    Yamaha RXV-661 HDMI stopped working

    Hello, My receiver in my home theater just stopped working. We watched a blu ray via the PS3 last night with no problem at all. This morning, my wife went to turn on the rig and noted that everything turned on as normal (displays came on) but there was no video on the projector. She also noted...

    Fluance XL7F Floorstanding Loudspeaker Review

    I am intrigued by the company. I think I may go ahead and order the ES1's with the matching center due to better WAF and actually having a center to match (I need a matching center and my wife prefers black speakers;)). I reallize tall thin speakers won't have the thump you describe but I do...

    We Review It, You Win It! Fluance XL7F Loudspeakers!

    1) What is most important to you when buying home audio speakers online? The most important to me are consumer reviews and price. Positive reviews suggest quality (bang for buck) which kills two birds with one stone. 2) What brand of speakers would you compare Fluance to...

    Yamaha Aventage RX-A720, RX-A820, RX-A1020 Receiver Preview

    Question Hello, I haven't been around much because I've been happy with my gear. Well, I am ready to replace my Marantz SR-8400 in the living room. It has no HDMI and a couple of the connections are going bad on it. The display doesn't work either, so I cannot change the assigned inputs and...

    HELP! who should I call for this problem.

    I agree with this 100%. I have 4 different time warner boxes and connect them all this way to avoid lipsync and handshake problems. My TV's look identical as to when hooked up to HDMI. Pat

    Verizon iPhone Anyone?

    I have a 3GS that is jailbroken because I couldn't stand AT&T's nonsense of making one pay $30 a month to tether my own minutes to my laptop. Works perfectly. Verizon plans to let users do this for free I hear. I won't switch until they offer a better unit such as one with more storage...

    A/B switch question

    MDS, Thanks for the response. Yes, it's actually more of a "source switcher" with the two sources being speaker level inputs. I actually found a switch made by cables to go that actually does just that (switches two speaker level inputs from one or the other to one set of speakers) since I...

    A/B switch question

    Hello, I haven't been around in awhile as I have been satisfied with my setup and had no more questions (until now). I have a long, rectangular bar/theater in the basement with a PJ and screen setup on one side. I have a 7.1 system down on that end powered by a Yamaha 661. I just bought a...

    Pandora users

    Pandora One is the subscription service and is certainly worth it to me. I listen to Pandora all day and work and most of the day at home. I never have any commercials and it never asks me "are you still listening?". It also has a nice desktop app if you ever use it on a computer. I use...

    Is It Time to Drop Cable TV for Netflix, Hulu Plus and Antenna?

    I actually like cable, no problems with it at all. I consider it a fixed cost for the convenience it gives me. I do also have a Roku XDS, HTPC, PS3, Wii, and streaming blu ray players which give me the capability you describe, yet I still like having the convenience of cable. To top it off...

    Netflix Streaming Does 5.1 Surround Sound with Dolby Digital Plus on PS3!

    Nice! Now I just need to wait for my Sammy Blu Ray player to get the firmware update too! I wonder about the Roku XDS I'm thinking about getting for my bedroom? Pat

    Verizon iPhone Finally Seems Confirmed

    The android is about as sleek and sexy as a refrigerator; that thing's huge! Clunky OS compared to iOS IMO. Reasonable competitor for sure, but better? Not. As for Verizon limiting function, there will most certainly be a jailbreak for it. My jaibroken 3GS does everything it's supposed...

    Measuring Pandora Radio

    I like slacker too, but absolutely hate the stupid obnoxiously loud commercials. Can't stand it so I don't listen much. Pat

    Measuring Pandora Radio

    I've been paying for pandora one happily for a couple years. Absolutely worth the cash. I listed daily in the office and on the weekends at night on the patio. I go way over the 40 hours per month. Honestly, I'd pay more than they charge. It's that good. Pat

    Redbox Announces Blu-rays at Walmart - Soon Everywhere

    I like streaming older movies on netflix, other than that this makes redbox to go to place. Blockbuster has just become even more irrelevant. Pat

    Thin TVs - Some Get It, Some Don't

    I just bought a 55" LCD (650 series) to be delivered friday (can't wait:D). I set out to buy a set like yours but they stopped making it. I guess the thin revolution caused that too! I didn't need thin, which is the reason I went LCD instead of LED. The picture was indiscernible to me...

    Samsung LED HDTVs

    I am going to get one of these, likely a 61 incher to replace my old school toshiba projection TV in the living room. I like flat panel too, but as we are not replacing the amoire we don't need to depth savings. I guess I'll take the money savings instead. Pat
