The little board with the black buttons at the top, I mean.

I'm setting up a raspberry pi system soon...I hope. I have a question. I would be getting an amp to run the speakers. The amp I'm looking at has a 3.5m input plug. Which I would use to run a wire from the LCD controller board on the arcade 1up I'd be using. The amp uses bare speaker wire...

I'm wanting to get the UK version of the Superman Anthology set to replace my old, non working dvd set. I know that the movies will play just ine, the set being region free, but I'm worried about the bonus features. Someone told me that HD movies will work just fine, but that if the bonus...

I just noticed something last night. I was attempting to watch Terminator 2, which has DTS sound. Fine. I like it. But I noticed that my receiver was showing Dolby Digital on the display. I checked another movie, Gremlins 2, and this time, the receiver showed DTS. I checked ANOTHER movie...

I'm trying to make a video widescreen, but I have no idea what to do. I have tried changing it in VLC and then saving a new version of the movie, but the resulting video is still squished. I've tried online services, but they don't work, either. The video is widescreen, squished into 4:3...I'm...

I was just wondering if anyone knew why the ipad version of DVD Profiler was limited to 50 titles. I know the pc version, which I use, is limited to HQ scans for 50 titles, but you're still able to ad as many titles as you want....which I do. Why isn't the ipad version the same way ?

A bit of a weird issue I discovered last night. I was hooking my vcr back up to test out some tapes, and came across something weird. At first, I thought there wasn't any sound, but it was just that I had to turn up the volume...a lot. This is where the issue came in. The sound seemed to be...

I have yet to get a subwoofer for my receiver and have a question. How do I set the crossovers ? There's an lpf for lfe that is set to 120hz...but what do I set the speakers to ? What do I set the speaker crossovers to get the most bass/low frequency out of them ?

Another question with my Denon receiver. I can put channels into the FM preset memory. But how in the world do you REMOVE channels from memory ? I looked in the manual, but it doesn't say anything about it.

I just got the DENON AVR-S530BT and it's really great. Movies sound amazing and even just the fm radio sounds a lot better than I've ever heard it. Just one thing, though. I find it really odd that there isn't any night mode compression available for the multi channel stereo mode, which is what...

I just got a Denon AVR-S530BT receiver. It says 140w. What does this mean exactly ? I picked this receiver because the speakers I have say they're 6 ohm and this receiver says it can run them. But the speakers say 120w. The receiver says, like I said, 140w. Will my speakers work with this receiver ?

I'm getting a subwoofer in a little while and will be using speakers that I already have. The subwoofer I have is a passive one with only a "fork" wire, one purple and one black. I know that I will have to use some sort of amp to run the rca out from the receiver to the amp and plug the sub into...

I just got some blu-rays that won't play on any of the players in my house. The extras and everything BUT the movie will play, but when I hit play, the screen goes black and just plays the sound from the menu. I tried my dad's player, but the same thing happened, though this time, the screen...

My six year old receiver just crapped out on me. No sound. First, after turning it on, it would take a minute or two then it would have sound. Got tired of this, so I left it on. Then, the sound stopped. Sound came back a few hours later. Now, there's no sound at all. If I'm unable to repair...

I've been noticing something odd. When I have my PS3 set to 1080p, every so often, the signal gets lost sort of. What happens is that I'll start my PS3 with it set to 1080p. A few seconds or a few minutes into a game, or even just sitting on the menu, my tv will flick off, giving me the window...

I just got a dvd set with the strangest packaging that I've ever seen. I just bought the complete series of Heathcliff. Great show. Anyway....the packaging is so WEIRD. First, and most horribly, the discs are slid into cardboard sleeves. Can't stand that. Second, the sleeves with the discs all...

Just yesterday, I was in Walmart. Wow, the selection of dvds and blu-rays was severely lacking. Last year at this same time, there were 5 or so double sided racks of dvds and blu-rays along with several 5 dollar bins. But yesterday, there were only two double sided racks, each with endcaps, a 5...

I'm sure that you'll just say it's down to personal preference, but at what level should the back channels be when compared to the front channels ? I'm pretty happy with my center and left and right channels, but have the back channels set WAY softer than the front. Should the back channels be...

I used to love cdcovers.cc, but the site doesn't exist any more. Is there any place, preferably free, that is similar and has HQ dvd covers ?

I was looking at the GI JOE Complete first series set and get to wondering. The listing said that it has a disc of bonuses. Primarily of interest to me are the PSAs. But I've read that it doesn't have all the discs of the GI JOE complete series set and is missing the bonus disc. Which is it ?

Have you ever bought a dvd or dvd set after reading bad reviews of the packaging, but when you got the set, the packaging was a lot better than the reviews said ? For my birthday on Sunday, I got the Robotech Complete Set. All the reviews I read said that a lot of the discs were stacked in a...

Since it was the anniversary of Tron, I decided to watch it. But the 5.1 mix doesn't sound right. Maybe it's not supposed to be surround ? I tried watching in All Channel Stereo, and it sounded much better. What audio did Tron have when it came out in 1982 ? I've read Dolby Stereo, but what is...

I just got the first two volumes of the Dick Van Dyke Show on blu-ray. One of the cases is slightly damaged so, I'd like to get a replacement. I have a hard time judging case sizes, though. The cases seem to be a bit thicker than normal. Maybe about 15mm...but I'm not sure. Does anyone here know...

I was just watching Full House. It was the episode where Stephanie cuts Jessie's hair. He then gets in an accident and breaks both of his arms. After all this time, the thought hits me. Which of the group do you think got the priviledge of "helping" Jessie in the bathroom ?

I just got the 15th anniversary blu-ray of Clerks,and got to thinking. Is there a director or actor or a series of movies where you just can't stand any of them except for one ? Clerks is the only movie of Kevin Smith's that I like. Mallrats in particular, I don't like. It never made any sense...

I hope this is the right place to put this. If you're really anal about keeping track of your collection, let's say you have a list of all your movies in the order in which you get them. And let's say that a movie you got a few years ago needs replacing. Would you keep the same old listing from...

The back of my tv has an HDMI IN and HDMI IN (DVI) inputs. Would my flickering issues be due to using one or the other ? My receiver is connected by the HDMI IN (DVI) input. Would switching to the plain HDMI input make any difference ? I've heard that DVI can have a problem with audio....

I've posted this on another forum, but thought that it would hurt to post it here as well, just to get as much help as possible. I've been futzing around with my receiver's settings a bit lately, and have a question. My receiver, as far as I know, allows you to set the distances for the...

Every so often, while watching a movie or less often while playing a ps3 game, the signal will "flick." Sometimes, the video will keep going while the sound drops out then back in. Other times, the signal drops entirely then comes back on. My tv is 720p resolution but I've read that it can...

I'm looking at this but have a question. I've seen that some individual releases of the movies in the 100th Anniversary Spotlight Collection 80s Comedies set http://www.amazon.com/Spotlight-Collection-Breakfast-Universals-Anniversary/dp/B006TTC50Y/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top mention that they're...
