    Passive to Active Subwoofer convertor for Denon AVR 2312ci

    I recently upgraded my AV Receiver to a Denon AVR 2312ci I found at a thrift store for $30! It works very well!

    AVR for $1,000

    I'm asking for a friend. He has $1000 to spend on a home theater receiver. He is just starting to build his home system and renting a home for the next year so the room size probably shouldn't be factored in. He will also eventually update his speakers. He can get a Yamaha RX-V2085 or a Denon...

    Cable Box to AVR ?

    Just curious - do most people with a sound system connect their cable box to the AVR or do you just use your high end sound system for your blu ray player when playing blu rays or listening to CD's ? Does it make a big difference with broadcast transmissions ?
