    projector has a "scrolling" line in display????

This causes a small amount of 60Hz AC current traveling on the shield side of your interconnects and RF coax cables. It gets induced...

    Do you use the tone control?

    I turned my treble down quite a bit because of an overly bright room. After putting up some wall hangings I have been able to put the treble back toward normal.

    Question regarding use of older components

    I started out simular to you with a preamp and power amp stereo. I ended up with a new receiver, and used my existing power amp with a passive subwoofer I purchased. After a while I put my PA amp on the sub, and used the power amp for the rear surrounds on a 7.1 setup. My old preamp is retired.

    SVS PCi driver upgrade worth it?

    I have the 16-46CS which I believe has the same driver. I think it was worth it. I would bottom out when watching PM during the pod race (loud). I noted my levels and after the upgrade I was able to go through the scenes at 2db louder without any bottoming out (loud +2). I have yet to bottom the...

    I refuse to use MBE after they tried to charge me a $19 pickup fee, almost double the UPS charge. It was only $2 the first time I used them. Office Max near my house is a UPS pickup station and they don't charge any extra. The last time I UPSed a package, the shipping was $6.50 less than the...

    I own a DBX 120XP unit. It has a crossover of 120 or 80hz, being the receiver crosses at 80 hz, I set it at 120. I go into the left in and out the subwoofer output. You do get processing out of the L/R outputs, but it is more pronounced from the subwoofer out. You can adjust subwoofer level...

    Subwoofer Placement

    Bob, I had heard of this theory before and was wondering how to work it. Is it OK to give my wife your name when she catches me crawling around from beer can to beer can? Just kidding, she is used to me doing that. :) Seriously though, Thanks for the help.

    question about my older cd player

    I have an old Pioneer CD player that starts "skipping" every year or so. I found the rails to be dry, and I use a q-tip that I put a drop of 3in1 oil on and dab the rails with it. These are metal rails, and I use very little oil. I then put in a long disc and go between the first and last track...

    I tried to open a PalPal account, but they could not verify my credit card. They couldn't, but no one else has trouble with it. So I tried to close the account, but I couldn't do that because they couldn't verify my credit card. This put me in a catch 22 situation. I wrote them a letter stating...
