In briefly, i maybe know the difference, but im lacking of the skill of it, when should i use the different metering. I know there is certain situation to vary the usage of metering. But when the time comes, ive went confuse again. Any experts help...?

Ok, I have a decent home theater system, it is a Yamaha yht 370, I like it a lot. It is a 5.1 with a 100 watt passive sub that sounds very good. I was thinking about adding a powered sub I saw at best buy. It is a yamaha 100 watt, 10 inch powered sub and looks like it was made for this setup. But I am wondering since they are both 100 watts, if I will notice that much difference?

So can anyone tell me if it will make a big difference in listening. Also what if I used both subs? What would that be like? One in front and one in back by the surrounds? Thanks.

Toshiba sells the stand alone HD-DVD player for some $250. I was surprised to find that no company sells the HD DVD drive for PC. I know you can "hack" X-box360, but general user doesn't want to do it.

I want to buy a new camera and I am so confused! What is a SLR or a DSLR? I don't know if I really want a camera with a removable lens...I am not a pro or anything...photography is a hobby of mine and I just want to get a better camera than the one I have now (Canon A530).

Hi, I have a Casio EX-Z1000 digital camera and whenever I want to take a twilight natural it doesnt come out in the way I see, it comes rather reddish and really dark-darker that you can see. There is a night filming option, which option if I use, the picture comes jerked off ie., the antishake doesnt work at all. Is this the common problem with every digital camera (or) it is that I dont know to use it? (or) is there any other digital camera that take good night pictures?

Also which is the best digital camera which offers best long distant zoom and provides for further enhancements?

the ultimate prank. i know there are devices that you plug into your mp3 player and you can set it to a certain station. Me and a buddy used to hijack the radio in art class and play the "peanut butter jelly" song. but i want something that takes over all the radio waves in a 50-100 foot radius. this way i can take over FM radios on the beach or in malls. hahha

Will a rgb tube for a magnavox 46 inch rear projection tv fit a sony 53 inch rear projection? They look the same and the magnavox is compatible with several other brands.

I was wondering if anyone has heard about which way BOSE is going to go in the HD Format. I have chosen to back blu-ray which I believe is the better technology and will eventually be the clear winner. I have a BOSE 3-2-1 system in my bedroom. I am looking to get a second blu-ray player nearer to the holiday season and use it with the 3-2-1. But, if I knew BOSE might be moving towards blu-ray, maybe I might wait for a new blu-ray version of the 3-2-1 model.
Just wondering..

Someone in New Zealand, when you live in the USA?
I can't figure it out.
My best friend lives in New Zealand, but we can't figure out how to call each other because of the connection code thingy.
I have their number, and YES I do have MSN messenger.

My Dish Network receiver 625 has recently freaked out. I only use one TV and like it set to Single mode, but somehow it is now set to Dual mode. How do I set it back to Single mode?

Please advise

Do you hang up and re-dial or hold on the line (perhaps their phone system takes the next call in line)
