Thanks John. I called Parasound and they sent me a couple of cords for free. The amps do have the auto-sensing feature. My first attempt to get this working was not successful. One amp came on only when I turned the receiver off. I finally got tired and switched it back to manual. I will...

Thank you much for taking the time to explain all this to me. I think using the AC outlet to one amp and using the trigger cord to the other amp from the first amp will work perfectly.

Thanks. I am powered through a switched outlet rather than directly through the wall. I guess I wanted to be able to use my remote to turn on the receiver and have the amps triggered without having to get up and physically flip the switch. I now have to turn on both amps physically and turn...

Is a switched outlet powered by the 12v connection? I have power trips with a switch but they plug into the wall and the switch turns them off and on.

I have moved to a new location and I am setting up my new room. I have never used the trigger feature for my Parasound amps, and I would like to set this up now. I got my Onkyo 875 receiver working and I am using this as a preprocessor, but it has a 12v trigger for zone 2 only. I would like...

I've had similar experiences, Paul. Don't know which I prefer because they are so different. The sub definitely adds a visceral punch that I don't get with my headphones. My Senn 650s just don't come close to what I get and feel with my SVS PB13, even with the Bifrost and Lyr in the chain...

Thanks. I had hoped to make it to the GTG but could not this year. Next time indeed! hummerdude

So far the Yamaha is doing very well. I think the room correction works better than the Onkyo.

Unfortunately, the sounds continued with my Onkyo. I just replaced it with a new Yamaha RX-V525 Receiver. So far it seems to be doing a great job. hummerdude

Dennie, I must have had a similar thing happen to me. Illegal CB or other outside interference. Today, everything seems to be working fine. What a relief. hummerdude

Thanks. I'll give it a go tomorrow. Headphones may have been a bad idea. hummerdude

Yes, watching live TV. The sound was so loud that I am concerned that it may have blown a speaker or could blow a speaker. It was so loud we thought a tree may have fallen outside. Maybe I will try different sources with headphones.

Hey guys, I would appreciate suggestions on how to troubleshoot my system. Tonight I had loud "electrical" distortion from my system. We were watching TV at normal to low volume when loud thunderous, tree splitting sounds came from nowhere. I could continue to hear the television audio...

I'm getting a strange result when I set "down-mix" on my 980H to 7.1. My Oppo is connected to my Onkyo by HDMI on my 7.1 system. I can stream DSD to my Onkyo for decoding fine with down-mix set to either 5.1 or 7.1. The strange thing is that on stereo recordings, my Onkyo displays...

Thanks for sharing Pauly. It is obvious that you have been playing for a while. Excellent!
