    5.1 Setup: Sonos Vs The Usual

    hdmi issues

    thanks, will check cable although we replaced all hdmi cables when we installed marantz (nothing worked with older hdmi cables). the projector is connected with cat5 converted to hdmi so not sure how easy that can send signal back to avr/blu ray. seems the lg is clever enough to send back a...

    marantz 8801

    testing the 8801. sounds very good in music and ht so far. very big improvement from rotel 1069 processor. small pointer though: it did not want to work with older hdmi cables (all sources and outputs were affected (erratic to not workig at all) by possibly 1 hdmi standard/cable that was not...
