i bought one to pass the time until hdmi 1.3. i love it & it can't be beat for the money. i worked my way up from a 816 to 1015 to the 1016 when i was trying out receivers this last year. i really liked the 1015 but the 1016 (minus the fold-down face) has many other little upgrades that the...

ah, i asked oppo which one of THEIR players would work best for my system. no, i didn't think they were going to tell me to buy the panny :) it appears a lot of people recommend the 970 for plasma's. the s97 uses the same chip (i believe) as the 981/971 so i would assume that since...

well, i emailed oppo & they replied quickly & suggested the 981. so, i'll give that a try first...

need a new upconverting dvd player which will also be my primary cd player (so i need good sound quality as well). which one will work better for my system? i want to stay at or under $250... will i have problems with either of these and my 50" panny plasma?

i had a 1015 & now have a 1016 used as a preamp with my 5800. it sounds awesome! if i were you, i don't think i would waste the money on a preamp when you already have a great one right there. surely, there are other components in your system that could be more easily justified in upgrading...

with the unit off...press the Tone Mode & RIGHT arrow buttons (behind the front panel) at the same time...then it will display the version #...

i'm on my second 635 in 1.5 months & now the new one doesn't work. it mysteriously shuts off. if i turn it on from stand-by mode, it shuts off in 2-3 seconds. if i reset the processor, it will work for about 30 minutes then shut & stop working again. i returned the first 635 after i...

i bought another hk 635 & the firmware version is 4.05. the new firmware appears to be 5.12. anyway, do any of you have suggestions/advice on the best way to attempt this upgrade. the last time i tried it on a different 635, my computer froze & the 635 was stuck in stand-by mode. also...

probelm solved...well, most of them anyway... i just returned the 1015 & got a new hk 240. i've noticed a little audio delay on my 57" mitsu & the 1015 didn't have an audio sync feature. i'll just hook up the 5800 now & use the 240 as a preamp. thanx for all the help...it's difficult to...

i was just following my owner's manual. it made no mention of bi-amping. so, if i am passively bi-amping, then it doesn't sound like it's going to be worth the additional cost of good wires & plug for the 5 speakers i was going to "bi-amp" for only 2db's. so, i probably be better off just...

like i said earlier, i bi-wired the betas both ways, once with the 1015 hp & 5800 lp & vice versa. from past experiences with the 5800, i had a feeling that they would be louder when the 5800 was on the lp knowing the bass sucks more power...& i was correct. with the 1015 on hp & the 5800 lp...

it has 73 amps of "high instantaneous current capability" http://www.harmankardon.com/specifications.aspx?cat=PPT&ser=&prod=PA5800BLK&sType=H what's wrong with bi-wiring the betas since they have that capability & i have two amps?

i'm setting up my new little theater. i've decided to bi-wire five of my betas (see sig) so i can still use my h/k pa5800 (80W x 5 with 73 amps of high current!!!). should i use the pioneer 1015 for the high pass or low pass & likewise for the 5800? i experimented with both combinations &...

i'm not saying your product can't withstand a little abuse from cats, but i don't want to take a chance with my cat who will do those stupid things. every cylinder we have in this house, he'll attack whether it's a laundry basket, garbage can, scratching post, etc. so for me, i think a box...

well, i have it narrowed down to a svs pb12 (the new one) & an infinity csw-10. the svs will cost more money, probably a couple hundred more. i realize it should sound better too, but i have to put things into perspective to please the wife here after having bought a 57" mitsu hdtv too ;) i...

i'm in need of a good sub too & i just thought of one other issue for me...the cat. i can just see my cat using the cylinder as a scratching post! i don't know if anyone has had that happen, but i certainly wouldn't want it to...& no, getting rid of the cat isn't an option right now :) i'll...

i haven't seen a 1016 yet, but i got a great deal on the 1015 as well. for the money, it can't be beat...period! keep in mind, these other receivers cost up to 3x more than the 1015...& you really don't gain many more useful features. i may try to find a 1016 w/hdmi as i finally bought a hdtv...

i returned the klipsch sub i had even though i haven't edited my sig yet... roughly how much is/was your 15" sub? my guess is that's it's more than my $500-600 budget. i would like a 15" sub, but am unwilling to spend more than that right now...

where does the 2600 cost less? everywhere i've looked locally, the 2807 has been cheaper...~$1100 vs. ~$1300 for the 2600...

13x20x8 i'll email them when i get around to it. i just got the beta's set up & was in for a pleasant surprise. i may be willing to spend a little more now to get a great subwoofer to go along with them!
