    I ended up with the Sony DN1040 - very pleased so far! Thanks again for all of the input

    Anyone ever owned a Marantz? I'm looking at this one: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-jbsZCVitRxx/p_642NR1604/Marantz-NR1604.html All of the reviews say that the audio quality is great even though it has low wattage on the specs
  3. Home Theater Audio
    I am on Bitstream. The loudest time for it is in the menus when the PS3 is just outputting PCM audio. Movie it isnt as bad, but still enough to be annoying
  4. Home Theater Audio
    I have the original PS3 that has the internal PSU with the grounded plug I read about a lot of issues with the PS3 humming I've tried running the receiver on a separate outlet on a different breaker and it remained. I also tried snipping the grounding pin from the plug - didn't work so I...
  5. Home Theater Audio
    I can get the audio hum with my TV powered off. I didn't pull the AC plug, but it makes me question an oddity I had the other day. The PCM buzz is loudest with my PS3. When I toggle through the different on-screen menus of the PS3, the buzz actually gets slightly louder and softer depending on...

    I dont have the issue with DTV usually since most audio sources are sent as DD to the AVR. The issue shows up mostly on my PS3 Some people report ground loop issues, but I've determined that it is not caused by a ground loop I'll try the optical connection tomorrow just for fun
  7. Home Theater Audio
    I've always run HDMI audio from from source to the receiver to ensure I can receive all of the HD audio codecs. My understanding is that optical is limited on the new HD audio codecs and limits me to 5.1 audio. I have a 6.1 setup I'll dink around with the optical cable, but If I replace the...

    My onkyo 606 apparently handles PCM like crap and there is a very annoying hummmmmmm when playing anything with a PCM audio source. Anyone aware of any current AVRs that also suffer from this issue? I want to stead clear.. So annoying
  9. Home Theater Audio
    Thanks for all of the input so far Any particular way to search for the older models being phased out? I know I can find it, but wondering if there was a quick way of finding the older models
  10. Home Theater Audio
    My Onkyo SR606 is crapping out on me and I'm looking to replace it. Can anyone recommend a nice replacement in the $500 ballpark?
  11. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    So component from Genie to TV directly, issue resolved. I tried to run component into my AVR and output to HDMI to try it - no video at all after assigning the component to the correct input. Turns out my HDMI board on my AVR is dying based on some Onkyo threads on the sr606 (component inputs...

    I forgot to mention that the HDMI cable I'm using is brand new as of this Friday. I tried using the older one and the same issue
  13. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Only thing that puzzles me is that the Stars on demand works fine and the live stream does not. Is there a major difference in the video format from the live stream vs he on demand download? I'll try the component cable just to see what happens :)
  14. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I have not What about the component might make it work over the HDMI? Are these channels encoded differently than the others that could cause an issue over HDMI?
  15. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I browsed the thread and I did not see any specific mentions of the issue I'm seeing after the 0x07e5 firmware update I'm having two issues (the second being the worse of the two): Dolby Digital output from my HR44-500 stops. It will only send PCM to my receiver once the bug has taken place...
  16. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Since this is a family forum I can't say it the way I really want to... Rich, the hr44 just plain flat out kicks butt. It just responds to every command every time. And frankly, unless you do use the darn stop button all the time, the rc71 is a fantastic remote especially in rf.Think, of it...
  17. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    Hr44-500 connected via ethernet... Zero issues here over two months of Genie use

    That's interesting since abc didn't have a football game last night. They had NASCAR. :lol:
  19. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I was told that all they install is the 44s in the Atlanta market as of my upgrade a few weeks ago
  20. DIRECTV HD DVR/Receiver Discussion
    I have my receiver set to dolby ex and it up mixes all 5.1 to 6.1 and does a pretty good job of it. I think this is more likely the case than CNN sending a 6.1 source
