Just recently I made the decision to get in shape. I'm 20 years old, 6'1", and 212 pounds. I'd like to get down to 180. About a week ago I began jogging on my treadmill for 45 minutes a day. I have also been staying away from all unhealthy foods, or basically anything with a lot of fat and/or...

I just got a new computer with the Pioneer DVR-105 drive. I'm using Windows XP. At first I was unable to play any region-coded DVDs. Anytime I tried to play a region 1 disc, the movie would try to play, but I only got faint, choppy audio and no video. Either that, or the programs would just...

I am conducting a survey on movie violence for my Sociology class. I am trying to determine whether or not real life violence is related to movie violence, and if so, in what way and to what extent. All I need is for you guys to answer these 15 questions. You may elaborate on any of them. Also...

I am looking to buy a Region 0 version of this movie (I will use my DVDRom since I can't convert PAL on my TV), and I have come across two official versions. What are the differences? Which is better? First one: http://www.streetsonline.co.uk/commo...l?pid=10938166 Second one: Link...

My sub is the Sony SAWM40, and my receiver is the Yamaha HTR-5540. Questions: 1. I am using the LINE input on my sub. Do I need to worry about the frequency cutoff knob on the sub? 2. If the answer to the last question is yes, what do I set it to? it ranges from 50 to 170 hz. I can't...

I am trying to use VE to calibrate my speakers. When the test tone passes to the rears, is the sound supposed to come only from one speaker at a time? For me, when the tone plays the left rear, you can still hear some sound from the right rear (not as much as the left, but some nonetheless)...

I am planning to use the coaxial connection on my new receiver, and I am looking for the right cable. But today, I noticed that the cable I am currently using for my sub's "line" output is actually two cables, one of which is just dangling there. I bought the cable a year or so ago, so I don't...

I am getting my new digital receiver in a few days, and I have been reading that I should use an SPL meter to properly calibrate my speakers. Will calibrating my speakers with an SPL be a huge difference over calibrating with my ears? Is it one of those high tech, audiophile things? Or would...

I just ordered my new front speakers (Polk RT35i's), and I am now looking for speaker stands. That seems like it wouldn't be a very big deal, but I have a delima. My center speaker is set up so that it is fairly high above my TV, and I really have no other place to put it. What I need to know...

First off, is there a site that compares prices for speakers? Something similar to dvdpricesearch? If not, does anyone know of the cheapest online store to get these Polks? I saw them for $250. Is that a pretty good price? Thanks.

I am planning to use the coaxial output with my new digital receiver (I'll get it in about 2 weeks), but am still kind of confused as to what cable I should use. As of this moment, I still have my Pro Logic setup, and am using the standard red/yellow/white cables to make the DPL connection...

I've been living with my Sony DPL receiver for quite a while now, but I feel it is time to get in step with the rest of the world and get a 5.1/DTS receiver. My birthday is next month, so I only have a little while to decide on the right model. I am leaning toward the Yamaha HTR-5440. The...

I am a poor highschool student, and lately I have been having the urge to do something creative. With viewing hours of behind the scenes footage and commentaries on my DVDs, I am inspired to use my creativity to make an amatuer movie. My drawback, however, is that I have absolutely no clue...

I am looking to find a new set of mains, and a new center channel to match my Polk R-10s I am currently using as my rears. I have my setup in my (rather small) bedroom, so I am not looking for much. I am looking into the CS-245 for my center, and the rt-35's for mains. How will these speakers...
