I was thinking of getting an infinity entra center two from ebay, but I noticed several other infinity centers around the same price. This got me thinking, hey if its...

    Should this be allowed in High School?

    I wonder how much of a distraction this really was. When I went to school, it was agianst the rules to talk in class, meaning hold a personal conversation; participating in a question / answer forum was ok. After several warnings, it became clear that you were not going to let the teacher...

    is the "s-word" allowed on tv now?

    I swear that recently I have been seeing ads on television regarding the V-Chip, and where you can find information about it online. I will have to keep an eye out for when and where these ads are run and where the information is. I think it was during the NASCAR races a few weekends ago. Maybe...

    Car Audio VS Home Audio

    I did just that, but in my defense, I live in a town of pop. 2000 or so. I didn't expect it to happen in the parking lot of the grocery store where I worked, during business hours. Although it was easy to find out who stole the system, tracking it down has been a little more difficult. If the...

    Audio connection from DVD to Receiver

    Thanks a lot!! The salespeople at Best buy always try to get you to use not only the brand that costs the most, but the model that costs the most, and I think that's B.S. I bought a DVD player there once for about $100 and the salesman told me I needed to buy component video cables that cost the...

    Covers of Beatles' songs U favour over the original

    This isn't a Beatles song, but the "Imagine" cover done by A Perfect Circle is really good. More haunting and dramatic than the original.

    Car Audio VS Home Audio

    I had a system in my car for about 8 mos. because apparently someone thought that it would sound better in their car. :angry: The system cost about $1500 in a car worth only about $1400-2300. Insurance gave me about $1000, even though I had receipts for all of the equipment, as well as the work...

    Audio connection from DVD to Receiver

    My dvd player can play SACD, DVD-Audio, and regular DVDs. Do the digital outputs handle all the audio? Or do I need to hook up the 5.1 channel outputs for SACDs and/or DVDs? Which digital audio connection has better quality, digital coax or optical digital? Any other info would be...

    Let's talk the friend out of the Bose speaker system.....

    I can't remember where I read this, but someone wrote a review on the Bose system that said they were watching a movie with it and the movie had a lot of dialog. The dialog was difficult to hear because there is no center channel. The sound coming from the tv speakers sounded better. Also...

    Thanks! My current tv doesn't have doesn't have component inputs, but neither does the AVR 5. That's why when I upgrade to the AVR 335, I was planning on upgrading my tv as well. I was looking for a widescreen model, possibly the JVC AV30W475, a 30 inch on sale for about $450. I bought an...

I was told that with the Terk LF-30S and Remote Extender, I should be able to do what I want, I'll just run the component monitor out to my living room tv, the RCA monitor out to the LF-30S, along with the multi-room...
