Did my cabling this weekend and it worked great, thanks. Appreciate the advice.

Thanks Gene. I can now go back to my original plan. I just happened to be checking out the TV in preparation for the cabling effort and had one of those "Oh no! What do I do now " moments. Much appreciation for keeping me on track.

I have an Onkyo TX SR505 receiver with the HDMI passthrough. And, I'll be doing my wiring this weekend. I was just reviewing what I'll be doing, and I came up with an either or scenario I'd like to toss out there. I will coming out of both the DVR/Cable Box and Blu Ray player with and HDMI...

Thanks for the correction. Just looking for someone to weigh-in so I can can the optical cables on order if I need them. Thanks, Chas.

I have a roughly 3 year old Onkyo TX-SR505 receiver, and I'm in the process of wiring my first HT system. So, I apologize in advance if my questions are too Newb. I have my sub and some cables and wires ordered and in transit this week. In reading my receiver manual, I'm admittedly a...

I'm in the process of preparing my first HT install, I'm working on my cabling diagram so I know what connects to what. I have a question regarding the Blu Ray player. In most cases, it's be for videos and movies, where the HDMI cable will go from the player to the receiver to the TV. I...

I know wireless is never as good as wired, but logistics prevent me from running speaker wire for rear speakers ( a wood ceiling for one). I've had great difficulty finding decent options. I've read about the Polk FX, and a couple of others, but just haven't found the choices I'd thought I'd...

CB750, We just finished the kitchen/family room renovation, thus the new wood floors. We will have an area rug in place. I should also mention that the room has a vaulted ceiling. Sounds like the Lava should work with the other speakers and it's lows are lower the ones I was looking at...

Thanks for your reply. The room is roughly 16 x 16, but it does merge into the kitchen so the whole space is a bit longer. The room also has wood floors. I don't have any extra ordinary movie tastes, like to watch your typical movies, along with some music/concert vids. Also, just enjoy...
