I just put together a system for a friend and used the 1400 reciever. When I run the test tones, the sub outputs sound, but when I play stereo or watch TV (haven't tried a DVD yet) the sub isn't playing. Am I missing something in the settings?

I have the HK 520 reciever. On some TV channels, usually my high def. channels, it will activate Dolby Digital with Pro Logic II at the same time. I don't mind this but it doesn't send a signal to my sub. It also won't let me switch to any other mode. This also happened on a DVD the other...

Just curious if anyone has any luck having their xbox reading a cd-r. I wanted to rip some music from burned disks to the hard drive but it won't recognize the discs.

I've wanted to pick up Midnight Club 2 for awhile now. I've been pretty much addicted to PGR2 and am wondering if Midnight Club 2 is worth getting. Anyone have both of these games and can say if they still play MC2 with PGR2 in their library? MC2 is on sale at Target for $30 and I almost picked...

I use a wireless router and card for my laptop around my house. I want to go wireless at my office to get broadband to 6 PC computers. I'm curious on the equipment I need. Obviously I need a wireless router, but do I just need a wireless PCI card for the PC's? I've seen those PCI cards with an...

The thread about answering the door at 1AM got me wondering, what do you have to do to legally buy a gun? I'm in Florida and have been wanting to get one for my house but never really looked into it. Do you just apply for a license or are there classes to take?

I have a Harman Kardon 520 and am watching DirecTV right now (football game on Fox) and thought I had the reciever in 2 channel stereo, but I can hear my surrounds. That made me look at the receiver and noticed DTS is on. I thought that was only on DVD's. Can anyone explain to me what's going on?

For you guys that are using a wireless network to run your xbox on XBL, what product/access point did you use? I'm searching the different major brands and most of them are USB Access Points, but as you know, we need an RJ-45 adapter to hook to the xbox. Does anyone have a list of RJ-45 wireless...

I have a Harmon Kardon 520 reciever and I use either Logic 7 or Pro Logic II when I am watching regular TV. When using either, my surround speakers seem to be working fine, you can hear them, but they are low, and every once in awhile the surrounds will get louder and stay louder. I hate to say...

I haven't had a good year when it comes to speeding tickets. I got my first ticket almost a year ago. I did the 4 hour class for it and its not on my record. Two months ago, I got another ticket. It was for speeding, but the officer wrote it up as failure to obey a posted sign which was a little...

I have a Harman Kardon 520 which has video switching. Does this mean when I switch the input on my reciever, the TV should automatically switch its input to corrolate with the input on the reciever? If not, is there anyway I can do that? I hate having to change the TV to input 2, then change my...

Is the way a creditcard charges interest on a balance the same method used when you get a loan on a car? The reason I ask is I'm shopping for a new car and yesterday AMEX sent me these checks in the mail with a 2.9% interest rate till it is payed off. The lowest rate I have been quoted on a 5...

I just purchased an Adire Tempest sub and a plate amp from Parts Express (the 250watt amp with 6db boost) and am curious if anyone has any experience with the Tempest sub in their home. What is the best size box to build? I was going to build the 21.5" square box from the plans on their site...

I have a big flower bed that is full of weeds. I also have some bushes, plants and ground cover plants that I do not want to kill. If I spread out some weed kill or weed and feed stuff, will it just kill the weeds or will my ground cover plants and bushes and small palms be affected?

I have a leather sofa I purchased 3 years ago. At the time of purchase, I bought the 5 year warranty that covered any damage to the leather. I have a copy of the warranty and it states repair or replacement. Well, the guy came to repair the sofa (its 3 1" rips in the seating area...2 cushions...

Is there such a thing as a bad disk? I bought Fever 2003 and it will not load. I get the dirty disk/won't recognize disk error when I put it in my xbox. All my other games work and I just recently got xbox to replace the cd drive and since then, I haven't gotten any errors on any of my games...

There's a site I've seen people refer to that lists tons of online codes and coupons for good deals on Dell computers and other sites on the net. Does anyone know the site I'm talking about?

I'm researching wireless routers to use with xbox live and am just wondering, how do you actually make the xbox wireless? I've seen wireless PCI cards and wireless PC cards (for laptops), but I've never seen a wireless adapter that hooks directly into an ethernet plug. Do they make them? How do...

I will be getting online soon and currently have an SMC Barricade router. I bought a long cat5 cable already in preperation of it, but now I'm thinking I might want to go wireless for the xbox. What I want to know is if anyone is experiencing any lag with wireless and also, which router is...

What should I do with it? It powers on and exterior wise is in great condition. The only problem with it is it won't eject the tape that is in it. It also won't spin the tape when I press the play, rewind, etc. Is this thing worth anything? I think these were made from 1977-81 or somewhere's...

I turned my xbox on today and all the games are in black and white. I changed the input on my tv and it was still in b&w so I know the TV input didn't go bad. I guess this is my xbox? Anyone ever hear of this before? I'm using the AVpack and running s video and optical for 5.1. I was also...

I installed my dish today and am not getting any signal strength. As far as I can tell, its hooked up correctly (coaxial from the dish to the reciever in the house) and the dish is aimed in the general direction of where its supposed to be, so I'm assuming I should be getting some kind of...

I have an xbox. I also just bought the SegaGT/JSRF combo game. The game was new and sealed, I opened it, clicked on SegaGT and got the dirty disk error. This is with a new cd. Now, I can play JSRF all I want and it works perfect, but it refuses to load Sega GT. Is there any way to get this to...
