Thanks Wayne! That's what I wanted to hear! One last question. Turns out that my DVD player does have an optical output as well as the coax output. Will I have a noticeable difference in using the coax versus the optical? Cause I would really like to be able to have the XBox hooked up the the...
OK, I went looking around at lunch today and stumbled across the Yamaha YHT-270 HTIB. It has 2 optical inputs and one coaxial input. It does not come with a DVD player, but I already have an older one that I can connect via component cables until I get a progessive scan one. So, would this...
Thanks Wayne. Actually, that cable box has a coaxial output and an optical one as well. I figured that the optical would provide the best performance. Do you happen to know of any HTIBs with the all hookups needed? Also, if and when I do find the right HTIB, would I not use the HDMI on the...
Thanks for the replies Ed and Wayne. Ed, that Pioneer is a decent unit, but it has a little too much of a gamer vibe for me, since it is setup for the 360. This will be going in the living room of my home, so I want a black and/or silver setup if at all possible. Ed/Wayne, what all hookups...
I'm relatively new to the HT thing, so take it easy on me.:D I have decided to go with a simple/basic HTIB setup that has the DVD incorporated with the receiver. I know that that is not the ideal setup, but this is for a very simple layout (hopefully) that is not likely to see any more...
Thanks for the response. But that would require me to have the receiver on any time I want to watch a DVD or play the gaming console, correct? I would prefer that be optional. Any way to accomplish that? If I have to sell my Kenwood setup, then that is what I'll do. I'd probably replace it...
I have just ordered a new 40" JVC HDTV model #LT-40X667. It's inputs include 2 S-video, 2 HDMI, 2 component, and 3 composite. I will be using this with a Time-Warner HD cable box, most likely a SA8300HD. I also have an older RCA dvd player which I believe has component outputs (haven't moved the...
You are correct, it is 100x3. I was reading the wrong brochure. At a later date, I may pick up a matching 3 piece front set and just run my Technics on the B terminals. Thanks for the reply!
Thanks for the reply. If it is going to be that big of a headache to get a decent center channel to go with my fronts, I will probably just run it in phantom mode and for-go(sp?) the center channel at this time. I certainly don't want to get rid of my front cabinets. Happen to know if Technics...
I am in need of a center channel speaker that can handle the 150 watts that my receiver throws at the front 3 speakers. However, I need this speaker to be no more than 4.75" tall due to clearance issues. I also need it to be in the "very affordable" category. I have found a few that fit the size...
