DTS is compressed less than DD and in theory should sound more natural. I have switched between DD and DTS many times while watching a movie or concert and have found that the volume is usually less on DTS that on DD. I prefer DTS over DD and try to purchase DTS when available. This web site might be of some help.

A speaker in production for 60 years is unprecedented.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
What will be the 60th year of Klipschorn production? I believe the first year for the Khorn production is 1946, if this is correct I think Klipsch Corporation should start an advertising campaign and a big celebration for 2006.
Dose anyone know for sure what year the Khorn first went on sell?

You may have the component cables mixed up this could cause the TV to go into video mute.
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Also most VCRs do not have a component video output.
The older Denons would sense which video input (S video, composite, or component )was active and put the OSD on the same type output. If it had video on 2 of the video inputs say S video and composite at the same time it would default to S video output only.

So did you get the receicer out of NEO-6?
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
My Denon receiver came with a seperate sheet with codes for most brands of TVs and DVD players. You can also go the the Denon web site and download a pdf file for your receiver and remote.
Also my Denon remote can learn codes from any remote but this is not easy to do.
-------- --------- ----------- -------
To get DTS 5.1or 6.1 and Dolby Digital (DD)5.1 on a Denon AVR-3801
1) First you will need to be able to see the On Screen Display (OSD) on the TV monitor
The AVR 3801 OSD depends on which Video inputs are used. If there is no video on both of the Video signal input jack (yellow) and the S-Video signal input jack there will be OSD on both the Video Monitor Out (yellow) and S-Video monitor Out.
Connect one of the above Video outputs to your TV video in.
Make sure there is NO Video input signal to the receiver aT this time.
2) You will need to connect cables from the DVD to the Denon AVR-3801 for the Digital audio in for DD5.1 or DTS 5.1.
The Denon AVR-3801 has 3 Digital in Assignments for this: Coaxial 1 or Optical 1, Optical 2, Optical 3. It does not matter which input connector you use, the coaxial is cheaper and works fine.
3) You will need to select which (Digital in Assignment) you want for the DVD player.
On the Denon remote push the Setup button, scroll down and select "Digital in Assignment" if using a coaxial cable select "Coaxial 1" If optical cable is used select Optical 1,or Optical 2, or Optical 3. Make sure the input you select in the (Digital in Assignment) menu is the same as the cable that is plugged into the DVD player.
Also while in the SETUP menu make sure the ON SCREEN DISPLAY is selected and ON.
On the Denon remote push the MENU/OSD button to check the settings NOTE this toggles through several screens so you can check settings but will not allow you to change any thing.
Go to OSD-6 to make sure the digital assignments are correct.
4) For DTS 5.1 or 6.1 you will need to select DTS on the DVD PLAYER MENU. NOTE: the previews on a DVD may only be Prologic so make sure the movie has started.
Also make sure the DVD Movie you select has a DTS 5.1 or 6.1 sound track. Most movies do not have a DTS surround track.
5) Set the receiver to AUTO for decoding the type of sound.
On the receiver front push the AUTO button under ----INPUT----
6) The DTS led on the Denon receiver should now be on.

I HAVE A DENON AVR-3801 SAME AS YOU

It was not clear to me, did you get the DD 5,1 and DTS 5.1 working ? . I have the same Denon receiver (AVR-3801) and if you still need help I can tell you ever thing you need to do to get it working.

In the Analog mode when watching live TV you can select between NEO:6 or Dolby Pro Logic. This is NOT Digital surround like Dolby Digital 5.1 or DTS 6.1 Also in the NEO:6 you can select Music or Cinema mode. I like the Music mode for regular TV watching. The Cinema mode puts more of the sound in the front center speaker and the Music mode puts most of the sound to the front Right and left speakers.
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
On my Denon receiver I can select between Neo:6 and Dolby Pro Logic using the MODE button on the remote.
If you are watching a DVD that has both a Dolby Digital 5.1 and DTS 6.1 sound track you need to select which you want in the DVD player menu, Not the Denon receiver. If you Denon receiver is set to Auto select that's all you need to do.

Back in the late fifties and early sixties when stereo was new RCA had a line of LP labels called Living Stereo that were generally good performances and best recording of the time.

Buzz that changes with the Video signal (screen brightness) is a problem with the demodulator (TV receiver or VCR)
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
I bet if you move the TV far away from the Speaker the buzz will still be there.
What are you using to tune in the TV signal?

Back to the original question.
When did Klipsch switch from the pie slice logo to the Klipsch nameplate?<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
I have 1975 Khorns with gold on black pie logos.

Buzz in the audio that changes with the brightness or contrast level of the video signal is a common problem. It most likely is a problem with the unit that demodulates the Video/audio signal i.e. the TV, VCR, TIVO, SATELLITE RECEIVER. It can also be an over modulation of the Video from the TV station itself.
<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Try muting the audio off with the remote, If the buzz stops, the problem is not coupling into the speaker wires or crossover, but rather in the Audio itself.
If the buzz is in the Audio and caused by the demodulator try a different source to provide the video/audio signal. Example switch from using the TV as the tuner and use the VCR or SATELLITE RECEIVER as the tuner. -
Very nice work, beautiful walnut grain.

First of all they look like Honduran Rosewood.
The year made is 1985.
The type label looks like it has been altered.
I don't think Klipsch offered Brazilian Rosewood in 1985.
But in my opinion on $2450 for Rosewood Khorn is a good deal.
