    Need advice for good quality DVD recorder/player

    Looking to buy a new DVD recorder/player soon. I currently have a Sony combo VCR/DVD (SLV-D350P) and I'm not overly impressed with the DVD video playback. I'm using component cables going to a Panny 47x54. It's not bad just thought it would be better. So anyway I got the itch to buy a DVD...

    Volume control problem with Scientific Atlanta HD and HK receiver cable box

    Using SPL meter

    Where do I find the AVIA disc? Do I need the disc to set up the system correctly or can I use the test button on my HK AVR230?

    HK AVR 230--what cable should I use??

    I'm easily confused by the simplest things so I need some help here. I have an AVR 230 that I use on a 5.1 setup with Ascend speakers, using mostly cable box and DVD. I can use either standard RCA, coaxial or optical cable. Can some easily explain the differences and benefits of each? Right now...
