    PS3 / HDMI / Home theater CONFUSION. Any help?

    Is there any other component using any HDMI connection? I ask because it is possible that your PS3 is sharing the same HDMI slot your other component is. Example my PS3 is hooked up to my reciever as well as my cable box and they both are on HDMI-1 on my TV set. So If I want to watch TV I select...

    You got worked most likely. Could try returning it to the store Insignia Is a Best Buy brand I think. This is a very long shot and BB will most likely ask for a reciept. When the screen breaks on these things they are just not worth the cost of repair since you can get a new TV alot...

    Getting sound when using Netlix on Sony Bravia with Dongle and Receiver

    Do you mean the remote does not respond fast? Most likely it's just the the software ( User Menu, Guide,Options..etc..etc) thats slow. Time Warner/BrightHouse thier user interface is not very great and mine was very slow as well even would lock up quite a bit. Only fix for this would be the...

    hooking it up wrong????? HELP

    No problem, The system you have is a HTiB and only has 1 input which is optical. You can use the optical input on the reciever for your cablebox this way it will decode the Dolby digital surround sound. Keep in mind not all standard definition broadcasts will output Dolby almost all HD...

    What model Panasonic Reciever is it? Red,White & Yellow cables are a composite connection that uses 2ch stereo. Depending on your setup reciever? Cable box? You would need either a Optical (S/PDIF) or HDMI cable running into your reciever in order for your cable to have Dolby surround...

    Do all the EVO's lack a KB? I am with Sprint so not sure if there are other EVO's with a KB. The Samsung Epic 4g is identical to the EVO in every way but has a Keyboard and uses an Amoled screen it is 4.0 inch screen instead of the EVO's 4.3 but when I was looking at both side by side the Epic...

    3D - What's the big deal?

    My take on 3d that requires glasses is a waste. They are very close to completing 3d without glasses the new DS already uses this technology.   Persoanlly I didn't care about the 3d option but when the new TV's come that are 3d w/out glasses then my interest will peak until then... todays...

    How to wire

    @MalteseChicken Alot of Surround Systems show the icons on the front in the led display. I can have all my speakers enabled on the Wii but it's not true Dolby Digital it's simulated Dolby. Now if I play a DVD for instance that has DTS sound my reciever will tell me I am using DTS this...

    Getting sound when using Netlix on Sony Bravia with Dongle and Receiver

    From what your saying your Netflix app is built in the TV so this would require you to either play the sound from the TV speakers or run audio output to your reciever. If you have optical output on back of your TV set that will work fine and if you only have component audio out that can be...

    Noob Digital Audio and Dolby Digital Question

    You could run the optical wire from the cablebox to the reciever and this would then do Dolby Digital 5.1 if the channel/Movie supports it..mostly HD channels do but have seen some that do not. From your TV to the reciever would only be good if you were using an HDTV Antenna.   Using...

    Which current TVs can display PAL with no conversion?

    I was always under the assumption that any Television that supported 576 (288 Line) would work just fine with any PAL Movie as long as the player itself could output a PAL signal. My last HDTV Panasonic projection TV I bought here in the states supported 480i/p,576p,1080i. Was purchased in...

    Can anyone Identify what this is?

    It is some sort of Dolby Digital Box. But how is it used and what connects to it? Is it a demodulator of some sort? I sometimes buy boxes full of wires & stuff and was digging through some of them this morning and found this. Pictures aren't that great had to use my Cell camera.

    Plasma or LCD TV?

    While Plasmas do not burn in like they used to they still do burn in. Any Stagnant image from a computer desktop is not good for a Plasma TV. I was not referring to using a PC as a BR player I was referring to if you use your PC on your TV as a desktop PC Surfing the nets..regular PC use...

    How to make a steal on an HDTV.. at Home Repair explained.

    Any TV that looks like the screen is intact not cracked or broken should be something to open up and look at the capacitors. I have even posted on Craigs list to buy broken LCD televisions with good screens. You will be quite suprised how many of these get tossed for a few dollar fix.

    Plasma or LCD TV?

    LCD's TV's are producing rich colors and black levels that are very acceptable. Not exactly like Plasma but very close.   To me I always boiled it down to what you mostly use your TV for... Movies.Blurays & DVDs then Plasmas the way to go.   Multimedia: Gaming,PC connection or HTPC...

    How to make a steal on an HDTV.. at Home Repair explained.

    Yeah I been doing the capacitors repair for years. I posted on my blog awhile back how I think they should have extended warranties on the caps alone. What will really get people is when they return thier LCD Monitor or TV in for repair they replace only the caps that went bad and leave the...
