[1st Home Theater System]

I recently got an incredible deal from Good Guys.

I took advantage of an error in one of their ads

for the rf3II system and the denon 3802. Originally this system was selling for $2799 before taxes. In their ad, they listed it with the denon 1600 dvd player

which wasn't supposed to be there. When I brought this up to the manager(after much arguing) he agreed to throw it in the package for free($499 value)! On top of

that, I also got 10% off for buying a package over $999 and 12 months no payments or interest! They also

threw in 3 year warranties for the denons because of the trouble I went through. total price: $2800. This is the system I recommend as the sound is insanely good. The only thing I need now is more surrounds to take advantage of the extra amplifiers that the Denon gives you. If only my wife was more understanding!--JB

Thanks for the responses. Boa, I went to the monster

cable website to check on the products, and your

cable was supposed to come with the splitter. Unfortunately mine was not. No big deal however, 'cause

I can go pick one up easily enough. ---JB

[y connector on ksw12?]

Anybody use a y connector at the sub on the ksw12?

I'm using just a monsterbass 300 from my amp (denon 3802) to the LFE input of the sub. The level is all the

way up and the crossover is set to 120hz(80hz on the denon), front speakers set to small. The sound in movies is incredible, music is pretty good also but I

was just wondering, if I added the splitter, what

difference would it make? Thanks, JB

[DVD setup]

Thanks for the responses, I'm going to hook them

up right away. Any favorite DVD audio disks to suggest?

[DVD setup]

I recently purchased a Denon 3802 with a Denon 1600

dvd player to use with my rf3II system and was wondering which setup is better, the optical out of the

1600 or the 5.1 ch out to the ext in of the 3802, or both? I currently use the optical out and was wondering

if there was any advantage to hooking up the 5.1 ch out. Appreciate any advice, thanks--JB

[Cable/Wire's for RF3II system]

I hooked my system up with some RCA 14 ga wire I

bought from Home depot for about $35 for a hundred ft.

I did biwire the center and mains. The sound is

amazing! Even without any tweaking, the Eagles "When

hell freezes over" sounds just like you're at the concert in 7ch stereo. I still need to do some configuring on the DVD player and the receiver, but I

just ran out of time. Thanks for all the advice!

[Cable/Wire's for RF3II system]

Danny & Dougdrake,

Thanks for the input! I need all the advice I

can get as this system is a huge upgrade from my

old HTIB pro logic system. Hopefully I'll have my

system up and running this weekend. Thanks Again, JB

[Cable/Wire's for RF3II system]

I just recently bought the complete ref. 3II system

with a ksw 12, Denon 3802 and a Denon 1600 dvd player.

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions on what

speaker wire to use as there are many choices out there. Biwire or not to biwire? My room is about 16x14

and my right main will have to go under/over a doorway.

I'm on a tight budget, but I know I need quality wire

and inter-connects for this system. S-video or compsite? (I'm going to upgrade my TV next year for componet). Thanks, JB
