    What are Ascend's weaknesses?

    Question rephrased or not, I've already covered the basics of the difference you could expect to hear, but maybe you've just chosen to ignore my answer. In any case, the bottom line is you need to do the work by bringing in speakers in to your home for audition. The forums are good for quick and...

    What are Ascend's weaknesses?

    One of the primary differences is the materials that go into making the cabinet. Obviously Ascend is more interested in providing the best sound quality bang for your buck. In order to do so they keep the finish of the cabinet very basic to keep the prices down. I guess if you want speakers to...

    THE OFFICIAL CRIMSON TIDE - UNRATED EXTENDED EDITION REVIEW THREAD (Buena Vista)

    Just exactly where is the apology? I'm pretty sure no one here has forced anyone to read anything. The title of the thread was a spot on indication of what the post was about, so I'm left wondering why you are posting threads in it if you weren't interested. Thanks for the review DTS...

    Talking Heads: Speaking in Tongues DualDisc Review

    You are right. They did not release Sand in the Vaseline as a Dualdisc. Though, the Brick box set contains all the same basic material. Here's a link to it if interested. Brick

    SheepStar's Lair

    Sheep, Hey, I thought of a good, cheap way to dress up those speaker stands some. Just thought I'd throw it out there. http://housewares.hardwarestore.com/37-188-contact-papers/cherry-woodgrain-contact-paper-105294.aspx

    Audio to different speakers depending on what source is used..

    Would it be possible that you've incorrectly connected the surround speakers to main left and right terminals of the receiver and vice versa? This would be my first guess, but it could be something entirely different.

    ABC's streaming TV

    Thanks for the link. I'd been wondering when this sort of network viewing would begin. Even with forced ads I wonder if it will remain free. Not sure if you saw it, but you can increase the video size somewhat (not full screen) with the small icon in the bottom right of the player. The quality...

    Original Star Wars movies on DVD

    I don't really understand why you guys are hating on Lucas. I mean it's his work and if he wants to alter it in a way the HE thinks is an improvement then I don't see what there is to get worked up over. I mean, I know I have done things whereby once they get submitted to the public I'd wished...

    My Haven

    No disrespect I really like your HT, but the rear of you room reminds of the scene in amityville horror when the blood comes pooring in the room. Was that the look you were going for? If so, you nailed it.:)

    CEA and NAB Take on California DTV Energy Policy

    Yet another example of the inefficiencies of governmental process. Maybe they should instead be more concerned with the waste of energy that occurs within bureaucracy.

    RX-V2600 Audioholics Review?

    I contacted Yamaha regarding this issue and their technical support said that the RX-V2600 upscaling (not to be confused with upconverting) does not work with DVI, the options should be grayed out when connected in this manner. That's their official stance. He also said that there has not been a...

    RX-V2600 Audioholics Review?

    mjharris: Maybe I should rephrase the question since I can't be certain the way you phrased your response that we are talking about the same thing. Are you able to upscale a 480i or 480p source to 720p or 1080i with the RX-V2600 when using a dvi input on your display? My "HDMI up-scaling"...

    RX-V2600 Audioholics Review?

    The sources are a VCR @ 480i w/ composite, DVD player @ 480p w/ component, XBox @ 480p-1080i (game dependent) w/ component. jeff if it isn't too much trouble could you try duplicating one of these types of connections without using any HDMI inputs and see if you can access HDMI upscale and...

    RX-V2600 Audioholics Review?

    DVI & the RX-V2600 In helping a friend with his setup the other day I came across this scenario. He is using a DLP display whose only digital video input is a DVI-D connection. When using a HDMI to DVI cable from the 2600 to the display, HDMI up-scaling is grayed out in the 2600's menus. No...
