I have had this receiver since it came out with no problems. I have it in an entertainment center with the entire back exposed for ventilation. In the last 2 days, for no reason, the thing shuts off during playback. Its not immediate, maybe after 30 minutes or so. I plug it back in the first...

As some of you know, you can turn overscan off in the service menu on the Samsung 87 series DLP's. The problem is, it doesnt stick. There is a code given to ISF calibrators to get into the service menu without having to turn the set off (therefore the settings dont reset) Someone on another...

Hi everyone, In my new house I will be building a new HT room in the basement. I have an HSU vtf3 and I love base. It will be a smaller size, 13x17 or so. I am a new DIY so I have done some reading which of course confused me even more. Option 1: 2x4 sleeper subfloor. carpeted Option 2...

Hey everyone, Im finishing a basement and I can partition a room for a dedicated theater room. I have a 7.1(swans + HSU VTF3) and I am planning on a 50 inch DLP. Since this will be a basement, Im not sure what kind of ceiling or floor to use. What do you guys recommend? I was thinking of...

I got my VTF3=MKII yesterday and got it hooked up, it was cake. Do any of you use the phase control? I am a little confused by that and its use. I have it all the way down to 30. Let me just say that this sub is so accurate I cant believe it. I had a polk sub and while that was ok for the...

Im trying to pick a sub out, many companies offer a rosewood sub but my Swan divas are Black cherry. Would it look weird to mix them? The sub will be behind my couch so it will not be next to the mains. The black is a bit dull and the rosewood is sweet. The hsu vtf3 is the same price as the...

My pioneer 1014 came today. I hooked up my Swan 5.2/2.1/C3 system today and I am really happy with them. The best way I can describe them is you get all the detail without the harshness. The C3 is bigger than I thought and very detailed, you arent going to miss anything with this baby. The 5.2s...

I am not having a good HT day. Half my swans get here today and they were left outside in the rain by fed ex. I go to turn my new 1014 on and everytime I turn the volume up the receiver turns off. I have a PS2 as my DVD which is connected via optical cable. I get to about -20 to -1 and...

Hi everyone, I finally did it, I finally ordered a receiver. I went with the pioneer vsx-1014. I got it from Vanns and the weight on the UPS tracking is 26 pounds. I have heard 39 pounds but that is not correct. Just thought I'd let you know. Me, I could care less, I finally have a...

If the RS750 are compared to the paradigm studio 100's what paradigm studio would you compare the 550 to?

For night time listening?

Assuming you were looking at Paradigm studio's. If you had to choose between the Studio 20/40 or 60 for fronts. 95% HT. Yamaha 2400 receiver(probably)Decent sub (svs or HSU) The 20's go down to 54hz. The 40's go down lower but whats the point If your crossing over at 80hz? Not too mention I...

My room is 20x16 with 2 openings. One small windows into the kitchen, one pretty large into the dining room. I am pairing this up with paradigm speakers, Monitor 7’s/CC-370. The receiver will be a Yamaha 2400(probably). I have listened to the paradigm sub, the pw-2200. It sounded ok but I was...

I read somewhere that pioneer is coming out with PIIx receivers. Does anyone know If these are Elite or when the new Elites with be announced?

Hi everyone, I am considering a new Paradigm system. I was wondering If the genereal concensus here was to go the extra mile with the ADP 370's as opposed to the mini monitors. What Im thinking is instead of the monitor 5's, I may be able to go studio 40 instead. Wouldnt the money be better...
