    Need advice on 16 gauge plugs

    I'm interested in some banana plugs for my rear speaker connections. I use Monster flat wire (16 gauge). I've picked up a few different plugs at Frys but they never seem big enough to fit my thicker 16 gauge wire. ?? I'm a newbie with plugs so can somebody please tell me the brand/type of plug...

    Need advice for HD upgrade (Dish or Dtv)

    I have DirecTV (and like it). I'm about to upgrade to HD. I have a chance to bundle services (phone, internet, satellite) into one package to save money and doing that means I switch to DISH. I'm open to that, but frankly, I don't think I'll save a whole lot of dough (with an HD package). I'm...

    Is Toshiba A2 Region Free for Standard DVD too?

    I'd appreciate some feedback about this. I know my Toshiba A2 HD-DVD player is region free for HD-DVD's but is it also region free for standard DVD's? I'd like to get some region 2 DVD's so I'm wondering if they will play in my A2. Thanks.

    Audio Sync Delay on Bionic Woman in HD!

    Every time I watch Bionic Woman (in high def) there's about a half second delay in the audio so the voices don't quite sync up to the mouths of the actors, or the sound effects to action on screen. Has anyone else noticed this?!? I'm using an indoor antenna to receive my HD signal and I watch my...

    Problem with my Denon 1804 - Please Help!

    Just got a new Denon 1804 and made the major change over of cables from my previous Denon 3200. I was even able to do a test tone and hear all five speakers (and sub) sound off. After playing around with it for awhile though I've encountered a repeating problem that's driving me nuts now...

    What's your viewing distance w/ HDTV?

    How far is your viewing distance from the screen? I'd like to get the 57" Hitachi SWX but I may wish to settle for something smaller like the 51" or a 53" say. I usually sit in a chair that's 10'(slight angle) from my current Sony analog 41" RPTV. On the couch though (straight away) when I watch...

    Built in HDTV tuner - what's the real benefit??

    I'm trying to decide on a Hitachi 57" Hi-Def RPTV. One has a built in tuner (much more costly) and the other doesn't. I will be running the Sony DirecTV HDTV version receiver through it. Now what I originally thought was having the built in tuner though would negate having to purchase and hang a...

    HDTV screens with built in tuners here yet?

    I'm about to embark on the exciting journey of choosing an HDTV screen. I've narrowed the field to a 55-57" size and either Hitachi or Sony, based on viewing experience and various reviews online. Definitely want a WIDE one too. Here's the thing though. I understand that the government voted to...

    X-BOX Digital Sound Possibilities Question

    Hey guys, I'm about to purchase an X-Box. Naturally, I've researched a ton of posts like yours to see what people are saying. When it comes to technology, I like to buy things that I can grow into. I'm also a sucker for the best graphics so I changed my plan to get a PS2 and go with an X-Box...
