    Stream video (with audio) from laptop through receiver?

    Thanks so much! I had just about given up, this was my last ditch attempt. I won't be able to check for a few days due to my work schedule, but at least I have some hope now!

    Stream video (with audio) from laptop through receiver?

    Hi All, I'd like to stream some movies onto my tv, passing though the reciever (whats the point of watching a movie on the 'big screen' if you can't use the 'big speakers'?). I have a Yamaha RX-V765 and connect the laptop via HDMI, which works fine but no sound. Could I also use a 1/8" cable...

    Have you used the second zone before with A off? You should be able to turn on Zone B separately through either the remote or front console?

    Enter to Win: SVS PB12-NSD or a SB12-NSD!!!

    Question 1: What are the SVS Bill of Rights and which is your favorite? A list of promises & standards. I really like the idea of being able to upgrade within 1 year. I think a lot of people just starting out (or starting out with a limited budget) (myself included) will find that...

    Looking for a short but brutal reality check

    Any way you can compare the two first? I'm not familiar with either, but my inclanation would always be to save up for the best product you can afford - much better option than going for it now, regretting your purchase & having to start saving from scratch for the Gold Towers...

    A few pics...

    Is the center speaker tilted down? My fronts are above my tv, I angled them downward using a laser pointer for reference and it made a world of difference. ...and cute dog, btw!

    advice for new system

    1. Really, the most important specification is what sounds best to you. Listen to as many different brands/lines as you can in person and make your decision from there (maybe with some help of online research & your dealer). What do you want - something that looks great in graphs, or...

    New to Home Audio

    Save up as long as you can to get the nicest equipment you can. Not that $ always equals better, but theres no sense in buying something today you're just going to want to upgrade in a year...

    The Black Key's latest album.

    The main dig about the Keys is that once you bought 1 album you didn't have to buy any more (because they all sounded the same). Things started to change with A&R, seeing them open up & experiment a little more. For the most part, their previous albums more closely resemble Magic Potion more...

    The Black Key's latest album.

    The vinyl single is a 12" that plays from the inside-out! I was so tempted, but ultimately passed it up... There was a great article in Mojo about the recording of Brothers (when the album first came out). They recorded it with an engineer at Muscle Shoals instead of doing it themselves in...

    cat proofing speaker grills

    This doesn't really help to answer your original question, but keep a spray bottle with water close at hand - the cat will learn pretty quickly there are undesired consequences for going near your 60's!

    Should I go with Bookshelf Speakers + Sub, or Tower Speakers?

    Welcome to an addiction that will plague you for the rest of your life! (and you'll love it). Anyway, my first suggestion is to listen to speakers first, if possible. My second suggestion is to save up as much $ as you can - no point in buying a pair of speakers that will only disappoint...

    Enter to Win: Velodyne EQ-Max 10 Subwoofer!!!

    Questions 1. How do you buy your high-end audio products today? Why? I prefer buying from a Specialty Retail Store - I'm nervous about spending a fair amount of money on something I haven't heard before. That being said, I've recently noticed some online deals that would make the risk...

    Getting back to vinyl!

    Great choice for getting back in to vinyl. I have one and I love it. My sister bought one for their household & they love it, too. The Debut has a built-in phono preamp so you don't need one & I'm pretty sure it connects using standard RCA contacts. I say go for it & start saving for...

    Good Record Cleaning Device?

    I'm in a similar boat. I really don't want to spend that much, but there are some convincing arguments for it. There was a review of the Spin Clean in the Vinylphile magazine a few issues back... Vinylphile Magazine : Magazine Seems like a pretty good endorsement. I've heard others that...

    What do you use to clean your records?

    I just tried to play an old 7" from my collection and it looked terrible, but I thought I'd try anyway. Well, it sounded as bad as it looked. So, what do you use to clean your records?
