The room I'm wanting to do this in has the computer on one side and the TV on the other and it won't work to put them both on the same side of the room. It's not a big room though so a 30' cable will reach by going up thru the wall on one side, across in the attic and down thru the wall on the...

I'm wanting to hook my TV up as a monitor to my computer and I thought I'd ask the experts before I get started to see if my plan will work. I am sick and tired of commercials and had the thought of running a VGA cable from my computer to my TV (LG 26LG30-UD) and watching shows on hulu or...

Thanks Michael. Any thoughts on the cable that I'm using?

I'm guessing that no one has any suggestions based on the responses. I'm not sure what is meant by the "handshake" problem but the picture is very clear. I'm just looking for any suggestions on the color settings, the color tone, Auto Motion Plus setting, Contrast, Brightness, Sharpness...

Anyone have recommendations on the best settings for the Samsung5271F? Got a PS3 and can't seem to get the Blu-Ray's to look just right. Also, is there a way to use the TV speakers as the center speaker as a feed from my receiver? I have digital optical from the PS3 to my JVC RX-8000V and...

I'm just getting started trying to save my VHS tapes and my 8mm tapes to either DVD or CD. I have a borrowed Dazzle unit that is relatively old. All I can find on the unit is Dazzle Digital Video Creator USB. It came with MovieStar software. I also have DVD MovieFactory 3 which I had some...

Thanks Cees, I'll give that a shot. Brad

Thanks Jeff. That got it. I really appreciate the help. I have learned a lot in this brief exercise. It seems that the quality of surround goes from Dolby Pro-Logic (good) to Dolby Digital (better) to DTS (best). I was able to get sound with DD but not DTS. I didn't see where to go to...

Jeff, thanks for the guidance. that solved the problem of not getting sound. However, i'm not convince that my settings are all correct. My optical cable is connected to Digital 2 and my Optical Digital In (via "Multi-Jog" knob) is now set to "2DVD". The Input Mode (foun on pages 16 and 17...

Thanks for the quick reply. I looked at the book on the receiver again and the receiver is set up for digital coaxial connection from dvd or for digital optical cable from dvd. (I was wrong about it being plugged into the cd slot which is just below it but the labeling is a bit confusing)...

It's been a while since I posted but I have a new problem. I had to disconnect everything to change cabinets and now I can't seem to get my dvd sound right. I have the digital optical cable coming out of my dvd player into the back of my amp but i'm not sure it's right. (not real sure it...

Seth, thanks for the response. That's exactly what I did. Oh well, live and learn.... If I understand what you're describing about hooking them up in series..... + from amp goes to + on speaker one; - from amp goes to - on speaker two; - on speaker one goes to + on speaker two Is this...

I have been wanting to add a center speaker to my surround sound and started thinking about the speakers that are already in my tv which I apparently can't use through settings since they have to be set to "off". However, I went into my set this weekend and disconnected the wires that...

Tim/Wayne, Thanks for the replies. My connections are similar to what you describe (Wayne) but I'll have to get behind the TV and make sure. As far as it being circular, it is actually hooked up as you describe in your suggestion: Quote from you: "The best connection scheme is to split...

The surround sound works with DVD's perfectly based on the settings recommended. Now my problem is I don't get any output from the rear speakers when I'm watching regular TV (Cable). I've tried several settings changes on my amp assuming that is the problem but can't get to sound right...

Adam, that worked. This forum rocks. Thanks!

[font=Verdana][size=2]Adam, Thanks for the response. I tried the set up you suggested but couldn't get the sound through the amp. I ran audio out from the var/fix from the back of the tv to the "tv sound/dbs" audio in on the back of the amp (which is where the book says to come into). My...

I looked through the posts but don't see the answer to my specific question. My set up is: JVC amp RX-8000 Panasonic DVD RP56 Sony 51" widescreen - KP51WS500 Hitachi VCR F382A Polk Audio front speakers, Bose Rear No sub, no center (yet) Being only somewhat knowledgeable on hooking...
