sony dav-x1 hooked up with motorola PVR

[Bose76]

Mom needed a simple HTIB so I went out and got a good deal on the sony dav-x1 for $599 on boxing day. He sold me component cables for vid and a digital optical cable for sound. The TV in question is a 42" Hitachi rear projection. It has connections for stereo, component, and s-video. I hooked up the component cables from the sony dav-x1 straight into the tv. The only option for the digital optical cable was from the PVR out into the sony dav-x1 for sound.

The system works good for DVD but since we get alot of movies through the PVR, we like to have it on for that as well. The problem is; I came upstairs and my mom had the sony system almost full tilt on a PVR movie that shouldn't need the volume that high; but this movie was a romantic comedy and it seemed to need the extra volume just to hear it comfortably. In anycase, the static from having the speakers that high was soooo noticeble and annoying that I started to question the purchase.

I'm thinking if I had the option to plug directly into the TV instead of the PVR it would be a more direct route, hence better sound. But, I only have the stereo inputs on the TV for extra speakers.

Frustrated.

Thanks

Buy a 3-2-1 system, that should fix the problem.

Sounds like it was just the soundtrack to the movie. However you could have done better with your $600 than a HTIAB, IMO.

3-2-1 not good

I haven't heard anything good about the 3-2-1. Overpriced and mechanical problems. And I realize $600 can get a 5.1 system with twice the ability but like I said that wasn't the point.

I was joking about the 3-2-1, hence the grin.

The output on the dvr may be lower or the soundtrack to the movie not have been very good, I don't think there is anything wrong with the Sony HTIAB.

you're correct sir

Seems that you were right about the output of the movie. Its working fairly well now even though we don't use it much.
