Do you know what pins on the DIN7 were connected to what on the RCA plugs? -Scott

I just took a flyer and bought a Beogram 2404 turntable to play my old vinyl collection with and record to CD. I think there are some non-standard things that I need to know about cabling for the unit. I'll obviously need a phono preamp, but I've heard something about a 7 pin DIN connector...

Still have that turntable? -Scott (Winston-Salem, NC)

I'm putting together a HTPC that I also want to use as an MP3 server. I have a Pioneer 511 receiver (no phono input) with JBL speakers and sub (love the sound.) I'd like to encode all the vinyl records that my wife and I put carefully into storage to play back on the HTPC. I don't plan to use...

Max, you win! It was the white peaking. Turning it off (default was on full)enabled the contrast, brightness and color controls to get a reasonably good color image from VGA. White peaking is not a control I'm used to looking for, and it's use is counterintuitive. I let Dell's third level...

Haven't done much with the white peak. I'll try it and reducing cable length. Colors all appear dark and undersaturated. Thanks for the ideas. -Scott

We bought a Dell 3200MP DLP projector for our conference room and it is wonderful EXCEPT: the color is crappy when using VGA as a feed. Svideo looks fine, but the skin tones are dark and undersaturated when using the VGA (RGBHV) input. There are some general overall picture quality controls...

I had heard that due to impedance issues that the DB15 on the VGA card should be bypassed and coax cable for each signal run from the card directly to the projector. It sounded a bit extreme, but... -Scott

I'm hooking up an HTPC using a Radeon 7500 video card to an ECP 3500+. The VGA signal is RGBHV which is what the projector wants, but I've gotten rumblings that a simple breakout cable from VGA 15 pin to 5 BNC's is less than desirable. What's the best, inexpensive way to connect this...

Sure, how about 5 non-Pepsi armrests for $30 plus shipping (to where?). The non-Pepsi ones are probably used (at least the ones on the top of the box were used) but I'll find 5 clean ones. -Scott

I had it wrong. I'm coming out of the svideo DIN4 plug on the DVD player to a DIN4 svideo input on the AV receiver. Out of the receiver via DIN4 svideo to the Extron. The cord from the receiver has 2 BNC's on the other end and connects to the Y/C inputs on the Extron System 4 LD switcher...

Brief, clear, thanks. I guess that means that we can't use an AV receiver to switch the video sources since the receiver switches svideo sources. Not a dealbreaker. Right now I've got a cable that has a mini DIN 4 svideo plug on one end (connected to the output of the switcher on the AV...

Thanks for the info. I think I understand LFE now, we watched star wars epi. 1 last night and the pod races apparently used a lot of "non-audio" LFE for the pod engines as they go by. Very different from listening to it on your standard TV. Is an audio pressure meter and some kind of test...

I just got a new sub (JBL PB12) that I now need to integrate into the rest of the system which is JBL NSP1's driven by a Pioneer 511. I've got a few questions: 1. What is LFE and how is it used? 2. How do I set the crossover freq, sub level, etc. correctly? Is this just what sounds good or is...

I've got access to an Altec-Lansing Voice of the Theater that was made about 1975. It has a 15" woofer, N500 crossover and 8 section horn. don't know if it's and A7 or whatever, can't find the model number on it. Also don't know what the driver numbers are, will look for that this weekend. Is...

Poster boxes, exit signs, etc. are all 110vac and easily disconnected from the electrical supply with 3 wire nuts. Interior of box uses flexible conduit. 11 poster boxes left! (Wed, Jan8) -Scott

I don't know yet how the poster boxes are wired, it is concealed in the walls, but I assume the flourescent lights are 110v. -Scott

I may have a chance to buy chairs from a theater that closed recently in a nearby town. They're going to demo the theater to make way for a fast food place. I talked to the owner of the building and contents and have an appointment to go look at the chairs. He said that they are upholstered and...

Got one. Thanks for looking, though! -Scott I'm looking for an entry level receiver to go with a set of JBL-NSP1's that are on the way here. I need about 100 watts per channel and would like it to do Svideo switching as well. Looking at a KLH R5100 but have been hearing not-so-nice comments...

I'm looking to get a budget HT audio system. I think the speakers will be JBL NSP1's (used) and am looking for an amp to go with them, but the budget is very thin. I am looking at a KLH R5100 amp shown here: http://www.bestbuy.com/Detail.asp? m=1&cat=3&scat=4&e=11099059 specs below This is...
