    Connection Help Needed

    I just made the transition from High Def projector to 4k TV. I upgraded my receiver a little while ago to a Marantz SR6013 and just bought the LG 86UN8570PUC 86" 4k TV. I've noticed the apps on the TV are a bit faster than my older Fire TV box and they look a lot cleaner than my PlayStation 4...

    Frozen driver - Veritas 2.2, how do I...

    Yeah, it's a big problem with the Veritas line. Great speakers. One of the best choices I've made in my home theater! lol, it definitely wasn't my choice of early adopting HD DVD and skipping Blu-ray! But, I definitely love my fronts. They are so musical and also astetically pleasing too...

    Frozen driver - Veritas 2.2, how do I...

    One woofer on the right speaker (6.5" driver). Actually that eBay link does help. I see what you're saying with the plastic cap on the rear. Energy advised all that was needed was a 5mm Alan key. When mentioned earlier, I looked on the back of the speaker and all I saw was a one-piece...

    Frozen driver - Veritas 2.2, how do I...

    Yeah, just changing the frozen driver for the new working one. I really think this is out of what I'm capable of doing. If anyone knows of a place in the Tampa Bay area that would simply pull a driver and replace it with a working one in the neighborhood of $30 for the work. Please let me know...

    Frozen driver - Veritas 2.2, how do I...

    lol, that is way over my head!!! I guess it's going to sit with a frozen driver for a few months until we pay off some of the Christmas bills and I can make time to drive the hour to an authorized Energy repair shop and pay the $60 for the driver swap fee. I was hoping it was something like, use...

    Frozen driver - Veritas 2.2, how do I...

    The driver in my right Veritas 2.2 has frozen. I ordered the replacement driver. I have it sitting here and am staring at the cabinet trying to figure out how in the heck do I remove the old driver. I really would like to avoid a $60 fee from a speaker shop I've contacted to simply swap the...

    Cable without a converter box to my Projector

    Search yielded a bunch of different options, but the one I found that meets everything I like is the Channel Master 7001. With a toslink out and HDMI, the thing does what I need. Priced at $125, but the reviews are good and it will solve the problem - also alleviates the VCR/DVDr Combo unit that...

    Cable without a converter box to my Projector

    I hope I've got the right area for this post... My wife and I finally decided to cut the cable a while ago, and do without paying for cable television. Now, we simply have basic television with Brighhouse and Road Runner internet. With our LCD TVs, we can plug the coaxial cable into the...

    FS: Sanyo PLV-Z1 and spare bulb (package)

    I am selling my PLV-Z1 projector. This unit is about 3 years old. I have the original box and a spare bulb for the projector. This projector has a native resolution of 964x544 and looks amazing. This is a great entry level projector for anyone who is looking to start, plus it has lense shift! My...

    Bond 22 (Title TBD) is now Quantum of Solace

    Well, I guess this one is of no interest to me. I think I'm the only Bond fan that really disliked the last movie. Daniel Craig just did not look and fit the part for me. Even though they are in their 60's I'd rather see Timothy Dalton or even George Lazenby come back to play 007!

    Free Blu-ray disc with completed training!

    You'll have to watch these videos that are about 5-8 minutes long. I think there were like five or six of them. Afterwards, you'll answer ten or so questions. I'd suspect that any member of AVS or HTF would be able to answer these questions without watching the video. Honestly, if you can't pass...

    Shoponkyo has refurbished TX-SR605 receivers for $299 delivered

    Looks like it's $399 to me. Did the change the price? 'Cause $299 would be one heck of a deal, even if it is a refurb.

    DeepDiscountDvd 20% off sale begins 11/9-11/25

    Yeah, they had them during the last two 20% sales. But, a lot of their prices were a few bucks more than Amazon. I have that 10% off all my HD purchases through Amazon, so it didn't benefit me to order through DDD. Right now, Transformers on HD is cheaper than Amazon... So certain titles will be...

    Actually, kind of sort of, yes! I was placing an order a few weeks ago and noticed that they were out of stock as soon as I hit the submit button and immediately hit my browser's back button and it brought me back to the order page. I checked my E-mail and the order was never placed and checked...

    So the buy.com google deal is over. Where is the cheapest place to buy BDs..?

    Does anyone know how the $10 bonus offer works? If I try to place a second order, it states the full price. Does the $10 bonus offer reflect on the second order in google checkout after purchasing an item from a store?
