    Large CRT HDTV misaligned corner! HELP!

    Haha. I'm retarded. After fretting for an hour I tried the old "Turn Off, Turn On" trick and it went away. D'oh!

    Large CRT HDTV misaligned corner! HELP!

    I have a direct-view RCA f38310. I had to adjust some stuff on back of the set, and pivoted the TV carefully on the stand. Approx 1/6th of the TV (the right front corner) was off the stand, and after I slid the set back, I noticed there was a darkened corner with a slight green hue in that...

    New Cabinet Construction - Opinions Requested

    I wanted to note, I had a large cabinet built that held my TV in between 2 prefabbed cabinets. I needed my sub to sit under the TV and in a large cavity with 2 large hollow areas on either side. The result was as I expected....unuseable, ultra-boomy bass response. My solution...I filled the...

    Remotes for Subwoofers?

    Thanks Wayne! That looks like the ticket! I found a remote line level box from audioplex for $250! and it doesn't even include the remote, they just stole codes from Proscan amps....and you need to wire the remote device to the volume box....what a pain! I'm bidding on that RCL-1 you...

    Remotes for Subwoofers?

    Hi, My question; is there a 3rd party Subwoofer Remote Volume control available that has an IR controler? I have an MK MX350 subwoofer and a Outlaw ICBM. I use the ICBM to manage the base for my SACD player, but I dont have a way to quickly adjust the subwoofer level when I'm watching...

    Magnetic Shielding

    If you have the space and really like B&W you could go with center channel speakers all across the front, they are shielded. I use LCR 600s and they sound lovely.

    Magnetic shielding suggestions?

    Hey Graham, I'm no expert, but I've been through the ringer trying to shield my TV from my subwoofer magnet. I've never heard of a receiver causing magnetic interference, but I suppose they generate magnetic fields via the power supply or amplification tidbits. A receiver probably generates...

    how to create flickering starlight effect?

    There are also starfield panels and infinite depth starfield panels available. I researched them quite a while ago, but the price was steep so I abandoned the quest, but I imagine they save a lot of time and offer a lot more stars than one would want to create themselves.

    Baffling or dampening a cabinet.

    I have a carpenter building an addition to my entertainment center that will have hollow cabinets (not openable) on either side of my MK 350 subwoofer. They will be about 2 feet high, 2 feet deep and 1.25 feet wide. This is the only placement for my sub that wont take up walking space, so I'm...

    Shielded subs besides M&K?

    I dont have too much choice about sub placement right now, the room is fairly small and open on one side. I've got a 12" B&W sub that was in my B&W package just sitting in the main walking path. I have moved the sub around the room to test it out (giving a large buffer between it and my TV)...

    Shielded subs besides M&K?

    Wow, I was kinda happy in a way when I thought there weren't that many choices! Now that it's been established that there are quite a few, anyone have any opinions on the ones discussed? I live in the middle of nowhere, so auditioning, or even listening to any of the ones mentioned is almost...

    Star Wars Galaxies, Worth it?

    Gamespy did a 3 month re-review and it sounds like the meat of the game is still missing. Hopefully like Anarchy Online, they will greatly improve the game over the first year. Three months isnt a huge length of time, but if the game really comes together, you'll hear about it all over the...

    Shielded subs besides M&K?

    After spending the last year planning on finalizing (like you can ever finalize) my home theater setup, I've finally realized that buying a shielded subwoofer is going to be cheaper than attempting to shield my current one from my RCA F38310 TV. I need to place the sub within 2 feet of the CRT...

    A warning about Xbox's Enter the Matrix 1080i HDTV support...

    Yeah, HDTV is a nasty hybrid of digital and analog technology...the vertical lines are discreet digital lines, but the info for the horizontal lines isn't, its like standard analog TV, its maleable and not fixed to a pixel per pixel digital portrayal. It seems a nasty idea compared to fully...

    DIREC TV HD Package Available Now.

    Hey, maybe I'm just having a Monday (On Tuesday) but I cant find the channel numbers for the new channels anywhere on Directv's site or any of the HD channel's sites. I ordered the package from work, and am only going to have a short time at lunch to check it out...can someone tell me the...

    HDTV not working w/ ATi AIW

    My experience with the ATI AIW 9700 pro as a PC to HDTV link was pretty miserable, and I've returned it for a more reasonably priced ATI Radeon 9700 (and staying with my monitor). I could get 1080i working via component output on my set (ugly), but the games switched to their own modes, and...

    Home Theater Plugged To Computer

    The Nforce2 motherboard from Nvidia actually outputs real-time encoded Dolby Digital via Toslink (same thing the Xbox has), other than that, you need to output discrete analog channels. Another concern is video output from the PC to your TV. I purchased the ATI All-In-Wonder 9700 Pro and...

    Bananas, spades, pins, or bare wire?

    If you decide to go with banana plugs I would recommend the rolled metal variety. They are formed by rolling a small sheet of metal to form the cylinder of the banana plug and offer a large amount of contact area. I had my Audioquest cables terminated with them by the shop, but you can purchase...

    Will a KDS monitor with component video input play progressive scan input on screen?

    Ah, Thanks for the info, I am pretty sure its a 19" CRT, so thats probably why I couldnt find anything relating to component video info on it, he must be mistaken about the connection. Thanks again :)

    The Ultimate Nerd Monitor

    I'd imagine the display would be used in government labs that are required to spend ungodly amounts of cash to view simplistic models of molecules rotating around so they can look like they are doing something important. Attach a virtual reality glove and a supercomputer and welcome to grade A...

    More details on Playstation3?

    I was at the E3 for Sony's "unveiling" of the PS2 I think it was 1997 or 1998. The machine didnt really exist at the time, but they were running a "similar" bunch of hardware and showing demos that showcased what we could expect from the final product. I think it was several beefy networked...

    Any Xbox Modders out there? Questions...

    I'm not interested in pirating Xbox games, there are only a few that fit my requirments of high-def, 16x9, rich dolby digital AND good game play, but I find the idea of keeping the games I do have on the HD intriguing...but only if they load a lot faster and eliminate disc swapping. I was sent...
