I have a BenQ projector. How do I find out what version firmware it has?

Please ask your FAQs here or add questions and answers as well. 1. What is the difference between the two Toshiba models? Answer (credit to Pete TC): The HD-A1 ($499) is the same as the more expensive HD-XA1 except: * The XA1 has a double chassis for even less vibration * The XA1 has...

Can someone explain the difference between the two Toshiba models (other than the chassis)? Also, I understand the RCA player is the same as one of the Toshiba models, but which model? One final question: I have 7.1 speaker setup in my ht. Am I understanding correctly that 7.1 will not work...

I don't post a lot but wanted to discuss this sub. For those of you that own it and actually want more bass, what size room do you have? My room is fairly large and I just plugged it in and cranked it up and on Lord of the Rings, 3 walls away stuff is vibrating off the walls. I don't...

Does anyone know where I can get some for very large windows? I want the kind that operate on a track inside the window sill.

The wife nixed the idea of building and infinite baffle. Something about my rudimentary carpentry skills. She did say I can get whatever I want in the way of a sub. So, would you get 2 svs cylinders, the b2, or wait until the b4 comes back out? My ht is an enclosed garage about 22 feet by 35...

I am slowly replacing my gear and while I want the SVS for the performance factor, I wanted to know if anyone who owns it thinks it is feasible to cut a hole in my wall and put a grill over it to kind of hide it. I am adding on a garage to the room that I am using as a home theater and the back...

I just got a BenQPE7700. I am getting a 16:9 screen between 140"-150". The BenQ manual says I can place the projector between 14.5 and 19.5 feet for a 150 inch screen. It will be mounted on the ceiling. I would prefer 19.5 as that will put the projector almost above my head rather than in front...

and no HDMI or DVI. I have a BenQ 720p projector and it accepts HDMI and component. The problem is I have dvd player and a dvd recorder both of which need component hook-ups. My cable box has a DVI out. I would prefer to run them all directly to the BenQ, hopefully, with some sort of 3 to 1...

I mostly lurk on this site and do not post much. I need your help. I am the co-founder of the SOS Committee (Save Our Saints) which was started to keep the New Orleans Saints in New Orleans as the city of San Antonio is trying to loot them from us. Despite what you may have heard, all of New...

Hi, I hope I can post this in this forum. I was a subscriber to this magazine. I know it is now not publishing and was merged into HDTV Etc. However, what happened to Clint Walker. Anyone know?

I read the post about this which is a sticky. After reading it, I am still unsure about what I should get. I have cable at home and the last surge protector I bought would not allow me to view ppv when the cable was run through the surge protector. I would like to get one that allows me to...

I have what sounds to me like a "hiss" coming out of my speakers when I am playing a DVD. I can only hear it during the very quiet parts of a movie. Does anyone know what is causing the problem and how I can fix it. Thanks.

I have owned 3 Hitachi Big Screens in the last several years. Fortunately, I bought the extended warranty because they have all died on me or gone bad. I just had Gregg Loewen calibrate my tv this past summer and now, once again, the exact same problem happens. The screen is going dark and...

Can anyone tell me where they bought a mounting kit to mount a portable dvd player in a car? I want one that does the following: 1. Requires no tools or permanent installation. 2. Maybe a mounting "case" as opposed to a "bracket"? I thought I saw one in a magazine that was a case and...

Bob, I was just about to ask a question on hooking this stuff up when I read your post. I still have a question though. I have the following: 1. DVD Player (Liteon). 2. DVD Recorder (Philips DVDR80). 3. Motorola Cable Box. 4. JVC Receiver. 5. Hitachi RPTV. I don't use the...

I posted this a while back and Sears finally gave in and will give me a new tv since I bought the extended warranty. They carry some projectors but it does not appear anything that is really good so I guess I'm going with another RPTV. I'd like some suggestions: If you had your pick and could...

Hi everyone, I just thought I'd post my situation regarding my Hitachi 61 inch big screen with Sears Warranty Repair and see if anyone knows the answer to the "preset brightness" button. I bought the warranty because they come out and repair the tv if there is a problem (and I've had problems...

Hi everyone, I am looking to upgrade from my Cerwin Vegas and I went to a local store to check out these and we compared 3 sets of speakers. Boston Acoustics, Klipsch Reference, and Mirage 260. The Klipsch and the Boston sounded good (all 3 did for that matter). However, the Mirage has...

Hi everyone, My DVD Player just started going out within the last hour. I was all set on the Denon 1600 as I've been reading this forum for a while and everyone seemed to like it so I knew when I bought a new one, that I was going to get it or the Philips DVD963SA. Now, I see all these review...

Hi everyone, I watch TV in Pro Logic Surround Sound. I have a JVC Receiver and when I play DVDs, it automatically selects the 5.1 or Dolby Digital Sound. However, it leaves the Pro Logic Surround Sound Button on. Should I leave it this way or should I turn off the Pro Logic Surround Sound Button?

Hi everyone, I have Cable One as my cable service provider. I currently have the Motorola DCT2000 as my digital cable box. However, I understand the Motoral DCT5100 "upconverts" not only digital channels but analog channels also which makes the picture better. Is this right? Does anyone have...

Hi everyone, When I turn on a ceiling fan, my speakers make a popping sound. I had an electrician install another outlet because I thought that was the problem. It still didn't fix it. I've now been told it is RFI. Is there any way to fix this?

Hey, I have Cerwin Vega E-310 floor standing speakers and an LW-10 subwoofer. I have been reading a lot of the posts regarding speakers, etc. and I am looking to make an upgrade if it means that much of a difference in the sound. The question I have is whether the upgrade will make much...

Hi everyone, I am considering upgrading my DVD Player. I have a couple of concerns: 1. Rental discs. Invariably, they are scratched or have been mishandled and I'd like a DVD Player that can handle these problems. 2. DVD Etc. reviewed a Phillips DVD Player with the Farjouda (spelling is...

12 guage speaker wire and 14 guage speaker wire on a 50-75 foot run? The 12 guage wire that I have now was not shielded. The 14 guage wire that I am thinking of installing now is shielded. Which is better?
