    Found this funny

    HD PQ OK to me I have been watching D on my Mits WD62725 via component and HDMI for a couple of years with OTA for the locals. I thought I saw a difference between the MPEG 2 HD and OTA. I had the HR 20 installed this past weekend and did an A/B comparison with MPEG 4 locals and OTA and saw no...

    I have the Denon AVR 4306 (130 wpc) and Klipsch Chorus II/Academy/RS-7/Quartet/Academy 7.1 setup using the RS-7s and Quartet as A/B side and rear surrounds.

    AT-9 Mounting Plate Size?

    Thanks for the info. That bolt pattern will not fit the existing 4x4 so I think I'll mount a steel plate there with some countersunk screws and then drill and thread the bolt pattern you supplied for the bottom ( I assume that the main plate has slotted holes, are they all slotted horizontally...

    D* Customer Retention phone number?

    I have found that the sure way to go is to call sales and then ask to be transferred to retention rep. I get the "I can do everything they can do" and then I'm transferred to get a deal that has, thusfar, been better.
