I've had this song in my head all morning. I know it's from a movie, but I can't place it for the life of me. Also, I might not have the details of the scene quite right either, but here goes: The scene takes place in a large room or Beer Hall during the Nazi's rise to power. A couple of...

For those that have done any recording in their lives, you will know what I mean when I say the audio is "burnt". It's a slang term used when the input level of a recording is set too high, thus you get a little "break-up" of the audio in the upper frequencies on playback. I have three DVD TV...

I have a manual retractable Stewart Screen. If you look at my Theater pics, you will see that it's currently mounted from the ceiling. For acoustical reasons, I'm considering changing the setup in the room. One of the more favorable positions would put the screen on the wall, above the double...

I finally got a digital camera, and took a few pictures. I still have some things to do, lighting, plants, etc. But, this is the basic layout. I didn't have the space for a dedicated theater, so I had to convert the living area. http://home.mindspring.com/~rutgar/index.html - Rutgar

Has anyone else noticed that the dialog audio breaks up briefly on occasion? Almost like a "static electricity" sound? It doesn't happen very often. But, it has shown up all through the entire set here and there. I thought at first, I had something wrong in my system, but I can replay the scene...

I just bought one of the new Velodyne Digital Drive-18's. I also have two of Velodynes olders subs, which are the ULD-15's. The Uld's, each have a separate amp, which I have housed in my built-in audio rack. I'm planning on incorporating the DD-18 with the two ULD-15's, giving me three...

I just bought a Middle Atlantic Rack, and plan on doing a "built-in" install with it. I have three older McIntosh amplifiers that weigh about 140 pounds each. They are rack mountable from the factory, but the only thing that will be holding them in the Rack, is the front face plate and screws (8...

I need to run cables and wires to two outside walls. Going through the wall is impossible, so I thought I would just drop conduit down the outside and go back in to the house from outside. I need a one inch, plus hole. Is there a special bit for drilling a large hole through brick? Or will I...

I need to run some long lengths of component video cable through walls. I can get some RCA connectors that have F-connectors on the inside of the wall plate. Aren't component video cables 75 ohms? And if so, would there be a problem using 75 ohm cable for the actual in-wall runs, to wall plates...

I just bought a Sanyo PLV-Z2 LCD projector. When I get ready to set it up, is better to position the projector so that the minimum zoom is being used (further away from the screen), or where the maximum zoom is being used (closer to the screen). Or, in the middle somewhere? Or, does it not make...

I'm curious to know what everyone's opinion is on ceiling color. I'm getting a LCD front projector, and I'm planning on painting my room Burgandy above the chair rail, and green below. Should I also paint the ceiling Burgandy? Or, can I get away with it being left white (it's current color)...

I'm getting a new LCD front projector, and I've heard that they sometimes come with bad or dead pixels. What I need to know is; What do you look for to check for bad pixels? Do you run any special type of video, or is there a test mode built into the projector? Any info would be helpful...

I need to use the same DVD player to feed my RPTV and my FPTV. Will a quality "Y" cable out of the back of the DVD player work? If not, what's the alternative? Thanks. - Rutgar
