    Well, HD-DVD specs have offcially been approved. Link inside.

    http://www.dvdforum.org/26scmtg-resolution.htm Looks like they're on their way. Hopefully it launches as soon as possibly since that translates to cheaper prices sooner. This also makes me wonder about Sony and Mash. trying to get BluRay off and running. Anyways, just trying to pass the info...

    Is DVI the same as (S)VGA?

    Is it possible to use a converter? Do they make DVI-I to SVGA connectors? If not, I guess I'm SOL unless they make a good component switcher.

    Is DVI the same as (S)VGA?

    My TV has a compnent and (S)VGA inputs and I was wondering whether or not that is the same as DVI (actually it has two). Here's a pic: So does my TV have DVI (It's an RCA MM36110 if that helps)?

    Monster Squad DVD and more for trade

    In regards to monster squad, I believe it's the VHS version that some guy out on a DVD. It's NTSC and he cleaned it up a little with some hardware he has. I saw them on sale on Ebay. I could be wrong though (that's the only monster squad DVD I have come across). Don't know whether it's legit or...

    Torn between Onkyo and Pioneer...

    I have the 812k (picked it over a comparable Onkyo and Yamaha) and I really enjoy it. I don't know if it was the best decision but I got tired of reading review after review and asking question after question so I leaped and have been very satisfied.

    Car Subs For Home Audio?

    Sounds to me like you might be able to rig it up so that sound will come out of the woofer, but I can almost guarantee that it won't be separated into a purely bass signal. Also, it probably won't sound good since I'm assuming that you don't have a DC to AC converter and an amp powering your...

    Sub produces no sound from the LFE channel.

    I set the speakers to small. I set their crossover at 100 Hz, and the LFE attenuator settings are at 0 db. Still I get nothing in the reverse sweep test (The signal in the pan test works fine. I wonder if it is a disc problem? I can't figure out what's going on, but my bass sounds great for now...

    Sub produces no sound from the LFE channel.

    I'm not quite sure about what's going on, but I just got through watching LOTR:TT EE and my sub was thumping good. I might try fooing around with it again when I get home from school, but it seems like everything is going fine. If the bass seems awesome in movies (I haven't played any music...

    Sub produces no sound from the LFE channel.

    I got a new sub (Yamaha YST-SW315) and while calibrating it through AVIA it produces no sound when it gets to the LFE section. All other test sections produce bass throught the sub, but again, only the LFE test produces no sound. The sub has a radio shack 1-2 RCA Subwoofer cable with the...

    Can the Sub be placed under the TV?

    Ok thanks.

    Can the Sub be placed under the TV?

    I can't get a picture to work but I'll try if it is absolutely necessary. Anyways, here's my problem: Is it possible to put my sub (Yamaha YST-SW315) under my TV stand without sacrificing sound? It's a down firing sub and the stand is made with some sort of wood (not press board because it...

    green picture from DVD player.

    I looked behind my AV rack and noticed that the cable (6ft long) was hanging. This cable is heavy and it was putting a lot of weight stress on the connector to my reciever (it's almost too short as it suspendes like a bridge to my TV). As soon as I swiched a few things around and got the cable...

    Worth using AVIA to calibrate 2.1 (or possible)?

    Any special considerations to take into account or should I just follow AVIA's directions and skip all the speakers that I don't have?

    Worth using AVIA to calibrate 2.1 (or possible)?

    I'm getting my home theater off to a slow start but it's coming together. I have two Klipsch SB-1's that I am using for fronts now but I plan to make them surrounds later on this year when I finish my HT. As far as Subs go, I just got a Yamaha YST-SW315 and it should arrive at my house within...

    I'm going crazy trying to find a sub

    Thanks for the help guys. I just went to best buy and picked up one of these: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage....oryId=cat03045 for $200 (plus tax). I think that it sounded pretty good and I didn't spend more than I wanted ($100 instant rebate for those that are wondering). I should be...

    green picture from DVD player.

    I have a Sony NS725P DVD player and I have relly enjoyed it until recenetly. When watching a few movies recently (transformers, Van Wilder unrated, and LOR:TTEE I noticed that the picture changed into a shade of green (like I was wearing green tinted glasses and watching) for a little while and...

    I'm going crazy trying to find a sub

    I've been searching the forums, the internet, and local retailers trying to get some idea of what kind of sub to get. I've pretty much decided that I'm going to have to shop online since my budget isn't very high ($300 max shipped and I would like to go lower if possible). Every time I get...

    Sorry. One more thread about stereo setup. Big or Small?

    As I have stated in earlier threads, I just started my HT and I only have two speakers (Klipsch SB2) for now. When I set them up on my receiver, they should be set up as big, right? I don't have a subwoofer so I guess they will have to pull their weight with the bass. Also, one side (the right)...

    Is AVIA benficial for people with only two speakers?

    I recently started my HT and I only have a receiver (Pioneer VSX-D812K) and two speakers (Klipsch SB2). My wife, I mean Santa, bought me AVIA for christmas and other than using it to calibrate my HDTV, can I use it to calibrate a stereo setup? If so , what tests and/or procedures would I use...

    Finally started the HT. Now I'm not sure how to setup up my system.

    Thanks for the help guys. Also, what about avia? other than calibrating my tv, will it make any difference to calibrate speakers for stereo?

    Finally started the HT. Now I'm not sure how to setup up my system.

    Okay, I originally wanted to start out with a 5.1 system but I only had about $400 to spend on a reciever and speakers and it was much too little, so I decided to start with a decent 5.1 or 6.1 reciever and a pair of decent speakers. My friend who works at an electronics store got me a pair of...

    Are $100 DVD players with 3:2 pulldown worth my time?

    I have an CRT HDTV (RCA 36MM something) but I don't have a progressive scan DVD player. I was looking at some $100-ish ones at Best Buy today and I figure since I'll get around $150 in gift cards there this christmas and I watch a lot of DVDs, I will get one. I noticed that a few touted 3:2...

    How good are Fluance...

    ...AV HTB 5 speaker setups in comparison to say, the lowest end Klipsch or DefTech setups? I'm kinda short on money, and the fluance look good for the money, I'm just concerned that they will sound terrible. For anyone who has heard them, how do they compare?

    Is there any other place besides Ecost that sell items cheaply?

    Obviously there are, but I don't know of any. Can anyone tell me of some reliable site that sells HT equipment cheaply? I don't care if it is refurbished either. Thanks.

    What's the cheepest one could build a DIY sub?

    I can get a Klipsch RW8 for around $190 but I'm concerned about how powerful it is. Is it possible to build a better one for the money or should I just get the Klipsch (I'm kinda short on cash).

    brightness might be a good thing?

    Until I read the actual definition of brightness from the glossary, I had always thought it to be a bad thing. The definition says that it isn't always a good or bad thing. So what is it. To paraphrase, "....brightness refers to reproduced sound having a hard, crisp edge to it...All live sound...
