    Speaker cable interference

    I was planning to run speaker cable under the floorboards, and to make it a little easier, I was going to use a cable tie to keep them together. Its the reason I asked. Would it be better to just leave them a little distance apart?

    Flat speakers

    Im looking for some flat speakers to place on my wall, for the rears of a 7.1 system. Basically, I want them as flat as possible, but able to produce reasonably good sound from a Denon 2803. Any recommendations would be most welcome. I cant actually mount it into the wall, so that options out.

    Speaker cable interference

    Is it ok to run speaker cable next to eachother? Will the wire pick up interference from other channels, or will it be fine?

    Speaker cable

    Another question, so I thought Id add it to this thread. Is it ok to run speaker wire next to eachother? Will the wire pick up interference from other channels, or will it be fine?

    Speaker cable

    Im redecorating soon, and wanted to put some speaker wire under the floorboards. Because of this, I wanted wire I wont have to upgrade in the future, but need it fairly cheap, as I need about 28 metres. I also live in the UK, so any US shop recommendations arent required. Currently, they will...

    Can you use a 7.1 receiver/processor for a 5.1 system?

    So, can you have a 7.1 reciever and use it as a 6.1 reciever? Would you do this by changing a setting on the reciever menu about the number of speakers connected?

    Progressive scan

    Right, I was considering a Toshiba 32ZP38 TV, and a Harman/Kardon DVD 30 player. Would this be ok for PAL progressive scan? Also any opinions on the products mentioned would be helpful.

    Progressive scan

    Yeah cheers, thats what I thought. Its a little more complicated for me though, because I live in the UK, so I need to find a player and TV which support PAL progressive scan. I think Ive got a few products in mind though.

    Progressive scan

    What exactly do you need to get progressive scan enabled? Do you need a DVD player and a TV which BOTH support progresive scan, or just one of the components that support it? I know you need to connect the DVD player using component cables, so if anyone can help me with this, Id be most grateful.

    US DVD player in the UK

    Yeah, I know about the region coding and I guessed about the stepdown converter because of the different power current. However, as far as Im aware, most UK TVs support NTSC now, as well as PAL, so that wouldnt really be an issue. After all, we do have multiregion DVD players which can play the...

    Toshiba ZD26 series

    Thanks for that. I wasnt aware it was NTSC pro scan only, so Ill revise my options. I had a look at the 32ZP38, and its probably a little more than I wanted to spend, but Ill certainly consider it.

    Toshiba ZD26 series

    Right, Id like a few opinions. Im looking for a CRT TV and have seen a few that catch my eye. The main ones I was looking at was the Toshiba 28ZD26 or the 32ZD26 as I havent decided on the size yet. Ill be mainly using it for films and gaming, with TV being watched on it. Im based in the UK, so...
