NYRAGE

Yes, rather than buying the cd player, I've been looking into dvd players. My buying habits have changed lately. Being a newbie, I've got to do lots of research before buying any audio products. I'm obsessed now by looking at reviews and by looking for the best possible price from authorized dealers before I can buy anything.

All, thanks for the advice. Just a couple of more details: I connected my speakers with Monster Cable MCX-IS and pins. I got the Monster Lock Connectors with the master pin. It's kind of a tight fit on the back of the Denon to get those pins connected. My dvd player is an early model Toshiba. That's what I'm currently using for my cd player. Yikes. I'm planning on getting a cd player this week (or perhaps an upgraded dvd player although I dislike not having a multi-change player). The dvd player doesn't have an optic cable option, so it's connected by coax. My only optic cable hook-up is between the Sat. Dish receiver and the Denon 3802.

My budget is a little tight after just buying a house and the receiver/speakers. I'm sure I'll wait off until next year for the rear and center speakers. I'll end up buying a sub and amp next more than likely. By the way, I need to replace my cd player. I've heard that the Denon 370 has great sound, but a lot of people end up having problems with it. Are there any decent cd players around $300? Thanks

I just bought a Denon 3802 receiver and two Klipsch RF3-II speakers. I'm basically an audio equipment novice and I'm wondering what I need to do to in order to get the most of this system as a basic 2 channel system. Eventually I will be moving into building a surround system. For now, should I buy an amp? Equalizer? Sub? Any settings that you like? I used Monster Cable and a couple of digital optic cables. I wasn't too crazy about using pins when connecting the speakers. There isn't a lot of room in the back of the Denon. Thanks.
