    Risers I built wrong 10 years ago, help?

    10 years ago I built two risers that were totally sealed inside, now covered with rubber underlay and carpet glued to the chipboard flooring. I never filled them with insulation and didn’t add any ports, back then I didn’t know this was standard practice. I have 4x 18" ported PSA subs up front...

    Why so few trailers no on Bluray discs?

    Im pretty disapointed these days that there are so few trailers on any of the classic bluray titles. They maybe of little interest to few but to me they are very important from a historical aspect. Trailers back then were very different in their style of advertising compared to modern day films...

    HDMI underscan problem

    I have a problem as my projector wont allow any form of overscan on HDMI 720p or 1080i. (see my post Oct 29) I believe this is normal am I right or wrong? It would probably be ok on a TV as they have an overscan built in, but I only wish to use this for projection. The overscan is built into...

    HDMI / DVI aspect ratios?

    I hope someone can answer my question when using 720 or 1080 on hdmi or dvi. I have now tried two projectors and three players and noticed none of them fit the boarders of the 16.9 black masking when on hdmi or dvi. Everything is perfect to the black masking on SAT TV on s video and also...
