*** THE OFFICIAL HOME THEATER & AUDIO THREAD**

[crazybalhead]

Very much NOT my cup of tea dey.

Nicely done though.

Then again, my house is just a setta lego and foam mats all over the place these days anyway.

Ok, I can't remember which option I changed, but at some point during the configuration of my audio, I seemed to have given total control of volume over to the receiver. So I can't change volume via the cable box or on my HTPC. I have to keep changing to rx on the universal remote to change volume.

It wasn't working like that a few days ago. I was getting normal volume control on cable and via XBMC.

I'm going to look over the setup, but if anyone knows what I might have changed, please clue me in.

Okay, according to the XBMC forum users, that AVR volume control is by design. Still hadda check cable, though.

actually changing the volume on your receiver is better than changing the line input volume via the source

a proper universal remote will allow volume control to be on the receiver and the channel control to be on the cable box

I'm using a Harmony 300. I don't know if that allows you to control multiple devices without switching between two.

edit: Apparently it can. I guess that answers that.

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

^ was just going to say yes of course it can!

[Humes]

The myharmony.com site doh seem to be working properly tonight at all, though. Just reaching the blue screen with the grey wisps and nothing loading after.

[Duane 3NE 2NR]

just download the Logitech harmony remote setup software from here
http://myharmony.com/MartiniWeb/Account/InstallSoftware

[Humes]

I was wondering why they didn't just have separate software.

That link just sends me to the normal set-up page...can you link the .exe?

[shagadelic99tt]

got these yesterday (z906) sounds better than the z5500 which i currently have...the z623 has a nice low bass...but these rock really well at high volume compared to the z5500...did a review online only to get feedback that the z5500 are way better than these...but went into radioshack and tested them side by side, had a different opinion!

[Humes]

I want an adhesive hook/spot hanger/button, like the 3M Command hooks, but one that will fit the keyhole at the back of one of my speakers. I'm thinking about just filing down a Command hook I have here, but if Bhagwansingh's or one of these places has a more appropriate option, I'll give them a try.

you sure a 3M Command hook will hold the weight of a speaker?

[Humes]

The larger hook is supposed to be able to handle 5 pounds. This speaker doh feel like five pounds at all.

I'm using Firefox 4 and not seeing any download software button...which part of the page is it on?

edit: Nevermind, found it somewhere else on the site. I think.

[M_2NR]

Well i woulda tell you click back n see my posts however someone deleted it cuz they believe to get a good quality sound (better than logitech) you have to break the bank and buy the latest and most expensive equipment and i prove them all wrong.

Check me on msn i go guide you.

[rodfarva]

Yeah, you can get a nice, balanced DIY sound system without breaking the bank
Or you can start with something g like a decent receiver and stereo speakers, then add components as necessary
