I was never aware that electrical outlets could be a source of reception trouble for TV sets. Back before most Americans ever heard of "Walmart", there were mom and pop TV and stereo stores. People had TV sets and stereos in their homes. The typical home stereo had a phonograph, radio and tape...

That is not convenient and it is not elegant. Pulling the little dual Wi-Fi antennas off the back of the audio receiver did in fact help a bunch!! My FOX channel and NBC is still bad whether the receiver is on or off but channels with good reception are no longer interfered with by any RF...

There is nothing wrong with the sound of the audio system itself. The audio receiver is screwing TV reception up, however. The audio receiver itself is not the victim of any kind interference but rather the suspected perpetrator of interference (pixelization) upon the television broadcast...

The antenna is already in its optimal position for TV reception without the audio system powered on.

As a cable-cutter, I have an indoor television antenna for digital broadcasts. It has a signal booster as well. I live in an apartment and that is my only option for a TV antenna. I have a Marantz "networking" audio receiver (Model NR1200) with Wi-Fi connectivity. I suspect that RF transmission...

Revised shelf arrangement removing unsightly LED clock.

I beg your pardon? This is a COMPUTER and it is a media center device. And no, this device was not intended strictly for audio reproduction.

PS - Here is a picture of the computer with the former original front panel that is of a style that doesn't fit the aesthetic of an audio-visual center as well. It had rounded contours on the top and bottom edges with perforations in sheet metal making it look like the head of a giant electric...

However, the gaming PC will be shut down under the following conditions: 1. watching live local television broadcasts: it severely interferes with the signal-boosted indoor antenna even in SLEEP mode 2. watching DVD/BD movies 3. using DVD player to play music CD's 4. using the phone to stream...

Using the equalizer for the free Musicolet music player app from Google Play Store installed on my Motorola Moto E6 Android 9 phone, I am able to make adjustments to frequencies that make the high-hat symbols come in crisp and clear even on my humble Dayton Audio speakers. This of course...

Here is what the manual says about a "front speaker". Does this improve ambiance in the room in some way? What is the purpose of connecting a "front speaker" that uses a power amplifier according to Marantz?

Here is what the Marantz book says about setting the speakers. The term CROSSOVER is not used in the book. There are TEST tones and making physical measurements of speaker distances. The manual mentions LOW PASS FILTER. Speakers Make speaker-related settings. Subwoofer Select whether or not...

The forum title said COMPUTER in it so you show me. I'm from Missouri. My gaming system is in fact a computer and it is not silent to boot. As far as I know this machine produces "digital audio" sound. If the mods here can find a better category for my thread, please move it there by all means...
