I have an ATI all in wonder card and use my PC as a video recorded and I record a lot and even with 160GB in my desktop I am constantly moving to deleting files. Would getting a 400 DVD changer and moving all my recordings to DVD (I already have a DVD writer) be a good solution? If so, are...

I just got my first car, it's a Toyota Tercel 94 but its just for a few months until I get a job and get a better car, I'd like to get an mp3 player for it (preferably one that takes memory cards, if they exist, 'cause I hate CDs). I also want ProLogic II (I'm addicted to it for music/tv and...

I noticed 2 small bugs in my Sony receiver that annoy me since I got my projector. My receveir is behind my screen so I have to turn it's display off or else it's visible through the proejction screen (bed sheet) in dark scenes, but it leaves the orange lights on so there's always 3 orange...

After wanting the X1 for so long, I finally realized it would almost take a miracle or at least a long time before I could get one since it's sold out everywhere and I didnt want to wait anymore. I was recommended the Sharp PG-A10X a while back when I asked for LCD alternatives to the X1...

I was going to get an X1 but everyone is out of stock and I'm starting to think the Sharp PG-A10X is better since its 1024x768 and 1300 lumens for about the same price. Some people say they found it for $1000 US, where can I find it for this price? Are there any dealers in canada that have it...

I'm having a hard time understanding why people here still mostly buy TVs when they can get a much larger and better picture for cheaper with a projector. I understand if your budjet is below $1000 then you dont have much choice, but other than that, unless you have a room with absolutly no...

I went to a few home theater stores to see 2X colorwheel projectors to see if I saw rainbows, as I expected they only had high end DLP projectors ($5000 CAD+) so I obvisouly didnt see any rainbows at all even when moving my eyes across the screen. I saw the Toshiba MT5U which has a 4x...

I'll finally be able to buy the X1 in less than 2 weeks, but I really want to see a demo first because I don't know if the rainbows would annoy me or not. The only stores that have PJs setup and running are home theater dedicated stores and they don't sell the X1, I will go see other DLPs in...

I was just looking at the digital cable plans from our cable company (Videotron, in Qiebec, Canada) because I will be gtting a projector soon and I will probably want digital cable. They list a "Standard terminal" for $199 and a "High definition terminal" for $799. Does this mean I need to...

Will the X1 be cheaper after xmas? I really want it before xmas but if it's gonna be $600-700 Jan 1st I might wait. Thanks

The only place I foudn that has the X1 in Quebec (Quebec Accoustic) doesn't demo it or offer a satisfaction garantee. I really want to see a demo before getting it, does anyone know any stores in Quebec that candemo it or offer a satisfaction garantee? I know I can get a 10 day demo of the...

Something fell behind my desk and when I got it I noticed the "Surge Indicator" LED on one of my power bars was on. What does this mean? I do have almost 20 things connected in that power bar (via 2 other power bars conencted to it), is it overloaded? What am I suposed to do? I'm not gonna...

The composite video out of my PC is connected to the A/V 3 input of my receiver along with the audio out from my PC. I just connected the composite video out of my receiver to video in of my VCR so I can see my PC on the TV, but as soon as I connect the video out of the receiver to the video...

I was looking on da-lite.com why are normal pull down screens $100-200 and electric pull downs are $900+? It can't cost $700 to ad a $0.50 motor in it. Whats the catch? I might as well build my own electric pull down for $50. Thanks

Is component exactly the same signal as comes out of a video card's VGA port but with different connectors? Do they both support the same resolutions? Are there any differences besides the connectors? Thanks

I always wondered why LCDs on digital cameras look so different than on Pocket PCs. On all the digital cameras I had the pixels look blurry like on CRTs and you can kind of see the screen vibrate (low refresh rate I guess) even on my high end sony 5MP digicam. But on my Pocket PC the image is...

Someone is telling me there are also DLP cameras!?! Is he right? He also once told me you could send 5.1 Dolby throught an analog stereo connection so I'm not sure he knows what hes talking about. Thanks

Can individuals get this free 10 day evaluation or only retailers? Why does the for mask for a retailer address? Thanks

Where are the projector FAQs? Perhaps it would be worth putting it somewhere easier to find because it isn't the first time I aske where the FAQs are. Thanks

I will be getting a projector as soon as I can afford one which should be in a few months hopefully. Anyway, I'd like recommendations and ideas of how much the bulbs will cost per hour. I would like a projector that can accept a 1280x1024 signal (but 800x600 or 1024x768 native res) since that...

I was just at the store and saw some projectors, one was made by 3M and was only $2100 canadian and just under I saw 3M projector bulbs that they were selling for $27 canadian (about $20 US). Is this really for digital projectors? Arent bulbds normally at least $200 US? Thanks

With my PC, Monitor and receiver in my room, it gets VERY hot in here even in winter with my window open when it's below freezing outside. Now that summer's comming and that I have my new receiver, it's gonna be worst that last year (I only had a 300watt minisystem last year that barely got...

I thought pro logic 1 was only for movies, but I just saw my uncle's car and the sound system in it has Dolby Surround Pro Logic. For some reason it seemed to sound better than my old mini system that had pro logic, is there a version of pro logic 1 for music? I thougth only PL II was for msuic...

The only radio station I like is, obviously, the only one I don't receive on my receiver, but we get it fine in the car. I can get it on my receiver if I hold the cheap wire antenna and stand like a statue in some stupid position, so I though I just need a slightly better antenna and I'll get...

I read that you shouldn't bend fiber optic cablse to much because the light wont eb anle to go through, but how much is too much? Obviously the cable has to make some turns to get from one component to the other unless they are back to back which is never the case. Could anyone explain how...

I currently have an sound card with only analog outputs, I will get a mobo with optical/coaxial outputs soon. Will the difference in sound quality be big? Thanks

Is a 800x600 projector enough for good quality DVDs or does a 1024x768 projector make a significant improvement in quality? Thanks
