Hello Mnnc,Here is link to the 40 ft. cable I bought.Monoprice HDMI I may buy some of the Monoprice RCA cable to run between the U-verse box and my recently acquired Rotel integrated. I have hope the U-verse variable volume will power the Rotel in...

Monoprice HDMI arrived this morning, test is done. The Monoprice is slightly better than Blue Jeans in 45 foot run but both benefit from the Oppo.Since the Monoprice is more than $100.00 cheaper I'm returning the Blue Jeans. Anyone else with simil...

Three Monoprice HDMI cables are due to be delivered tomorrow. I'll test them against Blue Jeans best (I currently own) and If Monoprice perform equally well, the Blue Jeans will be returned.I admit I would not have done this if not for the arrogan... 
Viva vs. WAVAC amps
Profundo took over after Terry had it here in Dallas. I don't know the linkage that was involved in this last transfer of distribution. I saw Bob at CES, he's a very nice and polite person. I hope he does well with VIva.

Crossovers, why so few options?
Jim S,In an attempt to get the most out of my modest system of Magneplanar 1.6's and older Arcam electronics I gutted the 1.6's of the passive crossovers, rewired them, and inserted a Bryston 10B. The change was truly transformational in all the w...

Nark,No, the current U-verse box I have is IR, the RF is an add on. I did not think about repeater for IR since I had such good success with DIrectTV RF all those years.I think what you're saying is maybe use repeater IR and let it control the U-v...

Here's the gadget. The battery replacement device goes into AT&T remote. When you use AT&T to transmit RF to U-verse box it works as normal.When you use the AT&T to transmit IR commands to Panasonic, it works in place of the stock TV c...

01-29-10: UnsoundThe Panny also has a TOSLINK output.I know, and how I wish the TOSLINK output had variable output volume, at the same rate as the TV onboard speakers. Man would that make this simple.

Mark,Albert- I use a Sony Rm-VL610 universal learning remote to control my system. You can program it so that the volume functions control an amp/receiver etc. But the channel buttons control your tv or cable box. It's only $30 and so far it has p...

You probably need to use HDMI outputs of TV to an inexpensive receiver with HDMI in. Then get some kind of very coherent horns and sit back 12 feet or more and enjoy real movie theater sound.I passed on the S series due to lack of analog audio out...

My wife is the main TV watcher, that option would require two remote controls. I bought a U-verse RF remote because the AT&T box is hidden. That same remote will run the Panasonic IR controls. Maybe I can program an IR extender to control the ...

Mhedges, Yep, I found that out. The Panasonic has not been delivered so I did not have owners book but got an answer from Panasonic help line.Looks like no way for the TV remote to control their own speakers plus another pair in the room. Seems li...

Learsfool, you summed up nicely what convinced me to go for the Panasonic 65". That and I cannot justify several thousand dollars more for the Pioneer, even if it is better.I'm really a two channel audio guy, the TV is for my wife and when I watch...
