Marantz Vs Onkyo I could not find any receiver in Marantz line up with the numbers 5001. There is a CD player from Marantz with the number 5001. You may want to chek the model number again for the Marantz receiver you are comparing to the Onkyo so that we (The group) can help. Gary

I have only seen the specs for the AVR-793 and it looks to be a good receiver. (Secondact has it for 299.00) Does anyone have any experience with Jamo electronic products (not the speakers) and if so, can you please give me your recommendations. I am interested in movies first, music second...

Receiver Help If the cable box does not have a component output you will need to use another connection to your tv. Does the cable box have s-video output? The other thing you could check is to see if your cable company has High Definition cable boxes. If they do, they will usually swap out...

Receiver Help If your TV has an HDMI input, connect your receiver (which it sounds you are doing already) using the HDMI cable to your TV HDMI input. This will ensure that you get the best picture available from your receiver. You will also need to check in the manual and see if your...

Receiver Help If your tv has two component inputs I would connect the Cable box and the receiver using the components cables directly to your TV. If your receiver has a component input you can connect the cable box to your receiver and then the receiver to your tv with one connection. (I...

Panasonic HTIB I looked up the unit you brought and it looks to be a very good HTIB. I really hope you enjoy your purchase. With regards to Dolby Digital and DTS, these are activated once you put a movie in that uses one of these formats. On some movies you can pick either Dolby Digital or...

HK Receiver 235 Glad to hear that HK is standing behind on their product. Let us know how it goes with the new one when you Get it.

Receiver Help I'm not quite I understood correctly your question, but I think that if you are happy with the picture and sound of your Panasonic HTIB then that is all that matters. These forums are great for many of us, myself included. But in the end, it's you that makes the final...

Harman Kardon I had a Pioneer Elite that used a sound card similiar to computers for the sound output. When I lost all the sound is was due to the DSP card in the reciever which cost alot to have replaced (After the warranty). I have never heard of Harman Kardan having that problem but it's...

Pioneer 816 The Pioneer models tend to do well on both. The yamaha receivers tend to be more musical in many people's opinion. I recommend that if you have a chance, to listen to both models. Some people like the Pioneer for music while other prefer the Yamaha brand. I think you can not go...

Pioneer 815 Enjoy your purchase. I brought the 815 a while back and have loved the performance of the Pioneer. I have it in my bedroom right now because I have an Onkyo in my main system. The 815 has proven itself to be quite a receiver. I have heard so many good things about the current...

Refurbish Receivers Quick question. I was interested in purchasing the Mordaunt Shorts for my bedroom. How do they sound in your opinion?

Refurbish Unit I have brought several items from accessories4less. I am lucky as I live in Orlando and I have gone straight to their location to buy the items in person. I have been dealing with them since 2000 and have brought speakers (AR 312HO) not made anymore, DVD players (Onkyo 702 just...

Pioneer Elite I have to agree as well with the previous post. The VSX-1016 is basically a rebadge Elite. The Elite line may have better DAC's then the standard line but you would be hard press to tell the difference when listening to the low end Elite models. The Pioneer VSX 1015 has received...

Pioneer Vs Yamaha The 1% THD is not going to be noticeable at all. I have the Pioneer 815 which is identical in the specs with regards to THD and in normal to very high listening I had no issues whatsoever. I have the 815 in my bedroom and my Onkyo in the living room driving my main system...

Yamaha VS Pioneer The group may need more information as to what your needs are but with regards to the Pioneer you may want to check the VSX 816 and VSX-1016, the latter having HDMI inputs and THX Select for $ 499.00. The previous version, VSX 1015 has received many great reviews and is...

Multi DVD Changer I would also consider the Onkyo C702 six disc DVD changer. I have had it for a month now and it has a great picture as well as the ability to hold six disc as oppose to 5 on others. I also have the unit connected to my receiver via coax so my receiver is producing the sound...

Components Vs Composite Cables Thanks everyone for the input and information on this topic. It's great to have a forum like this, and have questions answered in a friendly atmosphere. I really appreciate it. Thanks once again. Gary

Composite Vs Components cables Thank you for answering my question. The first part of your answer was for my question. I have a receiver with 4 components inputs but only had three sets of components cable so I attached the last gear using composite video cables in lieu of components meaning I...
