Raf, welcome to Club Polk. You have your Yamaha amplifier correctly connected to the left input on your PSW110. You should understand that the frequency control on the back of the 110 isn't a full...

RF, welcome to Club Polk. You didn't say how many Monitor 40IIs you have. Assuming you have two of them, they have to be wired to the surround(not rear surround)terminals in your receiver. If you...

The music Berlioz composed marked a decided change in the sound of classical music compared to his predecessors. His Symphonie Fantastique is the most often recorded, and should be included in every...

The opening episode will be repeated Wednesday evening(and at certain other times). The first showing of each of the five episodes will be on Sunday, with the final episode, covering Jesus's death...

Dizz, you don't specify exactly what "wires and plugs" you need, and by using "cheap" and "best" as opposites, you may be under the misimpression that there's a close correlation between cost and...

As you were already advised, the 1 female to 2 male adapter isn't what you need and there's no reason to buy it. If you get a 1 male to 2 female adapter, then yes, two of those 8' cables(if that's...

Those inputs are on a sub, of course, and therefore they're subwoofer inputs. As mentioned in the manual, the RCA plug on the coaxial cable can be plugged into either of the two inputs(they join...

The subs aren't connected together. Each one is connected with a coaxial cable to the sub output on the receiver.

Shostakovich composed his great 10th Symphony in 1953 following the death of the leading classical music critic in the U.S.S.R., one J.Stalin, whose scathing "reviews" of some of his work had made...

Valkyrie, a coaxial cable with an RCA plug on each end is used. For several years I've used these cables in various lengths. They do this very simple job as well as it can be done and there's no...

Keno, you'd need only one "Y" adapter, but it would be one male(to plug into the sub output on the receiver)to two female(two coaxial cables with RCA plugs would plug into it and then into either...

No; Yamaha's DSP "presence" modes don't operate in the same way that the surround expansion modes from Dolby PLIIz, AudysseyDSX, or DTS Neo:X do. Yamaha adds content not present in the source...

JB, the 717 has been downgraded in comparison to the 709 in a key aspect. The Audyssey MultEQ XT has been downgraded two steps to the 2EQ, which has far less powerful filters and, most importantly,...

Chris, note that there's a 25% off sale until 12/16 at Shop Onkyo, which would make the net cost, with a $10 credit for registering for "Club Onkyo", about $364.

Chris, for an excellent receiver at a price well below your budget limit I'd suggest the factory refurbished Onkyo 709 at Accessories4less for about $450. This has more than sufficient maximum power...

Ken, the main problem with your present equipment, as other replies pointed out, was clearly the sub. That's now been solved with the excellent VTF-3MK4 you've ordered. The next step, however,...

Yes, once you've calibrated the speakers to equal volume at the listening position by adjusting the trim controls for the various channels in the receiver, that balance is good for all volume...
