Well, assuming you are comfortable with messing with electrical stuff, it is relatively straight forward. Even though from a circuit stand point it is really simple there are a few different ways to run the wires for this so you may have to do a little testing to find out where the main power...

For you BDP-350 owners, EngadgetHD is reporting that Sony has released the promised Profile 2.0 - BD Live firmware update for the BDP-350. Check it out: Sony gifts BDP-S350 with BD-Live via firmware update - Engadget HD

I have the Onkyo 805 and love it. My buddy is a Pioneer Elite dealer though and swears by the Pioneers. I don't know if it matters to you but the Onkyo 805 is THX Ultra2 certified and the Pioneer VSX92TXH is only THX select2. When I bought my Onkyo I had the choice of getting it or the VSX91TXH...

HDMI is a digital interface. It can pass multi-channel digital audio that has been decoded in the player (or pass the raw bitstream). The analog conversion happens in the receiver.

As with all consumer electronics you are probably wasting your money (since there will always be something better just on the horizon). It is a very subjective question. Sad as it makes me, HD-DVD is dead. I'm sure that they will eventually release all of the films on Blu-Ray that were...

Am I missing something here? I thought this player wasn't coming out until June.

Ric, For some reason BD profile 1.1 is called Final Standard profile, even though there is another profile (2.0) after it. Profile 2.0 adds internet connectivity. If your player has Ethernet then it will probably be upgradeable (I don't think it does though).

I bought a $98 A2 back in November and submitted my form the next day. I guess it has been about 9-10 weeks now. Still waiting ... I hope that they still come given the current state of affairs. I am firmly planted in the red camp, at least until I can get a profile 2.0 BD player for $98.

I bought my current house four years ago. It was built new in 1968 with two condutor wire and outlets through out the whole house. The house next to mine is the same way. I don't think there was a federal mandate or anything that said all houses must be grounded. I think the electrical codes are...

The ball joints are an important part of the steering system. If they get bad enough then you start to loose the ability to steer well. This could mean big problems. $500 seems high to me but I never worked on your particular vehicle. I worked doing general maintance for a construction company 5...

David, you are grossly over simplifying a very complex process. The example which you are referring to is a special case. To truly appreciate how complex it is you must have a good background in calculus, trigonometry and physics. I think a lot of the misunderstanding here arises from poor use...

I built this budget subwoofer for a guy. front view back view It was a box I built for a guy on a budget. It has two of the dayton 8" papaer cone woofers (PE# 295-310) and the 120w plate amp (PE# 300-792) back when it was on sale for $79. It as been a while since I built it so I don't...

Just when I think I won't need to build another sub box they start coming out with bigger and better subs. darn! :D I built a box for a titanic 1200 for my dad (3 ft^3 sealed). It sounded really good. Now I want to hear what this one will do. I'm curious about the peerless stuff as well...

Mark, I agree. I don't want or need all of those other features. But, sadly, their aren't more monitors for the same reason there are so many recievers and not so many pre/pro's, not enough demand. I would love to see many more monitors. I hate that the big screens have those speakers in...
