Whaaaa? You're telling me you watch video from Blu-ray over component (fine) and audio out from the optical (not fine!!!)? You do realize you're only getting 2.0 downmixed right for the PCM and True HD tracks.

If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Onkyos have excellent features and specs this year. However, there have been a vast number of people complaining about speaker popping, overheating, to straight up fire and smoke from their units. Unless you can try one out and can...

I think Heroes is one of the most overrated shows of all time. What it is, is different from the Network shows, which is why it got such good reviews. It's not bad, but it's not as good as the hype.

The 347 is a good choice for audio, but the HDMI video capabilities at 720p is attrocious! I returned my 247 because of this. I also saw artifacts at 1080p.

Just an update. I bought a Yamaha 6060 to replace my HK 247 and the bass effects jumped up immediately. The bass is much better and defined than before. But I'm still not getting impact from explosions and so forth. And I think spending the extra for a 2nd sub might be too much and for...

I was able to find this info with a little searching. http://www.soundandvisionmag.com/article.asp?section_id=61&article_id=849&page_number=1&print_page=y Energy S10.3 subwoofer 20 Hz at 84 dB SPL 104 dB average SPL from 25 to 62 Hz 108 dB maximum SPL at 62 Hz bandwidth uniformity 97%

Ok, it may not be the deep lows I'm after. I simply want to feel the slam that people talk about for movies. I'm not getting any of that for large explosions or rumbling heavy effects.

Sorry, not really an expert here. Is that good or bad?

Ok, I've moved the sub between the front right and center channel. I find that the response seems more even, less boomy and I can't tell the direction from which the bass is coming. It's still not going down deep enough even though the sub is rated at 21hz. I'll try to find a SPL. Weird...

Here is my theater room - well basically a converted upstairs bedroom. It's 14 feet long and 10 feet wide, with a closet in the corner (shaded in black). Anyway, my problem is getting deep bass in the room. Raising the volume on the sub creates a bloaty, boomy sound. The problem I think...

The receiver is one years old. He says he has the recipt in email format. But hasn't forwarded to me yet. It will be a local pickup but the receiver has been packed away for few months. I'm more concerned if the unit is refurbished. If so, everything seems shady and goes against what the...

I'm in a bit of a dilemma. I've found a good deal on a Denon receiver. However, the seller says it was bought NEW from secondact.biz. I've done a bit of research and I can't find any info that secondact sells *New* electronics goods. They seem to sell Denon, but all are refurbished. They are...

Ok, here's the problem. I have a Velo DPS 12 that I've been very happy with. I share a small semi-detached with my girlfriend, but since we're both students, we decided to put the basement up for rent. That means, my setup has been moved up to one of the empty bedrooms. Before the move...

Didn't want to start a new thread. Is this Belkin PF30 a good buy? I intend to plug my projector, my receiver, Xbox 360 and PS3.

I'm using a $25 APC surge protector with 3400joule rating. I have my receiver, my PS3, my DVD player and my subwoofer connected to it. It has a yellow LED if there's overload - which I've never seen it light up. Now, looking through the members gallery, everyone seems to have one of those...

$950Can at a local Hifi Shop.

Just wondering. These went on clearance in the local stores. They know it does 1080p, but what about 1080p 24? I use my PS3 with 1080p 24 output for Blu-ray movies.

92" from 10 feet. Like I said, the HD formats look really good, but I'm more impressed with the sound than the video. Watching DVD after watching HD is fine to me since my PS3 does an amazing job at upconverting. And I can live without HD until this stupid war is over, or there's a newer...

I'm not J6P, but when it comes to HD, I am. I don't have a lot of experience in HD. I do have a PS3 and bought a few Blu-ray movies. I just bought a HD DVD player (HDA2) that I plan on returning. Here's my verdict: I'm more impressed with the audio than the video on both formats. Yes...

I don't like cable with that stupid techflex crap. It's completely useless IMO and makes the cable stiff. I'd like to stay 28 or 26AWG as long as it doesn't affect the signal. On another note, would 22AWG or 24AWG be recommended for passing a 1080p24 signal to a projector? Let's say the...
