    Looking for In-Ceiling speaker info

    Howdy, Not really sure where to start looking online so hopefully someone here can give me some info to start with. We are looking into adding some speakers in the various breaks areas we have at work so we can pipe in some background music. Speakers don't have to be anything fancy as this is...

    sub-$100 DVD player

    I also might be in the market soon for a DVD Player. I have $75 in gift cards for BustBuy that I need to get rid of as well. My Sony DVP-S360 works fine but lately some home made DVDs it has problems with while my cheapie $40 player from Sears works just fine. I would need optical outputs to...

    RF Modulators

    Any brands and such you'd care to recommend? All the local stores only have the channel 3/4 type and nothing that you can program it to be a cable channel so I have no way of testing anything out with the ability to return it if it doesn't work. Thanks.

    Powered In Ceiling Speakers?

    We are actually looking at doing something as non-fancy as possible. We have no budget for this and it's not something that will get used much... Mainly just to play elevator music in a few different areas. But it sounds like Powered In-Ceiling speakers aren't very common so we'll probably go...

    RF Modulators

    Howdy, I'm looking for a modulator device that I can hoook my PVR computer and/or XBox up to that will let me pick a cable channel to broadcast on so I can watch them from any TV. I don't really care if I get a dual channel modulator or two single channel ones but cost is a major factor...

    Powered In Ceiling Speakers?

    Howdy, Our office is looking to put some speakers into the various break areas we have throughout our building. Since we don't want to run speaker wire all over the place (which is many hundred feet anyway) we are looking into sending the music over our network. This is not for high quality...

    Supplier of RCA Connectors to go on RG59/RG6 cable or F to RCA adaptors?

    Thanks Ted but those are jsut F connectors right? THen I'd need to get an adaptor to go from the F to RCA? I'd rather just slap an RCA connection right on the cable so I don't end up with a 2" long cable end with adaptors and such.

    Supplier of RCA Connectors to go on RG59/RG6 cable or F to RCA adaptors?

    Compress would be great. My brother works for Time Warner Cable and they use compression connectors for the Coax cables so getting use of a took is no problem. I thnk he said the cheapest connectors he could find where $1-$2 a piece but I'm not sure where he looked.

    Supplier of RCA Connectors to go on RG59/RG6 cable or F to RCA adaptors?

    Howdy, I was looking into using some RG6 or RG59 cable (since I can get lots for free) to run some audio cable. I'm having trouble finding places that sell either RCA connectors that can go on to the ends of the Coax cable, or the F to RCA adaptors to convert one to the other if that would be...

    Digital Coax cable comparison?

    I'm in need of a digital coax cable to connect my DVD player to my receiver. I stopped by the local radio shack and they have a 3' gold cable for $9 (item: 15-2401). http://www.radioshack.com/product.as...2401&hp=search And I went to the local Home Improvement store and they had a Philips 6'...

    Cable Comparison - Monster vs Belden vs Radio Shack

    I bought some M500v Mosnter Cable link to use as a test. I also bought the 12, 6, coupler setup from Radio Shack to also use as a test. Since the projector is so old, I guess we'll see what happens. Then if the Monster Cable really does show a noticable difference to me, I'll probably take both...

    Cable Comparison - Monster vs Belden vs Radio Shack

    The other possibility I've been told is to pick up some S-Video connectors at Home Depot or some place like that and use a Cat5 cable to make my own. How would a 20' Cat5 made S-Video cable compare to a 20' Belden or Monster cable? I'm assuming making my own would be really cheap since I can...

    Cable Comparison - Monster vs Belden vs Radio Shack

    Howdy, I'm looking for a 20' or so S-Video cable to connect my DVD player to an older Sharp projector. I've been referred to a few different places that all end up being about the same price so I'm looking for which would give me the best quality picture. The options I've found seem to be...

    S-Video Cables - 15' needed

    I called CC and they said the longest they had was 12' so I'd still end up needing 2 hooked together.

    S-Video Cables - 15' needed

    The DVD player is a DVP-S360 or something like that. It has Component, S-Video, and the standard yellow video out plug. THe projector has S-Video and the standard yellow plug. So S-Video is the best I can do. I was recommended to use Belden cables but I honestly don't know anything about...

    S-Video Cables - 15' needed

    I have a projector I'm "Testing and Storing" for work and want to hook it up in my system. To get the projector far enough away from the front of the room I'm going to need about 15' of S-Video cable. Not many places have cables that long but radio shack has a coupler to hook 2 together and I...

    Samsung DVD P241? Anyone have any information on this player?

    And at Sears you can get a 2 year replacement warranty for like $7 which insures that if it breaks, I get a new one. And if they don't make it any more, I get a better one. heh heh.

    Samsung DVD P241? Anyone have any information on this player?

    Well I got one today from Sears since the Koss one I had would't play my DVD-Rs. I tried one movie and it played it all the way through with no problems what so ever. Gets my seal of approval so far. Box doesn't list DVD+Rs as a compatible format but I always use -Rs so that's fine with me...

    Samsung DVD P241? Anyone have any information on this player?

    I found out today that I might be "upgraded" to this player because one of mine isn't working but they don't carry it any more. I can't find any informatino on it because I guess it's somewhat new. Does anyone have any experience with this specific player or Samsung players in general...

    Best Sub-$100 player you can get from Sears?

    I had some gift cards from CHristmas to Sears and needed a DVD player. It was going to be the "extra" player for the room without the high end eceiver and speakers and such. So, I picked up a KOSS KD365 player for about $50. I've had no problems with it watching store bought movies, but I made...

    Well I took it to Best Buy since it's still covered by warranty and they are sending it in to do whatever they do to it. Guess we'll see what happens. The guy who looked at it said it sounded like the laser was bad. Who knows...

    Sony DVP 360 with the 13:00 error? Now can't read any discs

    I remember reading about this a long time ago but since I hadn't had it I don't remember what it was. I was watching a DVD today and it skipped in one spot and then froze up like it was out of sync and the player was trying to find where it was supposed to be. It froze for about 30 seconds...

    Recommendations - Best Cheap Non-Progressive Scan DVD Player?

    I won't rule out a DVD players just because it has Progressive Scan. But if there's two that are the same except for that and the one without it is cheaper, then I'd take the cheaper one. If the PS doesn't seem to cause a price difference, then that's fine, just it isn't a requirement.
