Make sure you TV is set to the proper channel, and recheck your connections.

What format is best to play in a home stereo system?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Home stereos could have a CD or DVD player in them. Car stereos could have a CD player in them. The 'best' format depends upon what your expectations of quality or compatibility are. For the best quality and compatibility, use CD-audio discs, with RedBook audio format. For the longest playing time, use MP3 encoded CD discs or USB media. This will not be the best quality, but will give you considerably longer playing time (typically 10x the time). Some other compressed audio formats, such as APE and FLAC exist with lossless audio quality comparable to CD-audio, but are not supported on many home or car audio players.

Audio in a digital domain is used in the same way as in an analog domain. Editing, processing, filtering can all be carried out in similar ways in either domain.

Asked by Wiki User

# Remove the battery cover on the back of the remote and look for the model number ("RCR8153603P" for instance) # Consult list of TV codes for your model via: http://support.rcaaccessories.com/index.html (or search online) # Press and hold the TV button on the remote. LED will stay "ON". # Enter the code for your brand of TV into the remote while continuing to hold the TV button down. LED will go out during number entry and turn back on when the last digit is entered. # Release the TV button. LED will flash and go out if number is entered successfully, or flash 4 times if it detects an error. # Press Channel up or down to see if this has worked.

Why do you get black bands at the top and bottom of tv when watching films?

Use the ASPECT button on the remote to make the picture fill the screen. This will not always work. The program was made in the wide screen format and not necessarily made for the aspect of your TV screen.

Can you connect your iPad to the tv?

Yes. All you need is a component cable which can be purchased at Radio Shack or Best Buy. Just plug the component cable into your iPod and then to the back of your TV. Make sure you have your iPod settings set to TV Out.

How to build a flat screen tv?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Modern electronic design and assembly is outside the scope of any home electronics builder. Devices as complex as televisions are beyond the abilities of most smaller electronics companies.

However, a starting point is to obtain a display panel. LCD display panels can be purchased from a number of electronics component suppliers.

Next is the image processor that can take a video signal and convert it into the correct signal format to feed to the display panel. A single board, high speed signal processing computer might do the job.

Add power supplies, a case and a user control interface and you have a flat screen television.

Before rushing out to buy the parts, you must expect the components to cost far more than a standard television. It will absorb vast amounts of time in electronic design, software and assembly and demands a skill set that few people have. The end result is likely to be inferior to even the cheapest televisions around.

RCA makes many models of televisions. We will need to know the model, or at least the size of your television in order to answer this question. Without this information, this question is akin to asking 'What size of tires does my Ford take?'

How much money is a model B kodascope projector worth?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Depending on the condition of the mechanics of the machine, as well as the cosmetic appearance of the machine, a range of $50.00 to $300.00 would be the going price. I have seen this item at a thrift shop for $27.00 intact. Although this is a rare find, over the years I have seen them at yard sales and pawn shops as well. Replacement bulbs and tubes are sometimes problematic. If you happen to locate a machine that is up and running when you buy it, you run the risk of blowing a bulb or tube each time the machine is switched on. The hardest thing a tube has to do is turn on. The initial power surge is usually what kills the tube. When I was in the military, we had lots of tube powered electronic devices, which we never switched off. This extended the life of the tubes for years as opposed to weeks when switching off/on. Of course you can't leave your projector on for this amount of time, I include this information about tube technology as most folks today do not have experience with tube devices. A few Fender Guitar Amps still use tubes, as the sound is preferable to transistor amps. Tubes were last manufactured in China, after the USA companies discontinued production. A quick internet search for bulbs and tubes might be in order before investing in a projector that you intend to operate on a long term basis. These machines are great fun and as a kid inspired me to going in to the motion picture business.

To me the Kodacope Projector is priceless!

Audio typing is done using speech recognition software to type... for example, you can use the soft ware to write a word document. I can say "I like speech recognition PERIOD" and it will look like "I like speech recognition."

Why does your projector have a yellow tint?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Computers use three signals to create a color image. Red, green and blue colors are mixed to create all colors on the screen. If one of the three colors is missing, a color cast will be seen. The green and yellow tints indicate that the blue signal is missing. White will therefore be a mix of red and green rather than a mix of all three colors. The color displayed will be yellow rather than white. Some projectors also use the same connectors for both RGB and component signals. Component signals also use three wires but the color is encoded differently. If the projector is looking for a component signal and actually receiving an RGB signal, color distortions will result. Check the input set up on the projector to see if it is set to component instead of RGB or VGA settings. Often, the problem can be tracked down to the interconnect between the computer and the display. VGA connectors and the cable are liable to fail after a period of time because of the delicate nature of the connecting pins or the cable itself. The first step is to replace the cable and see if the problem is fixed. If not, then the problem may well be within the display card of the computer or the receiver circuitry in the projector. If possible, use a known good computer display and cable to see if red green and blue are being output from the computer. If they are, then the input circuitry in the projector is suspect. If the fault persists, it points to a fault in the computer itself.

Change the surround setting on your receiver. Choosing Hall or Concert adds reverb and delay to the speakrs. Try a Club or Jazz Hall setting.

What are audio cables?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Audio connectors and video connectors are electrical connectors for carrying audio signal and video signal, of either analog or digital format. Analog A/V connectors often use Shielded cable to inhibit radio frequency interference (RFI) and noise. They use connectors such as SPEAKON, XLR, TRS and RCA.

What does a projector look like?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are two types of projectors: The two types of projectors are LCD and DLP.

LCD:

LCD stands for Liquid Crystal Display. The way this places an image on a screen is fascinating and not nearly as complex as you might imagine. A bulb is set up to shine a fairly powerful light through a prism. The prism splits the light into its component colors and these are sent through small LCD screens. The screens themselves are sent signals to allow just so much of the light through at specific pixel locations. The light is then beamed through a lens onto a screen where the images can be seen by the human eye.

DLP:

DLP, or Digital Light Processing is a bit more complex. This time the light is shined through a spinning color wheel onto a chip that is mounted with hundreds of thousands of tiny mirrors. The mirrors are turned off or on by electronic impulses according to the need for the color at that moment. Even though only one color is shown at a time, one color follows another so quickly that the primary colors seem to blend into the appropriate color. The image appears to be constantly lit, when in fact small parts of it are constantly flickering. This technology was developed by Texas Instruments and is based on an older technology that was used for color television in the 1950s.
