Check your receiver to see if you need to specify which digital input to assign to what input. At least I have to do that with my Onkyo...

In the product specs it says: "On-Battery Waveshape: Stepped Sine-wave". Is that good? Also, I obviously have the powerstrip plugged into it for the number of available outlets. How am I supposed to increase the number of outlets if I can't have a strip plugged into the UPS?

Yes, that's what it would seem like. As if someone put a large magnet in the corners of the screen. Like I said, the lightning hit very close - possibly right outside the sliding glass door next to the family room. I turned the TV back on this morning before work and the splotches are gone...

I have a Samsung TXN3075WHF 30" Widescreen HDTV and it's not even a month old. Tonight when I came home from work there was a pretty bad lightning storm going on. I was changing my clothes when a bolt of lightning hit something really close to the house. The power didn't go out or anything and...

Thanks all, I will tackle it this weekend.

I am new to the HT world and have purchased the Onkyo HTS-760 HTIB. Beautiful system! On the powered sub, it has a knob on the back to adjust the 'level'. How do I know if it's optimally set? I don't want it too faint, and not too boomy. Any help would be great!

I'm using a UPS for a couple of reasons: 1. Added protection from dips/spikes in the power. 2. Provides protection from instant off/on situations in the power. I get outages and off/ons alot in Central Florida. 3. Allows equipment to run for the few minutes it takes for me to properly...

I guess I will plug them into a power strip individually then. The order went like this: Onkyo receiver plugged into power strip; plugged into APC BackUPS w/line conditioner + Digital STB plugged into receiver + HDTV STB plugged into Digital STB + Harmon/Kardon DVD player plugged into...

Are there any cons of using the switched power on the different components? Or should I just plug them into a power strip individually?

I will try it both ways this weekend (source direct to display vs. receiver switching) and see if I notice a difference. Thanks for the info...

I also have the HD STB running through it, and I believe they are using 1080i. Am I still safe?

If I recall from the specs in the manual, it might have said it was operating at 50Mhz bandwidth. If so, would I notice a difference if I just ran it straight to the TV instead of sending it through the receiver?

I have just entered the HD/HT world, and boy, am I happy! I purchased the following: Samsung TXN3075WHF 30" Widescreen HDTV Harmon Kardon DVD22 Prog. Scan DVD player Onkyo HTS760 6.1 HTIB and just got setup with Brighthouse HDTV service. I am using the receiver to do the video...

XBOX doesn't output DVD movies in 480p (Progressive), it's still 480i. You are better off getting a progressive scan DVD player.
