Unfortunately, I don't have another M2 drive that I can test. I do have another motherboard that I can try it in, so I'll give that a go. I'll start the RMA process in the interim, it seems like my best option at this point.

I stayed up way too late last night banging my head against the wall trying to figure this out and following every bit of advice that I could from increasingly less-related google searches... I just (mostly) completed a build for my parents, and it includes an Asus Prime z370-a motherboard and...

I bought a Denon AVR-x4200w last week and got everything hooked up. I am very satisfied. Thanks for the help. I've got my family room wired up with 5.1 surround and the pair of speakers over my back deck/patio set up as zone 2. It worked great for a neighborhood get-together/cookout that I...

I decided that I can't ignore my [H] nature, and I'm pulling the trigger on a x4200w. Thanks for the help everyone.

That helps, thanks. Since I currently have no sub and only plan to get 1, I'll probably be fine with the regular MultiEQ room correction. Honestly, the 910 is probably more than I need still, since I will most likely only scratch the surface of the features. The computer enthusiast in me is...

Yeah, I found that thread, and it's a great comparison of the different models. You're right about the warranty difference (2 and 3 years). The 910 has Audyssey MultEQ, and the 4200 comes with Audyssey MultEQ XT32. I honestly don't have the greatest quality speakers, so I don't know if it's...

What are your thoughts on the S line? It seems like the AVR-S910W has just about everything that I need. I don't foresee myself needing the power of the X4200W.

Thanks. This is definitely not a sector in the market or brand that I have any experience with, so I appreciate your insight.

Thanks, that's some great information. I don't think that the speakers were wired by the builder (house was built in '86/'87 and the speakers/mounts are all newer than that). I'm not good at telling at a glance, but I think they're 12 guage wires. The best part of the whole set up is that the...

I thought that "party mode" was just the receiver sending the same source to all zones (not sending coordinating multiple receivers), at least that's the way Yamaha's version of "party mode" is described. Regardless, I don't really need my basement speakers to be synced up with my family room...

I don't think that I'd get a full surround receiver for the basement, since those speakers are placed to provide coverage of the whole oddly-shaped space; however, the ability to network multiple receivers is intriguing. I didn't even know that was an option.

I don't have much experience with audio. I had a set of 2.1 computer speakers in college, and then lived in a series of places that kept me from cutting loose with the audio (apartments, historic town home, having a baby). About 2 years ago, we bought a home and the previous owners left nearly...

Thanks, I'll give it a shot.

Well, that sucks. I purchased the brown box version of the 2255's (didn't come with WinTV). If WinTV has the feature that you're talking about, I saved more than $9.95 by going with the brown box (the cost of WinTV) so I'll still come out ahead. A part of me is opposed to dropping $10 on...

I'm using an amplified splitter. I know that the Hauppauge tuners are pretty sensitive to signal strength. The tuners in my server are coming through the same amplified splitter as my TV. Silicondust used to have a great QAM mapping site, but it is no longer available. I think it went...
