First off, I'm no HT expert, so anyone who is going to take anything away for reading my post will most likely be a 1st timer to HT like myself. I work at Best Buy. We carry mainly 3 types of cables, from least to most expensive: Recotton, Acoustic Research, and Monster. Using my staff...

LOL!! That IMO should be your main priority. No matter how good the sound, crappy picture will result in crappy experience. If you're not sold on Plasma, LCD, etc, head to Best Buy or Circuit City and look for primo deals on 26-32inch Flat Screen CRT HDTVs. One of the best tvs for the money...

Plug your CD player to the front panel optical. It's the only device that doesn't require video switching, so you can use the assignable ones for the rest.

Update: I ended up returning the speakers and receiver. Here's what I did. I switched the speakers numerous times, and sometimes the right channel seemed brighter, sometimes the left seemed brighter. Both speakers therefore was most likely fine. Swapped speaker cables, moved the speakers...

My Sony doesn't have a DVI port (the Denon does), but it is 1080i capable. Is there is any way to output 1080i video signal through the component cables? Any remote control 'unlocking' technique that might come handy?

Yes, that means allowing the sub to amplify everything it sees. But since the 1015 has a default crossover of 80hz, then it will send only frequencies 80hz or below to the sub. Make sure you set all speakers to 'small'

D'oh, the simplest answer... and it never occured to me. :rolleyes:

I have a 1/2 wall with pillars going to the ceiling from about 4 feet off the ground (where the wall end) on the right speaker side (The one that seems to have more mids and less highs). Is this normal?

Well, the right front doesn't seem to have as much high end as the left. The mids are also more prominent on the right. I don't know if this is Pioneer's way of calibrating or not, but I assumed both speakers would sound relatively same. They are of equal distance from the side walls and tv...

Also, I've noticed that when the receiver is doing pink noise test tones during calibration, the left and right fronts don't sound the same. How critical is this? Are they supposed to sound identical?

Thanks. It now set the fronts at 0.0 and -0.5 and sub at 2.0. I like this setting. I put the sub on Direct and set the crossover to 80 in the receiver.

Ok, right now, I'm using a 2.1 setup with my fronts and Sub. I was uncertain whether or not I wanted to get better Polk stuff for the center and surrounds. So I returned the rest - for the time being while I make up my mind. Anyways, the auto MCCAC set my fronts at 11 feet (right) and sub...

I am using 6 feet acoustic research cables currently, but would like to move my receiver to the side of the room while my Sat box, DVD player, PS2 are right below the tv. The cables are stretched to the maximum to reach the receiver. I can get 12 feet of cable for slightly more which will give...

Are you married? If so, I'd be afraid of your wife coming home from a hard day's work and chug the car keys on top of the Sub. It's placed quite conviniently.

Thanks. Yes, the jumpers haven't been moved.

Hmm, the sorry excuse of a manual doesn't state which binding posts to use. I don't want to bi-amp or bi-wire my speakers. Right now, I'm using the 2 bottom + and - posts. Just curious if using the top ones will give me more volume, high end etc. Or should I just leave it because it makes no...

Proud owner of a shiny piano black DPS-12. :D

Well hell! You're right! I remember someone telling me T2 was the 1st, so I guess it stuck with me. The Haunting huh? Wow that movie sucked donkey b@lls! :eek:

Thanks but I already got a 1015TX last week and enjoying the hell out of it.

Here's my review of the RTi8s. "They kick ***!!!" :eek: :cool:
