DCDi vs. HDMI
Sorry, let me rephrase that again:As far as I know, DVD players with DCDi do NOT carry HDMI connection.

Never mind, I have a web site that got even more closeup pics:http://www.crunchgear.com/2008/09/03/harman-kardon-avr-7550hd-72-receiver-announced/I think it looks fantastic! Very simple design and modern. I would like to see reviews on this Flagship.

It would be nice to see what it looks like. The image is not working and I think the web site took it off or it's not loading correct on the IE7 and Firefox browsers. We'll just have to wait until it comes out for reviews. I am sure it will look v...

Loomisjohnson, very good advice as I did not know about power rating. It looks like electronic manufacturers display a very misleading information for consumer.I suppose most of us will never know what you are really getting unless you are a sound...

Rotel rsx 1550 or Onkyo 906

I was looking at the Arcam 350 and it looks great. However, the power rating is pretty low (100 watts @8 ohms per channel) considering the price $2500 and weighing only 35 pounds. The 350 reminds me of the Sunfire Ultimate Receiver II which I just...

I was looking at the Pioneer Elite SC-07 and the Onkyo TX-NR906. Anyone of you prefer one over the other?The SC-07 seems to be a lot lighter than the TX-NR906. I wonder if the amp within the SC-07 is less quality built than the TX-NR906. Any of yo...

5.1 vs 7.1
Very good information from all. I am trying to figure out why than electronic businesses would make a 7.1 receivers or processors and 7.1 multi-channel amps if there are no DVDs made for a 7.1 configuration.You ever notice when you sit in a movie ... 
Sunfire Ultimate Receiver II
Hi KennyT,Actually, I used the S-Video cable to connect from the receiver to the TV but did not work. I also tried the composite single cable from the receiver to the TV and that did not work as well. The UR II does not have HDMI connection on the... 
Running Speaker Wire through Drywall
Thanks everyone for all the help!Regarding the fish tape, does the fish tape have a weight at the end because if it does not have weight, it will be very difficult to slide it down the other hole that goes through the basement. Can you control the...
