Well I have not posted on here in a long time but I was wondering if you guys could help me out. My Sony DVD player has taken a crapper with a C:13:00 error message - it reads single layer discs but not dual layer - I figure it is more of a laser lens problem than just a realignment problem -...

Hi, yea well I am finally thinking of dumping the pig and have a couple of questions. Here is my deal. I figure I can install it myself, as I am technical person. Can I register or sign up the receivers that I am thinking about while not having the dish put up? In other words, I would like to...

There is some timing involved. You must press all of them fairly quickly. If it still does not work they changed it. Also is the tv off when you try to access the service menu? [PWR OFF] - [DISP], [5], [VOL+], [PWR ON] -or- [PWR OFF] - [DISP], [5], [PWR ON] -or- [PWR OFF] -...

Is it your sub turning off?

The TV is a 36" standard. It has component and composite connections and was built in 2000. Well I got into the service menu. It is quite nice really compared to the Sony service menus. If anything messes up with the settings you choose it is your own fault. So I suggest you write the...

How do I access the service menu on this tv? Is there any guides explaining some of the settings like the Sony guide on the net. I have messed with my Sony TV so I know what I am doing for those that know but are stand offish that I will screw something up. Hehehe

One 35ft coax cable with Rca plug connectors 3.5mm stereo jack to RCA female adapter RCA female Y cable to 2 male rca connectors. 3.5mm jack to sound card connect the rca coax to the female end of the adapter. Then on the other side connect the rca plug to the rca female y adapter. Then the...

1. Yes 2. RG6 coax Sweeptested at 3.0 Ghz if you can. Otherwise some very good RG6. 3. Yes your correct on the first question. You pull the cables through. They use splitters. So say a 5 way splitter. Input coming in to the splitter then splits it 5 ways. Using Coax. 4. You could do...

Maybe cause Albums the last 5 years suck that could account for that. And also that people are interested in other things than music these days. Examples Internet DVD TV VideoGames SACD/DVD-A :D

Make sure the other speakers are installed and selected in the configuration menu. That might solve the big problem. Also check your wiring for pulled out wires.

It will either delay the sounds or advance them. Either causing a larger soundstage or a small soundstage. What I have read is that the distance between the two fronts should be the distance from tv to seating area or otherwise measure from your seating area to your speakers in the front and...

Chris is right and any dvd/cd player has this feature.

I wouldn't its extremely heavy.

What is a equalizer used for in Receivers? What is the benefit? What is the downfall? I have a Sony Receiver STR-DE925 it has an equalizer that is strange to me. Anyhow for each speaker There is a frequency adjustment and a decible adjustment. The frequency in this equalizer for each Treble...

Sounds like some kind of interference that is getting through the cable.

Did you set up the speakers in the receiver. Meaning the Distance, the equalizer, speaker levels, etc Just Wondering The Rear speakers should be on the same level. "I bought a digital coax cable for my DVD player audio. It is a two stranded cable - red and white. My DVD player only has...

Yep My STR-DE925 does the same and its only DVD's. The studios need to have a short audio signal or ping before those logos to tell the receiver which to set. Yea otherwise just rewind to the begining of the logos to hear it. Very Annoying but hey early(or cheap) receivers do this.

3 Y adapters or cables would work. Why pay more? Hehehe :D

Mark Both are pretty good. Sometimes though the Optical cables may have jitter problems. Other than that I'd say pretty equal. Jason

To get 5.1 audio you need a digital optical cable or digital coaxial cable that goes from your DVD player to the receiver. As for the VCR use red and white cables for audio just so you know what is left and right. Make sure your audio connections are plugged into the right connectors. As the...

RadioShack component cable might be the culprit and RF cable in general will always look worse. Get a dvd player where you can test it and take it back to see if the problem still exists. Jason

Canare has some nice crimp rca connectors. Canare.com Also RCA has a Gold Plated RCA connector for coax cable. Hehe right from the source. For like 7 dollars you can get two RCA connectors per package for your sub cable. RCA CenterPin Picture RCA centerpin connector link

I'm interested in the Pioneer package minus the receiver. CircuitCity sales the speakers alone which I'm interested in. People have said they are good speakers but as Chen said anybody with any feed back on it. Jason

1 RCA to Coax box 1 input cable/sat coax A/B switch 1 small piece of coax the Coax from the box that changes from rca to coax to the A/B switcher. The input signal for cable/Sat into the A/B switcher then the small piece of cable to the tv. Then switch back and forth. One way anyhow.

or crimp on RCA connectors. ;)

In the corner or near a wall. Supposedly it sounds better doing this. It does matter where you put the sub despite what many believe or say. Jason

You can use a Y adapter or Y cable just make sure you run one thing at a time through the adapter/cable. Jason

All A/V Receivers have mutlple A/V in connectors. More than likely there is 3 Video in's and one TV/DBS in on the receiver. All he has to do is put a cable between monitor out on the Receiver and the first video connection. Then he can switch between the SAT, VCR, etc. You don't have to...

If I understand this Does the tv have an output that is connected to the VCR. When the TV is off the VCR doesn't record. Is this what your saying? Split the cable with a splitter and have the cable go into the TV and the VCR. Composite out of VCR into VCR in on the receiver. Set the tv at...

Check for loose speaker wire connections, dust inside receiver, enough breathing room of the receiver. Heat could be cranked a little high too hehe. :D
