    Cable length

    I am pretty cofident that you will not need a booster for either of those signals. However I have heard that a different approach must be taken when runs of 25ft. plus are being ran. For the component cables I would run 3 lines of RG6 cable and crimp on 3 rca connectors. I beleive this would be...

    Pioneer Elite VSX21 Addition...(Kit281s, MonoBlock Amps, etc.)

    Alright then, I think going with the mono blocks is not the way to go. So I guess I will just by a new receiver. What do you think I should try and get for the VSX-21; its about 2.5 years old now, but its still a new little receiver. I hope I can get over 250CND for it. Or am I dreaming...

    Component to HD15pin cable

    Yeah the CAT5 worked really good, the improvement over s-video was defiently worth it. I would say its comparable to the difference between composite and component cables on a regular TV. Im not sure what you mean by STP or UTP. My dad just had a box of 1000ft of CAT5 for wiring the house for...

    Component to HD15pin cable

    The CAT5 design is what I orginally made. I just thought using RG6 instead of CAT5 would be better. Adam

    Component to HD15pin cable

    I just finished building a 25' cable for my DVD player to Projector out of 3-25' runs of RG6 cable one end terminated with crimp on RCA connectors. The other end to the projector (an X1) currently has a 15pin male connector. I used to have the exact same type of connections on each end using...

    Ports and 'Stuff'...

    I was wondering if you have the diameter and length of the port determined for a given volume, do these numbers need to be recalculated if stuffing is placed in the box, as the stuffing would effectively increase the volume in the box??? If this is true how does one go about determining the...

    Infinite Baffle Setup

    In my room a portion of the ceiling is dropped to box in pipes and stuff. This was done with steel frame and drywall -sheetrock. The volume inside this dropped area would be sufficient for an IB setup, however I was wondering if drywall(sheetrock) is enough to isolate the front and back waves...

    I too would like to know how exactly you achieved the look on the edges. It appears to be 1/4" (?) veneer with something squished into the joints and smoothed down at a 45 degree angle ? BTW they look great. Thanks Adam

    Toshiba 50H82 set-up ???

    In my experience I plug the TV in and the DVD/VCR what have you and then turn on the TV. You can watch the set out of the box! If you are referring to tweaking the performance of the set, this is more of an ongoing thing as you must first break-in the TV [100hours+ ] before doing any real...

    Monsters Inc. DVD display on new PTWX42????

    Bruce I apolligize if i am incorrect, but arn't all the values in the form 1.85:1, not 1:85:1 etc. Because this is a ratio between screen height and length (only 2 numbers) therefore ___:___ not, __:__:__ So not if the 'middle' number gets bigger, but the 'left' number or screen width, do...

Im looking for something on the smaller side, less than 12" high, 7-10" wide, 7-10" deep. It has to have a good, relatively flat, response, none of this...

    Toshiba 42HDX82 vs. Sony 34XBR800

    Definetly go with Toshiba the size is alot larger and picture quality will, IMO, be more filmlike and smooth compared to the direct view. If you are more then 5 feet away, get the tosh! Adam
