The replacement receiver came in last Friday and it's working well with the HDMI main connection. The sound is good for all channels now! Believe it or not, things always get tricky when it's my turn. I really hope everything will be Okay from now on. Thank you guys for all your time and help!
Thank you so much, Jason. You're absolutely right! I Now I know the audio quality difference transmitted between a HMDI and an optical cable. I'm going to buy either a blu-ray player or a PS3 later.
I'm sorry that I forgot to mention about the sources I use at the moment. I do not have a cable TV subscription, no blu-ray player, no CD/DVD players, no game players like Xbox, etc. The only media sources I'm using now are the public TV programs with Netflix subscription, and an Ipod/Iphone...
Thank you again, Sam, for your further guidance. It was really a mess last night. At first, I unplugged everything per your instruction and then drove to a nearby Radioshack store grabbing an optical cable, just in the hope to find out if it was the HDMI problem. After an hour or so, we...
Thank you for the suggestion, Sam. I actually did the similar process both last night and this morning, after leaving all the equipment off (by turning off the extention outlet) for a whole night. I'll try again tonight.
Hi Guys,
I bought all the equipment and the cables Martin recommeded, the speakers (4 x BIC Dv64) and the receiver (Onkyo TX-NR709) arrived fast, but the subwoofer (Epik Lengend) and the center channel speaker (BIC DV62CLR-S) probably will arrive today!
With the receiver and the 4 speakers, I...
Hi Martin,
Your post is highly appreciated. Are those all the cables and accessories I need? It would be helpful if you may tell me the usage of each cable so that I may make it sure if the length is Okay.
WIth regard to the receiver, after reading some posts on various forums, I'm inclined to...
Yeah! Thank you again for your opinion and comments. Different ideas really help rather than just one voice, which provide more thoughts from more angles.
Besides the equipments, I'd like your help as what to buy, like wires and cables, etc.
Have a wonderful day!
Thank you all for your help and time!
After doing some research and reading, I've come to an idea as follows with regard to what to buy. I'd like to hear your comments before I make the final decision.
- Speakers. 4 x BIC DV64 Tower speakers & 1 x DV62CLR-S Center Channel speaker. The reason...
Thank you all for the input. It's like a school here where I may learn so much from so many knowledgeable professors. I'll keep reading and listening until I have a clear understanding of the system.
Thank you so much, Martino!
Two concerns.
1) Book-shelf speakers vs towers. Will the smaller volume affect the performance?
2) Onkyo receiver. Refurbished vs new. Have no confidence in refurbished products.
As a beginner, I'm trying to do some research on HSU and Epik products and want to make...
Thank you in advance for any recommendations in a complete 5.1 Home Thester System, exclude the blueray player as I'll buy a PS3 very soon!
Budget. $1,500 for a reveiver/amplifer, 5 speakers and 1 subwoofer.
Room size. about 24' x 18' (with bigger space on the upper part directly under the roof)...
