We're going to be driving for 9 hours with 2 kids. They love to watch DVDs on our HT, so why not use the laptop during the drive? But I cannot find ANYONE who sells "car mounts" for a laptop (other than expensive police-cruiser styles). I'm thinking of some sort of strap-based system that would...

Help! Last night my babysitter watched a DVD with the kids, paused it, and then they played elsewhere for an hour before I returned home! I believe still images like this can damage any TV, correct? Is there any way to "fix" this? I'm thinking of trying something with my Pronto remote (like...

Gosh - I didn't mean to start a fight with this question! But maybe what I have learned from all of your replies is that I need to be a bit more carefull with the volume and the source (now I've re-encoded everthing using EAC and lame). Perhaps my new Norh 4.0's are not as robust as my old...

Can a driver "blow" due to something other than clipping? I've had my ceramic Norh 4.0 speakers for about 4 months now, and the midrange stopped working on one of them. I removed the driver and it reads as "open" to an ohm meter. Norh told me that this type of damage is not covered by...

I just finished installing my new Marantz SR7200 receiver, but I was unable to get my CD player to work in the other rooms of the house (using the "zone 2" or "multi-room" pre-outs of the 7200 through a separate amp). Zone 2 worked fine with other sources, such as FM radio. Then I read the...

I'm trying to find an infrared sensor to plug into my Niles IRP6+ infrared extender system. Cheapest I've found is $76 for one of these from Niles retailers. But that price seems way too high - this is just a photodiode with a pice of wire attached! Anyone have any ideas where to get this...

Ever since the change to vBulletin, I've been getting random "access violation" errors from Microsoft Internet Explorer when using this site, which kills all browser windows. Anyone else having this problem? I'm using IE version 5, Windows NT.

I just sold my Sony CDP-CX250 since I got tired of it. Even though I had it sitting level, it would drop a disk once every several hours of playing in random mode (where it switches disks after nearly every song). If a disk is dropped, it could get damaged, or others could get damaged. I once...

I'm building a full-wall cabinet for my home theater from scratch (woodworking is another one of my hobbies). I'm wondering how everyone else has solved the problem of hiding yet accessing all of the wires - interconnect, speaker, antenna, power cords. I'm thinking of putting each component on...

Ben - Did you ever hear from anyone on this? I live in St. Paul, and am also interested in a demo. But from the forum threads I've seen, maybe these are good enough to purchase without a demo!

I've "heard" many great things about SVS subs in this forum, but in order to meet the WAF requirements, I'm building a full-wall cabinet to enclose everything, with the sub enclosure in a bottom corner. With this setup, it sounds like the SVS is not the way to go, perhaps a front-firing sub...

From many other threads here, it looks like the Panasonic RP91 is one of the best values in a DVD player, due in part to its excellent "zoom" feature. My question, after talking to a Marantz representative today, is that feature really needed with the latest RPTVs? I just purchased the new...
