    Question On Mounting a Flat Panel Monitor

    Just looking for some opinion/feedback on mounting a SMALL 20" flat panel monitor (weight approx 14lbs.) in our bedroom. I purchased a mounting bracket for mounting to a single stud (bracket weight is < 4lbs). The only problem is that the wall space available for mounting does not contain a stud...

    Question for Hitachi 46F500 Owners

    Did you purchase the matching TV stand (SP46W)? The literature for the TV states that it is approx. 40" high. That would put it at just below eye level while seated. If you add the stand (approx. 13" high), that would put the total height at about 4 1/2' at it's highest point. That is about the...

    Am I The Only "Redneck" That Owns "The Jeff Foxworthy Show"?

    I can't be the only person that bought this :D. It has been out for a week and is still not listed on DVD Profiler. I realize that the show is not great, but it is a guilty pleasure of mine.

    Help Me Decide...

    I will be purchasing a new TV within the next 4 week and have narrowed down my choices to the Hitachi 46F500 & the JVC AV-48P575. There is very little in the way of customer reviews on either set so I am looking for opinions from people who own either one. The cost difference between the two...

    Question About DVD Profiler Updates

    I have a question about DVD Profiler updates (if this is in the wrong forum, moderator please move). How often are new disks added? I just purchased "The Jeff Foxworthy Show: The Complete First Season" (I know, I'm probably the ONLY one :D ) and went to add it to my profiler. Much to my...

    ? on Married With Children Season 1 vs. Outrageous 1 & 2

    I have a question concerning the above releases. I had asked for "Married With Children Season 1" for Xmas. Unfortunately Season 1 could not be found at any local B&M stores :frowning:. The gift giver (my mother-in-law, who is very good to me) was told that purchasing "Outrageous Episodes 1 & 2"...

    Do ALL 36" 4:3 TVs have Geometry Problems?

    I am interested in getting a 36" flat screen 4:3 TV (I can't convince the wife to go 16:9 yet as she watches TOO MUCH "regular" TV). However, every post seems to complain about geometry issues with the 36" models, and it doesn't seem to matter which manufacturer. I currently own an older...

    DVD Player through VCR Question

    My daughter has an older TV set that only has an RF connector. She already has a VCR connected to it. She wants a DVD player. Is it possible to connect the DVD player to the VCR so she can use both? I understand about the picture quality of the DVD being degraded with this set-up but I'm...

    Hot Air Poppers

    I am looking for any and all opinions on the "Old-Fashioned Movie Time Popcorn Maker" by Nostalgia Electrics. This table-top device is a hot air popcorn maker that would be a perfect addition to my very modest Home Theater. There doesn't seem to be any reviews or info other than purchase...

    Opinion on Sub Setup

    I have a Yamaha RX-V595 A/V receiver and am using a Polk PSW350 for a sub. Which configuration will produce the least amount of distortion at near reference levels, LFE level on the receiver at "0" (-20dB to 0dB) & volume on the sub amp at "9 o'clock" or running the sub amp higher and the LFE...

    My Big Fat Greek Wedding

    Any word on when this is coming to DVD? My wife loved it in the theater and it would definitely be a purchase for me (provided it is in OAR).

    Pins or bare wire

    Unfortunately, most of my speaker connections are the spring-clip type. I am using 14G speaker wire inserted into the spring-clips. Would there be any benefit to using pin connectors instead of bare wire other than the obvious (stray wire to short, neatness, etc.)?

    Subwoofer Calibration Question...

    I realize that this has probably been beaten to death, but I need an opinion. I am re-calibration my speakers after moving them around. Unfortunately, I do not have a copy of either VE or AVIA so I must use the test tones in my Yamaha RX-V595 receiver. This is acceptable for now. Since the...

    A/V Receiver Ventillation

    I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask this, but I have an EQ that is sitting on top of the vents of my Yamaha receiver (I know, this is NOT GOOD) inside an entertainment center. I have installed exhaust fans behind the receiver. I have about 1 1/2" above the EQ. I need some...

    Yamaha RX-V595 Switched Output

    DVD player overheating?

    I need some advice from anyone who has experienced a similar problem. I have a 5 month old JVC XV-S45GD DVD player that recently began "freezing up" about 1/2 way through a movie. I contacted JVC tech support and they informed me that I may have "read a bad disk" and e-mailed me the reset...

    Subwoofer Cable

    What type of cable would you recommend to connect a subwoofer to the LFE output from a receiver? I need about 25' of cable. Could I use a good RG-6 cable w/75 Ohm RCA connectors or would a "digital" cable be better?
