Hi all, I am adding a rear surround to go 6.1 in the new basement. Problem is I have no idea what to use. I have Athena micros right now and need one to match (looks count according to my wife). Any ideas? thanks in advance

"Jesus is my airbag"...'nuff said!:D :D

John...thanks so much! Where would I get such an animal like a "butt splice connector?" At the local radioshack?

Hi all, just a quick (stupid?) question. When I purchased my house, the rec room was pre-wired for a small wall mountable speaker system. Initially, it worked well, but now, for various reasons, the wire is too short. Is there anyway to extend the wires without causing too much signal loss? The...

I just tried to output the video signal as such: cable hook up to box - rca video out to vcr - rca video out to tv...all I got was a blue screen! I give up (for now!)

*sigh* I don't get it. My cable box (actually motorola DCT 2500) has the optical out, but no option to switch to DD. Its all very frustrating. And silly me, the setup is as follows: cable into cable box, out into VCR and then into tv. No RCA cables, no digital sound.:frowning: Any suggestions at...

Nathan, I was just messing around with the various ways to do things (even though I probably shouldn't) and left them both in. I had planned on removing the RCA cables tonite, but did not even think about doing a config on the cable box. I'll try it after work! Thanks alot

Hello all, I just recently purchased a Sony DAV-FC7 HTib for the bedroom and it has an optical in. I want to hook up my digital cable box (motorola DCT2100 I believe)too the sony in order to take advantage of some of the 5.1 broadcasts. Can I completely eliminate the use of the rca cables and...

Thanks so much for all your answers. Sorry for the whiny post earlier, had a bad day!

hmmm..over 20 views and no replies. I guess there is such a thing as a dumb question after all...:frowning: :frowning:

I just recently purchased a sony 46 inch widescreen (K46R510 or something like that) and have it hooked to a Panasonic RP-56 using component ins. My question is, when I play a dvd, what wide mode do I use? The full screen mode seems best with minimal stretch (other options wide, wide zoom all...

I finally made the plunge and bought a HD ready tv (sony kp46wt510). My question is, I have a panny RP56 as my DVD source and I need component video cables. Any suggestions on decent ones? I am in the process of trying to upgrade my sound system as well so I am looking for a fairly good quality...

So then the surprisingly ugly yellow subtitles that I detest are probably from my machine (panny rp-51)?

Can someone tell me the difference b/w player generated and movie generated subtitles. Ive seen talk of it on the forum, but I am a little confused as to which is which! Thanks a bunch

Ahhh...its all so clear now. Thankyou very much:D
