I have a couple 10-packs of those Optical Disks as well and have only had one mess up out of about 15 attempts. I've been using them on my PC burner though. Jeffrey is right though - ultra cheap!! I got 20 disk for something like $14 bucks after shipping!

I'm looking into getting a DVDR because my DVD player is acting up - time to upgrade!! My favorite word!! I'm looking at the Panny E80/E85, but have a few questions. First, and foremost, do I need a phone line to use these recorders? I see that the E80 has VCR+ features and the E85 now have...

I JUST got carpet installed in my basement that I started working on last December. Framing, by FAR, is the easiest part of the project. Everything after that gets progressively harder until you are ready to paint. That was such a releif! Definitely plan out your electrical. Also think of...

You can check Parts Express. I went with the Red and White ones and then forgot which was which (also had a monitor cable in the mix). Got kind of confusing to figure out, but I was able to get it. Others on here suggested using color tape which would be a simple fix.

I had the same thought as Chris on the way home last night. I plugged the monitor plug into a VCR and tried all four outputs until I found the one that worked. I knew the other three were the component cables, but still had to figure out which was which. Used a few of my brain cells I have left...

Thanks for all the help guys, I'll have to see if I can get my hands on an ohm meter (that is really a good idea!). Can you be a little more descriptive in your instructions? I am not inclined to this stuff. What do you mean by shorting one out. If I disconnect the cables from the DVD player, do...

Kevin, please shoot me an email. Interesting in the HU cards and maybe a receiver as well. [email protected] Thanks

I recently finished my basement and ran all my wires in the walls. My compotent cables were approximately two feet sort. Instead of buying $25 component cables for those last two feet, I just used RCA cables. I was told that it wouldn't make a difference. Does anyone know if this is true...

I just received my floorplans and I want to thank you!! They look GREAT!! Even got my foosball table on there!! I can't wait to see the elevation and wiring plans. Thanks for all the work!! You're too kind.

I don't know how good it is, but www.partsexpress.com has Ultimate Platinum DVD calibration on sale for $7.77. I just ordered one this week. Shipping is $8.00, so I recommend getting as much other stuff that you need along with it. I got tons of banana plugs with my order, and the shipping only...

Are subwoofer cables, and composite cables, the same thing? I know they would be used differently, but can they be used intermittently? Thanks

That is one heavy duty table saw! How did something like that set you back, if you don't mind me asking? I've got DIY fever right now!! I recently bought a house, and I'm finishing the basement now. I just can't seem to get enough tools!!! You could suggest that your GF's frind give you a...

Joan, I didn't get anything yet. Did you post that prior to emailing me?

Joan, I am currently knee deep in finishing my basement for a HT/Game room. I think I have thought of pretty much everything I need, as well as optimal placement of seating/HT/Bar/foosball/etc. But I am curious of your ideas. I'd be happy if I could send you my deminsions, and objects in the...
