Part 2 to my earlier reply. After seeing the reply to you from sundevil, I read the customer reviews on Amazon for a similar Heath Zenith chime extender. I suspect the technology is much the same. I do recall needing to fiddle around a bit with the transmitter (the part that is put into your existing door chime) before everything worked as it should. Just some trial-and-error in finding the exact location to put the part so that everything worked. However, I could understand how others might have a more challenging situation and frustrating experience. I may just have been lucky. Anyway, I thought I'd follow up with this so that I don't mislead you. Good luck!

I am sure it isn't the toilet - I have fixed those before and isolating the toilet supply line did not stop the running water sound. We isolated the hot water by closing a valve from the hot water heater to the rest of the house. "With the water on and the sound going" - the main isolation valve was open, but no faucets were on. The sound is the sound of running water that we are trying to find the source of.

Hi Zep, I went ahead and upgraded to mp10 for my system. It seems nice so I'll go with it thanks. Unfortunately I still can't get the songs onto my pos mp3 player, there must be something wrong with it is all I can figure. I am able to rip songs from my cd's fine but the whole transfering them thing just isn't working. I am going to try the mp3 player in another computer at work tomorrow and I'll go from there. Remember we've had this thing for a few years just sitting in a closet with how to speak german on it so its no big loss. I'll go get another simple yet fairly inexpensive model at w-mart to learn on. I'm not giving up on this because I'm tired of listening to the boring elevator music the local station plays here in the middle of nowhere. Thanks, Neal

I don't know what size of soundbar that is but it's likely got tiny speakers just like the TV. Polk is fairly respectable but it is what it is. You might consider larger speakers set to the left and right of the TV - in your case, wall mounted. Bookshelf speakers would work. Then you'd need an amp to power them, unless they are powered speakers. Surround systems have a center channel which is where most of the dialogue comes from. I don't think your problem is really the lack of multiple speakers, it's the quality of the ones you have. You could put speakers behind as you suggest, but feed them the L and R front signals instead of rear surround signal. Wireless is a good idea. I don't know what's on the market for that, I'm an old school audio dude. Have you checked the audio settings in the TV setup menu? Make sure you don't have artificial surround or anything weird turned on. That can create echoes in the sound and make it harder to hear. Also set your tone controls relatively flat. I run my TV sound into a vintage receiver and then to a pair of floorstanding Klipsch Kg 4.2's. We have no problem filling the cathedral ceiling room with very clear sound. But these are 40 lb speakers with 10" woofers. You may not be ready for that but it sure works.
