) than the 350. It doesnt have to be Yamaha but it's the only brand on sale here at the moment.

I am choosing between a pre-owned Yamaha RXV793 (@ $180) or a brand new Yamaha RXV 350 (@ $250.)? I am leaning towards the 793 but I'm not happy about it not having DTS. Any advice? Thanks. PS: RX-V350 Main Specifications [AUDIO SECTION] Maximum Power (6 ohms, 1 kHz, 10% THD)...
