    DEAD SUB-WOOFER ON 5.1 HOME THEATHER

    There is only one switch at the side, On and Off. I toggle it many times and nothing happens. I might open the box after contacting Yamaha to see what they say. The connection at the AVR is tight. I remove it and put it back to see how tight it is.

    DEAD SUB-WOOFER ON 5.1 HOME THEATHER

    Tonight I noticed my sub woofer is silent. Its Yamaha YST-SW315, 80 watts. The standby green light is off. I don't know if it should be lighted only if there is signal from the Receiver. I checked the power and move it to another outlet. Power is O.K. Checked the connection to the receiver and...

    DVD AND BLU-RAY SOUND

    Gene, The bitstream word of yours send me to check the Audio Setup of the BluRay. Yes it suggested to turn the setting to off, but I found out after reading again the Pioneer Receiver Manual that I was using the wrong buttons of the Remote Control. The control has so many buttons which makes...

    DVD AND BLU-RAY SOUND

    I recently finished setting up my converted stereo to home theater. I have been renting DVD movies as well as movies in BluRay. I run both of them on my Sony BD player. Are home theater sounds only good in BluRay? I noticed DVD movie sounds, only come in Stereo. No surround or using all 5.1...

    Thank you so much. Will it really mesh up my TV if I watch that kind of movie? Hour and half of horizontal cropping.

    Cropping Display

    I pause and took a picture and it looks like its 2.4:1 aspect. I set my TV to 16x9 before playing then check it while playing and showed Wide. So this movie was shot at Wide aspect ratio. Seems there is nothing I can do? I have read the site you recomended. It seems that is for the old TV and...

    Cropping Display

    Robert, The cropping is horizontal, both the top and the bottom is gone. My TV is set to Auto, when I check it I can only take the Auto or the Wide. What it really shows is Wide. I rented a Blu Ray from Redbox called The Losers. I wanted to discover what else I have to learn about HT the...

    Cropping Display

    Is there any reason why my display on TV is cropping? I played Avatar in Blu Ray and it was O.K. Then I tried another Blu Ray movie where the previews were alright but when the real movie starts it starts cropping. I cannot adjust the Aspect from the receiver or from the TV. It displays...

    DVD'S WITH SURROUND SOUND

    Gene, I adjusted my surround speaker as you and the manual stated. As it went more negative the volume gets softer so I went to the positve side and noticed volume gets louder but it only went as far as +10db or -10db on the negative side. My speakers did not sound loud enough. At this...

    DVD'S WITH SURROUND SOUND

    Thank you Gene and Steve for your info. Can the surround speaker volume be increased after the MCACC setup? I bought this cube speaker called Pure Resonance from Pro Acoustic. I tried it together with my 6 in. speaker and it did not sound loud with a good volume from my amplifier compared...

    DVD'S WITH SURROUND SOUND

    I'm new to HT and about to finish my 5.1. Do regular DVD's have surround sound or just Blu Rays? I haven't bought any DVDs. Do they specify anything about the sound that is recorded on it? I have played DVDs from friends, public library's or copied version also from friends. What about from OTA...

    HDMI CABLE

    Thanks Joe for your info. After connecting my components and doing the MCACC set up, I tried to play my CD and realized the SW isn't working but I already found the solution.

    HDMI CABLE

    Dave, As I said I started to follow the basic setup and it seems I went one step ahead which is setting the auto MCACC. This MCACC SETUP starts with turning on the TV and the receiver, then connect the microphone to the MCACC jack on the front panel. Once this microphone is inserted it should...

    Connecting a powered sub to a Pioneer 1019AH-K receiver

    Robert, Yes. The "NOTES" just throw me out since I have only one Pre Out. I spoke to one of their tech support and told me to just use mono connection, that is from receiver low pass (pre out ) run a mono cable to the MONO INPUT2 (L) of the Sub. LOW PASS and SPLIT SUBWOOFER words kept me...

    Connecting a powered sub to a Pioneer 1019AH-K receiver

    Robert, The y-adapter has one RCA male to 2 female output, both RCA. Is there a wired output, left and right? So there will be 4 wires coming out instead of 2 female RCA. The yamaha sub needs four wires, two for the left (pos and neg) and two for the right (pos &neg).
