What about any budget model programable remotes with learning ability. Something around $50 to $100. Anyone have any feedback on the RadioShack Kameleon All-for-One remote control?

I have a very simple HT setup which I have installed over the last few days. Now I am getting greif from the Domestic Goddess on how to simply control it all and not have to use all the different controllers. The new receiver is a Pioneer 712 and has the ability to control other devices. The...

Thanks - all clear now.

Chuck (and all) thanks for all the good input, I just went to the local cable/parts supplier and he made me a 10 meter RCA-RCA cable with RJ6 COAX. Total cost about US$20 so it was quite cheap. I saw the s-video to RCA converters like on your picture there but an earlier post said that...

Wife has overruled buying any more equipment :frowning: So I have to make the cable, local suppliers don't have any long pre-made cables. Also the only connectors I can find will only fit over RJ59 cable not RJ6. Will this be OK over about 10 meters? Thanks

Hi, I set up my new HT last night and as I unpacked all the packaging realised that I had no cable to connect my sub to the receiver :frowning: As an interim measure (because i *had* to get it working last night and watch a movie) I used a composit video RCA-RCA cable (this is thicker...

Yeah but if I buy a new VCR it will work, but I still need a composit video connection to the projector if I want to plug in a PS2 or XBOX etc. So I think a composit connection from the receiver to the projector is worthwhile. Any comments on the type of cable needed to make this?

Thanks for clearing that up, guess I need at least one more cable :frowning: As the cable length is about 10 meters the cost of pre-made cables is expensive, is this the sort of cable I can make myself? If so what type of COAX should I use and is it the same for both component and...

Forgive me for posting this twice but I think I stuck it in the wrong forum the first time:b Newbie alert! Help me please, I have a complete new system and I am trying to get it set up. I have ONLY a S-Video cable from my receiver to my projector. I have both S-Video (DVD) and...

Thank you - installation starts tonight!

Hook up the turntable through the phono amp to your PC sound card, capture the songs you want and burn them to CD/DVD. You can put your whole record collection onto one DVD. Or better still copy them all to the DVD and then return the turntable and phono amp to the store for a credit...

Great. So I have the center mounted a foot from the ceiling and the fronts mounted at head hight either side of the screen, the rears mounted high about a foot from the ceiling and just behind the sitting position and the sub on the right hand side. Last questions I promise:) Q1. As...

Many thanks. Can the centre be mounted high and point down rather than be low and point up? Also if the rears are behind should they face each other or face the screen?

Can anyone comment or suggest improvements to my speaker placement? I have not installed my system other than the projector so far. It all arrives tonight! I have a tricky speaker placement. Cathedral ceilings with exposed wooden beams. The ceiling is 9' on the right speaker placement and...

Thanks Phil, very useful guide.

Thanks for the info. As I have reached the limit of the Financial Controllers budget (yes dear!) I will put these speakers in, they will be 1000% better than a standard TV anyway! What does the 6th speaker do in a 6.1 setup? Andrew

Michael, As a recent starter to this forum please take my answers with a grain of salt;) I have watched DVD's in 16:9 on the projector and also TV on 4:3 both look excellent. The menu on the projector states: "When in YPBPR, Video and S-Video modes, users have two options for the...

oh no! I just typed a 50 line response to this post and it got cut by the forum software.:angry: Mike, I am in Melbourne and have just bought a new setup from Harvey Norman. This is my first HT and I chose the LG projector model RD-JT30. It has 1400 lumins and a contrast ratio of...

I just bought and installed on a ceiling mount (home made and proud of it!) a LG RD-JT30 DLP Projector. It is great! 1400 lumins with great contrast. Yes the blacks could be blacker but with a screen size up to 220" you have to have some compromises. Easy to mount as it is only 3lbs and 2"...

Hi, I am a newbie to this forum and also to Home Theatre. I have just ordered a complete new setup to go into my lounge room. The room is approx 4 metres wide and 8 metres deep. I am going to be using a Pioneer amp with 100W output, Sony DVD and a LG DLP Projector (mounted on the ceiling)...
