  1. oldbuckster...yes, the crow tasted terrible...had enough...as for the Azur 640C v1...listened to Dire Straits...Brothers In Arms...nice (older CD, had to goose the volume back just a bit), if anyone is looking for one of these, there have been several on audioGon...right after I bought this one, a v2 came up in perfect condition for $35 bux more than I paid...I checked back and I don't see it but there are a few v1s on there still...

    Anyone here know if it might be a quick fix or have any ideas why the button for the open close door would not work when the remote works fine as does the "play" button on the unit at closing the door??? Might it be as simple as reconnecting a wire (yes, I'm simple...I bet it's more than that...[;)])...I don't want to root around under the hood and damage anything but this part bugs me...

    Thanks

    Bill

    Bill,

    Just a thought. The Open/Close button on the remote doesn't do anything if the unit is in standby mode. Once the machine is "on", the Open/Close button should open the drawer.

  2. I have a silver Cambridge Audio Azur 640C (v1) that I was planning on putting up on Audiogon. It is in like-new condition. I used it very little and took it out of the rack when I added a Denon DVD-3910 to handle all of my disc media. I will sell it for $320 delivered (US only).

  3. The salesman at Ovation told me that these speakers were B-stock from Klipsch that had minor cosmetic defects. On his floor, he had a pair of RF-83 and a pair of RF-63. He said that he could not find any defects on the RF-83. On the RF-63, he pointed to very small scratch on the top. They only had cherry. He is getting me a pair of black RF-83. They have a 7 day return policy so I can compared them at home to my RF-7s.

  4. i have a pronto & cant get it programed to do anything but make me mad.

    i have a b&k ref 50,cabe box,dvd, & vcr.

    i just use a few buttons on each remote but have to use them all.

    i want somethingsimlpe or some help with this pronto 3000.

    Post some specific problems that you are having or send me an email.

    In general, make a device for each component. Make a page with simple ugly buttons and learn each control from your other remotes. Then make a nice looking page laid out like you want with the buttons that you want that are links to the buttons on your other page.

    www.remotecentral.com contains lots of downloadable files that contains really nice interfaces and also files for most components. I find it easiest to download someones nice-looking interface and then link the buttons to my buttons page.

  5. The Pronto TSU3000 works great. Look on ebay for some good prices. The TSU3000 added several hard buttons to the previous 1000 and 2000 models. This makes it much easier to use without looking at the remote. The software is also very easy to use.

  6. On the page for the Synergy SF-1, you get a nice table comparing the different Synergy models when you press the "Speaker Comparison" button. This is a very nice view that gives the user alot of information. It would be nice to include MSRP in this table. Most of the Reference pages don't have this button.

    It would really be nice to select various speakers across different speaker series (a Reference model and a Synergy model) and then display this information in a table of the selected speakers.

  7. 'Some missed catches, a few bad passes. simply could have performed better at times.'

    Sorry, but the team that does the above does not get to be the champion of the NFL. It must be the best performance of a team from an outstanding season, with motivated players and a very inspirational coaching staff. Nothing less will do.

    Just my .02, probably worthless.

    Yea, but that describes both teams yesterday!

  8. Larry Johnson's 9 games as a starter were amazing (he had 1351 yards and 16 TDs in those 9 games). It will be interesting to see what he does next year (assuming they let him be the man and not Priest Holmes). Apparently the Chiefs are in the mix for Terrell Owens. That could be a scary offense. Of course, Owens might just destroy whatever team he goes to.

  9. I don't think the Roethlisberger TD was a bad call. From the replay, I thought that he probably did barely break the plane. There certainly was no evidence to overturn the call.

    There were some really important bad calls that hurt Seattle.

    - Jackson should have had a TD. That was not offensive pass interference.

    - Phantom holding call on the completion to Stevens at the one. This was so huge.

    - Hasselbeck getting penalized on his tackle after the interception. Rediculous. Gave Pittsburgh great field position leading to their gadget play TD.

    - Giving Roethlisberger the timeout after the play clock had expired. Pittsburgh gets a 3rd and 6 instead of 3rd and 11. On the next play, they gain 6 1/2 yards and a first down.

  10. Lousy remaining WRs

    Post Season Stats:

    2. D.Jackson SEA

    3. C.Wilson PIT

    6. H. Ward PIT

    12. A. Randel El PIT

    Sorry I missed wear Engram and Jurevicious were named in the top 30??

    Those stats are a bit misleading due to Pittsburgh being one of two teams that

    played three games, although Pittsburgh's passing game has been at it's best

    this post-season.

    Looking at the regular season:

    Engram and Jurevicius combined for 122 receptions, 1472 yards, 13 TD

    Wilson and Randle El combined for 61 receptions, 1009 yards (very nice yards per catch), 1 TD

  11. Seahawks have another weapon. It's the cheerleaders who will easily distract the blue coller mindset of the steelers. Here is one of the Seahawks cheerleaders.

    It's pretty bad, when you know you have no legitimate weapons on the field, that you have to start pulling staws to come up with this one....

    Let's see.

    The Seahawks have:

    MVP RB - Shaun Alexander

    Pro Bowl QB - Matt Hasselbeck

    Excellent WR - Darrel Jackson

    Solid WRs - Engram and Jurevicius

    Steelers have:

    Excellent WR - Hines Ward

    Overhyped mediocre QB - Roethlisberger

    Fat RB who averages about 3 yards per carry - Bettis

    Lousy remaining WRs

    Steelers do have excellent defense so they will keep it close.
