    dvd player help

    I have a 61 inch Sony (HS-10) and I was hoping to keep it in the $200 range. If I understand correctly, it looks like the Denon 1910 should be a no-brainer. I have two problems though....first, I'm pretty brand loyal.....is this stupid? I really like Onkyo and Sony products and like to stick...

    Max Payne help

    At the risk of sounding like a dim bulb...I'm stuck at Rosco street. Wtf?! The Transit cop you save keeps getting blown away when he opens the door and ya can't get through. All other doors are also locked and I can't see a damn thing in the train. Anyone have a walkthrough?

    X-Box overheating???

    Anyone having a problem with the Box overheating? This weekend, two of my buddies were telling me that the Box runs red hot and is having a problem with overheating. This was news to me since I read this board every day and haven't seen anything posted about this. Both of these guys build...

    Audio problem, please help

    While watching tv programs, I'm noticing that the audio is cutting out on loud scenes and scenes with lots of quick cuts(like commercials). Sports too...when they show a swooshing graphic the audio cuts out for a split second. Maybe I have a bad cable box? Is my tv (sony hs10) messed up...

    Component video = no improvement in picture

    I was expecting a big difference in picture quality when I switched to component video but no dice. The picture looks the same as it did before(which is great). When I start up a dvd I get a "DTV format 480i" text on the bottom of the screen. What am I missing?

    PIP help

    I give up! How do I get my pip to work? I have my cable going into the cable box and out to my Sony hs10...no vcr. I'm also using the channel fix on 3 which I think has something to do with it but I can't figure it out.

    X-Box or PS2?

    Let me start by saying that I was perfectly happy when Playstation was the only game in town. I have never liked Nintendo and I still don't, even with Nintendo getting Resident Evil....I'll learn to live without it. Now Microsoft is stepping into the ring and is messin with my head. How can...

    Living room speaker placement

    I was wondering what the drawbacks are to mounting my speakers near the ceiling in the corners of the room. I have to set everything up in the living room with a couch, loveseat, chair setup so there is no real "sweet spot". The tv is on a 9' wall at the top of the room with an open doorway on...

    Just got my gear...WOO HOO

    I picked up an Onkyo 595 and the JBL Northridge series and 10" sub today. I won't be hooking anything up till late September (cause that's when we move into our new place) and the wait may kill me. This will be matched with a 61" Sony HS10 and Sony DVD player...I CAN NOT wait. While I love...

    ...on Ebay "new" without sub for $350. I'm on a very limited budget, should I grab these? I'm going to pick up an Onkyo 595 and I'm in need of some decent budget speakers. A couple of you guy's gave me some solid advice and told me to hold off on the sub for now and spend what I can on either...
