Hi - What brand of dvd-rw disks are people having the most luck with on this machine? I tried to format a Memorex 1X dvd-rw last night and it would not work...although I am not really sure why! Thanks!

Great site Alfer...thanks for the tip.

Hi - I would like to buy a dvd-recorder. I have most of my questions answered, courtesy of this fantastic forum. One thing that I am still unsure about is whether or not one can take a dvd recorded on a stand-alone recorder and offload the content onto a PC for more editing. Is this...

Hi - I just found out yesterday that the Denon 3803 has a switching feature that allows for the upconversion of composite and s-video signals to a component signal. This, of course, would be especially useful for a front projection system (which I have) because you only have to run one...

Brandon - Thanks for the excellent link. I may just try to tackle the repair again.

I have tried unsuccessfully to replace an RCA plug that I accidentally pulled off the end of my Canare component cable. I cannot bring the cable somewhere to be fixed because it is pretty much permanently installed. Are their any good Home Theater samaritans out there who live near Chapel...

Jack - I am sorry...I thought that the history of this unit was well documented. It just does not work. You press the power button, it turns on, and then it does not respond to the pushing of any of its on-board buttons or on its remote. I have a couple of Toshibas that I use on a...

I am one of the many people who bought this lemon. I've had it for a couple of years now and it pretty much has never worked...but I am having a hard time tossing it. Does anyone know of a viable repair for this unit? Is there something that I can do on my own? Thanks in advance!

Does anyone know if this amp would be a good replacement for the 250 watt amplifiers that tend to die in the infamous JBL PSW-D112?

Hi - My best friend depends on my input for all of his audio/video purchases. But he asked me about something of which I know little about...vcr's. He basically wanted to know about buying a new vcr. How can he be assured that it's tuner will allow for recording of all the channels he gets...

Jay - You are right...the balance knob gets tweaked about as often as I get kissed by Nicole Kidman. But, I do like all my parts to work. I'll give the contact spray a try. Thanks!

Steve - Thanks for your help. I'll stop by Radio Shack and look for the spray. Darren

Hi - I have a 15-year-old Luxman analog receiver that I want to use in my den. It operates and sounds great, except when I turn the balance knob. Turning it creates crackling from both speakers. Sometimes the speaker or speakers cut out completely. I have isolated the problem to turning...

Len - John Desmond is right about the long wavelengths for these low-end signals. In fact, if I sit at the opposite end of my basement, about 30 feet away from the subwoofer, the bass impact is even more pronounced! Unfortunately, it's hard to see my 36" screen television! As far as my JBL...

Len - Good question. I have no experience with bottom-firing subs, but I do have a front-firing JBL PSW-D112. It has a 12 inch woofer and a 250 watt amp. My home theater is in my basement, which is thick concrete all around. Obviously, I have the room fixed up with drywall and...

Hi - I want to buy a pair of bookshelf speakers that will actually reside on a bookshelf. I cannot bring the speakers out into the room, so I need suggestions for speakers that will sound great even when limited to such a confined environment. I would like to have a frequency response that...

Thanks again to all of you for your extremely helpful suggestions! I will use these resources to help me transfer twenty years of home videos to a digital format. This forum is a gem.

Thanks to Luciano, and to the other respondees. I am most interested in safe archiving my home videos. I will check the products you have listed, Luciano. Another question. How much hard drive space does it take to store, say, a minute of video from a vhs tape? I know quality and...

Hi - I apologize for posting this question in this part of the forum, but I did not get a response in the Home Theater PC area. I would like to know of the best place and/or website to gather information on equipment needed to transfer vhs home movies to one's hard drive. Thanks, Darren

Hi - I apologize if this is the wrong forum for this question. I need to know of the best place to gather information on equipment needed to transfer vhs home movies to one's hard drive. Thanks, Darren
