I'm planning to get a New component DVD player. Which, i assume has R,G,B, Color plugs and 2, Red and white plugs for audio?

I have a very nice Surround sound system, but it never stated it was a HD compatible. But it does have slots for the Red white audio input.

Is that all i really need for the receiver for my Surround sound?
An input from the Red and white plugs?

i have a lumix fx-8.the camera works fine.the pics come out clear.and when sufficient light falls on the display you can make out the image but since the light does not work it is difficult to take pictures.
i gave it to a shop and they told me the problem was with the ic.i had given it to sum other place and they had told me the problem was with the lcd light and that it could not be fixed.
will getting the ic changed solve the problem?

Canon IXUS 70 photo camera comes with the standard rechargeable Li-ion Canon battery type "NB-4L".

I want to buy one more so I can always have a spare charged battery when the current one needs recharge. Do you suggest buying the same as the one that came with the camera or is there a better alternative (preferably with more capacity)?

Looking to do my new home theater. Not going ALL out but want a nice setup. Price range under $5,000. Can go more if worth it ;-) Room is not small but not big. About 14x13. Looking to get a a 52" Samsung HD LCD ($2k). Want to go the selective component route due to better sound options. (such as purchase all the components separately, receiver, amp, etc. etc.) Want THX certified as well. Heard BOSE, Sony, Onkyo, Pioneer, and some others were decent. Best setup if you were going to do this. Looking for a 7.1 perhaps a 7.2, looking for a good deal of loudness, but also want it to be clear. Basically want it to be like "Oh my god, this sounds amazing!" Definitely want great sound quality at a decently loud volume. Movie theater quality. Perhaps give me your setup details if you were to do a system. Also want to integrate a HTPC (Home Theater PC) into the whole thing eventually but we can save that for later.

Thanks in advanced!

Hi, I was wondering if anybody could tell me how i can use a 50mm lens on my Nikon d40? Do I have to change the settings on my camera? Will I damage my camera if I use it in a certain mode?

I've read a lot of sites and answers where they say the 50mm lens will mount on the Nikon D40 but won't auto-focus, however, none of them say how to actually use this lens on the camera. I would greatly appreciate any advice on this!

Thanks! :)

My friend was telling me that he was getting free Wii point cards.
I wanted to know where is a real site that you can do that without actually having to pay for anything, or anything like that.
I know it must be real, because I have known this guy for so long, he is like a brother, a father, and the future me all in one.
so he wouldn't lie to me, nor would he even have a reason to...

So where is a site like the one I described, or anyone where I can get free Wii points?

I have several film cameras in good working condtion. A few are point-and-shoot, including one Nikon that takes panoramic photos. I also have a nice film SLR canon camera. The problem is, I don't use film anymore. Who would want these cameras? Would any charities be able to use them?

Many electronic keyboards have stereo outputs. I already have good musical instrument speakers, so all I need is an integrated stereo amp of between 30 and 50 RMS watts of power per channel. This is not for a huge hall, just for my home and for small meeting rooms. I can't seem to find any such amps other than used vintage stereo amps made in the 70's and 80's - and who knows how long they might last (and they're expensive to fix). Most MI amps seem to be mono and come with built-in speakers, not what I want at all.
