    Video Upconverter Question?

    Wow your right, just a quick look around for some prices I come up with 500 being the lowest for a used unit on eBay. Dang what a disappointment. It is going to drive me nuts not being able to have the best output-ed resolution from these new games. Thanks for your help, looks like I will try...

    Video Upconverter Question?

    Well I must have bought the one tv that does not do this. :-( Its a Mitsubishi that I bought from best buy. I don't have the exact model right now. I know it does not because my current xbox was displaying this resolution and my tv just was going crazy. (and yes I do mean 720p my mistake) So I...

    Video Upconverter Question?

    I have a widescreen HD tv that I bought about 2 years ago. It does not appear to support 780P. I am kind of a video game guy and plan on getting the new xbox360 that outputs all games at 780p and some at 1080i. Is there something I can get to upconvert the 780p to 1080i so i can enjoy the 780...

    My setup and location of rear speakers.

    Well I don't even have much room to put the speaker behind my couch. My couch is against the side and back wall in the corner. I am doing to try and put them on the sides and maybe angle them down a little. I will play with it and report what I find works best. Nick

    My setup and location of rear speakers.

    I have a fairly small living room. (dont have dementions) I have jbl setup all the way around and a yamaha 2400 powering everything. It sounds very good! The only thing that I dont like is that I cant hear my surround speakers very well. Seems like my old crapy setup with $30 surround speakers...

    Anyone Wanting To Sell JBL Surround Speakers?

    I am using the Yamaha 2400. I would not think that reciever would underpower these speakers. I have had partys and have turned up the music very very loud. If anything I probably blew it out. TooHuge

    Anyone Wanting To Sell JBL Surround Speakers?

    I was playing with my system last night and during the test I realized that one of my surround speakers sounded really low. I took it off the wall and looked at the top tweeter and it was cracked. Also no sound is coming from the woofer on it. I hooked it up to a diff channel and it sounded the...

    Receiver with "Sleep" option?

    My Yamha 2400 has a sleep option. And my tv turns off after 5min if there is no video signal and I got my dvd player in the switching outlet on the reciever so it works out great for me! Nick.S

    Yamaha RX-V1400 Video Conversion Question

    If I am not mistaking the 1400 only does composite to svideo and back. I dont think it takes composite or svideo to component. As far as losing video quality going through a receiver, I think it very very minimal. In fact I have not even noticed and loss. Nick

    Used amp and Subs

    Well I got it hooked up to what I think it correct. And wow does it sound good. I went from a kenwood 120 by 1 amp and mtx thunder 5000 10's to a mtx amp that is 80 by 2 (bridged) and mtx thunder 5000 12's. Huge diff!!! My bass gets a lot lower now and I can feel it a lot more! I have to turn...

    Used amp and Subs

    I just bought a uses amp and subs from a buddy. The amp is a MTX 4160 4ch. He was using it to push his subs and front speakers. For now I only want to use it for my subs. (maybe rear speakers someday) I am unsure about my options for hooking this up. Does anyone happen to have this amp and...

    Need 6x9's and amp

    I sold my subs amp and crossover a few months ago. I am only running front speakers and front tweeters. It sounds very very plain. I need some nice 6x9's and a amp. I don’t really want to spend to much but want it to be loud and clear. If I could get some good bass from the 6x9's that would be...

    Sub is very quiet?

    Thanks for all of the replys! I will take the time and calibrate everything tonight. I have just a few more questions.. What does it mean when you set the speakers to large or small? Also I know this is the wrong forum, but does the yamaha 2400 have a EQ built in somewhere? Was wondering if this...

    Sub is very quiet?

    I do have a calibration disc, and I just purchased a analog spl meter from radio shack. I just need to spend some time and calibrate everything. My sub just has so many conections on the back I did not know if there was a better way to hook it up. Thanks Nick.S

    Sub is very quiet?

    I just bought a new home theater system. All JBL e90 fronts ec-35 center and e10's for the sides and my sub is the 250p. This is getting pushed by a Yamaha 2400. To be quite honest I am a little disappointed with it all. It can get crazy loud and it still very clear I just have a hard time...

    anyone using receiver upconversion (to component)???

    I got my new receiver last Friday! (Yamaha 2400) I would agree the up conversion seems to work great! On the temp receiver I was using it only had composite-svideo conversion and it looked really really bad. I am using all svideo and component now. I am sure converting composite to component or...
