Digital Cable Remote turns on Wrong unit
Usually Mitsub. vcr's have an a/b switch. Try changing the setting. It should, at least, stop the vcr from coming on. 
biamp with single posts?
No, you can't bi-amp without modifying your speakers. Some speaker manufacturers purposely only but one set of posts to prevent you from "messing" with their design. 
Dont Ship UPS, Marantz tuner DOA

Bi-amp Integration
Usually amps by the same company have the same gain, regardless of size.
