    HT Connections Help

    k, thanks. Now, can I mix the 2 audio signals, optical and coax digital audio? Like right now, I have the reciever on Opt mode so the DVD player works with the Digital Audio cable. If I put it on some sort of Auto mode could I successfully use both those signals when switching from the DVD...

    HT Connections Help

    I think the problem was that I was using an S-Video cable from the DVD player to the receiver, but than RCA to the TV. My TV is able to switch to Input 1-S-Video for the DVD player then on regular TV it works with the VCR. I will have to try that composite hookup with the VCR. When I do get the...

    Just saw the movie last night. I liked some parts of it, but I was pretty dissapointed with Ben Affleck as Jack Ryan. Not one of my favorite movies, but it was tolerable.

    Reccomendations for Wall Mounts for Rear Speakers

    I just need some advice here. I'm going to be moving my CSW Newton M50's to rear speakers so I want to get wall mounts for them. I want something that rotatoes and obviously is able to support my speakers. Idealy if they are available in white/cream color that'd be great. Thanks!

    Fuse for CSW BassCube8s

    I guess I'll do that. I also called CSW and they told me just to bring the sub in. So I'll see what happens, althought bringing the fuse to Radio SHack might be the easiest way!

    Fuse for CSW BassCube8s

    Well, we had a nasty lighting storm today and my sub no longer turns on. It was in a surge protector but i guess it fried. I took out the fuse and it was partially black, so I think that's the culpret. I got the fuse specs from the manual: 1A 250V What do I ask for when I goto radio shack...
