I'll give you hand with that. I'm rather good at gadgets.

Thanks guy. But I got it all hooked up. Just having trouble figuring out all the various audio modes. My older Pioneer AV was a lot simpler to operate. But i'll sort it out. :cool:

My personal experience with most consumer receivers is that every audio mode except for Dolby 5.1 and just plain old stereo are completely useless. Most audio modes change the nuances of the programming by adding reverb and sending it to other speakers. If the audio engineer/producer/director thought it would sound good that way, they would have mixed it that way to begin with.

Everyone reads such great books. I kinda wish I read big boy books too:biggrin1:
In all honesty, I recently finished the Dark Tower Saga written by the always out-there Stephen King.

Now these books took well over 30 years to complete, and I have to say, it is his BEST books. ( Well after It, The Stand, and Shinning) Let's just say the best Saga books. I really enjoyed them, and his imagery in these books.... You actually felt like one of the characters. Stellar books... IF you have a few weeks to read all 7800 pages of the books, it is WELL worth it.

Chicken soup for the Soul, isn't that bad either:rolleyes:
