Lately, however, most dvds stop playing part way into the movie (CDs work fine). Only brand new discs play. I cleaned the player using a special dvd cleaner disc and this did not...

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I just set up my YSP-1000 last week. For the record it is wall mounted in an almost square room 22X25 ft.

Sony STR-DG810 6.1 Channel Home Theater Receiver Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)I got this for it's HDMI switching capability. It does this well and that's a welcome accomplishment for $300 at this point in time. There is now 1 cable! from the HD DVD player to the recvr and 1 cable! from the satellite recvr and 1 cable to the plasma monitor. That's pretty exciting in my book. The...

Sony STR-DA3400ES 7.1 Channel AV Receiver Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)It's nice to be able to switch up to 4 HDMI components and have only one HDMI cable going to your TV carrying the audio and video signals. The auto calibration is pretty accurate and very simple to perform. I purchased a $275 sound pressure meter to check this. I have to say that my audio settings were...

Harman Kardon AVR 335 7.1 Channel Surround Sound Audio/Video Receiver Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)After our old receiver died, we looked around for a replacement in the sub-$500 range. I admit that when buying the old receiver, I was suckered by the more-watts-is-better argument, but after reading about the power management Harman Kardon uses to give cleaner sound, we decided to give the 335 a try....

Denon AVR-1709 7.1-Channel Multi-Zone Home Theater Receiver Review

Average Reviews:(More customer reviews)Think of hookup this way: The HDMI basically carries only video to this receiver. If you want this receiver to send audio directly to the speakers, you must use the audio connections. The cable HDMI connections do send video and sound to the HDTV via the HDMI cables (as if you would ever want to use...
