    Cleaning DVD's

    I've been using my Disk Doctor with distilled water. Seems to work fine on most. It's funny NetFlix mentions cleaning DVD's. Every disk I've rented from them has been filthy and scratched...some to the point where they won't even play.

    Vince, Why don't you scetch what you are thinking of and send me a fax. I think I should be able to help you out. Sounds like 1/4" plywood should do the trick unless you wanted something a little nicer. Let me know Dave

    where to put the sub

    Although subs are omni-directional it does matter where you place them to get seamless integration. One proven method is to place the sub where you normally sit and then play a bass heavy cd or dvd and move around the room. As you are moving around the room you will find one spot where the bass...

    Here's a peek at mine....

    The sweet spot is 11 feet from the screen and sounds awesome, the overall room size is 13 X 20.

I like the built in as well....only draw back is I'm...

    I've lost my Hi-Def OTA Picture...

    Well, time to get the ladder out and start checking connections. I re-booted the receiver with no luck so I am assuming that the fault lies in the outdoor connection at some point. I'll let you know how it turns out. Dave
