I bought an off brand 32" made by soyo (computer parts company ?) for my bedroom. I believe it has very similar specs to your link, except DVI instead of HDMI. I am very pleased with the pic quality for a bedroom. Dont have HD on it, only SD sat and DVD. I got it at sams club (in Canada) for...

Please help, When i bring up the "processes tab" it shows explorer.exe at about 100. I have all windows xp updates, sp2. Scanned with Norton 2005, adaware and spybot. "Applications tab" doesn't show anything. Getting quite frustrated. Thanks, Tim

My screen has a significant flicker to it. I have tried all available refresh rates, made sure XP is up to date, installed latest vid card drivers, and nothing seems to help. Could there be interference issues with any equipment... my tower, wireless router, dsl modem and ext HD all sit on the...

My pride and joy is probably Ben Hur pan&scan...just kidding. Actually the pride of my collection is probably my limited edition tin of Hellraiser. To this date I have never seen another one. Tim

Don't worry, this is no big deal at all. I have split many 57 and 65" toshiba's while moving them. Never saw any adverse effects...knock on particle wood. Tim

I have a PS2 and an original nintendo hooked up to my computer. I have an ATI all-in-wonder 8500DV video card. the PS2 is hooked up via s-video and L&R audio. The nintendo is hooked up via coax to the tv tuner part. Hope this helps Tim

I actually install HT gear, and on occasion have to deliver TVs. It is my experience that you can tilt RPTVs, sometimes we actually have to turn them on their side to get them in. As long as you make slow (ie not jerky or jostling) movements, you will be OK. You'll more than likely want to...

Any Canadians out there know where I can get some inexpensive DVD media. I'm sick of paying ~$2/disc. I have an 8X burner, so faster media is good, but i will sacrifice speed for price. Looking for +/-R. Thanks, Tim

Not sure where to post this... Can anyone help me find or point me in the right direction where I can find some high quality pics of DD, DTS, and THX logos that I can use for my background wallpaper. I would prefer pics that look good at 1600x1200. Ive been looking but can only find very small...

I have an Integra DTR6.3 with Paradigm 11's, 5's, and cc-350. To be honest, I've never really understood what "bright" sounds like. I can tell you that my last receiver was a Yamaha (RXV2095), and the Integra blows it out of the water, IMHO. It seemed to bring my speakers to life, with a...

I have had an integra DTR6.3 receiver for about 8 months now, and I absolutely love it. I went from an older hi-end yamaha (RX-V2095) to integra, and I can't believe the difference in clarity and response. I hear subtle sounds during movies that I never heard before. Also, with music, the sound...

An IR repeater is exactly what you want in this case. It consists of 2 units, each about the size of a small computer speaker. One has a small antenna and a cord with an "eye" on the end. This unit will sit inside your cabinet, and the "eye" will be placed in front of, or close to the a/v...

You didn't say what receiver you are using, but make sure the inputs you hooked your vcr/tivo/etc to are looking for an analog signal, not digital. Just a thought Tim

This may seem incredibly basic, but... have you checked the left-right balance setting? Tim

Here's what I do... My analogue sources (sat, vcr, etc) are hooked up to my HT receiver (Integra 6.3) via a/v cables. then, I run a/v (rca ) cables to my AIW's a/v input, from the output of my integra (video 2 out, just like a vcr). Now open the TV tuner player, and select the composite (or...

The above poster is correct in saying that the 125 channels is for receiving cable or antenna programming, the all in wonder card has a tuner, so it acts like a tv in that respect. If you want to record from satellite, you simply plug your sat receiver into the AIW card using rca (audio &...

Look in the manual for something called "I/O Assigning"? You can assign the coax from the DTV input to the DVD, so you will plug the video into the DVD input, and the coax into the coax input on the DTV. when you select DVD on the receiver, all will work just fine.

Justin, I recently finished putting a system together, so I'll give you my 2 cents. P4 2.4G 512M pc 2700 DDR Ram...trust me, put in DDR, it is much faster than SD Ram, I noticed a huge difference. Of course you have to have a motherboard that will take DDR. ASUS motherboard with on...

Surely there must be some members with either an rx-v1 or an integra dtr-6.3 out there. If these cost the same what do you feel is the better value for a mainly HT application? I don't mean to be a pest, but I kinda have to act fast. Any opinions would be appreciated. Thanks, Tim

Please help me out. I have an opportunity to pick up a used RX-V1 for a fair deal. I was wondering if I could get some opinions on whether I sould pick this up, or go for something like an Integra 6.3 (since the V1 lacks DPLII and DTS discrete 6.1). I use my system approx 85/15 HT/music. Does...

Thanks for the input. Tim

Could someone please suggest any DVD changers with auto-scaling. I have a Panny 47" that locks into full. I currently am using a Tosh 3750, and I am pleased with the pic quality but want a changer so I can get rid of my older sony cd changer. I know my current player has manual zoom. Does an...

Hi Dave, Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm sure your DVD player is an older unit, the model number sounds familiar, I think that was my first player circa '97. As far as watching non-widescreen dvds, this unit is interlaced, so leave it in 16x9 mode and adjust aspect ratio with your TV. As...

Definately ask for the price you want (within reason). If they say no, try some place else. I have NEVER payed full price for any of my A/V gear, nor has anyone I have ever brought with me to purchace stuff. I think the smallest price reduction I got was 10% off. I typically get 15-20% off what...

Absolutely go for the 370 if you are considering monitors. I have a 370 matched with 11's and 5's. My dad bought a 170 to go with his 3's, against my warnings...he's kinda cheap, and wanted to save $ wherever he could. Needless to say, he had a 370 after about 2 months. Tim

Just to add my 2 cents... I happen to be an environmental health and safety professional. The range of human hearing is 20Hz to 20kHz. This is of course for someone with perfect hearing. Any "sound" below 20Hz is NOT audible to the human ear. Sound is basically pressure that our ears and brain...

I can't believe the rest of you fellow Canadains haven't seen the new Monitor v3's yet. Especially those of you in Toronto. I live in a relatively small "hick" town in southwestern ontario, and not only are the v3's available, I bought my brother a pair of 7 v3's almost a month ago.

I have a Lion's Gate copy of Hellraiser 3 that I picked up at a walmart about 2 yrs ago. I only watched the disc 1/2 way thru, looks like it was copied to DVD from a really bad VHS source (P&S, sound quality is horrible).

I (well actually my brother) paid $749CAD taxes included. I tend to get good deals at the local place cause I buy a lot of equipment and send a lot of people his way. As for the differences, I believe the speaker is a bit taller, but don't quote me, I'm not sure of the spec's on the v2. One...

FYI, the new monitors have been available for a while in Canada. I bought a pair of Monitor 7 v3 for my younger brother about a month ago. there was no price increase (for me) at that time, but I was told that they would be going up a fair bit.
