Home Theater

A multimedia projector is a display device that can display multiple types of media. Such as DVD players, CATV boxes, PC's and laptops. Most have multiple inputs with different video connectors and formats supported.

Speakers are analog devices. There is no cable and connector that will connect a digital audio jack to a speaker without a digital to analog conversion and an amplifier. If the audio output is digital, you will need a compatible amplifier that has the same digital input. Then you will need to link the amplifier to the speaker with exterior grade cable.

No, but the HDMI cable also carries AUDIO.

Theoretically it is possible to change a tube on a television. However, if the question is being asked, it suggests a limited experience of television repair. Television tubes require very high voltages to operate, in the order of 20,000 volts or higher. These voltages can be lethal and they are present within a television circuit long after the television has been turned off.

In addition to the danger, lining up a new tube requires detailed knowledge of the television model and the procedure to obtain a good image.

Unless you are properly trained and qualified to repair televisions, do not ever remove the covers.

Finally, the cost of a new tube for most televisions is now higher than a replacement television and it makes no financial sense to attempt a tube

replacement.

I replaced a broken Picture Tube on a RCA set myself, I got a shock while lifting the old tube into my car, I forgot to discharge the tube and lucky I didn't drop it, that would have been dangerous.

I found an old used tube to replace it, a new rebuild would be too costly. I don't recommend anyone do this unless you have some knowledge.

GOLD IS USUALLY THE + HOWEVER, IF YOU ARE LOOKING ONLY AT ONE END, YOU BETTER CHECK THE OTHER END AND MAKE SURE IF YOU ARE ATTACHING BOTH ENDS AS PART OF THE SAME INSTALLATION, IT WILL NOT REALLY MATTER OTHER THAN GOING ALONG WITH THE INDUSTRY STANDARD JUST MAKE SURE IT GETS CONNECTED:

Quick answer to this is NO !!

A converter will ONLY work with unencrypted channels. IE Freeview channels. For encrypted serviced for eg: SKY HD, it will not be compatible with the HDCP (copy protection) signal, which must remain digital.

A HDMI to Component cable will only work with an ANALOGUE HDMI port, and as you can imagine, these are extremely rare.

I work for SKY, and we are currently looking into ways to solve these issues, but at the moment, it's possibly a firmware update (via USB stick) from the manufacturers website, or putting up with a non-hd signal until you upgrade your TV to a truly Hd-Ready (look for the logo!) set.

OR.... you could try to request, or get hold of a Thompson HD box, which was manufactured with component outs. (but is now discontinued. Sky have very limited stock of these, and they are only available in A-Grade (refurb) condition. (which is still excellent ;)

Hope this helps !!

There are many different places available where one can purchase a cheap TV home theater system. These places include, but are not limited to, Amazon and Ebay.

Get a kilogram of 'Holo' and seperate into 1000th's and each one is a 'Hologram'

Quadraphonic sound represented the first large scale attempts to bring surround sound to homes. It was a natural progression from stereo audio systems but doomed to failure. In the 1970s a number of manufacturers began to produce 4 channel sound systems and the BBC even began experimental 4 channel radio broadcasts. Apart from the high cost, there were two reasons why it never gained popularity.

First, all audio sources at the time were 2 channel analog and all tuned to handle audio frequencies. It was challenging to squeeze additional information into the sources and there was no consensus on the methods used. The result was a mix of incompatible sources and processors.

Even the best attempts at quadraphonic were of limited quality and the audiophiles who were expected to drive the market were not inspired by it and remained firmly committed to stereo.

The latest surround sound systems are digital and enjoy far higher higher bandwidth to handle the additional channels. Agreement on multi-channel encoding presented the public with easy choice for surround sound purchases but it is interesting to note that there is virtually no audio multi-channel content, only soundtracks for film and television.

The volume level that a Bose home theater can achieve depends on what kind of system that a person purchases. If someone is willing to spend the money, then a Bose system can be extremely loud.

DVD players don't typically have a 'reset' feature. If you are speaking of clearing a password from the parental control function, you will need to let us know the model of the DVD player you have.

The answer is FALSE

Most flat screen televisions have standard mounting hole patterns. Common spacings are a square layout of 75mm x 75mm, 100mm x 100mm and 200mm x 200mm.

First step is to check the mounting hole spacing on the existing mount. Some will have fixed patterns while others will have adjustable fixing holes.

Then compare the mount with the manual for the new television and you will have your answer.

Before fixing a larger television, make sure that the wall fixings are sufficient to support the new television. If you are not confident to check this aspect of the fixing, it is worth calling a professional to advise you.

The display size of the screen is measured on the diagonal. For instance, lower left hand corner to upper right hand corner. For the TV itself, the size will vary on the case design.

Your out of luck but you could buy a OUTBOARD HDTV tuner for just under $200 at Best Buy in the US.

The GREEN and BLACK is a non stereo hook-up cable. Use the Green for VIDEO and the Black for the LEFT channel of AUDIO.

The proper way for a home theater to be set up is for all audio and video input components (DVD Player, Cable Box, etc) to be connected directly into the home theater receiver with the only video output being the the TV. The TV should not act as an input device to the receiver, only as a output monitor. The sound being produced by the components will then go directly out to the speakers. If you are trying to set up your components directly into the TV and then feeding the TV into the receiver, you're setup is backwards.

Usually this is a sync problem when viewing the screen with sound through a surround receiver. See if your receiver has a lip sync feature to compensate for the delayed audio.

Surround sound uses multiple speakers surrounding individuals to produce a more immersible experience. Normal speakers generally have only one or two sources.

Home audio systems can be purchased in almost any store or any website that sell electronics. Popular places one could look are Best-Buy, Wal-Mart and Amazon.

Open the trunk and disconnect the electric wires there. Go in the back seat and remove the covers/unscrew them.

Sound proofing a room is not an easy task. The principle is to use multiple sound absorbing layers on the walls, floor and ceiling and also to eliminate ALL gaps through all layers. A one inch hole throgh a wall will render even the best sound insulation largely ineffective.

The simplest way to reduce sound leakage is to seal all the gaps in the existing walls, floor, ceiling, doors and windows. Gaps around doors and windows are particularly important. While most walls provide a reasonable reduction in sound, internal doors and single glazed widows are weak areas. Adding a second sheet of glass or plastic to a window can help as can a heavier door. However, to get significantly better noise reduction, a second skin is required. Effectively, this is an additional floor, ceiling and walls that is built inside the existing structure. The inner skin must not touch the outer one and the floor will typically sit on neoprene support pads. Mineral wool insulation is used inside the two skins and once again, attention to the details of sealing all gaps is vital.


Do not under estimate the size or cost of this kind of project. Once the second skin is installed and all air gaps have been sealed, some means of ventilation is needed (also silenced to prevent noise transmission) and this will add further cost and complexity. Companies offer specialist services in sound reduction because it is such a complex procedure at times. Before tackling it as a home project, make sure you do a lot of reading beforehand and be sure that the principles are fully understood. A poor installation will never be effective and can prove to be a very expensive mistake.
