Would this HT in a box work ok if we were to hook up an Apex AD-1500 DVD player to it? Is there any difference in sound quality using the cheap Apex DVD Player?

Glad you found the answer to your own question. I did in fact receive my additional 16 Onkyo points after the receiver shipped. I've got the receiver in my possession...now I'm just waiting on the speakers.

I finally got the points posted to my account for ordering the receiver. So, as u prolly already guessed, I placed an order for the speakers yesterday.
The only bad thing (if you can call it that), is that both items are still showing as "prepped for shipping". How long does it take for these items to actually get out the door?

I would also be most curios as to hear what recommendations someone has for stands.

I got the ones you need right here. THis is just about as cheap as you will find them too.
Stands $40
CC sells these stands for $100.

Just FYI,
I ordered both the receiver and speakers and received them last friday. I noticed one of my front speakers ( the right if you follow the color coding) didn't sound clear. I'd get a fuzz or static sound when it was driven sometimes. I swapped the left and right speakers and the fuzz followed the speaker so I called Onkyo service Monday and they shipped me out a new speaker Tuesday and told me to junk the problem speaker if I wanted or keep it for parts.
Pretty good customer service in my opinion although I suspect a lot of the speakers might have this problem if they shipped me one with no questions asked. You might want to check yours closely.

The remote that comes with the 600 is capeable of learning any other remote. It's an EXCELLENT remote and also includes programmable macros. Only thing is, I'm not sure how you can make the 600 remote learn your DVD player's remote, without the DVD player's remote?? Maybe you could just take your 600 remote into a store that carries your DVD player, and program the remote from there?
I currently have a Sony DVP S-560D DVD player. I've lost the remote to that player (replacement from Sony costs $40). Any chance that the remote that comes with the SR600 receiver can be programmed to control my currently remoteless Sony DVD player?

yup, my Onkyo receiver is going on 9 years. Movies sound great w/ surround. No problems whatsoever. But this damn thread is tempting me to upgrade. I have to keep telling myself I don't NEED it!Originally posted by: eyeguy
and the funny thing is a 4 year old reciever still sounds good, ....

This HT500 speaker package is made by Polk Audio for Onkyo. Very nice package and a STEAL of a price.
