From being an Integra owner I can tell you that it is a cut above the rest. Hand selected components, massive torridial transformer and the list goes on. Not saying anything bad about the Denon but it isn't in the same class as the Integra. The DTR8.8 just got a glowing review in one of the A/V magazines and was compared to other receivers costing 2x as much. I say, go Integra, I did and am glad.

I recently purchased a Samsung LN52A850 (as some of you that read this will probably already know as you have helped with the set-up). Yesterday, I tried to hook up the S-Video output on my Sony Viao laptop to the S-Video input of the TV - Nothing. I tried to get into that port to see if I could configure it or anything and it stated it had no signal. I was using a good S-Video cable, I've used the S-Video output on my computer before so...

Well this morning i took the speaker out and placed it on the tv stand, and while the diffrence was not earth shattering for me, it was deffinaly there, and more than just a minor change, but better indeed. I still have it a few decibles louder than the original Audyssey setup, but at some poiunt this week i am going to run the setup again and see if it changes any. The only issue i see right now is that with my new tv the speaker is going to...

I have checked all of the items on page 96 of the Onkyo manual, no change. I am new to HD and have likely overlooked something simple....

Thanks DeadHead, there is a setting on the Blu-ray that needed to be changed.

Just getting back in to check up and advise, I took back the receiver and upgraded, if you will, to the Yamaha RX-V463. I am now getting what I had hoped for. I did notice in your footer, of the equipment you list that you own, owned, tested, etc. Yamaha isn't listed. Let just say, don't spoil it for me, at least not yet. I'll just hope you've just never had the pleasure.

Definitely--thanks much LTW!

None that I know of. They do make a device that will allow SD to other TVs and via a SD modulator you could send the signal over coax. See: Hooking Up A VCR To A HD Receiver HD modulators have copy protection issues that prevent any being available.
