Home theater sub is not working?

New Home Theater Receiver?

  • I had a coupon and gift cards for Best Buy and ended up with the LG LHT874 boxed home theater system. Big mistake on my end. The DVD player crapped out and the unit is not working the best. Any recommendations on a new unit? Here are my guidelines: - $300 max with shipping - Keeping same speakers and small sub, appeared to work fine. Unit pushed out 1000W. - As 'low profile' as possible, as the wife doesn't want a big bulky thing - The TV I have is an older 46" Samsung LCD, full 1080p - Comcast HD box and upconverting DVD player will be hooked to it. (Bluray someday..) Thanks! Feel free to email me with more questions, [email protected]

  • Answer:

    Those speakers are nowhere near 1000w, HTIB setups are always way overrated, its more like 300 im sure. But Id with a Pioneer receiver, they are inexpensive and are packed with features, mine was 150 new from Best Buy last year and it has 3 HDMI inputs and it upscales with HD passthrough, it puts out 120 WPC and looks real nice. Then go with a powered sub for the extra bass, they are pretty cheap on Craigslist. You could still use the LG speakers if you cant afford more, or go with a set of bookshelfs. They wont be bulky and the right brands sound AWESOME!

Avoid the "all-in-one" things - get a separate amp/speaker unit without the DVD player. One with an iPod dock (or the ability to add one) might be nice. Just tell the store guys what you're looking for (5.1 sound, no player, low profile) and see what they suggest. ------------------ I would still start at the store. before you go browsing Amazon and such, you need an idea of what brands and/or models might do the job for you. I have a Sony STR-KS360 myself that fits your description, but I bought that 6 months ago - it may be discontinued already! That's why I suggest visiting some stores and seeing what they are pushing that is currently available.
