I agree with the mild soap. I recently had a rental disk with a large very greasy finger print that was causing the disk to skip and the following worked great. - rinse the disk well with warm water to remove any dust or grit (might scratch the disk when you wipe it) - used mild soap and my...
The thing that worries me is compatability between new technologies. - The fact that my HDTV could be rendered effectively obsolete in just a couple of years because of copy protection issues. - Some proposed standards for HD-DVD would not be compatable with existing DVD's meaning...
Rent the 2 disc set to tide us over, and see the extras. Then buy the 4 disc set when it is available. Both my wife and I can not wait, as we have stopped going to movies to save money for upgrades.:)

This site describes one method of DIY audio and video cables and certainly shows that it is possible to make some very nice cables

I have been thinking about doing something similar, and have been thinking about ways to solve the same problem. Ideas I have come up with so far include:
- a rack that can be slid in flush with the wall and pulled out to run wires. I have seen some nice commercial solutions that do this...
When I got my first VHS, I was able to record and to rent movies I wanted to see. I was and still am more interested in quantity (of available material) versus quality. Once DVD's became generally available I upgraded (which required a new amplifier and then a new TV, but thats an other...
Maybe you need to convince your wife to let you put an other chair on the other side :D . Seriously, I am not an expert and only solved my problem through trial and error. All I can suggest is find something soft that should absorb and diffuse the sound and then move it around to see if it...
I have a set up quite similar to yours, except no chair, and a large opening on the left side from just in front of the speakers to the middle of the chair. When adjusting the sound levels, I found that the right front speaker was louder than the left. To temporarily correct this, I placed a...
I am going to go out on a limb here, because I do not really know, but I was led to believe that the idea of connecting the shielding at one end only was related to minimizing ground loop effects in the shielding. Any comments?
As already mentions, definitely use quality materials and tools. I bought some cheap paint once, and I ended up using twice as much.
Also make sure the walls are properly prepared. Patch any holes, but make sure the patch is sanded completely flat. Once you put paint on it, small...
I am relatively new here, and just came across this post. I immediately went and checked my 65H80, and found it was manufactured November 2000. I was wondering if anyone knows the current status of this fix in Canada and how I would best go about having it implemented.
I would also like to...
