    Component cable question

    Quick question... unfortunately the component cable from my DVD player to my projector is about 6 - 10 inches too short. I've run the cable above the drop-down ceiling in my basement to shorten the length which I thought 20 feet of cable would be enough. I wanted to know if using female...

    Need a push

    I'm still on the fence on FP vs. RPTV. I've been reading great things about FP here and at other forums. I've read the pros and cons on both video types. Still I'm leaning towards RPTV. My location for viewing FP is somewhat irregular, i.e., 16'x13', low ceiling (6'4"), and an obstacle (air...

    Room dimensions for front projection

    Need some advise please. I would like to have front projection and my room dimensions are of concern. My HT will be in my basement and the area is 16x13 and the height is only 6'4". Will the low height of the ceiling negate my being able to have front projection? Thanks.

    Electrical Surge question

    Before I plunk down my hard earned cash on a $2-4k TV, I have a question about the electrical surge in my home. When my central A/C unit cycles on every 10-15 minutes or so, my house lights dim for a second or so then brighten back up. The surge doesn't seem to effect my 32" CRT TV, but I was...

    Any opinions on the these speakers?

    A good friend of mine has the opportunity to purchase these two speaker systems at a very good price, at least 50% less than retail. But he hasn't had the chance to listen to them yet.

    Is there a way to correct this problem?

    I just bought the Hitachi 32UDX10S and I have a question/problem. I played the Star Wars movie and I noticed that I have a small grey colored area, maybe an inch in height, just above and below the pitch black letterbox area. This also occurs on other DVDs. What causes this? And more...
