Hi
I am new member in this forum and I am delighted with information given by members on various subjects
I have bought a 5.1 Onkyo AV receiver (HT in Box) few years back and last year I redid my living room which I use for Viewing Movies and listening to Music. I have 46" Samsung LCD TV and did a lot of complext wiring by breaking the wall. 3 HDMI and 3 component cables are buries inside the wall.
My AV has following inputs. Bluray, Samsung Bubble DVD Player, World Space Radio. One lead for IPod, One for Tata Sky and ofcourse one for a custome built PC. I have also changed the speaker to Bose speakers (Book Shelf speaker for L and R) a center speaker and two small one for Surround Sound. I did not know Bose is such a favourite amoung forum members (ha ha ha this is a huge embarassment) though they get lot of 'WOWs' from visitors.
I have following questions
I am using Otical cable for connecting Bluray, PC and Tata Sky as my AVR does not have HDMI inputs. I have connected these with HDMI to TV. The advantage is I can listen/watch from TV even if the AV receiver is switched off. Do I have to change my AV receiver so that I can use HDMI inputs for all these
Though I am reasonably happy with the sound, I feel that I am missing something esp when I watch movies in Bluray, I feel I am missing somehthing in Audio. If I have to change the AV what should I go for? Or should I junk the whole stuff (Speakers and AV) and buy new one. The other problem is since I live in a flat I dont have a dedicated Home Theater. My living room is 'L' shaped so I can not completely close the HT viewing area. Also there are 2 huge french windows and the grills rattle if i increase the volume or with High Bass.
I am not able to connect my HMV TT (old one) to AVR. The sound reproduction is bad. I have good collection of LPs and I am using a pair of creative speakers and Subwoofer to listen fm Turn Table. Pro FX is suggesting that I should put a Denon TT with a Phono In. Will this help?
Pleases suggest what i can I do to improve my HT experience
Sorry for writing a long post
Many thanks
