I have the VSX-850S PIONEER receiver and it does the job the instruction manual has the 811 in it also it has 7.1 hook ups and the suround back channel can be configured to power a secound subwoofer VIA the speaker inputs on the back my 850 rocks and it would be a nice starter for you. When the receiver is hooked up right using a good power surge and no hookups to the receivers power supply I rarely go past 45db on the dial too loud my RF3II's light up the neighbor hood my neighbors son prefer this sound over his adcom set THX cert.

I have watched several shows in HD on the ABC Networks pearl harbor the sound was so unbelievable that i wanted to toss out my DVD castaway when the plain went down whew all in 5.1 dolby digital I have dish network and don't see myself paying 600.00 for their receiver to get HD when I get it for free now on the air ways CBS, NBC, ABC, WPWR, WGN, AND PBS

I had some remodeling done on my basement and the HVAC (furnace) sucked all the dust from the drywall and deposited it all over the place after cleaning all that up and changing filters something said look in the backof your RPTV it had enough dust to film a movie so i cleaned it broke out the THX Optimizer and voila new picture after that i cleaned it twice a year every year until bought my HDTV cleaning your set is very important extends tyhe life of your tv because the crt's are just burning the dust into the lense killing your pictureby the way the new HDTV is superb I cant go back to standard tv.

The little Nemo movie was excellent even on my HDTV the images were stunning and the virtual aquarium was a nice touch also the sound track was good bass was nice when the sharks were chasing dory and marlin everything else superb if you want a rteal visual feast look at A Bugs Life the shadows in there are unreal when the grass hoppers go underground looking for food.

Fellas the Terminator 2 is out on the market and it lacks the DTS tracks on it just DD.ES the picture quality is clearer but my other disk has more to offer and they only give you one version of the movie for your dvd players the special edition the original is in high def but you need to watch it on your computer first you need to download Media Player 9, get permission from microsoft with a security key of some sort your computer must have xp professional, media player extras, 3.0 ghz or better 128 mb video, and 252 mb ram(a super computer) so you've wasted your money if you got rid of the last Terminator 2 by the way I got mine at Walmart for $14.20 when bestbuy and circuit city wanted 19.99 by the way if you got company coming over Die Another Day is the one to impress them with the sound on a scale of 1-10 "15"

Hello everybody my first time posting. I had this exact same problem, I was moving the DVD player from one room to another and I went to carry it under my arm and the disk hit the back of the player. I saved 4 out of 5 disk and killed play it to the bone DVD after that the movie skipped like school girls playing jump rope so i put it back in the sleeve and dropped it off at the video store never to be seen again. When I opened the back up it was no joke getting them out.
