Sorry for the delayed response, no, I haven't had to lube it yet and luckily I haven't had to replace the cartridge (whoa, did they increase in price!!) I'm sure you will find what you need at Beoworld, that's usually where I go too. Best of Luck!

I have a B&O TX-2 with linear tracking, so I won't be much help, but here is a site with some instructions for cleaning your cueing cylinder: http://www.turntablebasics.com/advice.html Best of Luck!

O.T. A Sunfire pre-pro would be a great match and Outlaw is a quality brand also (my brother has an Outlaw setup) but my preference would be an Aragon Stage One. You can still find them new if you look around and if you want used I'd try Audiogon. Best of Luck!

Pass through, bypass, etc. allows input signal (sound from inputed device) to continue through without any processing when device is off or set to this mode. Looks like you might want to check and see if there is a switch to turn off to stop this "problem". You need to "break the connection" either by turning off the pass through switch or using an alternate wiring method or inserting a "breaker box" which cuts the output of your CDP to the Behrenger before it gets to the pre-amp. In essence, it's like leaving a light switch on with no bulb in the socket, "We all know we shouldn't stick our finger in the socket" because there is still electricity going through it. Same principle here, even though the Behringer is off (bulb out of the socket), you still have a signal (switched on electricity) going through the wiring you have hooked up to it, and in this case, you hear the sound (i.e.screaming out in pain) because you have your pass through either actively or passively (finger stuck into) open to the pre-amp (the socket). Best of luck!

Coytee, Sorry to hear about her uncaring family members, but it sounds like you are on the right track. Move the stuff to the garage (easier to donate to a worth charity if they don't remove it) make a list, send it certified giving him a reasonable time to make arrangements for removal of said items. Edit: (Same as what Sheltie Dave said, only he did it quicker and better[]) Here's link to "Abandonment of Property Laws" which may be helpful: http://www.cga.ct.gov/2006/rpt/2006-R-0164.htm

You're welcome, and BTW, welcome to the forum, you will find lots of great information here, so enjoy! As to your question, I am presuming you are setting up a 5.1 system, if so placement is usually on the rear wall about 7' high and about a foot in from each side wall to allow the angled side (wide dispersion) speakers to reflect off of those walls and "envelop" the listener. For movies this has worked well for me for the past several years. Back channel information (in 5.1) is usually minimal so you want it as an "effect" not as your "direct" sound, because that comes from your fronts and center. The only time I really notice the surrounds specifically is when an effect (such as helicopters flying) goes from speaker to speaker. You can mount them flush to a wall stud with a large head screw if they have the keyhole on the back, if they only have a threaded insert, or you choose to have the flexibility to "aim" them down or to the side as I did, to focus them a bit more toward the reflective walls, give Omnimounts a try they have a threaded insert attached to a ball mount which allows up/down and side to side movement for you to experiment with for the best room sound for you.

Here's a link to a similar question, about halfway down I dropped in a link to wall install instructions, http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/thread/727408.aspx Hope it helps, let us know how you do..... EDIT: Ok, after posting, I checked the link and while it takes you to the discussion, the link in that thread no longer works, so here is a link to your manual, see page12. Also, my sofa is against the rear wall too and my surrounds are mounted on Omnimounts to the wall above the sofa and slightly tilted down. http://www.klipsch.com/media/products/owners-manuals/reference_om.pdf Best of luck!

I use KSF-S5's, but only have a 5.1 system, either should work out in a 7.1 set-up. As for mounts, I've used OmniMounts for years without problems, go with the better quality "ball-mount" style and you have almost infinite side to side and up/down adjustment possibilities. Best of luck!

The manual shows that the center has a threaded mount, so I'm guessing that you could find a corresponding OmniMount AB-1 bracket or similar brand which would work for wall mounting. Here's a link: http://www.omnimount.com/consumer/product.aspx?ProductId=1a9e55e9-a2b3-4052-944d-3b7816535001 Best of luck!

I'm using KSF-S5's they do the trick with Heresy II's and a KLF-C7 center for me. They show up on e-bay and Audiogon on a regular basis, just make sure you can pick them up or they pack correctly as it's easy to crush the corners or knock loose a driver when the delivery apes go to work[] Best of luck!

