Which generation of d-ila projectors are you willing to consider?

I know there's some Creek passive pre-amps with remote controls, and a Creeks with just one input and output, but I don't know if there's one unit with all of those. However, the defunct Chase Technology company used to make a remote-controlled passive volume control called the RLC-1. It might...

I paid $659 for a b-stock 806 from One Stop 4 years ago and have been very happy with it, through a wide variety of speakers and pre-amps. Although it may not have the best bass in the world we live in an age of powered subwoofers. Its great strength is that Home Theater magazine reached 590...

I noticed that you never see an AVR-305 for sale. Since I don't need 7 channels, I would like to know what those are going for used.

Ilyak: If you're just looking for the simplest product with good performance, I have a Fosgate Five processor sitting in the closet. It operates entirely from the remote control. I'd sell it for $30 plus shipping. You should let me know what features you're looking for, because this is very...

Jim - I have a SH-AC500D that has a hum that I can discern from where I sit (5-6 feet away). It also has a small dent in the top of the case. If you're putting it in a cabinet with a door or just far away, I can sell it for $50 plus shipping. Richard Slay [email protected]

Dear Shawn G: I have a big old Sansui S-X1130 stereo receiver that I was also using as two sub amps until I had a problem with one channel cutting out. It has an input that bypasses the volume and tone controls for this purpose. The specs: 130 WPC RMS into 8 ohms,

I will try to make it. I have some projector questions too.

Thanks, Cliff. I think that's a large part of the puzzle right there. R. Slay

Just had to add e-mail notification for myself.

I am interested in picking up a Yamaha MVS-1, a passive switcher and volume control made in the early '90s, which seems to be the only one with five channels. I would like to connect this to an inexpensive DVD-audio player. What do I need to know about impedances and sensitivity to make this...

I'm in the US, but I have an RGB-only monitor, so I noted with interest that some region-free DVD players sold from European internet sites had SCART RGB outputs. Can anyone in the world tell me whether there are adapters that can convert SCART to HD-15 or multiple RCA or BNC connectors for my...

I like this movie, but I can appreciate that it's very subjective. Thanks to Ronald Epstein for sitting through the vast supply of special features so we know what we're ordering. The movie came out here not long before Repo Man, and I will always remember local film critic Jeff Millar saying...

Dear NathanP: I want to make an offer of $15 on this. Please contact me with payment and shipping options. Also, what are you using for a power source? Is this a 12 volt unit? Richard Slay [email protected] 521 Allston St Houston, TX 77007

The broadcasters want COFDM for better mobile reception. What does mobile have to do with high definition video? There's not enough room on UHF for 1080i movies and wireless Internet. Let the wireless boys rot in bandwidth hell; none of them care about quality anyway, so compress away. If...

Just one caution. The link took me to a page for a 4x100 integrated. I assume when they told you it was 2x200, they meant it would be operating in some kind of bridged mode. The trick with bridging is that it automatically halves your impedance from the amp's point of view, which is bad. The...

Thank you for your advice but I have tried those things as well.

I have tried all of those things. Still no sign that the machine actually works. I can't believe the analog tuner in the DTC-100 is so much weaker than that in an ordinary VCR.

I just picked up a DTC-100 without a dish to see if it would work with my monitor. The menus look just fine, but I can't get the antenna input to work. This is the same antenna line that I normally use to watch TV, but on the DTC-100 it says the signal is weak. Has anyone dealt with this...

No, this was the only one. They didn't actually know what it was. Now that the merger's been announced, I would also like to ask people what they think will happen to demand for the 5000 modulator. Here's the possibilities I see: a. everyone gets scared because a new box replacement program...

To all members to whom it applies: I picked up a Dish 5000 HDTV modulator at Way Out Wednesday at SW Fwy and Beltway 8 with absolutely no idea whether it works or not. It has no ribbon cable or power supply. Could anyone out there with a 5000 help me out by plugging this unit in the back so...
