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...

    Is there such thing as an analog audio switch box for Ext. In?

    Ok, so I made the jump to HD DVD a few weeks ago and am going nuts with using TOS Link vs. the 5.1 analog audio outputs on the HD-A1. I listen to a fair amount of DVD-A and hate having to switch the plugs between two players to make use of the 5.1 analog out on the HD-DVD player. Is there such...

    Turntable questions

    I listen to a lot of Porcupine Tree and European prog-rock bands that release limited edition vinyls, and over the past two or three years I've been picking up a whole bunch of albums for no apparent reason.

    I just got the Sanyo Z1 on Monday. For some reason I cannot get the image to be rectangular. Without using the keystone, the Z1 is projecting a trapezoid.
