Hey folks, Well, I have finally had it with this issue....I have an Olevia 437-s11 hdtv and a scientific atlanta Explorer 4250hdc cable box (provider is brighthouse networks)....and well, when changing channels sometimes the image will become un-centered, and continue to do this. I am...

Well, I am the proud owner of a TSU3000 Philips Pronto NG....sadly I can't figure out squat as far as building my dream user interface. I keep hosing over pages and such....last fun one was the system page with pretty buttons that didn't really do anything. Are there any good guides out...

OK...I know I promised this nearly a month ago...but various factors have kept me from sitting down and getting through enough varieties of music to accurately describe this speaker. I also felt I should give it the full 30 days to see how I like it...I make the mistake of rushing things too...

Yeah, I've pretty much decided it's time to consider ways to kill off some noise from my apartment, as well as do some acoustic treatments. I just need to know if there are any treatments that are easily removable for when I do move out, and how much wall damage has to be inflicted? For...

Heh, Yeah this is in steam since it's not exactly on topic yet... I just got done all of two minutes ago ordering a pair of Onix Reference 0.5 speakers from AV123. I will say one thing....only option for saturday delivery is UPS red....$108 :( ....so I went for the $31 standard shipping...

This was something I figured out today, after a bout of boredom. In my bedroom, where I had space to burn, I was running 6.5" bookshelf speakers...they had to be placed over 2.5 feet from the back wall to have optimal sound balance (BR-1 kit speakers). These things sounded great, but I ended...

The cables are all tough and are cracking! I had this happen to the left and right dedicated cables first, I ended up cutting off the outer jacketing to be able to use them again...now the main cable is doing it! What the hell? this is the first time I have ever seen a cable degrade so...

Yeah, I got sick and tired of the speaker placement woes in my apartment, and decided I cannot get a proper speaker placement in my living room...the south end of the room is just the worst possible layout for it's size. So I put my RX-496 reciever in my rack instead of the surround reciever...

Well, I am getting sick of cramping my HT into the left 2/3rds of my living room...so I got the notion to buy some Axiom M2s for all 5 channels, and cieling mount them.... Other than the obvious directionality issue, are there going to be any other problems that might arise from this...

Yeah, it's about time I vent on this...as it seems we are having a rash of them lately...and not just limited to this board...but I'll leave the rant relative to here. ....Guys, befor any of you start a mini-crusade about something audio related, please RTFS (read the fracking site!)...most...

Yep, I'm having issues with my DVD changer...silly tray will open to the right point, however it will *immediately* pull the tray back in. Took about 30mins to luck out and get my velvet revolver CD out of it. I am somewhat clueless on how these mechanisms work, and any help to speed up my...

Yes, it's true, and there's no hype, trickery, or general retardedness involved. No...I have not been sampling random plants from the backyard again either (although that might make some pop albums sound better, but I digress..) It's....a UNIVERSAL REMOTE!!!! Yes, that's it ladies, and...

I'm tempted to start up a new project, but I want to mak sure this is even feasable yet, since I do have a bad habit of getting into stuf that is way out there. Well, I pretty much like the smooth sound of a folded horn loudspeaker, but I was thinking "Hmm Steve....is it possible to make a...

Well, the T-Amp fried today, being fed from a power supply the EXACT same power specs as theirs...why might you ask? Internal arcing.... Hooray for shoddy design! Needless to say, I loved it's sound, but I'm NOT spending godawful amounts of money for NiMH batteries to run one since it...

American Technology Corp. is at it again ...their crystal speakers didn't go anywhere (though it should have), lets see if this gets rolling. http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/techinnovations/2003-05-19-hss_x.htm

Well I up and got my first apartment of my own, so it was time to get a real surround sound setup....bad part I only had a few hundred bucks and an old yamaha 5.1 receiver. So to EBay! $200 shipped later (haha my cables cost $20 more!), I ended up with this set...and boy was I surprised when...

Please note, I am not reviewing any kind of audio quality...since my stance on cables and SQ gains is that it's not worth it for that. However, I decided to go with something to make my home theater look good, since I will have to deal with visible cable runs (landlord said NO to running them...

I just finally moved into an apartment of my own, so I'm working on setting up my first HT setup. The room is only 11x14, and honestly not the best of layouts. Basically for a $250 price range, do you think this system is decent? http://www.yamaha.com/yec/products/speakers/NSBP4500.htm I...

I swear it's gotta be a freaking joke... The soundcards claim S/N ratios of 100Db, yet I can hear hiss on my Yammie at about 50pct (which even on my CD player only hisses at the top 10pct of the volume, and it claims hte same S/N ratio). The speakers....I can't even find a proper starting...

<font color='#000000'>Or earbuds.. Basically, I've decided to save a few bucks and start using public transportation. Problem with this is the monstrous behemoth cans I have for headphones (sony something 150s, they are quite bad really)... So I'm looking for the best set of phones...
