    Help with Bose speakers and denon receiver

    I used to have the lifestyle 12....several years ago. its really the same as the newer system, double cubes, bass module, cd player with am/fm radio, it was a 5.1 system. after about a year (keep in mind, this was around '97), i decided that i needed more sound, louder, better. so, i went to...

    You Guys are probably tired of this @#$!

    well, if your not going to play dvd's on the computer, why tie up that hdmi on the receiver? i would use the receiver hdmi ports for satellite and dvd. the computer should run fine off of firewire or usb. it really depends on what the computer is going to be used for in the ht set-up. i use my...

    SVS PB12-ISD/2 vs Paradigm PW2200

    yea, my local dealer was the same way. then it occured to me that they may be cheaper in canada since that's where they are made. i bought all my speakers at av unlmtd - the monitor series. the store i bought them from said they do a lot of business with na customers casue of the pricing. he...

    SVS PB12-ISD/2 vs Paradigm PW2200

    i have the pw2200, and while i haven't heard the other subs mentioned here, it suited my 18x21 room with 2 story ceiling just fine - at 2/3 volume. i too listen to a lot of rap (and house) and that's why i liked the pw2200. now granted, it was 4 years ago, perhaps i would think differently if i...

    Is sacrificing HDMI a big deal?

    another thing to consider that wasn't mentioned here that's interesting with the denon players is that their performance was identical whether using hdmi or component. now, they don't have the upscaling feature when using component, but that didn't seem to manifest itself in the "secrets"...

    You Guys are probably tired of this @#$!

    I think there is a debate both ways. Some say direct, some say use the receiver as the switch. My thoughts are that if you were using component, the quality of the switch (receiver) and cable play a role. But, with hdmi being pure digital with no analog to digital conversion (just passes 0's and...

    You Guys are probably tired of this @#$!

    I don't understand what you mean when you say the receiver does a lot of things that the dvd player claims to do??? I sort of agree with the other guy that it doesn't make perfect sense to buy a player now, but if you want Pioneer, their hd players will probably be 2x the cost of the 59avi or...

    Post Your Ride!

    yea, i actually have seen a few like that on the forums, a little too much for me. i like carbon fiber, but i'll leave it to interior trim and the roof of the new m6 :D

    Question about speaker set-up and sub setting for 74txvi

    when i set my towers to 'large' and sub to 'yes', i don't get any sound from the sub. this is how the mcacc set the system up. if i change the sub setting to 'plus', with the fronts set to 'large', the sub works fine. is there some kind of default override that when the fronts are set to...

    Paradigm sub just quit working......

    oh, i didn't realize that. i thought that's what the 12 trigger was for on the receiver... dvd, sub, etc. let me try it to the panamax again and see if the interference noise comes back.

    Paradigm sub just quit working......

    that sounds similar then. because while i can still select yes for the sub and large for mains, the sub doesn't actually come on until i hit yes-plus. i think this is similar to the denon's lfe+main as well as your yamaha setting

    Paradigm sub just quit working......

    okay guys, thanks a mill...... I reset everything and it came on and everything works. fronts are set to 'small' and sub is set to 'yes'. BUT, it seems that when I did the MCACC, it set the fronts to 'large' and the even though the sub was set to 'yes' it doesn't ever come on and that's why the...

    Paradigm sub just quit working......

    okay, now i'm scared.....i used the speaker level inputs and the sub works just fine. i also used one of the other preamp outputs (one for the front left), and again, it works fine. since the lfe input on the sub works when using one of the other preamp outs of the receiver, does that mean...

    Paradigm sub just quit working......

    I've had my Paradigm PW-2200 for just under 4 years now. Last week, I noticed some sound coming from the tweeters of all my speakers that was there no matter what source and whether the volume was off or on. Sounding like a humming/buzzing interference, I assumed it had to be my panamax sp or...

    denon 2910 vs 3910

    If I may, a comment about the two players video performacne from my experience. I demo'ed both, and I agree that the 3910 does offer an improved image - although it wasn't easily apparent - both players within their rights will have similar performance whether using hdmi or component. If you're...

    New DVD player?

    Yea, I agree with you. I DO have a 720p native resolution tv, not sure if the dvd scaler is better though (dedon dvd vs. mitsu diamond plasma???) The only things that bothers me about Rotel is that a) there are no - or few - reviews of their dvd players against other ones costing the same...

    Good high-end HDMI compatible DVD player

    I read this three times to make sure I didn't miss anything (and I'm sure I still did), but why don't you just run the digital coax to the receiver and play through the dvd input? I agree that there is no - or not a significant - difference in sound between the two. The only downfall to...
