  1. Also, make sure that your DVD player is set to output DTS signal. You can usually access this in the audio setup portion of the player itself (not the disk). On my player (Panasonic), you have to remove the disk to actually get to the player's setup. Also, make sure that your receiver either auto-detects or you set the source input type to DTS in. Hope this helps, Phil PS: Long live Uncle Jimmy (Beam)!
  2. Keith, Thanks for the heads up. Cheers, Phil
  3. Hello all, I'm in the process of upgrading a pro-logic based system. I'm almost certain that I'm going to purchase the Yamaha RX-V1 receiver to power the system. This receiver (in case you didn't know) provides for a "matrixed" center rear channel and two 35w front effects speakers in addition to a regular 5.1 setup. I currently have a set of KG5.2's that I would like to use for the front mains. I need to find out which current Klipsch products would go best with the 5.2's. I'm using a Polk center channel speaker that I hope to upgrade in the not too distant future, but at this point I'm most interested in obtaining speakers for the three rear channels and the two front effects channels. I have a set of Klipsch IW-200 inwalls that are in very good shape. I was considering using them as part of the system, but after looking into it, I'm not so sure that would be a good idea. The primary purpose of this rig is HT, though there will be some musical use as well. If the IW-200's are not suitable for use in the HT, I can just place them in the house distribution system somewhere. The room in which I will be placing this setup is 16.5 feet long by 14 wide. The video display is a 45" pioneer rear-projection unit. In order to get the couch a reasonable distance from the TV, I have had to place it against the back wall. I need to know, in addition to which set of surround speakers will best match the 5.2's, where I need to place them: on the back wall firing forward, or on the side walls firing across the couch. As for the front effect speakers, what do you think would be a good option? They are relatively low power, 35 watts/channel. The rest of the receiver is 110w/ch. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Phil
