    Small computer screen for OSD

    Hi, does anyone know if there is a small computer screen (maybe 8 or 9 inches) available that would take a composite video or super video connection to use as an OSD. Something kind of like the Rotel 1098 screen but maybe a little bigger.

    Lighted plug on my surge protector is flickering

    I just noticed that the lighted plug on surge protector is flickering. I looked in the owners manual and it doesn't mention anything. I did a search on here and couldn't find any info. It is the Monster 5000 MKII(?)..I think. Can this thing be reset? Is it toast?

    Question about my Monster HTS 5000 MKII..

    I have a Monster HTS5000 MKII, the plug closest to it would sometimes make my powered sub that was plugged into it "thump" when I turn off a light in another part of the house. So when I installed the HTS5000 I just used the next plug(which doesn't have this problem) but now the power cord is...

    Can I change the display color of my Elite VSX-54tx?

    Browsing through Pioneers website and looking at the picture they have posted it looks like the display is blue. Mine is an amber color. Can this be changed to blue? If you go back and forth from the 52tx and the 54tx you can see the difference. I looked at my owners manual but couldn't find...

    Question on Pioneer and sub setup....

    I was at a local mom and pop store a couple of days ago and they had an excellent price on a new VSX-54TX so I bought one. Got it setup and it sounded great for movies but on stereo it wasn't sending a signal to the sub. I had to set the front speakers to "large" and then set the sub to "plus"...

    Denon 2200 owners, I have a question...

    I read on another forum that if you are watching a movie and hit the stop button, the player goes back to the start menu when you try to start the movie again. I just set up my new 2200 and if you hit "stop" and then "play" it starts from where the movie left off. This is a good thing. I am just...

    Question about mailing letter from US to Canada..

    I am buying something from someone in Canada(I am in the US). It would just be a regular envelope with a money order in it. Will the regular postage stamp get it there or is there something else I need to do? As you can tell I have never mailed anything to Canada before. Thanks.

    Which of these cables is better for digital coax?

    I am going to order a new digital coax with Eichmann Bullet ends and was wondering which would be better suited for the job and why. Canare L-5CFB, Canare LV-77S or Belden 89259. Will be installed from DVD player to receiver BTW. Stiffness should not be an issue. Thanks. P.S. I already have...

    Did Pigpen have a name?

    I watched the Charlie Brown Thankgiving special and it made me think of that character Pigpen even though he is not in that episode. Anywho, did Pigpen have a name? Like Jack or John or something? I cannot recall ever hearing them say anything but Pigpen.

    Anyone into building car models?

    I used to build these things all the time when I was younger. I recently got the urge to start building again and was looking for a kit of the Gone in 60 Seconds "Eleanor" car(2000 release with Nick Cage). I can't seem to find one. Does anyone know if a kit like this even exists?

    Good place online to buy A/V rack?

    Hope this is the right place to post this. Are there any places that sell audio racks online? I actually like the ones I have seen at Best Buy and Circuit City but I don't normally like to buy things from them. I figure you can get the same thing online for less. I did a search on here but...

    I think I'm about to buy an SVS. One question...

    I have a Monster subwoofer cable. I think it's the 300 series. Would I be OK to use this cable or buy the Better Cables that SVS sells? I know it's only a few more $$ but I'm already stretching things a little to get the sub. Also, I have heard about SVS coming out with some new products soon...

    I use a 10 degree driver(have been for many years) and was looking to try something different. I told my buddy I was going to get a 9 degree and he said I would slice with it because of the lower loft. Does anyone know if this is true and why? Not sure if this makes any difference but my swing...
