    Need help with wiring question.

    If my receiver only has an rca subwoofer output, is there any way I can use a subwoofer (non-powered) which only has the 2 spring clips for the speaker wires? If so, how, and will I lose ANY performance?

    Very stupid question about receiver settings...

    Well, when I put the receiver in pro-logic mode it'll automatically switch to DD when it receives a DD signal, but when I change back to a non-DD channel, it reverts back to stereo mode. So, it seems that I'll have to manually select pro-logic every time. I don't know why it can't just save my...

    I've got a Dish Network receiver hooked up to a DD/DTS receiver via digital optical.

    Toshiba 57H81 coming today. Need help!!

    The HX series of TV's require a contrast setting of around 50 (instead of the usual 30 or 35), so if you find that your picture is a little too dark, you may try raising the contast a bit.

    Spider-Man (2002)

    I was looking at Wal-Mart's New Release schedule (internal document), and they have release dates for the whole year. I assume it's the studio's target release date. Even MIB II was on there (Dec. 3rd).

    Quick question that's been asked a million times...

    Question about black bars...

    Okay, I just popped in Cast Away and Men in Black and I DO NOT have any black bars on either one. I've got the Toshiba 57HX81 and have completed geometry and alignment using a template. What is the problem?

    Question about black bars...

    Well, I'm sure my Toshiba was in Full mode when I noticed this, but can someone give me the name of a 1.85:1 disc or 2 that IS formatted correctly at 1.85:1, thus giving me tiny black bars on top and bottom?

    Question about black bars...

    Am I only supposed to be getting black bars on the top and bottom when I watch a 2.35:1 anamorphic disc on my widescreen tv? Because I don't get them with 1.85:1 material.
