No sweat... save your money. I have a couple tools that can help you out. I'll pm you a link. You'll have to download a file and burn an image to cd... but after that.. its gravy.

Hi all... I have a philips 64" big screen that is approx 3 years old. Lately it has developed a strange green glow around the edges of the tv and on certain highlights. I cannot get the color right no matter what I do. If anyone has any suggestions as to how I can remedy this, Id love to...

I bought a WinFast TV2000 XP Expert on ebay for about $30 a while back. Its great for cable and I love the FM tuner. It will accept standard composite inputs and s-video. It came with a remote, an FM antena and tons of software... good software. I really like that it allows you to burn directly...

Hmm Thats wierd. Did you try adjusting your refresh rate? Surely somebody smarter than me can chime in and help out... :)

Dan.... I poked around a little on the subject and from what I can see is that DVI provides no substantial gains in performance over component unless your talking about long runs. Personally I dont see a need for the added expense and would stick with the component inputs. At the very least you...

My wife nearly fell out of her chair for laughing the first time she saw it.... Im glad to see that there are others out there with a sense of humor. It wasnt long ago another member got all huffy with me and said that it was offensive. Oh well....we cant all be interesting. HD can and is...

Have you thought about a passive radiator? Here is a link to one of adire's designs. http://www.adireaudio.com/Files/PR15...12ComboKit.pdf I put it through BassBox Pro and it looks good. Personally I like PR's better than ports. You get the same increase in db's over a sealed enclosure...

This is no $15K system, but it is in no way "dinky". It is actually a very nice sounding system. As a matter of fact it sounds quite a bit better many I have heard costing several times more.

Thanks Stephen, I appreciate the info. I'm sure I'll figure it out eventually.

Well... after laboring over this one for a while, practicality won out, and I decided to go with the HT-S770. After setting it up, and spending some time tweaking the settings I must say this little system is very impressive. I look forward to putting it through the paces, and see what its...

We'll just have to chalk this one up as a difference of opinion. As far as bad taste and public forums go, I believe it more of a faux pas to hijack someones post...which is exactly what you have done. Sorry Jamie.. Me and my sig appologize.

Hi all, I have a question. I just purchased an Onkyo HT-S770 and as those of you that are familiar with the system may know it comes with very tiny speaker wires. I looked purchasing some 16ga speaker wire but decided against it for several reasons. I have several 1000' rolls of 16ga power wire...
