Remote perfect.. all accesories in box.
I bought a fiber optic cable to use the DTS.. apparently COXIAL cable
won't suffice for the DTS signal, at least according to the manual.
My sound card has coax and fiber optic out, not sure if I want to hook
it up to my stereo (20ft away) and besides I think that ONLY if i send a
5.1 signal out my sound card (movie,etc) will i hear anything thru that port
on the sound card.. stereo or not.

I can't wait for mine to come in.The fluance speakers sound great as well
Looks like there's no point fleaBaying it, unless you get really lucky. Why didn't you just get the broke one fixed by Kenwood? Couldn't wait?Originally posted by: acebathound
Just thought I'd give you guys an update (I had bought one of these and it had a cracke in the front right speaker channel). I contacted their support and about 4 days later got a response saying they do not handle returns and that I'd have to contact Kenwood and they apologized. Not exactly what I wanted to hear, but it was worth a try. I did something most of you probably wouldn't have even considered.. I ordered another one, because either way I looked at it, it just seemed like the best thing to do considering the low cost (and free shipping). I'm happy to say that I received the 2nd unit yesterday, hooked it up, and everything seems to be working great with it =) I'm not sure what I'm going to do with the defective unit, but I'm just thankful I have a working one.. even at $200 it has still saved me money (not to mention research time looking for a deal). My subwoofer is coming shortly, and I have to run out and get a fiber optic cable and subwoofer cable, but hopefully that won't set me back too much further =P

I can't wait to get the subwoofer and see how it all sounds together

sorry about your cracking sound on the speaker input. I was going to suggest that you just use your 1st kenwood as a secodnary stereo amp (bedroom maybe? *shrug*), but then I read that it was cracking on both channels (A and B).
Say, to which subwoofer are you referring? I did a quick scan and only saw people reference the Fluance speakers (which do look darn good for the price)...

Well I think I'll contact Kenwood and see if it's possible to have them pay for the repair.. but I had contacted a local electronic shop and their minimum cost on the repair was going to be $30 (you pay that upfront).. if I ship it anywhere it's $30... either way I'm without a unit for at least 2 weeks, if not more. I figured why put more money into it if I could just get another and either sell it as broken or try to fix it myself =)
