My favorite classic FM radio station (K-Mozart) has switched to HD. I fail to see the logic of HD in that all I can find available are table top radios. So it is suppose to sound great on a little tinny table top radio? Maybe they're not tinny, but I want to continue listening to the station on...

The antenna is mounted very strangely. It is on a 10' mast which about half of it comes into the office and is attached by plastic ties to the aluminum framing of the windows. So, yes, it touches metal. Not sure about the antenna itself touching metal since I removed several of the wires holding...

Lew, this is a very late reply to your comments. What is RG6? I'm somewhat convinced that atmospheric conditions have a major effect on my TV and FM reception. Though the weather here has varied a lot lately, the reception for both has been great. And since I've not switched the FM to the TV...

Being an old guy I didn't have a computer until 'much later in life'. At least this is my excuse for many electronic items not being intuitive for me. I personally like a hard copy, but sure would make a few changes to the Onkyo TX-SR603X receiver's instruction manual. An example was getting the...

Boy is my face red. Yesterday for the first time in two weeks I turned on the Zone 2 speakers, and hark!, my sub woofer started making sounds. Seems as how I had SW plugged into the Zone 2 sub woofer slot rather than Pre Out. Certainly adds to the mix. Thanks for hanging in there with me. Biba

Boy I've sure not been keeping up with this at all. Today I accidentally figured out how to go through all of the various configurations for the setup. Along the way (not a clue how) the rear speakers began working. I'll go back and revisit the (I believe this is correct) Input Setup. I did get...

This one is so inappropriate to this forum I'm almost too embarrassed to ask, but... With an attic TV antenna for my Sony FD Trinitron Wega and the strange white FM antenna which came with my Onkyo TX-SR603X receiver, most of the time I get 'pretty good' reception on both. Lately the receiver...

Once again somewhat sorry to bother you high end home theater guys, but my lowly Onkyo TX-SR603X (using six speakers + subwoofer) receiver's instruction manual has two pages of delightful ways I can set-up my listening modes, the title/subject being one. Unfortunately they give no instructions...

Steve, I'm not sure if you are addressing me or Randy in your latest post, but as mentioned I have $83 (less shipping) 'invested' in my DVD player and more than that in cables. As long as I can get consistent color by 'adding' the S-video cable (not saying it isn't a work-around) I'm fine...

Steve, how could you even insinuate my $83 refurb DVD player could possibly have a defect? Yes, I'm of course kidding (but not about the price and refurb bit) and would be concerned if I couldn't have color DVD's at all. My VEGA is a KV-27FS1000 (which I'll add I bought used - hey, we're not all...

Adam, if my comments made it sound unappreciative, I certainly apologize. As it is, I feel very privileged for having two very informed members of this forum lending a hand. I'm sure you both have figured out I have not a clue what each cable actually does, so now at least have a hint...

Nag, nag. Among numerous wires (from previous vintage non-surround sound set-up) I removed today I figured I might as well pull the S-video cable from the receiver to the TV since I was assured by my new best friend in life, Adam, it was redundant. After all the other redundant stuff was out of...

Adam, again thanks much. A bit ago I switched the component video cables to go to the TV from the DVD player and as you already know, they work fine and of course it continues to work like a champ as a CD player. So I should just pull the S-video cable from the receiver to the TV out...

Wow guys, I'd checked back the first day, saw nothing and assumed my little piddly situation didn't warrant a reply. Thank you both very much for your helpful comments. I'll start by saying that though the TV reception is somewhat iffy here (though considerably better with the attic installed...

This being my first post I'll mention I have a pretty humble set-up - Onkyo TX-SR603X receiver; Onkyo DV-CP702 DVD player; Onkyo SKS-HT240 speakers; 27" Sony Wega. My priorities are first FM, CD's, TV (no cable or satellite); watching DVD's. I live and work in my shop restoring Alfas. The...
