Hi John - from what I have been able to read i would place one end of a Cat 5 or Cat 6 cable near the AVR and the other end would be placed near the tv. The hdmi extender consists of 2 boxes ( one is a transmitter for the source ( my AVR ) and the other a receiver for the tv ) - each one has a...
Thanks John - the electrician tried getting the head of the hdmi through the tubing but it wouldn't fit. The wall is an outside wall and on these new homes in Fl the space behind the sheetrock is minimal. The builder did run the blue tube to behind the tv so he can run a CAT 5 or 6 cable thru it...
I'm looking for some advice on an affordable HDMI Extender - no more than $150 if possible. Unfortunately I can't run a HDMI cable due to the construction of the house . The builder did run some 3/4" blue tube so i can run a Cat 5 or 6 cable to the tv through it.. Which cable should I use - Cat...
Polk Audio has an excellent deal on a very good speaker - hope this helps https://www.polkaudio.com/en-us/product/center-channel-speakers/monitor-60-series
I highly recommend Aperion Audio speakers - great bang for the buck ! Great sound , high quality components and beautiful cabinets. Their subwoofers are excellent too ! I'm not sure what your budget is but Aperion is very flexible with configuring a system for you. Below is a link to one of...
Brian - the extender looks like a great alternative. FYI - I am putting all my a/v gear and source devices in a closet so there will be no direct view of it from my living room.
I have a couple questions if you don't mind.
1. if all my source devices are plugged into my a/v pre-amp would i...
Thanks for the replies !! after reading the links above - looks like I will need a active hdmi cable. Another option is an optical hdmi cable . Is one of these preferred ? I also plan on using the smart feature in the tv to access Netflix so I want the audio sent to my pre-amp - should it be...
Yeah I might send it to them this winter while we are in Fl. I think it is a great piece of gear !!
One question about Athos - do you think it is too early to make the upgrade since there isn't much material out there with Athos ? I hardly use my Blu Ray - mostly Netflix and Cable. I already...
Hi John - I have had my AV7703 now for about 6 months. Sound wise I couldn't be happier !! But I still have a problem when I switch source devices I get no sound and have to turn the AV7703 off and then turn it back on. I worked extensively with Marantz customer service to try all sorts of fixes...
Thanks John for the input on the audio signal not locking on . I'll let you know how that solution works. I agree that the AV7703 is an awesome piece of gear - I am really happy with mine too !!
Hi John - Glad to hear you have everything hooked up and running !! I used the Audyssey setup and am very satisfied - never bothered to take out my sound meter. The more I use the Marantz the more I like it ! Again Congrats !!
John - Congrats - sounds like you got a great deal. I am very happy with mine - definitely noticed an improvement in the sound and having the hdmi inputs and outputs is a great feature. did you say they had more of these at a excellent price ? A friend of mine really liked mine but the $1499...
I was in the same boat as you. My very reliable Sherwood Newcastle P965 Preamp started to have real problems with the latest Comcast Digital Cable boxes. I picked up a 7703 about 6 weeks ago and love it !! I ended up getting rid of lots of gear that I wasn't using too. I think you will find the...
