Just curious. My audio systems, the Denon 5.1 receiver in the living room, and the Sanyo branded soundbar in the bedroom (Funai), both occasionally have very loud pops in the audio, especially during inclimate weather, watching over the air (only TV I have besides the services on Roku). Any idea...

With the Frys Sunday promo code, you can get this for $499 through Tuesday while supplies last. And in my area at least, this includes sales tax. I picked one up today. Of course this model has been discontinued, but I'm not really sure what's changed in the new 3300 version. The specs look...

So last night I had a college party at my house and about 3 hours in the music completely stopped! Went over to my receiver (Sony STR-D865 I believe 200W) and it was about as hot as Kate Upton running a 5K in the Mojave. All it was showing was horizontal red lines on the display. We unplugged it...
