Thanks for the advice. I will be doing things in quick order (within the same month) so I will probably go ahead and upgrade my directTV service in advance. I like the idea of being able to plug the new HDTV right into HD service right away.
I am currently in the process of upgrading our home theater to a HD setup. I currently have a 7 year old Sony WEGA and Direct TV service. Would you recommend that I upgrade my DirectTV service to HD service first and then install the HD TV? Also, would the DTV HD channels look better than my...
Is it me or are other folks having problems with the DVD ROM features, specifically accessing the website. I can't figure out how the InterActive thing works. Any help would be appreciated.
I believe you need to go into the PS2 setup menu and make sure you select DD output. Try turning unit on without a disc and then the screen with browser or setup choice comes up. Go into setup and scroll through selections.
I think this is the problem.
Ignore my above post.
I have put my PS2 memory card in slot 2 and I have my controller in controller slot 1 of the PS2 and it still won't recognize it.
Do you think I have to have a PS1 memory card for it to work?
My son is playing the Digimon World game for Playstation on his Playstation 2 and the game will not recognize the memory card in the PS2. The screen that comes up at the start shows Memory slot 1, Memory slot 2, and no memory but the Mem slot1 & 2 are greyed out and cannot be selected.
Is this...
I use rubber door wedges. The other day I had noticed that dialog was muddy. I checked my settings and found nothing had changed. Then I looked at the center speaker and noticed it had come off the wedges. Putting it back on the wedges cleared up the muddiness. Instead of firing above the...
With the Dish 501 connected with optical cable to your HT setup do you also have to run RCAs to get sound from local OTA stations to your HT receiver or does the 501 unit pass the sound through the optical cable?
Does the PVR 501 have the local channel integration like the Dish 5000 unit? I have read on DBSforum a lot of bugs in the 501. Do you all think the bugs have been cleared up with the new software update?
Thanks, that is a great idea to pinpoint the problem.
I did shut down my receiver unit and unplug it from the wall thinking that this may reset the unit. After doing this, all is now fine again. I guess I'll just wait and see what is going on and if it happens again I'll go through the...
On my DISH500 unit I am getting no signal from satellite 110 even transponders. When I run the check switch all the boxes are OK except for X's on the 110 even transponders.
Any idea what is going on? Do you think my multiswitch is going bad? It is about two 1/2 years old.
Thanks.
Thanks for the suggestions. The AR cables, are they available at an audio/video store or are they an order online cable?
I was looking into connecting it with component cables instead of the S-Video. I have a WEGA set and an extra component input available. Is this worth it or is S-Video...
I am buying a PS2 for my son's 8th birthday and was wondering what accessories would be best. I was thinking of an extra controller and the memory card.
Also, do you connect the system to your TV using s-video and to your home theatre receiver using optical cables? Will this then allow the...
I just got a SVS 25-31 PC and I have a Boston Acoustics CR400. I was thinking of keeping the CR400 and set its crossover low so that it will give the room more bass effect for those big LFE effects. My HT room is big with high ceilings and opens up into a kitchen area so there is a lot of air...
I have a 32" WEGA and Dishnet 500 system with a Dish 5000 receiver. I can assure you that it looks fine. I live in Houston and have not had problems with pixels or such including getting the Houston locals via Dish. Just make sure you get the best possible signal from your Dish when it is...
