Hey everyone, I just purchased my first home this September and the first order of business is getting the basement set up for a modest home theater system. The previous owner had done some work and was using a 7.1 system, but the research I've done so far has me thinking that this space isnt...

Hi from Bharathi....

I used to own a couple of TOTL Onkyo receivers... The TX-NR905 and the TX-NR906. I really liked them a lot but they both succumbed to the dreaded HDMI board failure. This year, I decided it was time to look into a new receiver. I ended up buying the Pioneer SC-67 at Best Buy for $1200, about...

I have owned an M&K MX-100 for about 15 years. I think it is very good with movies, but cannot do music well. I am trying to decide whether to buy another used MX-100, two HSU VTF-15H subs or one Kreisel DXD-12012. My dedicated room has a concrete floor and measures 22x17x8. I would appreciate...

Just sold my Anthem AVM 20 on ebay and will probably be getting a 709. A few questions, please: Anyone have any experience with buying Factory Reconditioned from Accessories4less? I'm planning on using my 7 channels of external amps (Anthem+Parasound). Will I be able to do anything with the...

Well as my thread tittle reads, I am currently in the middle of building my own house so alot of my time is devoted to other priorities around the house. The house is dried in and I have almost finished all the electrical and comm/data wiring. With all the other things going on, this could turn...

I've had my sc-57 for about a week and enjoying it and leaning it. I tried to set up a second HDMI out to a 22" monitor but after several tries I am left with no audio or video through the whole system even though I've done several system resets. Anyone got any ideas?

Hi, I received my unit today and it had no manual, downloaded the manual online and not really helped. I have a Yamaha RX-Z11 amplifier and from this at the moment I have a single RCA connection between the amplifier and the subwoofer. I am assuming that I now need to put the BFD between the...

I wanted to post a short note to say I just purchased the Elite PRO70X5FD. Those that know me, know I have been an avid Sony fan and customer for the past 30+ years. I've been shopping for a new TV to replace my aging Sony KDS-R70XBR2. For the past four weeks I've been struggling over...

hi, I would be very thankful if a fbq2496 owner could give me the chemical capacitor values on the fbq2496 processor board. I was in the process of modding it and removed all caps without paying attention that there was no label about values, which is the first time I see that in behringer...

Hi all, I found this site by searching the web for Velodyne DF-661. I currently have two pair of these speakers, which I have been using in a 4.1 configuration with a 15 inch Velodyne subwoofer. I would like to find three more so I could go to full 7.1 audio. I currently enjoy my LG 32-inch...

Hello, I am trying to get into contact with the person who currently owns the Fosgate FAP-V1 Dolby PLII Tube Processor, signed by Jim Fosgate, numbered 6. This unit was offered for sale in February 2011 on the London Craigslist. A slightly changed advert appeared again one month later (see...

Truly an old duffer, born in the Hoover administration. I don't have a real home theater, just a living room with three CHT SHO-10s up front and a pair of Epik Sentinels hidden under a home built 9 foot long unit. A pair of old Cambridge Soundworks dipoles are hanging from a 13 foot peaked...

I received my Oppo BDP-93 yesterday. The first thing I noticed was the weight difference. It is much heavier than any DVD/BR player I've experienced . It's almost as though there is something actually inside the case. I hooked it up and loaded Pink Floyd "Pulse" for a test. It is amazing how...

I currently have a Mitsu HD1000u, i have loved this pj from day one and it has never given me any problems. Although I am itching to upgrade to full 1080p HD. Any suggestions on a good 1080p PJ under $1500? Thanks
