Customer Review: sirius hook up
I like the pioneer system I purchased. I need someone to tell me how you hooked up the sirius connection. I already called and have it turned on to sirius but need better reception. Does anyone know who I can call to install an outdoor home antenna?
Customer Review: Excellent Purchase
This receiver was perfect for what I needed. I noted older Pioneer models elsewhere for more than the Amazon price of this one. I am completely happy with this receiver and may actually buy a second one for the basement.

Customer Review: Stopped working after 6 mths
This seemed like the best deal for the size tv I wanted. I first had a problem with the delivery. I was told the tv would be set up for me as long as I had the tv stand, but the delivery men said they were not authorized to do that and just brought the box inside. After having the tv for 6 mths, the picture went out. I called the customer service # and the rep said to hold down 2 buttons at the same time. When I did this, smoke started coming out of the back of the tv. They said they would send someone out to fix it in a wk, but no one showed up. When they finally did come they said they had to order a part and would be back in a wk. It has been over a week and still have not heard from them.
Customer Review: Great TV
I bought this television after looking at all the other options out there and I am really happy with it. The screen is great and the pictures are incredible. I use this with my PS3 and the games look good and the screen works great with all the fast action of the PS3.

Customer Review: Alpine IVA-W205
This is the third Dvd unit i have used, tried Clarion before and that was ok, tried the Jensen 9021ts and it is actually a really good unit for the price, but nothing comes close to the clarity delivered by the Alpine in both sound and video. Have no reason to use the navigation feature, so cannot comment, but can guarantee if you are looking for a head unit to build around. Alpine does not dissapoint
Customer Review: Amazing Unit
I have had the Alpine IVA W205 for about 8 months now and I couldn't be happier. The controls are very easy and put right where they should be. I have never once had it skip or not read a disc. Screen works perfect in sub-zero temps. It fits perfectly in my 2005 F150. I have had several people ask me if it is factory because of how clean the install looks. I am unable to come up with any downside. I would highly reccomend this unit to anyone considering it.

Sony STR-DA4400ES 7.1 Channel AV Receiver

The STR-DA4400ES 7.1 channel AV receiver continues Sony's heritage in providing an ES AV receiver that will distribute high definition content to a 2nd room of the home. Its multi-room capabilities don't stop with HD; this model also can distribute audio to multiple rooms (up to 3). These multi-room features are accompanied by custom control connections (i.e. RS-232C, 12 volt triggers and IR in/out) necessary for full home integration. Now, you can start a HD movie in the living room and finish it in the bedroom or listen to your favorites songs from your iPod player, Walkman player or PC (accessories sold separately), located in the living room, on the patio in the backyard.

In true ES fashion, this model incorporates new audio technology by having the ability to decode direct stream digital (DSD) audio sources. So, the abundant HDMI connections (6 Inputs) provide ample room to incorporate a SACD Player with a HDMI output (SACD Player sold separately). This new model is compatible with 1080 60p/24p, deep color and x.v.color video signals. Finally, the STR-DA4400ES features BRAVIA sync for theater with one touch control, digital media port input for use with MP3 portable players or personal computer (accessories sold separately) and is XM and Sirius Satellite Radio ready.
Customer Review: Great Product but know its limitations.
I have spent about a week with the 4400es and it is without a doubt a great and versatile product. I have my cable box, pc, wii, ps3, xbox, and hd dvd all hooked up to it. It all sounds and looks great. There are however some limitations you must be aware about. For one, you cannot use a hdmi to dvi cable for output. If you use such a cable to plug into your tv the receiver WILL NOT ouput sound for any Hdmi connected devices, in any way. period. (non hdmi connected devices will still work in video and sound) If you have an old DVI TV you will have to connect the video through the component inputs/ouputs and assign the HDMI connection to component video. (you cannot assign hdmi to any other audio input!) You will still get full dolby hd, dts hd, or linear pcm, but your video will be coming through component. Got it? good! (if you have an hdtv with hdmi you dont even have to worry about this) Also there are some limitations with the GUI interface with component video. If you have resolution set to direct, meaning you are disabling the video upsaler, the gui interface will not work. It will come up but the scaler has to "turn on" while you make changes, and then turn off to resume direct connection. Furthermore, if you connect hdmi for audio and component for video, the GUI interface will have to scale to 480p to work. Basically you will see and hear flickering and clicking as the resolution changes from one format top another. Sounds confusing but you will see what I mean if you connect it this way. You can avoid all this if you just set GUI interface to OFF, and there will be no issues with the scaler kicking in on and off. Last but not least, the second zone hd connections offer no scaling or digital options. Make sure whatever you are sending the signals to can actually accept them. Furthermore, the second zone option must match your input. Component RCA output from the 2nd zone must match a Component RCA input. No mix and match with any other connections. hope this info helps future buyers out there.
Customer Review: Very versatile receiver
I bought this receiver because it covers all the bases. Almost every audio option is supported (Logic 7 would be nice but Lexicon/Harmon Karden keep that one on a tight leash). The GUI is very PS3 like which is okay with me however I find that it's integration with the remote to be less than desirable. The biggest disappointment is the lack of a switched AC outlet. I have a powered sub and the lack of the AC outlet requires me to manually turn the sub on. Oh and the calibration mic claims that my speakers are not in phase when I know for a fact that they are. I use a PS3 for blue-ray and it works well with the receiver but I can't get the multichannel audio programs to work when I stream the audio using the PS3 from my PC. I think that this is a limitation of the PS3.

Customer Review: Nice kitchen counter TV
Got this as an open-box item through Warehouse Deals which worked out completely well. The TV has, as others noted, a good picture and unimpressive sound; plenty loud, but tinny. But for a kitchen counter, it works, it set up rapidly and looks good whether on or off. And in the DTV channel era now here, the set is finding some very interesting channels being delivered by cable that I hadn't seen before.
Customer Review: Great television for the money
We love this television--it has a great picture. We purchased it for our bedroom to use as our wakeup alarm. You can set the tv to come on at a certain time to a particular channel. Money well spent!

Customer Review: Pretty... but big wireless problems
I'm on my third day trying to connect to my wireless router, which my regular laptop, my printer, and my son's laptop regularly do without any problems. I spent several hours with three different ASUS "tech specialists", and they simply go through a predefined routine... nice people but thoroughly useless. Two already suggested returning the unit... which is a huge inconvenience. In two different forums, several other posts report wireless problems. ASUS posted a "fix", which means they know of this problem, but the fix did not execute in my Eee. Bummer...!
Customer Review: Nice and small
GOOD: Nice and small device. Very easy to carry everywhere - only 2 lbs. Frequently do not need to carry charger because of long battery life - 6hrs max and about 4 hrs if processor-hungry applications running. Very fast - comes from standby in 5 seconds, all normal applications work without any delays - Skype, Firefox, Chrome, Outlook, Picasa, bookreaders, and etc. BAD: Purchased with Amazon-recommended additional 2GB memory, but can not easily install because 1008HA does not have a memory door. Actually it runs well with 1GB, but I wasted money on additional 2GB. Later Amazon placed a notification on their site that 2GB is difficult to install, but still offers to buy it. Also, personally I do not like hi-gloss screens, but it is not a big issue. COMPARED TO: Before purchase compared 1008HA to MSI netbooks and found their keyboard wierd - Fn key in place of Ctrl and too small keys "." and "," CONCLUSION: Completely satisfied. Also, I'm considering buying 1101HA later when it becomes available to get 11" screen with higher resolution and longer battery life.
