IF you are a certain age you probably remember the cassette tape. Now more or less obsolete, many music lovers have "upgraded" to digital formats. Going through my 200-plus tape collection I found many have holes on both ends of the case, I'm guessing it was for some type of steel rod security...

Have had the RX-A2A about 15 months now. Lately it's been acting strange, after I power everything off for the night, ( TV, Blu-ray player, AVR) around 11:00 PM the RX-A2A will suddenly power on for a few seconds then shut itself off. Does not happen every night, just a day here and there. It's...

I'd like to be able to read and respond to the subjects this site was named for, such as AUDIO / VIDEO, etc, and filter out the garbage I don't need to see, all the rants about Trump, guns, abortion, etc.

It's an IROC-Z, but I don't know which year, etc. The owner moves it around the apartment complex and out to the street to avoid it being towed away as junk. The interior is a mess to say the least.

So I was hooking up my gear to the "new" receiver, and broke the friggin' optical output on my Marantz CD player, now the Toslink cable will not snap in securely.. So if I want digital out I need a coax digital audio cable. The local Best Buy (1 mile away), does not have them in stock BUT they...

My AVR is out for repair, so the whole system is disconnected and I'm taking the opportunity to label all wires and cables, and replace some. I've got a 4K blu-ray player, wondering if I should upgrade that cable since the AVR will pass a 4K signal, but my current TV is not 4K (that's the next...

This just started happening: I have a Yamaha RX-A1020 AVR, Yamaha BD-S477 blu-ray, and Sony Bravia 50" LCD TV. all use HDMI. When I leave a dvd in the player and power on the system with my Logitech Harmony 650 remote, the speakers will pop, the AVR display panel will flip-flop between 'decoder...

Mine was a SONY DiscMan, came with a cassette tape shaped adapter to play a CD thru a car cassette deck. I still have it, was doing a little 'spring cleaning' and found it buried in the closet. Put some new batteries in and it still works.

IF I upgrade my TV (buy a new one) from a 2K to 4K, will I need to replace all HDMI cables? Not sure if I will get a 60hz or 120hz refresh rate TV.

Let the buyer beware certainly applies to eBay, what a scam they have going! And when I...

Is anyone old enough to remember those evil old energy wasting incandescent light bulbs? You know, the screw in kind? EASY to replace? EASY to find at the grocery store aisle? Then we went to those EASY to replace screw in tree-hugger long life squiggly looking bulbs, BUT they contain MERCURY...

Why so many commercials while watching a YouTube video? Very annoying.
