  1. Are you trying to convert this for your iPod? If so try Videora iPod Convertor, its works pretty well. If your having trouble decrypting, try DVDShrink to make backups of you discs. I never had a issue with it and any encyrption.
  2. I'll second this. I'm a medium double-flange size, but getting an extra set or two would be nice to have around.
  3. It's most likely the BASH chip on the amp for the satellites. Their is the ProMedia 5.1 Forum. A ton of threads on this issue. One solution seems to be http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/t/90312.aspx otherwise you can try and call Klipsch and have them fix it, if they still offer the service, or a guy named Elliot might offer the service to replace that and more(can't find threads right now).
  4. I always keep the case with me as it stores my iTouch and them nicely. I do wear them about 30 minutes to an hour each way on my commute. Then use the at night and on weekend. Nothing sound wise has changed, I only noticed it since the OP mentioned it. Prof Thump, you have a PM with some additional links. For the others to see, here is a small version of one shot.
  5. This might help. http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/t/90312.aspx I don't nor did have the issue. Proceed at your own risk.
  6. I haven't done it, but this is what I would think you can do. If you pull the amp off the back of the box you should see they two leads connecting on the sub. I am presuming the subs are in series (i thought I say a post on this, saying 2 - 3ohms in series for a 6 ohm load), so most likely one is connected to the other, and that leaves one cable off each sub to the amp. You can get just a backing plate to run the wires to. You would need to get an external amp to drive it then, otherwise you would have to look at getting a backplate amp, something from like partsexpress.com. Problem with that is sizing, you would need the dimensions of the amp and the cutout on the sub enclosure and get something to match. This would be tricky and might be easier to plate the back up and go with an external amp. You maybe changing the internal volume and thus the sound a bit, but its definately easier to go this route. As for the rest of the speakers, you can technically hook them up to a regular A/V reciever, again, the ohm rating is a little lower I think, just need to be careful not to overheat the amp. I wouldn't worry about wattage that much, as they should be 60watt speakers, and having a 100watt amp isn't bad, atleast you should get a clean signal. Aleternatively, if it's like others...this thread might help. http://forums.klipsch.com/forums/t/90312.aspx I can not vouch, so proceed at your own risk.
  7. I saw your other post in the serial thread. I'm going to take pictures tonight to post to help Amy and others see exactly what we are talking about.
  8. I think by him pushing this to audioholics it opened eyes. I saw this come along onto slashdot as well, after that, well you get tons of attention. It puts Monster in a bad spotlight regardless of going infront of the judge or not. Like someone said, the public will find out, but if you look at the power the internet hold, you can see how quickly this got moved around on different boards.
  9. Wasn't it earlier then that? Granted I'm in NY, but as I saw news of the 5.0 earthquake on the TV at 4:40am EST...so wouldn't that put it at prior to 3:40am? (I take a 4:54am train into NYC if you wonder why im up so early.)
  10. From the looks of the GMX manual, seeing the connections on it, vs the ultra's. I would say, No. The GMX module has the inputs on it(like you want), but uses a DIN uplink back to the subwoofer to send all the audio signals to be amplified. The Ultra's have the 3 1/8" jack inputs for the 5.1 input. The Ultra's control module uses a din connection to the control unit, but doesn't carry any of the signal per-say(just headphone?), its more just for volume/sginal adjustment. The ultra's get in input fromt he 1/8" jacks. If you have both in hand, are the DIN connecters even the same? I would assume the decoding is actually done by the sub-amp plate on the GMX system, and thus a digital/analog steam is sent over the connector from the control module. The Ultra'ts lack this. Best bet is a a DD-5.1 or some other surround processor like a Technics SH-AC500D. I have both, but use the later on my Ultra's.
  11. Most likely the amp....atleast that's what I have been seeing from threads going back to 2004. If you have the ultra's the headphone out will still work, and you can tell its the amp for sure. I guess you could open it up and look to see if you see any burnt out electronics as your first clue. If Klipsch doesn't offer the service anymore, it definately past warranty, I have seen posts by an Elliot who does work to fix the weak/bad parts in the amp board. Try searching. The more I read the board as of the past month I get an uneasy feeling. I've had my v2.-400's since they came out, and my Ultra 5.1's are on 24/7 for the past year'ish. Knock on wood for me.
  12. Hmm, i just looked at mine and I think I know what your seeing. Both mine have small rips on the top side of the sleeve, the left ear is large then the right. I don't think it is meant to be.... i do wear them daily and have had them since end of Dec.
  13. I don't have the Custom 3's but I do have the Images. I bought a Headamp Pico portable amplifer w/DAC(to connect to my PC) and for use with my iTouch. To me, it definately makes a noticable difference with a lot of material. The soundstage is much improved, and the headphones seem more dynamic with the ablility to really be cranked up. I thought they sounded good when connected to the iPod, which they do, but then i got the amp and it's like a whole new world. I think the iPod's and such don't have the power output to really drive the headphones at alouder volume. The bass hits a lot harder with the amp.
  14. Yes it will work. It is the same type of cable, your just using it to transport different kinds of signals over it.
