I'm actually surprised you're getting a good enough signal at all with a non-active 50' cable. I do however think you've exceeded the limits, you will lose a certain amount of signal strength through the receiver and then compounding that with I assume a total of 62' of non-active cables as...

If I were you I would just run the Roku directly to the TV and then run an optical cable from the TV output, which it most likely has, back to your current receiver for audio. Since you're only going to get lossy audio from a Roku as far as I'm aware of then you don't lose anything in this...

I'd try a network reset first instead of a full reset. Here's a helpful post, or thread really for all things pertaining to the 2015 Denon models...

Besides it's past quality problems they bought out Pioneer. They've dumped Audyssey for their own inferior AccuEQ calibration. The upper flagship models, RZ3100 and RZ1100, are near identical to the Pioneer flagship and it's quite apparent that the Pioneer division was the source behind the...

Yamaha does have the reputation of being the reliability leader although I haven't seen the numbers comparing the brands. Take a look at the Aventage series starting with the RX-A860. The best deal right now is the Denon X4200W which is on closeout at a number of places like Amazon...

Are you using the same receiver that's sending the signal through all your tests at home? A number of receivers have more than one sub out connection, did you try the other one if it does?

I'm using four of these for my height speakers, sounds great to me but I don't claim to be an audiophile. I bought them manufacturer refurbished for $125 ea. off ebay, same seller has them up to $195 now unfortunately.

If you have an old AVR that still works I'd personally use that instead of spending money on another amp. I was using my old Onkyo SR706 to drive the 4 ceiling speakers from a Yamaha A3040. As far as a separate amp I know a number of people on AVS are using the Audiosource AMP-100VS...

No the X4200 cannot do 7.2.4. It's a 7.2 channel amp with 9.2 channel processing, so with an external 2 channel amp the most you will get is 5.2.4 or 7.2.2.

I frequent the threads over in another popular forum that I won't name. The most common recommendation for the 2 channel amp is the Audiosource http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Source-AMP100VS-Channel-Amplifier/dp/B00ZSEFU94/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1456334690&sr=8-2&keywords=audiosource+amp+100 It's...

I really "need" a Atmos capable receiver, can't wait to hear it for the first time.

8th times a charm? My odds have got to be getting better right? Sure would like to win this, my ceiling speakers are in place and waiting to shine. So excited to hear Atmos for the first time. Ideally I'd like to go 7.1.4 but from what I'm seeing currently for receiver pricing it's going to...

Forrest Gump. I still have to watch that movie at least a couple times a year.

My ideal setup would be 7.1.4 which this would do nicely with an additional 2ch. external amp. Perhaps third time is a charm to win? I really didn't want the Onkyo anyway :)

To be honest my ideal atmos setup would be 7.1.4 but I would gladly make the "sacrifice" to 5.1.4 if I won this. My old Onkyo gave up the ghost about a year ago and I replaced it with a cheap Yamaha, really miss my Onkyo though. I'd like to build a dedicated home theater room instead of the...

Iron Man, maybe I could try out one of the suits after the rescue. :)

I've installed my ceiling speakers about two months ago and have been saving up for the receiver. Winning this would surely make saving up for it not necessary and I could repurpose what I have for something else I want. Of course I wouldn't tell the wife I won it and still had the money. ;)

I bought my mother a Samsung BluRay player that I hooked up via HDMI. For no reason at all the audio suddenly went out but you still had video. I confirmed through troubleshooting that it was the HDMI out of the player. So it is possible to have video without audio, and I'm sure vice versa, via...

I'm no expert but I would say you have a defective receiver or bad HDMI sat output. It doesn't say in your post whether you have anything else hooked up via HDMI that has the same issue or not. You can try a different HDMI input connection on the receiver to see if the problem persists and try...

I can't help you on speakers as that's my own personal dilemma. I know you can get the Mirage nanosat/omnisat/OS3 in white as well as the Definitive Cinema's but I can't tell you how they sound. For the receiver I'm very happy with the Onkyo TX-SR706 and is really a good deal for the money...

Johnny, yes that's all I see. I think I've pretty much decided on the SVS sub from all the reviews I have read, although I'll probably have to go with the entry level box type because of size. The SVS surrounds are kind of big for my areas so I'm still trying to get some feedback on others out...

Thanks for the link. I do have speakers on the side also as I have a 7.1 setup like so THX Home Theater 7.1 Speaker System Layout Not exactly like the link, such as my backs are much closer to my listening area and not 60 degrees due to the fact that the Mrs. has an input into where the...

$1200 is my target. The area I live in is semi remote so internet ordering is pretty much the only option with no chance to listen to anything before hand. I have a Best Buy here but they don't stock most of the stuff they sell online and what little they do have the items are either not hooked...

I recently upgraded my receiver to an Onkyo TX-SR706 to get the benefits of 7.1 audio. My speaker system is about 10 years old now (Sony SA-VE305 micro satellite) with the exception on 2 new Polk cheapies (RM6751) that I added for the extra channels. While there was an audio difference from my...

Hi, my mothers receiver went dead recently which was an RCA home theater in a box (HTIB) system. I recently updated my receiver so I replaced it with my old one, a Sony STR-DB930. The sub from the HTIB is unpowered and only has one set of +/- terminals like a regular speaker. The Sony receiver...
