    TV to 3 Way headphone splitter

    That's an awkward scenario to be in - that solution at least seems like it would work and possibly with less sound degradation than running really long headphone cables from a splitter on the tv. At the very least its a sub $25 trial with the three way splitter added in. Plus, if your gaming...

    Would You Rather: Go Cage Diving with Sharks or Snorkeling with Killer Whales

    I'll take the snorkling I don't think killer whales have ever attacked and killed a human. Plus, if not friend, why friend shaped? Just don't be a boat, sometimes those have less luck. I don't think the sharks are big deal either, those cages are made to withstand attacks. If you want my blood...

    321 series II + turntables + home theater use

    I want to preface this with, I'm not bringing you expert knowledge - there are guys here that know far more than me and if they catch this thread and want to jump in that's awesome. That Bose system doesn't have a preamp for a turntable so you could use it as one, but you'd need to add the...

    Samsung q850d sound bar has no sound

    There isn't enough here to really flesh out the cause but you shouldn't need any apps to make it work, between the remote and the wireless module that should be all it takes to use them. It seems more like there is a missing connection between the soundbar and the wireless module if it's showing...

    Yamaha RAV290-WR00240US QUESTION…

    I'd say its worth a shot at a cheap replacement and see how that goes. They're all over eBay for under $20 https://www.ebay.com/p/1200328112

    Marantz Protection Mode

    Since that's pushing 25 years old and was having electrical component issues there's not much we can reasonably suggest that isn't taking it to a professional or ditching it for a new model. At that age things just wear out and it could be any number of components or wiring issues.

    Getting “server error” for some functions

    This is a good workaround for anyone in need while the severs throw temper tantrums. It may not be 100% but it's going to be pretty decent.

    Getting “server error” for some functions

    Yeah, we agree. That's the general consensus we've had for quite a while, but upgrading a 25+ year old forum and site's hardware and software in its entirety simultaneously is not a very immediate process. Or a process that can be rushed if we want it done correctly/successfully. Until the ducks...

    Sony Bravia XBR 75x950h TV - Issues...

    I would expect a global cache, similar to to your browser cache on your phone or laptop. However, I plugged your model into ChatGPT to see what steps it would give and it doesn't mention one. Here's the exact steps it gives, keeping in mind its imperfect AI and there may be differences within...

    Sony Bravia XBR 75x950h TV - Issues...

    It looks like you're taken the initiative to do most of the basic troubleshooting already with no useful results. One thing I don't see mentioned is clearing the app cache/data. Its a long shot, but possible that if the cache is massive it could be slowing things down and causing problems. At...

    Monster Power HTS 5100MKII Anormal Voltage, Help Please!

    Are you able to adjust the brightness to it's original setting and see if the problem persists? It also may be a good idea to unplug your components and see how it reacts with nothing connected and reconnect one by one if that helped to find the problematic port or component. It's possible that...

    Getting “server error” for some functions

    Thanks for the heads up - I don't have the ability to restart that currently and it'll be a little bit before Jonathan is up but I'll text him so he can jump on and get that back up.

    Getting “server error” for some functions

    Sounds about right, in time for this quarterly site scan - we'll get it reset and back up but it may be wonky for the next several days due to the scan.

    How to access and change Real Name and Display Options

    Sorry about the delay here - your real first name is required in the terms and conditions, you'll see it on all members whos accounts were created post 2006. We want a community of real users and we want personal communication so we're all on a first name basis. (You can see our exact verbiage...

    Marantz 1602 Problem with LG Oled

    Since no one had any input I plugged it into paid ChatGTP to see if it can offer any help. Parts of it seem like things you may have tried out, but I'll put it here just incase any of it can be beneficial! Mr GPT: It sounds like you're dealing with a complex setup issue involving audio...

    Projector Screen INOP

    it looks like that would be the "control box" that does exactly what you suspected. I can't identify that exact one, however, if you take a look through the search results you may find a reasonable replacement. Since the socket tested good, one would thinking the control box just bit the dust...

    Anyone know speaker designer Patrick Hart's status?

    Nate, I took a look at the user database and searching his name got zero results. That doesn't mean he wasn't/isn't here somewhere, just that he didn't provide his full name when if he created an account. Perhaps someone will show up eventually who's got some better insight.

    Mark read box is covered by menu bar

    Thanks for the call out - per usual, we were trying to solve one problem created several others 🤦‍♂️ It should be corrected now. If you guys see any other overlay that's broken just shoot me a message and I'll check it out.

    PS5 4K through AVR

    There was a Reddit thread that made a few good points regarding this, I'll throw the relevant pieces in below and see if it helps: "First and foremost, make sure that your AVR supports HDMI 2.1 4k/HDR passthrough. Then, make sure you have all HDMI 2.1 cables all around (at least HDMI 2.0a, 2.1...

    The Official HTF Cat Thread

    I had no idea this existed until today, I'll be camped out here. For anyone who didn't see my first post(s) when I was hired; I travel full time - part of that being housesitting people's pets and the rest doing my own thing. My own thing is most definitely walking around and petting cats and...

    General Discussion Caleb D: The cord cutting dream is officially over

    That all seems, as has been said, pretty predictable, however I've found that outside of Netflix no ones really taken cracking down on sharing seriously and the key to making steaming viable it seems like is having a group that shares. The morality of that aside for anyone who is against those...

    Getting “server error” for some functions

    It will be back up shortly - but given the very recent history I wouldn't get your hopes up of enjoying it for too long. It's not a simple flip of a switch to get it back it involves having a server admin reset things. Due to extenuating circumstances they were not available this weekend at...

    Getting “server error” for some functions

    Yep. Our apologies, but this is going to be a thing on and off for the moment. Whenever the server is stressed, the search function (which requires a fair amount of server resources) will crash. It then has to be manually restarted by logging into the server directly and using the commands to...

    Getting “server error” for some functions

    We should not see those going forward for the time being. A third party company that we're working with crawls the entire website every quarter to update it's records and it appears that amount of traffic crashes the server - we've discussed it with them so that next quarter they will crawl more...

    Full screen covering ads?

    Can you guys let me know if the issue is resolved? I'm not seeing the ads anymore, and they should be fully disabled for the time being. Apparently it is a HTF specific issue, their other clients are having no issues with it working as designed. As with so many other quirks lately, it may be...
