We have as of this week the Sanyo PLV-Z2 and the Onkyo LSV500C 5-Disc DVD Home Theater System (the latter a $169 refurb). The system is now set up (in a 17' x 11' ft room with 11 ft ceilings -- old house) and we watched "Patton" as our first sample movie. Very impressive - and I was glad to find that the Z2 is dead simple to use. The Onkyo is a bit more complex but not impossible to figure out, with the manual in hand.
Little tweaking seems necessary but it's hard to resist thinking about it. ;-)
The Onkyo came with only 22 gauge wire. I read the AVS cable FAQ and it recommends 10 gauge. But we all think what we have now sounds great. Some of the wires travel as much as 21 feet. Will we really benefit from heavier speaker wire?
Another newbie question I have is what's the best cable to use for linking the Z2 to the Onkyo box? DVD movies are our sole purpose. The distance is a few feet. Right now I am using the supplied cable with the three red, green and blue connectors (component, right?) and that seems fine. Is there a better choice?
Many thanks for any suggestions.
