    Question about Digital Cable Signal Processing (Cablevision)

    Doug, I just became a cablevision subscriber this month and have the digital package. The Scientific America box has three video outputs that can be used at the same time - a S-Video jack and rca jack to play through monitors plus the standard F-type connection through channel 3. It also has...

    Can a Splitter be used for Digital Audio?

    Thanks Tim and John for getting back to me. I took Jeff's advice and purchased a standard push-button a/b switch from Radio Shack which did the trick. While used for video the switch works fine sending a single 5.1 signal to two a/v receivers using 75-ohm coaxial cable. Connect the cable...

    Can a Splitter be used for Digital Audio?

    Jeff, thanks for the quick feedback. I have been looking for a switchbox but have only come across a/v ones for stereo or optical cable. If I used a switchbox and only connect the 75 ohm audio cable to the left channel input/outputs, would this do the trick?

    Can a Splitter be used for Digital Audio?

    My digital cable box has just one digital (coaxial) output. When connecting a splitter to feed the 5.1 signal to both my HT systems audio was fine on one receiver but did not come through on the other (even though it indicated receiving a digital signal). When the coaxial was connected directly...

    Uh-oh, I think my DVD player just died... (Panny DVD-CV51)

    I know of three lines of Panasonic DVD players that broke down after a year - their second generation players (A110 and A310 models) and the RV-31 (after 13 months it stopped reading discs and displayed the code "HO2"). This wasn't just my bad luck - a forum in HTF on the RV-31 showed this was...

    "Digital" cable TV vs. analog cable TV vs. OTA: my experience.

    Jeff, can't thank you enough for your advice about the bi-directional splitter and the radio shack link. I just subscribed to digital TV and the regular video splitter caused a sight deteriation in picture quality. Connecting a 10db video booster made it too strong. I never heard of...

    "Digital" cable TV vs. analog cable TV vs. OTA: my experience.

    Like Andy, I live in NYC, but in the Bronx, which is serviced by Cablevision. I had been subscribing to a local dish service which did not provide surround sound and so-so picture quality, so when I saw Cablevision now offered digital service I changed carriers. Andy can get the YES network...

    My RV31 is dying after only 6 months!!!

    My RV31 died on me last week. It suddenly stopped reading discs and after several attempts at reloading the code "H02" came on. I called Panasonic and was told how to reset the machine - it did not help. From other websites I have learned this is common with the RV31 line. It's a shame, too...

    New Sharp DV S25U

    I needed a replacement for my Panasonic RV-31S which broke a little more than a year after I got it (like many others, I get code H02). I saw the Sharp DV-S1U (the silver counterpart to the DV-S2U) at Wholesale Liquidators for $69.99. Because it was for my smaller HT system I took a chance...
