wow, thanks for the help, you saved me from a potentially costly mistake

well I asume what you want is to know if there is a difference between crimping a male, or a female (the wall outlet) diy cat cable? I have no personal experience but i found a few pics, it looks simple enough, the female adapters are laid out in a simple and very seperated format, I would...

they arent huge differences, they all create 5.1 from a stereo signal what i discovered, is that the prologic music has more treble in it and comes primarily from the front speakers movies has a deeper bass than music but less highs, the sound more often flows to the back speakers (probably a...

Hello, I have a very basic question, I was looking for a DVR player and came across the tivo dvrs, they are quite cheap(off ebay) compared to standalone dvr, so my real question is, can I use the dvr feature of the tivo, without getting a subscription?? I understand I won't get the tivo...

mm thanks for all the help guys:emoji_thumbsup:

ell see my main problem is there is no way of putting in a decimal on my tv as far as i know, so i cant get the 2.1 my on screen says video: (which is basically the input) audio: (the sound mode) ch no: ch name: its a smaller tv just a bedroom one(im still just a student) and only a...

no you shouldn't have to cut. you an get something like this Buy the OmniMount Mini Cable Cover System and other Video cables & connectors at circuitcity.com to conceal the speaker wire and then you can just wind up and tie the excess wire neatly and place it behind the receiver, well if you...

I am lost on how to make the surround sound work!! Since you just can't run speaker cable down along the outside of the fireplace to the floor baseboards. why not? just curious but maybe you can do what he said^^ and just a thought, if youarent planning on ever using the fire place, you...

well this is how I see it, somewhat simple. basically you go out and get a regular wall mount, maybe telescoping might help( but likely not) in any event go get some more wood and make supports to screw the wall mount into, then you can use the telescoping part, to adjust the tv so its flush...

2 KCBS NCIS Repeat (CC) 2.1 KCBSHD 5 KTLA Tournament of Roses Parade (CC) 5.1 KTLAHD 7 KABC Wheel of Fortune (CC) 7.1 KABCHD thats what my local tv guide looks like and they have the same shows listed at the same time for both, just so you can see, so i just wondered how i can...

mmmmmm thanks, i just thought since it was next to the "class 2" sub speaker output, they might be the same thing, just different connections so its compatible with more subs

from what i read it sounds like you left out the vcr most dvd players do have inputs on them, so if you want you can plug the vcr into the dvd player and then take that from the tv but it sounds like your good now

I don't mean to start trouble, but on my tv the outputs will take out sound from any inputs on the tv or the tv tuner. Perhaps it varies from model to model, try yours if you can, but if this is the case i say do the switching on the tv, that way whatever source you are watching will...

true, i do agree with justincleveland ^^ up there but some people dont need the amazing sound. I mean believe me i know all kinds of people with hd sets and blue ray surround or whatver, but they have no idea what it means, they say things, like well the picture looks amazing, it sounds good...

well see, where i live, all the vhf are offered in sd and hd (and those are my main goals), but the difference is like channel 7 sd and 7.1 hd(thats what i meant by the show the same thing at the same time, even according to the tv guide). so technically they are on different channels so to...
