    APPLE TV or AIRPLAY

    I also have the Apple TV (latest). I really like it. I had the original Apple TV and found that to be rather buggy. I mostly use it to stream Itunes from my Mac G5 to my Pioneer VSX-21. My daughter uses it for streaming Netflix movies and it seems to work pretty well. My only complaint is that I...

    Picking a 'Dual Zone' reciever

    I bought the Pioneer VSX 21 TXH in November and that has two zones. I just recently began to use it and it works great. My daughter can be watching something on the TV and I can have music playing through my Apple TV/ Itunes on the patio at the same time. No separate amp is needed. I belive the...

    Looking to upgrade my Onkyo Prehistoric Receiver to match my NHT 2.5i's HELP!

    I have the Pioneer Elite VSX 21 TXH and I absolutely love it. It was easy to set up and the MCACC has added a totally new dimension to the surround sound. With Blu ray and the Pioneer receiver my home movie experience has gone up to another level. I don't know what complaints other people have...

    Sony DVD recorder question

    You are correct. I need to finalize the disc. Only problem is that I bought the DVR from Best Buy as a clearance item with no remote. So I ordered a remote yesterday from Newremotecontrol.com. Hopefully when I get that it will solve that problem.

    Not sure, how do you finalize the disc? It plays fine on this player, but no other player.

    Sony DVD recorder question

    Not sure if this is the right forum for this question. I bought a Sony DVD recorder last year. Specifically to record my old VHS tapes of home movies before they get too old. The problem is that it records them OK and plays them back on the same DVD recorder fine. But if I go to play it on...

    1080 vs 720 problem

    Yes, I have HDMI from cable box to receiver. Then HDMI from receiver to tv. I usually turn the receiver on first and then the box and tv go on simultaneously using the Comcast remote. I have been leaving the cable box on lately and it remains at the higher resolution, 1080p.

    Pioneer Elite VSX-56TXi

    For $625 you can get the Pioneer VSX 23TXH which has all of the latest features. The only reason I upgraded to a new Pioneer is for the HDMI features. And it was well worth it. Blu ray movies sound amazing with the MCACC setup.

    1080 vs 720 problem

    I am having an issue with my cable box and new Pioneer VSX 21 TXH. Every time I turn on the cable box the Hi Def channels that I know broadcast in 1080 are showing on the box as 720. I go through the procedure to switch it to 1080 as the Comcast tech guy told me to do. It works fine until I turn...

    Anyone willing to discuss some receiver options?

    I forgot about Kenwood. When did they get out of the receiver business.

    Definitive Technology Studio Monitor 450

    The Theils are really expensive. Maybe I will move them to the living room and update the Home Theater to all Def Tech.

    Definitive Technology Studio Monitor 450

    Ok so I went to hear these speakers today with $248.95 in my pocket ready to buy them. But when I listened to them, let's just say I was less than blown away. Right now I have Thiel CS 1.6 for my left and right and these just don't compare. But I want to have all of my speakers match. Right now...

    Buying an Onkyo TX-NR807 advice, Amazon or Best Buy?

    I recently bought a Pioneer Elite VSX 21 TXH from Amazon and it was over $200.00 cheaper than Best Buy and it arrived no problem full warranty and no sales tax. You can't beat that.

    Definitive Technology Studio Monitor 450

    Any one have an opinion or own these? They are on sale at $248.95 at 6th Ave Electronics. Regular price at Amazon is $658.00. Seems like a great deal.

    New Wii for Christmas

    My lovely wife gave me a wii system for christmas. Is it possible to run it through my A/V receiver to improve the sound. Right now I have it hooked directly to my Sony TV with the supplied RCA cables. I see that you can also buy component cables to improve the video. Thanks

    Help with Blu Ray sound output

    I have a new Pioneer VSX 21TXH A/V receiver and a Pioneer BDP 51FD. They are hooked up via an HDMI cable. The picture is fabulous but I can't get it to output digital sound. It will only output in stereo which I than can simulate the surround effect but that is not the same as the actual digital...

    Mid-Level Receiver, Looking for assistance with some choices

    I just installed a Pioneer Elite VSX 21 TXH and absolutely love it. The sound is phenomenal and it was very easy to set up. With HDMI there are very few wires anymore.

    Please Help Me Choose A Reciever

    I just installed the Pioneer Elite 21 about a week ago and I love it. Very easy to hook up and the sound is phenomenal. I bought it on line and saved a lot of money as opposed to going to Best Buy or 6th Ave Electronics.

    Thinking of going HDTV...

    The main thing when you buy a Blu Ray player is don't let the sales guy sell you the super expensive HDMI cable. I was snookered by that before I joined this forum and it's a complete waste of money IMHO.
