    Onkyo TX-SR606 and Panasonic DMP-BD55K Blu Ray Player

    Last week I received my orders for both the Onkyo TX-SR606 receiver and the Panasonic DMP-BD55k Blu Ray player. They are both great! But...I can't figure out how to get the blu ray player's video image to pass through the receiver out to the projector. My projector is an Infocus X2 (1080i...

    Reusing DVD+RW discs

    I have several DVD+RW discs that I recorded using the Philips stand-alone DVD recorder. Now I would like to write over some of them using the computer. So far I've been unsuccessful in doing this...I suspect that it's a formatting issue, though I'm not sure. I tried right-clicking on the drive...

    How to run Norton Ghost on XP operating system?

    I just purchased Norton Ghost and installed it on my XP computer. I seem to be unable to see how to launch the program, and the read.me file says that it can't be run on a non-DOS system. Yet the packaging clearly states that it's made for XP, and has the XP logo. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

    Just bought Yamaha 5280...no 6th speaker?

    I just purchased the Yamaha 5280 receiver and was excited to get the 6.1 sound going! However, it doesn't have a way to hook up the 6th center back speaker! Sorry to sound naive about this, but what good is a 6.1 decoder if there's no 6th speaker? I must be misunderstanding or missing...

    Just curious! I had heard from several sources that the Reg. 2 German version of Dune 2000 contains about 30 minutes of extra footage not included in the Reg. 1 version. I have the German version, and it clocks in at 273 minutes. Most sites are listing the Reg. 1 version at 295. I know about...

    Digital Eyes....arghhh!

    I'll start by saying that in the past I have bought literally hundreds of DVDs from Digital Eyes...when they were good, they were very good! Now, however, it's a different story, and despite Mark's lengthy post of a few weeks ago, they don't seem to be back on track yet. I stopped ordering...
