    green streaks in RCA tv

    I had a vport RCA 32" TV, and it had the discolouration on it also..except it was more purple and you could really see it on a gray backround..I finally got a new TV after badgering RCA (and the only reason I did was because I am friends with the shop owner locally)..the second TV had the exact...

    Projector Wiring Help needed ASAP before Drywall

    I've heard of running the conduit and leaving fishing many fishing line "pulls"..that way you will always have an easy way of pulling your wires through the pvc pipe and for very low cost..

    Are Dells quiet enough for HTPC?

    I use my dell for htpc and it is quiet enough..it was much quieter when I first got it though..guess it needs a cleaning..either that or a better fan meant to be quiet.

    Best Recordable DVD Brand?

    imations were good for me also..philips were pretty good and very cheap..had a few bad disks, but like 1-2 per 50 spindle..got 200 benq's from futureshop and they are the best i've had so far..very nice disks, both cosmetically and performance wise..they are 8x and burn at 16x..loving it ;)

    Settings for 6.1 EX/ES

    I keep my receiver on "6.1 decoding" all the time..this is just a matrix rear centre (same as your ON setting)..basically the same concept as DD EX, because DD EX is just a matrix rear centre anyway..the receiver is just doing it rather than being told to do it from the source..sounds just fine..

    Theatertek & FFDSHOW problems

    sorry I can't be of more help Joan..what I can recommend though is trying out Andy's ffdshow..I use it and it's alot nicer than the version you are running..for some reason though microsoft's anti-spyware detects it as spyware in the registry key..just have to set it to ignore this entry if you...

    Theatertek & FFDSHOW problems

    Joan..go into the ffdshow configuration and check out the resize & aspect menu..now in the guides they tell you to check "keep original aspect ratio" but when I do this I get the problem you have..I have found I need to click "no aspect ratio correction" to get a proper picture..ight want to try...

    would a cheap receiver suit me better?

    look into the panasonic xr-50 digital receiver..I made the change and haven't looked back..granted it replaced a JVC receiver, but this thing is awesome and for the price it's definitly worth a look..

    Panny xr50 vs. Outlaw Audio 7100 pre/pro

    yeah i agree..the xr-50 powers my speakers far better than i would ever need..this little unit is a steal at it's price..

    Dolby Digital 5.1 output to 6.1 or 7.1 setup: What happens?

    i know on my panasonic rx50 i can set 6.1 decoding for 5.1 material, etc..and it does just about a good of a job as DD EX, but a true discrete 6.1 dts-es from a movie such as gladiator is a whole new world in that rear channel..good to have the option though, because nearly everything is 5.1 or...

    DTS-HD The Next Generation Surround Sound!!

    i'd kill just to have some DTS 96/24 material..pretty useless to have a receiver capable of it, but to not have any sources other than 1 or 2 music CD's that I dont enjoy..nice to hear the news on the new format though..

    Panasonic XR10 vs. XR25 v. XR50

    Panny xr-50

    for budget speakers look into quest at futureshop.ca ..my dad has some mains and they are quite nice for the price..the mains are 100, centre 100, and the 5" bookshelves are 50 ish..all these can be found on sale also..for the price I haven't seen anything beat them..

    using a graphic EQ with panny XR50?

    yeah I wish it has an EQ internally..would save me all this hassle..oh well..I do use my sound card's EQ on my HTPC for movies so I guess this is as good it gets..zoom player and WMP also have EQ's..this doesn't help with my satellite, CD and xbox input, but I am happy with the sound as is, so I...

    thanks for the explanation wayne.. feisal..the manual says the optical out for the XR50 is for recording DD, DTS, etc..on a recorder..what else you can do with it I have no clue..

    using a graphic EQ with panny XR50?

    thanks wayne..is there any digital EQ I can use with this receiver? or am I into the whole pre/pro deal with seperate amps..

    using a graphic EQ with panny XR50?

    readign through the manual it tells you to connect the graphic EQ to the tape inputs..now will this be a analogue connection that will result in noise from the A/D conversion? or how does this work??

    Any Problems w/Panasonic SA-XRx0 Receivers?

    problems? well so far i have a few small problems.. 1. Unable to assign specific speaker volumes for each device..ie. I like to raise my centre channel for DVD's, but keep it levewl with the rest of the speakers for TV viewing etc..can't do that, and I really miss that from my JVC receiver...

    Panny xr 50

    from what I read in the manual it is supposed to be a 5 channel stereo "so it is in stereo regardless of where people are facing" ..doesn't do anything of the sort on my receiver..kinda sucks really..

    Panny xr 50

    I love the receiver..only thing I don't liek is the loss of my 5 channel stereo..it has a party mode, but doesn't do 5 channel like I am used to..oh well the PL2 and dts neo more than makes up for it from my old receiver..I was also worried about the lack of power from reviews..this unitdoes not...

    Wow! I didn't expect this: I think I'm done w/ analog amps (receiver or separates)

    will do Danny..I am glad to see that they do get beter sounding..better is always good.. and Nick.. EDIT..sorry I don't know why i thought the XR25 has fewer inputs..looking at it now it has 4..weird..anyway..cool beans

    Wow! I didn't expect this: I think I'm done w/ analog amps (receiver or separates)

    awesome Nick..I would have checked out the XR25, but it did not have enough inputs for me..I maxed out the XR50 (4 inputs) , so that was a big issue for me..great price on it though..

    Wow! I didn't expect this: I think I'm done w/ analog amps (receiver or separates)

    got my xr50 tonight..have only had about an hour of testing on it so far, but so far all I can say is wow..what a difference from an analogue amp..hissing gone..clarity of this little guy is unreal..I don't find it bright whatsoever..I guess my speakers are a good match for it..played pearl...

    Wow! I didn't expect this: I think I'm done w/ analog amps (receiver or separates)

    wow..where is london drugs? we do not have one locally..also what is the difference in the XR25?? would be a good buy for sure if it compares to the XR50..
