I am looking to connect a DVD player and Playstation to a television with only one S-VID input. I know they make it, but Im not sure what I am going to look for at Rat-Shack. Thanks

While having family over yesterday for Father's day we were watching Die Another Day. The system was cranking all the highs and explosions but the dialogue was so low I had to turn up the volume up so loud that the loud portions of the movie were unbearably loud. It was only for lower dialogue...

I purchased my AVIA disk about 9-11 months ago. Ive used it MAYBE a dozen times or so. Maximum 18 times. The inner ring is CRACKING!. Right where it goes onto the little holder in the jacket. It looks like its holding on for dear life but is ready to any minute. I think the inner ring is encoded...

When I power up my DA2ES I find a very, very low pitched transformer hum coming from the unit. It is barely audible, but I was curious if that was considered normal. The unit gets quite warm when watching movies. I wonder if the 2 are tied together. Other than that, the unit works great and I...

I want to mod my SAWM40 and have bought both. Anyone try both and find one works better than the other? Thanks in advance folks.

Ok here is my setup: Sony STRDA2ES receiver JBL NSP1 Sony SAWM40 Sub Im using AVIA to calibrate speakers. Calibrated all to 75db (including Sub). This was easy. When I leave it like this and watch a movie, the bass is just not to my liking. I like I little deeper feel to my bass hits...

After toggling back and forth for weeks now, I think thats the setup I want. Anyone have any opinions? I think the amp is overkill for the speakers, but at least I have room to upgrade the speakers later!:) Anyone see a detriment to using this amp with this setup? Opinions appreciated...

I went to a brand new Best Buy last night and demo'ed this system. Point being, that since the store is new, not too many people have gone in there and screwed the connections totally up. It was hooked into their best Yamaha amp. I love the setup but I was concerned over the "chuffing" of the...

Sears currently has it for 149.99. I this a good price? I think so because most online retailers have it for less but with shipping, it would work out to be more. I want to go pick it up at lunchtime......Please help!

I recently purchased a new wall unit. It is the kind with 2 piers and a bridge across. I know my center will sit on the bridge above the television. The question is regarding my mains. There are 2 possible locations: 1.Shelves on each side of the piers that are above the listening area by about...

After reading a dizzying array of posts I have decided to go with JBL speakers. My current setup is the once popular but older Kenwood HTB-503. I've been very happy with the system, but as many told me early on, once I get bitten by the upgrade bug--Im going to want to upgrade. Well, its time...

I tried searching the forums for this but came up empty so I thought I would ask. I recently got a cheap Magnavox home theater in a box for my kids play room. It sounds fantastic, decent picture and seems to work well with one minor exception. Dialogue is sometimes out of synch up to a 1/2 a...
