I i'm new around here and would appreciate if anyone could help me. I have a problem with my system. When I use the system in the "AUX" mode the sound is perfect but when I change it to "TV" mode it's much lower and I need to have it on max volume in order to hear anything at all. This happened this week so I would appreciate if anyone could help me. Thanks in advance.

Hmm... Is the line out from the television "fixed" or "variable"? In case your not familiar with these terms, fixed outputs are indepenent of the volume setting on your tv.. and variable is effected by the volume setting your TV. Sounds like you are on variable and maybe someone accidently used the wrong remote (or wrong mode on your remote) the turn the volume down. If they turned the TV volume down instead of the receiver volume, you arent getting a hot enough signal to the receiver and you cant get it loud enough.... try to turn the volume on the tv itself up a bit and see if that helps (not too loud though, cause it will overdrive the input of your receiver and cause distortion)
If that is the case you may want to check to see if your tv has connections for fixed audio output, or a setting in the menu to change the output from variable mode to fixed mode. That way it wont happen again.

You see what I mean?

By the way, you arent supposed to post the same question on more than one board....

I have had a problem develop recently with my Lifestyle 38 (well, I've had several problems, but I can't solve this one). When I'm watching TV and the Lifestyle unit is broadcasting in PCM 2.0 mode, my rear surround speakers have a distorted sound on some channels, and no sound on others. The front speakers and bass module sound fine. The distortion in the rear surrounds is not present when the Lifestyle unit is playing back digital media such as DVD's, CD's and digital cable channels. I've checked all my speaker connections and everything seems as it is supposed to be. I've also gone through all the settings on the Lifestyle system to no avail. I even ran that stupid setup DVD that comes with the system, and the sound comes out just fine - no distortion anywhere. Any suggestions (besides buying something that actually works the way it's supposed to?)

i have a bose lifestyle 30 system and my question is.....when you buy quality hi-fi seperates the dealer will always tell you to throw away the leads supplied with it and upgrade to a quality phono lead which always does make a massive difference......but the bose is supplied with these flimsy little leads and there is never a mention on upgrading them!! any answers/thoughts??!

I need some help setting up my home stero system.
I have a JVC-XVC26U DVD player, Scientific Atlanta cable box and I want to plug it all into a RX-V657 Yamaha receiver then from there into a Toshiba DLP.
I want to use the receiver to control it all.
Can anyone send me a list of the right cables needed and where each one goes?
Thank you
