I have one output jack but I would love to have something like a splitter so that all the band members can listen with headphones.

I have a cable box which only has AV/RCA out, S-Video Out, and a coaxial out. However, I recently purchased a HDTV which has VGA (15 Pin) inputs, and HDMI inputs but no AV (well it has place for Audio AV input, but not Video). Is there anyway I can perhaps go from AV/RCA out to VGA In, or S-Video out to VGA in? I know that its nearly impossible to go from those to HDMI, since its analog to digital. But would the other two options be possible? If so what should I use? And changing my cable box is out of the question, so dont suggest that.

I want to see if its worth buying a PS3 or an HD DVD player. If a Blu-ray disc player can read HD DVD, then choice is simple PS3 if not then, I'd rather go with what ever is cheaper.

Hi my 2 co-workers friends they own a PS3 & they say that the Blu-ray on the PS3, that the picture movie they look like if your watching a regular DVD but with sharper picture? And it's better to buy a blu-ray player instead the PS3? The both have 300,Casino Royal, & The prestige? Is that true.

PS And yes they do have HDTV & with 1080i.

My main area of intrest is taking action shots and sports photos. Can anyone help or give me some suggestions to what I should be looking at? I'm planning to buy, but I don't have an unlimited amount of funds, if you know what I mean. As a matter of fact, I'm kind of strapped. Any suggestions on the best deal with greatest performance?

I stumbled upon this news article through google and it looked like something worth mentioning. Especially since the 360 vs. PS3 war is evidently timeless :
Heavenly Sword has 10GB of sound data alone

What's that about Blu-ray discs not being needed? According to Develop Magazine, Heavenly Sword has over 10 GB of sound FX, with three and a half hours of music, 4500 different lines of dialogue, and an hour and a half of cut scenes recorded in eleven (!) different languages. This means that without even counting the textures, art, models or anything else, the game couldn't fit on a normal DVD. It also means we're in for a hell of an aural treat when the game comes out next month.

Tom Covin, the audio lead for Ninja Theory, explains why they've put so much time and effort into their music and sound effects, "For me, sound is very 'immediate' to the player. Music has a well-established cultural language; sound is much less clearly delineated – but you can get straight to someone's emotional responses with it – there's little time for the brain to analyse. Sound is key in making this awesome weapon – the Heavenly Sword – come to life so you can sense its brooding power and almost hear it feeding off each kill."

The Develop article delves in deep into the sound theory and technology that was used in the development of Heavenly Sword and is a great read for those interested in some of the behind-the-scene machinations of one of the PS3's most anticipated titles. If only September would come a little quicker ...

May the best arguement win ;-)

I am a betta breeder. A big part of the success of my hobby business is to be able to take clear pictures of my small fish. As of now, my photography is sub-par, so the fish aren't selling well. It's time for an upgrade!

I am looking for a camera that has the capabilities to take CLEAR, macro pictures of MOVING fish that are about 1 inch long. I am assuming that because of that, the camera needs a fast shutter speed so that the fish don't show up as a colored blur in the photos. I want to stay in the $400-$500 range, and I am not sure that I want to get into SLRs, just because of the money issue.

Can anyone find me a good camera!?!?!

Thank you!

I'm currently trying to view a convenience store surveillance tape, in order to catch sight of a fight that broke out recently. Because of the four-screen setup, it is difficult to see much of anything on a regular VCR, for the screens are combined poorly, unless I watch screen-for-screen with the pause button. This process is verrrrry lengthy. Is there any way I can set up my VCR/TV to separate the tape into its original four-screens?

Is the tape completely shot or do I have a chance of salvaging it? The film went all the way into the actual reels.

I am also wondering if I should get another estimate, or is it possible to order a part and repair it myself? I've done that with an appliance & saved a bunch of bucks. Sure do hate throwing it away.

Hello everyone

I was wondering if HD equipement (in this case, the Playstation 3) can output audio as well through the HDMI cable.

I am asking this because I wish to use the HDMI cable to output via high definition to the TV.

So just by switching the TV into "DVI" mode, would I be able to get both audio and video?

If not, how exactly would you get audio?

For example, using component cables gives you 3 video plugs and 2 audio plugs (the red and white one). You can get both video and audio through the TV.

In the case of a HDMI cable, is is just the one plug.

Anyone know?

Thank you.

I don't know what happened, but one minute my phone is working fine, the next minute the screen i blank. I didn't drop it or bang it at all. I can still receive calls but the screen is totally blank. Anyone know what I can do? I didn't get the cell phone from a store and I'm afraid if I take it to a cingular store they're gonna charge me like crazy.

I think i lost my phone, so i just wanted to get a really cheep replacement phone. All the phones i see that are cheep, are only cheep if you buy a service plan, but i already have a service plan. I just want one really cheep to get my through the next couple months. I dont really need a $100 phone. I just want a cheep phone that i dont have to worry about and i can just go buy for under $30 or so.
