Thanks guys I'll try that if you don't think it'll hurt my 8 Ohm speakers. Let me know. My setup: Samsung HLN467W Onkyo TX-NR801 Sony 715 DVD Athena AS-F2 Mains (8 Ohm) Klipsch KG 3.5 Rears (6 Ohm) Using Samsung as Center for now.
I have been experiencing extremely high temperatures on my Onkyo TX-NR801 reciever and am wondering if anyone else has this problem. I have made sure that the speaker Ohms are set correctly and have made sure there is adequate ventilation but it still gets blazing hot. Blazing hot by the way...
Has anyone out there connected their receiver center channel pre-out to an audio input on the TV? I was thinking about doing this so that I could use the internal speakers on my Samsung HLN467W as the center channel. Since the TV has an amplifier built in I was thinking this should work. Give me...
Thanks for the help guys. After you said something about the Ohm setting I went and checked and sure enough it was set at 6. My speakers are some older Klipsch KG 3.5's and their impedance is listed as 6 but just to be safe I set the receiver at 4 ohms and man did it make a difference in the...
Has anyone else on this forum had problems with an Onkyo TXNR801 getting hot? My wife has been watching the TV all day and when I got home I could not touch the top of the receiver. I have noticed that it gets pretty warm sometimes but never this hot. I guess it could be the cabinet that it's...
I have been helping my brother layout a home theater in his new house but the problem is that they have not made any accomodations for a subwoofer placement. As it is they have a built in entertainment center in a room with 10 or 11 ft ceilings. The built in shelves only go about 7 ft high and...
Michael, Yes, the room is open to the kitchen and also has large arched openings to the hallway. The floorplan is very open so there is not much choice in the matter. I'll check out the rocket system but in reallity they just want some added sound for this larger room. My sister-in-law likes...

I've been given the task of helping to design and layout a new HT for my brother and sister-in-laws new house. They have a living area that is approximately 18 x 20 and are having a entertainment center built in to one of the walls. They are not real big into the HT thing but would like to have...
I just did the same thing in a new house and unless you can run the 4 conductor down the middle and then split them for the speaker on each side you'll just be wasting wire. I found that it was just as easy and the wire is cheaper for the 2 conductor. Partsexpress has wire and faceplates cheap...
I've recently started upgrading my HT and am needing a sub for under $500. The CHT-10 at $229 with free shipping seems like a dang good deal but the CHT-12 for $299 seems equally good. My room is 15 x 30 and is all tile with some area rugs. Any suggestions as to which one to buy would be...
I will be getting my new Onkyo TX-NR801 tomorrow and am looking for a little advise for some new speakers. Currently I have an older Bose sub /sat setup and know that I will not be happy with them as I have a new reciever and will want speakers upgraded as well. Any suggestions would be great.
