    Harman Kardon AVR147

    Ok so I got a component cable for Christmas and hooked it up as my monitor cable to the TV. Still no luck. Do I have to do any setup and select the component monitor out as the designated one?

    Harman Kardon AVR147

    I tried hooking up my PS2 through my AVR147 first through the composite input then through the component input. I cannot get video through the receiver, yet when I hook it up directly to the tv (toshiba 27" CRT) I get video. My monitor out from my AVR147 is through S-video. If I hook up through...

    PVR 5100 optical out not working

    OK so I just talked to Bell ExpressVu and they said that the optical signal should always be on. So there has to be something wrong with the receiver.

    PVR 5100 optical out not working

    I talked to a friend fo mine and he said that it might not produce dolby audio unless its a 5.1 movie or show that I am watching. Is that a possibility?

    PVR 5100 optical out not working

    Nope no red light at the end of the tunnel lol. I bought this PVR used, so what are the chances that the optical is probably fried?

    PVR 5100 optical out not working

    Its my satellite recorder. I went under dolby digital in the menu and it comes up with the 3 following selections: 1. dolby digital only 2. pcm only 3. dolby digital/pcm I have tried all 3 and nothing comes out. What are the chances that the optical output is dirty with dust?

    PVR 5100 optical out not working

    I cant seem to get my optical to work on my pvr. I know its not the cable because I got 2 new cables and swapped them. I also know its not the receiver because its a brand new Harman Kardon AVR147. Does anyone know what else to do?

    I hooked them up and they sound OK. Not like they did at the store. What are the chances that they had everything at full. LIke the sub on max and the volume up at max? Also what about having a different receiver than what they said they had hooked up?

    Subwoofer on hardwood or carpet

    I just bought a set of Harman Kardon HKTS-15 speakers with a 100W down firing ported sub. The port is to the rear of the sub enclosure. The receiver I am using is a Harman Kardon AVR-147. Is it better to have the sub on the hardwood floor or have a small rug under it?

    Precision Acoustics Speakers?

    So they would be a satisfactory speaker to get for an entry level system till I get my student loans paid off. I am thinking of getting some Paradigm speakers after a few years. I am going to go for a sound test this upcoming weekend to listen and see what they are like. Anything is better...
