    Panasonic LX-600u LD player

    Rich: Instead of looking for the specific remote, how about a Universal remote. Otherwise, I believe you can order replacement parts directly from the Panasonic website. I used to have the link, but of course I can't find it now. Bob

    Get these Advents or Start Over With?

    Flooring for HT dedicated room

    James: I used to run the flooring department in one of those big box building centers, so I may be able to answer your questions. You can put almost any type of flooring you like over that concrete slab, except 3/4 in solid wood strip flooring. If you are making a multipurpose room, you...

    Couple quick buying questions

    Justin: I got my Denon AVR 1803 and my Denon DVD from them, plus an HP media receiver several months ago, and have been very happy. The units looked pristine and have no problems with them. The only thing I did't like, and had no trouble living with, was that the DVD player did not come in...

    Seeking TV/entertainment armoire...

    Rob: Do you have a Target (store) handy? They usually have some nice looking stuff that's different and not expensive. Lowe's and Home Depot also carry RTA furniture. If your local WalMart is always out of stock, go ask for a manager to help you locate what you are looking for. Also, IKEA...

    Some problems...

    Tim: Lets try to get everything working OK. Can you post your equipment, and someone can tell you exactly which cables go where. We need: Receiver Make and Model # (YAMAHA 5590, right?) TV Make and Model # (and what kind of jacks you have on the back, and what their labels are)...

    Some problems...

    Tim: Re: the Subwoofer--there is no left/right run an audio cable from the SUBWOOFER OUT on the back of the receiver to an INPUT on the subwoofer (left or right, it doesn't matter) The key to hooking up cables from a receiver to components is to hook an OUTPUT on the component to an...

    Analog Only

    The only way to get a digital signal is to use the digital outputs on the DirecTV box, or PS2, and run the appropriate digital cable to the digital inputs on the Denon receiver. (The DirecTv box may not have digital outputs, though.) Digital cables come in two flavors--COAX and OPTICAL (AKA...

    Should I buy this laptop?

    Pricewatch is showing 40GB hard drives for Dell notebooks for $99. If you have a 32bit cardbus slot (PCMCIA), you could do a wireless network card. I think $90 is a good price. Bob

    VCR & Redundant Connections?

    You have two different signals that are using the cables on your VCR: a "broadband" signal, and a video signal. The broadband signal carries the signal for all your TV channels, both audio and video, that is then "tuned" or "decoded", so to speak, at the TV or VCR into the video signal and audio...

    Wired or wireless network?

    There is no law that says you have to have either/or. You can mix both types on a network. Buy a wireless router (they are only a few dollars more that an access point) and a wired ethernet switch and you'll be all set. Put a wireless card in the laptops, wire the HTPCs, and you could even add...

    Converting garage into HT....very long.

    Any photos? Or dimensioned drawings? How far down is the floor from the door? What part of the country? You probably need to tear off the drywall. Is there insulation in the exterior wall? Enough electrical outlets installed? How is this room going to be heated and/or cooled? Would you want...

    My HT room is ugly. Horrible. Hideous. Please help me make it comfortable.

    Could we have some room dimensions? Are the bookcases movable, and what size? Do you have a listing of what stuff you have in this room? (Equipment, stands, furniture, etc). Then throw some of it away! :D

    rack near water heater

    Aaron: You really don't have one 240V line--it's really 2-120V lines; just different phases. You shouldn't have interference. I would be more concerned about when the water heater eventually fails (and they all do). When I worked in a lumberyard, the plumbers liked to tell stories about...

    TV Surround Troubleshooting

    Mike: Do you have a stereo VCR? Does your TV have a stereo audio out? Do you have a cable box with stereo audio out? You need one of the above to do surround sound (and then it will only be Dolby Pro Logic II) Hook one of the stereo audio outputs of one of the above to an audio input...

    Computer printing question

    Microsoft Publisher has the ability to do this. Go into page setup, and there is a choice to make the paper size to poster size, and to any size poster you want. Then create your document (just a matter of pasting the picture I suppose) And it's real fun to try to align all the sheet!
