If you've got an IKEA store near you, I just picked up a pair of 36" stands for my rears there for only $30. They each consist of a six-inch square concrete block with four steel tubes rising up to a small platform to mount the speaker on. The wires can be run through one of the tubes to the...

Yikes! You're not kidding! I went to audioreview to check the reviews on my player and it wasn't pretty! That's all right. Even my wife was talking about upgrading the player the other day. Come to think of it, it does skip and freeze quite a bit. She got it for me for Christmas 2000, mainly...

The manual sure doesn't say anything about...

Does it make sense to use an s-video cable between the dvd player output and the A/V receiver video input, but a yellow composite video cable between the A/V receiver output and the TV? The old TV only has a composite input, and I don't think there will be a new TV purchase anytime soon...
