I recently sent my 1000w amplifier for servicing and got a t-loaned 400w amplifier with the original 1000w system's speakers to cover my inconvenience. Here my doubt, both sound rather similar in bass and quality, does that means the speakers' power output is the one that manufacturer said is the power output of the system? hmm rather funny..

I bought my camera about 2 months ago, until recently, I turned it on (the batteries were fully charged) the screen had a very blurry picture on it, it stayed on for about a second, before beeping three times and turning off, without closing the lense. Do I need a new camera, or can I fix it?

When in the record mode it stops and jumps into "loading" then resumes recording. Does it need cleaning or do I need to use a new dvd. I use DVD-RW discs but don't know how many times they can be used.

Bought a Toshiba HDTV in 2003 along with a warranty. Immediately I noticed a discoloration expanding from the corner. I called about a month later and had a tv tech guy visit. He took the screen off the (2 pieces) and he noticed a film build up that was spreading. Anyway he said it would $400 to replace. BESTBUY denied it because they said I caused it. I tried to obtain a pro-rated refund, but, they denied that too since I did not have the little BESTBUY folder they put the receipts in. Never mind that I had the receipt proving the purchase of the extended warranty. I've logged complaints with the Ohio Attorney General and BBB and all I got was a coupon. have not shopped at BESTBUY in over 4 years. the BEST scam warranty you can BUY.

Is it true that you can use any cell phone (not associated with your carrier) by inserting your original SIM card from your carrier?
For example, using an AT&T phone with a T-Mobile SIM card...

The P1 has been on the market for some time now and when I compare it to the N95 or iPhone, the P1 is cheaper. iPhone is out for me, as there is no 3G. So, do I go for N95 with 5 MP camera or P1 with 3.2MP camera but touch screen?

I'm looking to buy a phone with WiFi capabilities. There are some with both 802.11b/802.11g and some with only one, typically only 802.11b. If that's the case, does it make the phone with only 802.11b any less accessible to WiFi hotspots? And is one faster than the other? Thanks!!!

I have a Sylvania 20 inch television. I also have a Sylvania VCR-DVD combo. Both have been in storage for 18 months and I can't remember exactly how they hook up. I have the red and white plugs plugged in like the manual shows and also have my S-cable plugged in. The TV turns on and works and the DVD player turns on and works, however I can't get the tv to show my dvds. I lost my tv remote and recently ordered another one. I think I may need the tv remote to switch into the mode to view the dvds. Can anyone tell me any differently or help me rig this up so I can watch movies?

Thanks for your help!

I recently purchased Logitech X-230 speakers, which contain 2 speakers and 1 subwoofer. Is it okay to place the subwoofer on a carpet? Will a carpet diminish the sound quality? What is the ideal surface for a subwoofer?

Hello Everyone. I bought a DVD recorder today, hoping to put some home videos onto DVD. Anyways, I read S-Video will carry a better video quality. I have a DVD/VCR combo that has a S-VIDEO output, but when I plug it in it only broadcasts the DVD. Yet the yellow and white cords show the video playing... Can S-Video work with VHS?

Another issue, its black and white. I read somewhere:

"The mini-DIN pins, being weak, sometimes bend. This can result in the loss of color, or other corruption (or loss) in the signal. A bent pin can be forced back into shape, but this carries the risk of further damage, or even the pin breaking off."

Is that true? Please help me with both questions

I have Directv HD. I have ONE channel that gives me a problem. When I tune into the local NBC (HD) program I get these small white flickering lights that blink horizontally above my picture. When I turn the channel to my local NBC (non-HD) they disappear...and they are not there on any other channels. Why would I have these small, white flickering lights (almost look like inconsistent dashes) across the top of my picture on one channel only? Also, the local NBC (HD) picture does not take up all of my 50" picture tube. I know this is common. There are bars on each side. The white lights are only the length of the picture itself, not across the top of the side bars.
