Apparently, Netflix is offering an new service where you buy a LG Blu Ray player for $399 and it allows you to download movies for play to your TV. The add says the Player must be pluged into a eithernet cable - no wireless connection will work. Question: Can you "hard wire" the LG...

I need some more KICK from my HT receiver - Onkyo 130 X 7. ...My fronts are JBL 15 inch, compression drivers and slot tweets. Anyway, I'm looking at Crown amps 802 series with 500 watts per side into 8 ohms that I would run from the pre-amp outs on the Onkyo. They only concern I have...

I have an old Denon 3300 receiver that is rated at 105 watts into 8 ohms at THD .05%. The spec sheet from Denon says the receiver will accept speaker loads from 6 to 16 ohms but the maximum power rating is not provided into 16ohms. I am considering the purchase of a set of 16 ohm speakers...

Does anyone have these in their home? They seem like a steel at less than $600 each. http://www.performanceaudio.com/cgi/...oducts_id=1254

Long ago, I had a pair of Altec voice of the theater speakers with 15 inch drivers and cast horns. Their sensativity rating was 98DB with 1 watt at 3 feet. A smallish amp of 80 watts or so was sufficent to raise the roof. Anyway, I have since bought a set of Klipcsh home speakers which I...

OK, so I bought a media PC recently on the basis that it should provide more flexibility and features than buying separate components like an external BD player, external DVD recorder, etc. for my HT system. Are PC-based systems growing in popularity? I thought I read enough before the PC...

My gut tells me this is a dumb idea but here goes. I have 6 Klipsch speakers (4 floors, 1 center, 1 sub) set up in a room now with a 7.1 Onkyo 805 receiver. In another room, I have 5 Premier Accustics speakers that are OK but are not my favorite drivers. Anyway, two of the PAs are smallish...

I have a two Denons and an Onkyo receiver. I can't use any of them without referring to hunded page manuals. There is no reason to design products so consumers are unable to use them. Unfortunately, this has become the norm today.

I'm trying to set up an Onkyo SR 805 receiver. When I use the mic to calibrate the 5 channel speakers, the unit shuts down to standby mode. I have tried this several times with the same result. I'm following the directions in the manual.

I can't seem to turn on the sub-woofer in two different systems: 1. Denon - w. Premier Accoustics sub 2. Onkyo - w. Klipsch sub Both subs are powered by their own built-in amp. Both receivers are using rca cables to connect powered sub woofer OUT connections. Both units are on...

OK so I'm trying to integrate my new media PC with my HT. At times, I will want to work on the PC and watch TV too, so I plan on buying a seperate 20-22 inch PC monitor for that purpose. My Sony TV has HDMI in and out. My PC video card has a single HDMI out, however. The PC video card also...

Well my 10 year old Denon 3300 bit the dust this week so I ordered an Onkyo SR 805 receiver which I am currently trying to get up and running. I have two questions: 1. Can I mount this in an open glass TV table with 8.25 inch high shelves? The unit is 7.5 inches tall and user reviews I have...

I recently bought a high end media PC with a Blu Ray player. I will likely add a second optical device to the PC for recording Blu Ray. My system includes is LCD, HD cable DVR, 7.1 sound, etc. I have not set up the PC yet - still connecting wires, cables, etc. Recently, I came across a...
