Home Theater

I don't have a box thingy that sat on top of my tv anymore, and I think that's how I did this before. I have a panasonic tv and ao far I can only program my tv to come on, not record without me pressing the button at the exact time.

I have a 4 channel yamaha amp hooked up, and its great. But I just found some more speakers in my basement. I want to hook these up, but all the channels are in use. I could buy a new amp, wire the new speakers to that one, and split the RCA wire from my mp3 into two to go to each amp. Is this the easiest way?

I have a 32 inch LCD TV and it seems its suffering from image persistence. I turned on my DVD player for a while and it was left in the home screen which is bright blue. One menu tab was open and I finally turned the DVD player off and put it to a TV channel. As soon as I turned to the TV channel I noticed a dark line running across the tv where the DVD menu line was running across. It's like an after image which was burned onto the LCD screen (I know LCD's don't suffer burn in). I believe it's image persistence, and i'm wondering how can I fix this? Many websites state that I should turn it off for a while or run a white screen for a while. I turned it off for about 10 hours and still the same. Has this happened to you? What should I do? Please help, thanks.

I have a home theatre scenario where I have component video and SPDIF audio delivered to a room. I'd like to be able to connect the SPDIF digital audio to the good old "stereo RCA" inputs of the TV.

To do so I need a small, cheap box that will take SPDIF digital in and produce either analog stereo or analog surround signals.

I'd think this would be easy, but can't find anything besides this, and I'm not even sure if that does it:

So... SPDIF in, left and right analog RCA cables out. Anyone know of a solution? Thanks!

I won't be buying an AV Receiver for 6-8 Months or so, but I like the Denon brand. I was previously looking at the 4308CI, but with all the added features to the 5308CI, including the HQV Processing, maybe it's worth spending some extra money? Or is there a different brand that beats Denon 5308CI? And if so, how does it beat it, or how does it come close?

I want to connect my PS3 to my Sony TV via HDMI and use the optical output from the TV to connect to my AV Receiver. The connection works but the PS3 recognizes only 2 speakers on the TV and limits the output to stereo not Dolby Digital. How can I get the HDMI to just pass the sound through the TV? I want to this so I can connect multiple HDMI sources to the TV but have only one optical cable to the receiver.

In my dorm right now absolutely everyone seems to have their sound systems at max volume. I dont know what the hell is happening but its like international "lose your hearing, get a cookie" day.

Of course I am winning, working at BestBuy has its perks (like 1000 watt speaker systems from Klispch). But still, Im standing outside posting this from my Blackberry and I think its too loud out here.

I am trying to build a hand held wireless television. I want to transmit the stream over radio Frequency at about 900MHz. Can you suggest some good IC/interface at both the transmitter and receiver end? I am looking to work with the NTSC format.

With VOD, specifically, the movies that you can purchase and download, and thus burn to a DVD, what stops people from making multiple copies and handing them out?

hello, i have been looking for a powered sub for my home theater system for ever now, i have a huge room so i know i need something with at least 250 RMS watts. I have been looking at these subs so far: Polk audio PSW505, infinity PS212, SVS PB12-ISD, JBL S120PII. I have no clue which one is the best, in chest pound, eat thumping, great clean bass. so which one is the best, in your opinion, pound for pound, maybe a little more for bass. also, if anyone has another suggestions, i would appreciate it. thanks so much-Mitch.

I picked up a 16:9 720p/1080i front end home theater dlp projector. I am hooking it up to a nintendo Wii (RGB component 480p), an upscaling dvd player and a home theater PC.

The projector has a composite, s-video, RGB component video, vga and hdmi input. With only one input for hdmi I need to choose whether to use that for the dvd player or the home theater PC.

VGA allows twice the bandwidth of component but is still analog. If I hook up the dvd player to the hdmi and keet the htpc, will I see that much of loss on the PC? I need to pick a hdmi to dvi converter to hook up the PC. Hate to waste the money for one if I won't notice any real distance
