    No sound output from Marantz NR1501

    Try a soft reset (disconnect power for 5 minutes) and if that doesn't help, a hard reset (turn it on. While holding down the VCR/DVR button press the ON/STANDBY button, “Clear” will appear on the display and the AV receiver will enter standby mode). NOTE: Hard reset will erase all settings and...

    Really Boring Stuff Only III: Resurrection

    I believe the 818 is the only one with XT32 but not SubEQ.

    Since I've not compared them back to back, I'll defer to you on this one.

    Really Boring Stuff Only III: Resurrection

    IMO, 32x filter resolution bump on satellite channel and 4x bump on subwoofer channel is certainly worth it.

    JBL Control 28 as home theatre speaker!!

    You can simply bump up the Center Channel Trim on the receiver. This will not affect other speakers.

    Want to start building a system

    IMO XT32 processing with SubEQ is the feature worth having. My recommendation is to spring for the X4000. PM AccuDefTechGuy for good pricing on new.

    Mostly because the XT32 filter resolution is many times that of XT. Here is a comparison chart, http://www.audyssey.com/technologies/multeq/flavors

    How best to split analogue "outs" to multiple amps. It can't be as easy as a Y cable??

    Since the XDA has both balanced and unbalanced outputs active simultaneously, you can simply use a XLR to RCA cable and not have to fiddle with any splitters. http://www.monoprice.com/Product?c_id=115&cp_id=11509&cs_id=1150902&p_id=4786&seq=1&format=2...

    One of my NAD's died...need advice!

    If it ain't broken, don't fix it. Just get another 761 to replace the dead one, carry on as usual. EBay has plenty under $200.

    no sound from rear speakers in dolby on avr harmon kardon avr1710

    What were you playing in the previous house and which setting were you using? In the current situation, if you're getting any sound from the rear surrounds, they are at least hooked up. Did the auto setup correctly identify them? Play a Bluray that is 7.1 encoded. That way you'll be sure the...

    Preamp selections 2 channel

    After TLS Guy went through all the trouble to explain why balanced connections are unnecessary (unless one has long cable runs in an interference prone environment) and potentially detrimental (when circuitry develops bias) you go and post a pre-amp with... I chuckled :).

    At that small of a price difference, might as well get the X2000.

    First post, total noob. I need serious help.

    Welcome to the forum. This is indeed the right place to discuss AV stuff, though we're more focused on home theater than a commercial setup. A setup of this magnitude is best left to the pro installers. There may be an upfront cost, but, you'll reap the benefits of things done correctly from...

    Confused, Help with second AVR as Amp

    Is your X4000 zone 3 turned on? It almost behaves like the on-off for main power.

    True, but, a Type 1a Supernova brightness is not subjective. Here we're trying to define what Type 1a would mean :).

    ice pack on a receiver?

    The vents on top should be left open since hot air rises. Maybe you can put the ice pack under the receiver with a small gap for the air flow to be unobstructed... An ideal solution will be this combined with something like a vent hood (like those over a cooking stove) mated with the top of the...