I've read the manual, fairly comprehensive and looks like it would work well. I considered it a few years ago when it was bundled with Viewsonic's AirSync wireless touchscreen to control my system. The downside at the time wasn't the Nevo software, but the fact that the Viewsonic was a remote screen rather than a standalone product. Because it required a computer (around the time HTPC's were just begining to come out) and that it allowed only a choice of using the computer or the AirSync, but not both at the same time, I took a pass. Let us know if it works for you and maybe I'll take another run at it with the Ipaq. Best of luck!

That's how mine works, one input for regular tv, a 2nd for surround sound, that way I don't always need to turn on everything just to catch the news or if I'm watching late at night. Hopefully this solves you problem with a minimum of fuss. Thanks for getting back and letting us know how it's going for you. Best of luck!

What Wuzzer said................depending on how many outputs your cable box has try connecting the cable picture to the tv via DVI/HDMI and the optical to the AVR, then if you have a component out on the cable box, connect that and L/R audio to the tv on an alternate connection, this way you should be able to watch tv w/sound from tv speakers on say, "TV-1" and tv/DVD with surround from the AVR on "TV-2", occcasionally with Sony products you may have to mute the tv speakers if you don't do the double set up so the surround and tv speakers aren't on at the same time, this also works in reverse and sounds like the trouble you are having. Go into the Menus for both the TV and the DVD to see if one is muted it's a default for Sony on setup and caused me a similar grief. BTW, each of the Sony manuals has pictures of cable setups as well as the menus and are good to have in front of you when setting up like Oldbuckster said. Best of luck!

I used to use wire ties, but every time I had to move something I had to clip them all off and start over. Then I tried wire loom, but the number of wires and varied thickness' made that a mess too. I'd suggest computer wire loops, they are nylon straps with velcro ends so they can be reused. If you have many heavy cables, you may want to try a wire run attached to the back of the rack to take some of the hanging weight off of the connectors at the components to avoid breakage. Here's a site with many choices to help you get started looking: http://cableorganizer.com/ Best of Luck!

Guess the "top of the pole" picture didn't attach the 1st time, so here it is.......................

Some good ideas all around, in the "olden days" we used a combination of sand and cinders for traction without the environmental effects. By the way, no whining until "the snow tops the pole" and you certainly don't have the corner on bad driving during storms, check out our parking lot ala 1967[]

Bill (Silversport), No sweat, always a pleasure to talk audio and "play" with someone else's gear. By the way, re:RTFMS, how do you think I figured that out? Like most guys (I know it's a stereotype) I been known to rarely read the manual or ask directions, resulting in some "interesting" adventures and aggravations. Guess that's part of the fun of this hobby, hmmmmmm?

Congrats again Michael! Since I get up at 0415, I'm sure to be the first to call. BTW, if it's anything like the first day of a new school year, you won't be getting any sleep tonight anyway.........it's the A N T I C I P A T I O N []

Jim - Thanks for saying how most of us feel about Amy. Having met Amy at the Indy Pilgrimage and from thread responses I've read, she does go the extra mile. Amy is the kind of moderator any forum would be proud to have, no personal agenda, lets us stray a bit, then reels us in if we go too far astray. As you may note from my low post count, I don't make many posts, I prefer reading and learning from others more learned, answer when I think I can be helpful and appreciate those who have taken time to answer me when I have requested help. This forum is a wealth of knowledge and I'm happy to avail myself of it (kept me from making too many mistakes[]). And to Amy.......

Simple answer is you need to number each entry and then use a quiry by number to print out only the report you want. That will keep you from running multiple reports into one printout. You may also want to tweak the report in the design feature by adjusting the parameters (like the old typewriter tabs) think about the ruler which shows under the toolbars when using MS Word. Bob I sent you an e-mail if I can help further.

Sounds like a wise decision with these crowds [] as for rear projection tv's, I have two, a 60" 1st Gen. Sony LCD which I just replaced the bulb on after 3 years of hard use and it's just like brand new, and a Samsung 46" DLP which had two color shift problems after about a year, but which Samsung Customer Service handled by replacing an expensive chip box without any hassles to me. I can recommend both and as for the angle problems, I don't have any when sitting the proper distance back from the screen (I'm in the kitchen now at about a 60 degree angle from the set without any picture loss) unlike display distance in a store (when you are on top of the set there is a greying out of the picture at angle view). Best of luck in your search!
