Gene, Overall the new website looks good but I have one major annoyance. You have scrolling banners at the top of the main page, PLEASE keep them all the same size. Currently all the text below jumps up and down each time the banner changes. If this is a duplicate report I apologize, I did not...

If your going to use a Windows Media Center Remote or a Harmony programmed to emulate one, then go with Windows 8. It is a very remote friendly interface. I currently have my HTPC running on 8 and really appreciate it. For the majority of playback I use XBMC from the desktop and Netflix as a...

Output of HDMI switch directly to TV. A fiber optic cable or digital coax caries the audio to the receiver. No HDMI in the receiver at all. Simple enough to hook up ad use but adds another remote or one more item to manage with a Harmony remote, then it becomes seamless.

I really hate to say this but I think the HDMI board in your receiver is failing. I looked a the specs on your receiver and there is no firmware update, it was an entry lever unit. 2 suggestions: 1) Buy a new receiver, Accessories4less: High End Audio at Low End Prices!, is a good source. Good...

Glad to see it has been resolved. The receiver manufactures often push hardware out the door with firmware that is not fully debugged. We need to start treating our receivers like they are PC's, always assume that the software that comes in the box is outdated. This also applies to any device...

I have seen this question come up multiple times and I believe I have a simple solution. I have found a way to maximize your results with a MCE remote receiver. You need to program 2 devices into the Harmony, one is the Windows Media Center SE, the second is Microsoft MCE Keyboard. When...

Fast speaker identification Replacing a receiver or installing a system that has bunch of unidentified wires coming out of the wall and you have no idea what wire goes to what speaker? Grab a AA battery and hold one wire on the negitive and drag the other wire accross the tip. You can hear the...

Own a Level 3 Center When I went looking for something to match my old but sill phenomenal ESS Heil Amt 1b floor standers I tried a few different speakers. I finally got a Level 3 Center, damaged in shipment but quickly replaced by the company, and was pleasantly surprised by the timbre match...

Netflix Response I just got off the phone with a very nice young lady at Netflix. I called to register my displeasure at a 50% price increase for 1 disk at a time and streaming combo. She claimed to have taken down my suggestions and displeasure at what appears to be a greed driven price...

Folded Ribbon Tweeter The tweeter sounds familiar, based on its description I would be inclined to call it an air transformer. It sounds like the tweeter in my ESS Heils, and if it performs like them then these could be very sweet sounding. I look forward to the reviews.
