Hi all, I'm looking for a little advice on some in-ceiling speakers. We are renovating our home, and will be replacing the ceilings in our living room, dining room, and kitchen. I plan on installing some in-ceiling speakers for general listening/background music (no home theatre or critical...

To save some living room space, and for asthetics, I moved my receiver, vcr and dvd player into my enclosed tv stand. The receiver is on top, as I figure it would be generating the most heat and would affect the other components less. There is about 1.5" from the top of the receiver to the...

One of the corners of my Sony Trinitron tv has some distortion in it. I think it is a result of having a non-shielded speaker too close to it. It is mostly visible when I have a blue screen on, it looks red in the corner. Is there a way I can degauss it, or do I need to take it to the repair...

Can someone fill me in? I haven't been able to keep up with Spin City for a while, but I remember when Mike left, he was dating Kaitland (sp?) and now Charley is dating her. What happened? :confused:

I took a picture of this last summer on my way home from Vancouver. I call it the "motel-mobile". Can anyone say what this is for sure?

This thread was inspired by another thread about people leaving during the end credits. I got to thinking that there are lots of movies that I find have the coolest opening credits! Off the top of my head, some of my favorite opening credits are: Seven Fight Club Anyone else?

So why are the curved screens so much better? I assume they are supposed to eliminate distortion, but from my experience, it makes things look bent. Credits and subtitles appear curved on the screen instead of straight. Was it a case of my not being in the center of the theatre? I was only a...

I am moving across the country and most of my belongings will be packed and shipped and stored until I can find a good place to live (in the meantime I will stay with some family). I would like to ship my computer and my home theater seperately so that I could use it before I get the rest of my...

It looks as if I will be moving to the Toronto area shortly. I know there is a lot of salt on the roads there, as compared to where I live now, where salt is rarely used. Does anybody have any advice or suggestions for rust proofing my car? Is one method better than the others? I have a...

I have come to the sad conclusion that I am bored of the Internet. :frowning: I mean, don't get me wrong, the Internet is great for research, shopping and communicating, and I wouldn't dream of giving up my high speed, but still... I am just not satisfied by anything out there any more. I...

I tried burning a VCD to a CD-R to see if it would play on my Toshiba SD1600. I've heard the player is compatible with VCDs. The CD-R did not work, the player showed "Disc Error" on the display. I did some more research and found out that the player needs CD-RW, so I burned it again onto a...

What's the deal with these commercials? Every one I have seen so far is just plain wierd. Like the one with the guy with his leg in a cast and a family that seems to be evil, not letting him leave the house. Or this new fry commercial that has a kid depressed about not making the basketball...
