Hello all, I am needing to replace my soundbar with wireless sub and I am going with another Yamaha unit which has a sub preout. I downsized years ago from a large HT setup to a small simple unit since my dog and then kids kept me from cranking things up. I still have a toddler so I am not...

Good morning all, I haven't been here in ages. I'm not even sure my sig is still here but I will make this quick. I used to have a huge, loud AV system. Them my wife and I adopted a greyhound. That was skittish and didn't like loud movies or music. That resulted in us not really watching...

Good afternoon all, I have a question regarding TV's. It has been a long time since researching TV's so I figured I would start here. I am still rocking a 6 year old Samsung PN64D550C1FXZA 64" 1080p Plasma that is still working great however it's getting time to change things up. I have sold...

Hello all, it has been quite some time since I posted last. A lot has happened since I put together an audio system that I was happy with and now it's time to change things up. My system in my signature has been 98% overkill for a few years now and I would like to put the entire family room...

Hello all, I recently jumped from an Onkyo 709 to a Denon 3313 with the plans to run a 5.1 setup in my family room, use the remaining powered channels to run a pair of patio speakers and lastly use zone 3 preouts to run my behringer amp powering a 2 ch set up in a different room. I have yet to...

First off let me say it has been years since I was last on here. You all were a huge help in setting up my first 'system' many moons ago. I am currently torn between two receivers. My system is as below however I am adding a third zone. The main zone is obviously theater room. Zone 2 was my...

I bought a 720P LG 60PC1D 60" plasma back in 2007 and it appears to have died over the weekend. I went to turn on the unit and the led flashes red a few times and then went to white and no image. Then, when you turn it off, it is completely unresponsive for a good 5 seconds before powering off...

Hey all, I am thinking about trying a new box out for my 15" TC-3000. As it is, its a 22" or so cube with twin PR's but I have never really like its musical side. It is just too narrow of a band. I was thinking of building a ported enclosure of the same footprint (obviously will be much...

Hey all, it has been at least a year since I have been on here. I build a sub a couple years ago consisting of one 15" TC-3000 (I think, it was the Huge one) and two of the 15" Passive Radiators tuned to about 19 HZ and with room gain it will dig down a little lower. Anyway, I have been...

Hey all, I was watching Transformers and noticed that when I set my receiver to 'surround decode' it only goes to MPCM. Whats the deal? I though MPCM is an analog signal. I popped in Miami Vice that I have in SD-DVD and it went to Dolby Digital... I could have sworn I saw it say TrueHD or...

Hey all, I am switching from RGB and optical to HDMI. Would I be better off running my audio through the optical or is the HDMI better/worse? Thanks.

Hey guys, quick question. I searched a little bit but I have a question regarding the break in process of a plasma. I have heard to keep the contrast and brightness down to 50% or less and zoom the picture so that there is no 'bars' present for the first hundred hours, is that it? Is that...

Hey all, just purchased my new plasma and it will be sitting on my spare credenza until I switch some things around. Anyway, the base sits on the credenza but the panel will hang over about 10" or so on either side however my ridiculous unshielded sub will be right under that (clears by about...

Hey all, I am going to pull the trigger on my 60” LG 60PC1D but something popped into my head. My local NFM has a couple left on sale for 2700 or 2800 bucks and for a 60”, that is pretty stellar for a unit will good reviews. Here is the dilemma. I could by two 50” 720p Samsung plasmas or...

Hey all, I was bout to pull the trigger on the 50" 1080p Samsung but then I got to thinking. My new "theater" area is part of a larger room with a bar, pool table etc. Hell the couch will be at least 10-12' away from the TV. So I was thinking, I will never be close enough to take advantage of...

I am about to buy a Samsung FP-T5084. They are on sale at Best Buy and Nebraska Furniture Mart for about $2600. Here is my question, are there any better 50" 15000:1, Full 1080p Plasmas out there for the same price that are of good quality? It seems like a great deal to me. It seems like that...

Hey all, I just finished setting up my new Yami 6080 and it came up with a polarity warning. It says both surround channels are in reverse polarity. I have triple checked and they are wired correctly. Is there anything that can cause it to think the polarity is reversed? Also, I replaced...

So, I have an interesting situation. I there is a guy local that offered to buy my DIY sub. Between the materials, drivers, amp, finishing, mine was about $1250. I told him I would build a new one but TC Sounds prices are going up a substantial amount and that it would potentially cost 50%...

Hey all, I am upgrading, again. A buddy s buying my receiver and dvd player and I am going to buy a Toshiba HD DVD player and most likely the Yami 6090. I am getting the 6090 for $640, is there anything that will give it a run for its money? Also, what is the difference between the 6890 and...

Hey all, first off, I will explain the basics of my recently completed sub project. I have a 15” TC Sounds TC-3000 with twin 15” TC-VMP’s (passive radiators) tuned to 16 Hz in a 4.2 cubic foot enclosure. The TC-3k is a quad 1.4 ohm DCR (2 ohm Nom) voicecoil driver. After wiring my TC-3k in all...
