    paint and re-upholster my speakers?

    Hi I have these black speakers and the subwoofer that came with my RCA home theatre. They stand out like a sore thumb in my living room. Can you paint them without affecting the sound? What kind of paint do you use. The boxes are wood, of course. The black fabric faces are creeping me out...

    can bad electrical wiring do in my components?

    do I have too many video connections?

    :) Thank you for your help. I decided to change my receiver setup. Now I have a small stack of removed cords. The DVD works just fine with the TV when connected directly with the Svideo. I kept the digital optical connection from the receiver to the DVD player because there is a noticeable...

    help hooking up 2 vcrs to tv

    Hi, Bill, thanks for replying:D I decided to try my theory and it worked. We don't need cable boxes here so the only thing I had to take into account are the connections on vcr1, vcr2, and tv. I sort of figured what the guys at radio shack said couldn't be right so I went to the hardware store...

    can't get tv to work with speakers

    Wayne, thanks to you as well. I was referring to getting the RCA tv to work with the stereo speakers. I realized that what I did was find a setting for the tv and turned off the tv speakers. Then there was nothing but silence. When I restarted the tv the stereo speakers were working and so was...

    speaker setup in corner of room?

    hehehe! Now that's just too easy. I'll probably have to move the sub around anyways because of the way my room is laid out. From what I can gather the correct sub placement spot will be sticking out in the room in the major traffic path of the dog and cats. If I'm not using the sub would...

    speaker setup in corner of room?

    This is great information. Thank you very much. I was thinking about the subwoofer. Luckily, my downstairs neighbours is an office which is generally 9 to 5 and I don't like really loud noise anyway. I still would like to try to come up with something because I will be home during the day on...
