Excellent idea! I'm not looking to make money on this... I'd just like to avoid tossing them in the trash! Then again, I 'suppose' I could pull out my old Pioneer CLD-99 and see if I can find a way to plug an S-VHS cable into an HDMI connector (or... I could give away the CLD-99 with the LD's)...

I'm trying to dig thru lots of old gear and media in order to move it out as we need the space. One thing that I have been ignoring is a big rack of laserdiscs that I really need to get rid of. I haven't counted thru them but would guess there are between 350-500+ LD's that include everything...

Well, after reading the Anchor Bay FAQ you provided, that sure looks like the problem. However, I am pretty positive that I have used this configuration with my Blu-Ray player with no problem in the past (although I am only probably 99% sure as I have made a lot of changes in the past couple of...

The signal path is as follows... Sony BDP-S1 DVDO iScan HD Lexicon MC-1 Sharp XV-Z10000 Projector I am running component video from the Sony to the iScan, and DVI from the iScan to the projector. Audio via coax from the Sony to the Lexicon. For some reason, Blu-Ray discs may or may...

Arthur/Ted, Thx for both your comments. Very much appreciated. I struggle with choking down a Lexicon MC-12. I've been in the Lexicon line since my CP-1 (I think that was the model?), and hate to leave them. Just seems like too many $$$. After all, if I am going to spend the money, why not...

Haven't been here in awhile, but getting ready to refresh my electronics and looking for some advice. Current set-up includes a Lexicon MC-1, Aragon 8000 series amps, and ML speakers (Quests on the front mains and center). I have Quest Summit's, Stage, Script i, and a Descent i sub on order, and...

First, I think the Aragon amps are amazingly accurate. Second, does anyone know how to set the bias on them? Especially if the Klipsch buy out is having an impact on Aragon products, I need to know how to set the bias on them as I may be keeping them for years and years!

I have been a supporter of Aragon amplifiers for years. Currently, I am running an 8008ST, and 8008X3 in my home theater. The only issue I have ever had was that occassionally 'the bias' has to be adjusted to keep them from running too hot. In the past (before Klipsch), I would simply call...

No, I never thought of contacting DirecTV. Probably what I should have done, is just buy my new dish and HD receiver with their installation included. Then I would have to deal with this.....

Fred, I think I understand you and thanks for the suggestion. I didn't realize that was a viable option. The only issue is that then I have to pull RG6 across the attic to the outside wall, down to the ground block, and then back inside the house. I'd prefer to go strait down to the receivers...

My DirecTV dish is currently mounted on the side of my house and close to the service entrance. When I installed it, it was simple to run a ground wire down the side of the house to the house ground and be done with it. Unfortunately, my neighbor decided to plant a tree directly under the...

Thanks for the tips. Seems a shame to take less than $500 for it, but then again.........

BobK: I am in process of replacing my Pioneer Elite PRO-96 RPTV with a new FP. My Elite ran flawlessly for the 8 or 9 years that I've had it, and I hate to get rid of it. Kind of tough to tuck it unobtrusively into a corner though, so I guess I'll just have to settle for the few hundred bucks...

I looked around with a similar budget, and guess what I bought..... a Sharp 10K, and a 92" Stewart Luxus Deluxe Screenwall with the Firehawk (which came in just under $10K after getting the ceiling mount and paying the governor). What I failed to think about was how much money I would be putting...

I own an Elite PRO-96 (50") that I am going to move out and replace with a front projector. A couple of guys at work have expressed interest in it, but I have no idea what to ask for it. It is in mint condition, but it's also probably 8 or 9 years old. I'm not trying to make money off them, but...
