    Help, please, moved and now I get picture but no sound from Denon receiver to Samsung TV

    Thanks, Nestor! I had the Samsung in the first HDMI port, which was the only one I wasn't sure of. Turned out it was HDMI IN, not OUT. My fault for reading it bent over upside down-the IN and OUT labels are at the very top where I couldn't see. Gah, I figured it would be something simple. Thanks...

    Help, please, moved and now I get picture but no sound from Denon receiver to Samsung TV

    I bought a new TV stand with a mount on the back and had to get some friends' help to move all my components. In the process some of my components were unplugged (from each other, not necessarily from their power sources, because the TV kept coming on while were were holding it in midair)...

    OK to squeeze copper wire into banana plug?

    I bought the 12 pack of Sewell Fast-Lock Deadbolts from Amazon, but they don't have a second hole on the side to thread the wire through. They're more barrel-shaped than most banana plugs, too. My wire is 16-gauge Rocketfish oxygen-free wire that looks just like the standard RCA wire I see when...

    OK to squeeze copper wire into banana plug?

    Having never done any kind of electrical wiring before, I have a few questions. I've watched a bunch of how-to videos explaining how to strip wire and put banana plugs on the ends, but my wire isn't like the type I keep seeing on the videos and it's confusing the heck out of me. It's 16 gauge...

    Hi, I'm a home theater newbie looking to upgrade from my Samsung LCD TV's standard speakers to a full 5.0 or 5.1, so I have been doing a lot of research and a limited amount of listening at local stores.

    Anybody have vertical center channel set-ups? Pics would be nice

    Hi, I'm an HT newbie who's considering buying three matching bookshelf speakers rather than a center and two fronts. Two problems with this: 1)Most bookshelf speakers are sold in pairs. How would I get an odd one without having to buy a fourth and go to the hassle of reselling it? Finding...

    5.1 rec challenge! for my small room, please. (pics)

    Thanks for the reply, Jman! I was beginning to think my post was so long it intimidated people... Okay, I guess you didn't see the pics of my room ('My Room', under EloquentQuill on Photobucket). Once I hit 5 posts I will be able to post a link, if that's easier. For 5.1, my listening...

    Hi, As a total newbie to the home theater world I've spent months doing research and listening to what small selection of speakers I could find in local stores. I apologize for the long post but I wanted to be thorough right from the get-go. So far I have bought: Samsung LN40B650 TV...

    Using an LCD TV as computer monitor

    I've been using my 40" Samsung 40B650 as a monitor for about two years now. I demo'd for months before getting it since I knew I wanted it to be sharp enough to make reading font easy. And it is. Samsungs have some of the highest contrast ratios around, great for black print on a white...

    Sub or no sub for listener with percussive sensitivity?

    Hi, I'm an HT newbie but I know I want to upgrade from my LCD TV speakers to a 5.1 surround sound system. One of the most important problems plaguing me is that I have a sensitivity to percussion, especially drums, explosions, etc. that gives me an irritation burning on the back of my neck...
