Home Theater

Hey, everyone! Okay, I have a funny question. My girlfriend and I recently moved into a new apartment and I set up our entertainment center in the corner of the living room. However, when I set up our surround sound, I ran the speaker wire under the carpet--but the speaker mounts on the wall, so there's a single speaker wire climing up the wall to the speaker!

Does anyone have any advice on how I can mask this, or a product that covers wire that climb walls? I can't go in the attic, as the apartment doesn't have one, and I can't run the cable outside... because that's retarded. It's speaker wire, not coax. Anyone have advice? And I'm NOT going to use masking tape, that's ghetto. For sheez.

Also, I tried going to Best Buy and Home Depot for some sort of wire cover, but they don't have any. They have that weird wire ORGANIZER thing that ties multiple wires together, but that's not what I'm looking for. HELP MEH, PLZ?!? :)

I need recommendations for a Surround Sound Home Theater Speaker System. I need something that would sound great with all my components (dvd player, CD player, Receiver, TV, Satellite).

Anybody have any ideas/ experience with building/ buying protective cases that would enable INDOOR stereo speakers to be used OUTDOORS? We live in Southern California, so the weather is pretty mild.

Ok I have a bunch of old movies I purchased in VHS format. I would like to copy them to DVD. Can I do that with a DVD recorder / VHS player combo, or should I buy separate units?

I think it's unfair that I'd have to buy these movies again, provided I can even find them on DVD.

Thanks.

Do you use an HDMI to DVI cable or HDMI to HDMI cable?

I want to hook an HDMI DVD player directly into my HD TV for the video feed, but I need to use an audio coaxial cable in my receiver for surround sound (my receiver doesn't have HDMI inputs). Will this work or do you have to use HDMI for both audio/video?

How does the built-in Freeview digital tuner compare to stand-alone digital tuners? When making a recording to DVD is there a finalizing period when 'stop' is pressed, and if so how long is it?

I'm in a quandry whether to go for one with a digital tuner and/or hard drive or not. Hard drive models are much more expensive, is it really worth it for every-day recordings?

I recently purchased a wide format 20.1 inch LCD monitor. It has D-sub analog and DVI inputs but does not have an S-video input. I would like to hook it up to my home theater receiver wich has S-video, YPbPr and composite outputs. Is there an easy way to make the monitor work with either the S-video or the YPbPr outputs?
I certainly don't want to use the composite video output because of its poor quality. Im willing to spend some time and effort if the solution is not so complicated. But I can always return it, or use it as another computer monitor. Any comments our solutions?

I live in Spain and finally had to set my pc DVD player to only one zone due to the built-in but unecessary limitation. I can only watch the DVDs I buy on internet from USA and nothing for Europe. I dont want to own two players so I simply won't buy or rent DVDs. I think more people should boycott the greedy DVD business. What do you think?

I have a long cable run that goes through the ceiling from my component switchbox to my video projector. I've noticed that if I pause the image and stand closer to the screen, I can see a lot of video snow in areas of solid color. This static in the image is ever-changing so its motion is degrading my image a bit. The 2.5" x 1.5' pipe that suspends my projector has both the video and the power cable running through it. Is this the culprit or the long cable run? If it's the cable, how can I clean up the image? Changing to DVI isn't practical for me because I can't afford a DVI switching receiver and my component video PS2 output can't be converted cheaply. Would three cheap rca jack video amplifiers in the ceiling beef up the signal? Can you amplify a signal too much and damage a projector? Any anwers to the above are greatly appreciated. Thanks.

DVI is a pain for most users where HDMI is much simpler. I found a place where you can learn more about the features and benefits of the two here: http://www.calrad.com/calrad/index2.htm

Go to pages 94 and 95 to learn more about the two. DVI has way too many complexities and is not for the beginner.

'Nuff said?

does anyone have any experience with dvd repair kits? i have a dvd that only half of it works. could it just be scratches? i tried to rip the files and burn a backup but i ran into the same problem--only half of it worked (the same half as before).
i need to know if the dvd repair kits like the one in the link really work. and if scratches on a dvd would effect the ripping and burning of the files. would the scratch corrupt the data in the copy just like in the original?
thanks so much for any help. cb
