Hi all, I am adding a rear surround to go 6.1 in the new basement. Problem is I have no idea what to use. I have Athena micros right now and need one to match (looks count according to my wife). Any ideas? thanks in advance

"Jesus is my airbag"...'nuff said!:D :D

John...thanks so much! Where would I get such an animal like a "butt splice connector?" At the local radioshack?

Hi all, just a quick (stupid?) question. When I purchased my house, the rec room was pre-wired for a small wall mountable speaker system. Initially, it worked well, but now, for various reasons, the wire is too short. Is there anyway to extend the wires without causing too much signal loss? The...

I just tried to output the video signal as such: cable hook up to box - rca video out to vcr - rca video out to tv...all I got was a blue screen! I give up (for now!)

*sigh* I don't get it. My cable box (actually motorola DCT 2500) has the optical out, but no option to switch to DD. Its all very frustrating. And silly me, the setup is as follows: cable into cable box, out into VCR and then into tv. No RCA cables, no digital sound.:frowning: Any suggestions at...

Nathan, I was just messing around with the various ways to do things (even though I probably shouldn't) and left them both in. I had planned on removing the RCA cables tonite, but did not even think about doing a config on the cable box. I'll try it after work! Thanks alot

Hello all, I just recently purchased a Sony DAV-FC7 HTib for the bedroom and it has an optical in. I want to hook up my digital cable box (motorola DCT2100 I believe)too the sony in order to take advantage of some of the 5.1 broadcasts. Can I completely eliminate the use of the rca cables and...

Thanks so much for all your answers. Sorry for the whiny post earlier, had a bad day!

hmmm..over 20 views and no replies. I guess there is such a thing as a dumb question after all...:frowning: :frowning:

I just recently purchased a sony 46 inch widescreen (K46R510 or something like that) and have it hooked to a Panasonic RP-56 using component ins. My question is, when I play a dvd, what wide mode do I use? The full screen mode seems best with minimal stretch (other options wide, wide zoom all...

I finally made the plunge and bought a HD ready tv (sony kp46wt510). My question is, I have a panny RP56 as my DVD source and I need component video cables. Any suggestions on decent ones? I am in the process of trying to upgrade my sound system as well so I am looking for a fairly good quality...

So then the surprisingly ugly yellow subtitles that I detest are probably from my machine (panny rp-51)?

Can someone tell me the difference b/w player generated and movie generated subtitles. Ive seen talk of it on the forum, but I am a little confused as to which is which! Thanks a bunch

Ahhh...its all so clear now. Thankyou very much:D

Please forgive my ignorance, but what is a pop up episode, and how does one access said episode?

duplicate post by whom? And thanks for the "informative" response.

Hi everyone, does anyone know if you can use a Tivo HDR112 in Canada. I know there is no subscription service, but can I use the record, pause, rewind, yada yada yada features? Thanks in advance.

Bob, I too am getting audio dropout with my sony "home theater in a box" and I believe its the receiver and not the discs (although some discs are scratched somewhat badly). I haven't really auditioned any new receivers yet (my wife wants to have a baby so I can't buy anything...darn biological...

I hope someone can clear this up for me. I do not understand the use of a phase control on a subwoofer. I did do a search in the sub/speaker forum but could not find a satisfactory answer. Is it essential? My little sub doesn't have one, but i the future I will upgrade. Also, can somebody give...

I don't thinks its fair to call some one an idiot or dumb for buying bose. The people who do buy are usually the uninformed. Ones who want surround just because. Sure, 5 minutes of research will show what crap the speakers are, but alot of people dont have the time or resources. Bose are crap...

I have a pretty basic set-up 5.1 DD/DTS system but plan to upgrade in the near future. My question is,I can get Ultimate DVD Platinum for about 25 bucks US. Is it worthwhile (for that price) to buy? Even my upgraded system wont be "hi-end"...it will be more mid range (alas my middle class...

Would any of these products work for audio dropout on dvd if its due to a minor flaw? :emoji_thumbsup:

Thanks so much for the reply. I figured you cannot wear out the dvd b/c nothing actually touches it (other than red light). Has anyone else experienced this? It happened at the same spot on Undercover Brother (funny movie by the way) when I re-played it. Is that just a coding error?? Its...

I have a question. When I watch various dvd's it seems that the sound fades sometimes (like the volume decreases significantly or the dolby dig cuts out). Has anyone experienced this? Is it possible to "wear out" the sound on a DVD? It seems to happen more on rentals/previously viewed dvd's...
